Quick Setup

Before entering a fight, lock the tools and weapons you rely on most. This prevents accidental drops or swaps when you're clicking frantically.

How to Lock Hotbar Slots

1. Open your inventory (default: E)

2. Look at the slot in your hotbar you want to protect (bottom row)

3. Press your configured lock key while hovering over that slot

4. A visual indicator (usually a lock icon or highlight) will appear on the slot

5. Close your inventory

Your locked hotbar items now stay in place even during intense combat. If you try to drop the item, press the drop key, or click it into a container, nothing happens—the slot remains locked.

Unlocking When Needed

When you're done fighting or want to swap gear, open your inventory again and press the lock key on that slot to toggle it off. You can lock multiple hotbar slots at once for maximum protection.
