Yes.
Halloween salvage was the only way to get to 5 for non VEATs before GR but it never had any special ties to a particular slot.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
I just wondered.
There are times that I have created a toon with a certain look but later find a better look with some new costume pieces. I do save the old looks for visual purposes of nostalgia.

Yeah, there are 5 costume slots total.

1 you unlock via halloween salvage
Doesnt matter what order you do them in.

Something seems to be borked about this and switching over. I brought my MM over to Hero from Villain at level 24 and was surprised to see I could do the mission for Serge at Icon for an extra slot right after doing the extra slot mission redside at level 20. So now I have 5 slots after doing the extra mission slot for Lauren at level 30 and turning in the Halloween salvage. I'm wondering what will happen when I do the level 40 mission for Carson for another slot.|

I went to the first tailor there, and she was the one with the costume slot mish. The mission was available. I took it and took down 30 Crey. Went back to the Icon and got the slot #5 unlocked.
I had assumed that the Halloween salvage was what unlocked the 5th slot. This proved me wrong. So the question I'm asking is: Is this working as intended? |
Have you tried turning in the Halloween salvage and seeing how the game reacts, since you already have all five costume slots?

Thanks to side switching, you can unlock all available costume slots through missions. Five costume slots is still the maximum.
Where to now?

How does this work for Rogues/Vigilantes who are tourists? Can they get the missions to unlock the slots from their "opposite" sides (since tourists are supposed to be locked out of mission contacts)?

No. You can only get costume missions from your current alignment (villains if you're a rogue).

edit: just checked on my rogue tank and he didn't unlock a 6th slot from the facemaker, don't know what would happen if you did like the VEATs and tried to unlock a 6th with Salvage, or if they can even still do that.

5 is the max for non-VEATs. Details regarding this were posted in one of the patch notes while i18 was still on test. I can't be arsed to bother finding a link for you right now.

http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Costume_Slot#Extra_Costumes
Soldiers of Arachnos
An Arachnos Soldier's or Arachnos Widow's original costume slot is forced to include unique, AT-specific accessories that give it a distinct appearance. To balance this, these Villain Epic Archetypes have one additional way to earn an extra costume slot, starting at level 10, by running missions for Brick Johnson in Port Oakes. AT-specific accessories cannot be added to any costume except the first slot. For this reason, the first newly-gained costume slot begins as a plain set of tights for these ATs, with only details like color scheme and facial features copied from the first slot. After this costume is modified, it becomes the default for all further alternate costumes.
Soldiers of Arachnos can use both this extra slot and the Halloween Salvage slot to achieve six costumes total, but this is not fully supported. The sixth slot does not appear in the costume selection window, therefore it can only be switched to by using /cc 5, described below. The sixth slot is a copy of the first non-Arachnos costume slot when the sixth slot was opened and cannot be edited at the Tailor. The first non-Arachnos costume slot can then be edited at the Tailor, allowing the character to have six unique costume options, as the sixth slot will not change to match.
