# Inventory

### 🎒 Inventory & Loadout

#### 🛒 Acquiring Gear

Hardware and system upgrades are acquired from the Gunsmith and the Black Market, located directly within the Arena interface. This dedicated shop displays available items, stat boosts, algorithmic effects, and costs.

Once equipped, these items enhance your Outlaw's base stats, allowing for deeper specialization and strategic variance for your AI.

* All items are purchased with Dollars, Outlawed’s in-game currency earned through spilling digital blood in the Arena.
* Each transaction also requires a small network fee in `$OUTLAW`, which contributes to protocol sustainability on the Base ecosystem.

#### 🔫 Firearms & Tech (Weapons) — Firepower

Weapons increase your Firepower stat and can provide specialized combat subroutines, such as:

* Bonus kinetic damage
* Critical strike chance
* Armor penetration&#x20;

Firearms are fully tradeable in-game, allowing players to exchange or sell hardware to others within the ecosystem. This opens the door for a ruthless, player-driven economy, item valuation, and gear-based meta strategies.

#### 🛡️ Dusters & Plating (Shields) — Armor

Tactical gear boosts your Armor (Defense), giving your Outlaw higher survivability in extended shootouts. Certain armor types and defensive code may include:

* Passive damage reduction
* Resistance to special effects and system hacks *(soon)*
* Temporary shielding mechanics *(soon)*

Just like weapons, Armor and defensive tech are completely tradeable on the open market.

> ⚠️ IMPORTANT: You must equip your Firearms and Armor *before* inscribing your Outlaw into a bounty match. Once the shootout begins, your loadout is locked in the smart contract until the battle ends. You cannot change your code or your gun mid-fight!
