Optimal Inventory/Loadout?
Im sure it varies from player to player based on play style, but what would you guys recommend is a good optimal inventory is?
2500 max inventory. I keep my Lvl8 XMPS trash all the lower level ones. Have 5 Q.Caps passively generating more.
I keep all level USs, have 2 Q.Caps generating more L8 USs
One Q.Cap generating Rare Shields (Purp).
Basically what is considered well rounded if I’m making sense.
Thanks!

This is very dependent on your supply too. If you have a usable P8 farm nearby, you don't need those QCaps and can have more bursters actively in use. If you have a usable P8 farm you can also cap your R8s since more than 200 isn't really worth it given you can only use on per portal and get more whenever you want.
If you are playing alone, but have the farm, you might stock more lower level Resos, to ensure you're not doing level builds to get gear, etc. And that doesn't even get into the different styles of play, between Builders, Rechargers, Destroyers and the rest.
Basically, there's no general "loadout". You really have to judge for yourself what your situation needs you to keep in supply and what's not worth having.
As an example, I used to stock an average of 800-1000 bursters, no more than 200 R8s, no more than 100 C8s and 50 Hypercubes, around 200 mods, and then the rest in overflow of whatever I had. But these days, with all the VR kinetic generated items and the massively overpumped cube drop rate, it's hard to not cap with only 500 bursters still.
Anyone want 100 Hypercubes?
2000 Keys
It's highly variable depending on what my goals are, but "balanced" is not generally a word that applies to my inventory. (-: There was while a few years ago where my optimal inventory was the background level of R/VR stuff and keys that I needed for tactical strategic purposes, 20 R8, 20 R7, enough power cubes to sustain myself, and the rest was X8s. During that particular period of time my playstyle was to flatten large areas and leave behind a sea of grey.
Right now I'm running in a mode sort of like that but not quite as extreme because 500 extra inventory slots helps a lot. I still try to maintain at least a thousand X8s, I recycle down to ten power cubes when space gets tight because I have an abundance of hypercubes, and I keep more resos than I used to because neither pioneer nor liberator are going to double onyx themselves. Unfortunately I have 56 potential burster slots taken up by Apex boosts that I can't recycle (which I may have
whined aboutmentioned before), and I have a bit more overhead than I used to. Like you I keep my X8s stuffed in qcaps until I need them, because it takes almost no time to load and unload and there's no downside to getting a handful of free bursters every day. I keep X7s when I have space but recycle them when I can replace them with X8s.If I was primarily a builder rather than a smasher my inventory would look very different. I can only speculate about how it would be different because for me that's like imagining what it would be like to become a Martian.
hard to say depends where u live how things look. are u a builder, a destroyer etc ?
I think you kinda answered your own question in your first sentence…
I do like the PvP portion primarily, direct interaction with Agents, but I do build and field as that can be satisfying.
I guess a better question would be is how to best utilize Q.Caps? Obviously have each one holding 90-92 items which adds up and I consider to be “unusable” inventory. Hence why I have 5 caps dedicated to XMPS and 2 for USs as I like PvP.
I know it varies, as I did mention in my first sentence, I just wanted to see how everyone else handles their inventories. It allows me to make more efficient decisions when it comes to management as most of all of you have a lot more experience when it comes to what is considered a decent “baseline” of gear, or solid foundation I guess.
Appreciate all the feedback and tips so far!
I believe that's known as the @ace loadout (John Hanke). 😁
@Perringaiden True story: He commutes through my neighborhood and there's a coffee shop that he used to attack regularly on his way to work. Periodically I'd give him grief about not taking the portal out and he'd complain about not having weapons. Every now and then I'd drop a stack of X7s next to coffee shop portal for him.
@Zavrex724 Mostly I keep stuff in quantum caps that I'd have anyway. If I have 1000 X8s in my inventory I may as well load up ten quantum caps with 90 each and collect freebies.
