Summary
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice Leaguecould be repeating the mistakes of another popular third-person shooter:Modern Warfare: Zombies. Both games seem to run into trouble when it comes to inventory management.
Suicide Square: Kill the Justice Leaguehas been met with some praise since its release in January, yet its limited stash space is a troubling feature. There are 300 inventory slots per game inKill the Justice League, and those spots build up quickly. This can lead players to use hard-fought weapons and gear before they’re needed, or worse, discard them.
Kill the Justice League Stretches Loot Thin
This problem is an echo of an infamousdesign choice inModern Warfare 3: Zombies. TheZombiesmode inModern Warfare 3saw a stash limit of 10 items per game. The ability to plan ahead in games is undeniably important; ample stash space aids the accomplishment of tasks, so the stash limit ofModern Warfare 3: Zombiesmade planning ahead more difficult. And in games with several characters, stash limits can become especially pesky.
“Within this city’s fiscal stash, Lex Luthor sits upon your cash.” This puzzle fromthe Riddler inSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leagueseems to portend the coveted nature of stash space in the game. While each chapter ofKill the Justice Leagueallows for 300 inventory slots, these spaces are divided up among several playable characters, further complicating the calculations players must make when picking up loot.
Upgrades Can Make Kill The Justice League Stash Problem Worse
Several days ago, Rocksteady announced the introduction of a new addition to theKill The Justice Leagueroster. An alternate timeline version of the Joker will serve as another asset in the fight to defeat Brainiac. Whilethe upcoming release of the Joker is exciting, it underscores the potential problems with limited loot space.
As DLC continues to be released,Kill The Justice League’s inventory cap can become problematic. With a storage stash shared between characters, space could become hard to come by as each new DLC requires gear. Gear upgrades can also lead to stash space concerns for players. Players are first allowed to upgrade weapons after getting through theEarth-2 segment ofKill The Justice League, and an Elite capability allows players to roll back and choose specific augments for their weapons. With this incentive to upgrade, it’s easy to see how the 300 space stash between members of the Suicide Squad can get cramped as the game goes on.
Comparing MW3’s Stash to Kill The Justice League
Theinventory issues inModern Warfare: Zombiesbecame were arguably more severe than those ofKill the Justice League. Still, as DLC additions and weapons upgrades continue to take up space,Kill the Justice League’s stash limit could become just as problematic. While all additions and upgrades toKill the Justice Leagueare welcome, more stash space could prove literally game-changing.
The Joker will be releasedSuicide Squad: Kill the Justice League’s first DLC on March 28.
