Hybrid items will take a new category in the store, they're colourless (or double/triple coloured if desired i suppose). They only fit in flex slots, and are only made from component items. Flex slot only should encourage more group play, or at the very least provoke more defensive play from teams being ratted.
Store prices will be the same as the regular store, 500 1200 3000 6500.
Slot pressure is an important part of game balance so these should typically be very expensive to start. The intent is to allow you to specialize in a unique way (at a cost) but keep choices interesting if you choose to go this route.

Behemoth Magazine
Cost: 3000 souls
Combination of [Titanic Magazine] and [Ammo Scavenger]
+ 125% Ammo
+ 20% Weapon Damage

I'm sure there's about a million more ideas people could make up but I think this would add an interesting 'luxury' tier of items that you can pay for to free up a slot.
