Gear Slots for more customization and player utility

[YakkoForever]

A gear slot for an ability. So you hit the button get the effect and then the ability goes on cooldown. the ability would be determined by what gear you have in the slot. ideally would have two slots. ideas for gear:
-windowmakers grapple hook from Overwatch or link's hookshot
-Lucio's right click (the boop mechanic)
- Short duration high health personal shield
-Low health long duration shield
-Jet booster that makes your normal boosters much faster for a short period
-Super jump -World's adrift style grapple hook
-Vacuum pulse that really sucks
- quick fire laser fills a role similar to Reinhardt's Firestrike
- dodge style ability
- A reset ability lets you reset the cooldown on your other ability


These are just some of the possibilities for the gear slots (do note that they are not replacements for weapons or throwables but just serve as utility/ mobility).

I see the grapple hook idea a lot. There is no gravity and were in space with jetpacks

I like the idea of some sort of temporary buffs. Perhaps give the ability items limited uses. So when the items uses were exhausted, you'd need to source a new one.
