When you try to equip a special item, the game will notify you that doing so will prevent you from getting certain titles; a failsafe to ensure you don't accidentally use these items while you're aiming for a title run.

Additionally, you can see which items will lock you out below their description in your Backpack menu.

Patriot, SAA, and AT-Camouflage are Not Special Items
