Summary

With the old HUD, it was possible to modify the number of slots in fort_inventory_weapon_hotbar_component using SetMaxSlots, and this worked correctly in-game.
Now, even if this value is modified, we are limited to a maximum of 5 slots.

Hi there! The number of slots which can be set for the fort_inventory_weapon_hotbar_component are deliberately limited to values which make sense within Fortnite. Non-Fortnite inventories i.e. subclasses of inventory_component have fewer restrictions. There is however a bug preventing the UI from reflecting (valid) slot number changes at the moment. Due to this, we are going to close this particular bug but work on the UI issue.
