Once the slots are assigned, whenever a player picks up the given weapon during a match, it will automatically go to the set preferred slot.
To put it in simpler words, assume you set Assault Rifle to slot 3 in the Preferred Item Slots setting. After that, whenever you pick up an Assault Rifle during a match, you will find it in the third slot.
Now you might wonder, "what if I pick up the same weapon but of higher rarity?" In that case, your lower rarity weapon will get automatically replaced by the higher rarity weapon while maintaining the specified preference in the Preferred Item Slots setting.
Also, when you pick up unassigned items, they will go in the first empty slot (left to right). However, it will get replaced when you pick up the weapon type assigned to the respective slot.
