[[File:Ingame inventory.jpg|thumb|300x300px|An example of a player's Inventory screen]]
Your '''Inventory''' is the screen where you can access and manipulate all of the [[Loot|items]] on your person and those on the ground in close proximity to you. To view your character's inventory, you need to press the {{key|Tab}} key by default.

Though this screen is used to display a number of things, when a player refers to their "inventory" what they really mean is the space (or "slots") in which equipment and weapons are stored and kept on a character. The number of inventory slots available for you to use will vary depending on what kind of [[Clothing|clothing]] you are wearing and whether or not you are equipped with a [[Backpack|backpack]]. Different items of clothing will have a differing number of slots depending upon how many pockets they have, for example, and can be arranged in many different ways (6 rows x 2 columns vs. 4 rows x 3 columns for the same number of total slots). Certain pieces of equipment, such as the [[Chest Holster]], can only hold a specific kind of item (in this case, a [[Weapons#Handguns|handgun]]).

You can also use your Inventory tab to view items on the ground in your vicinity and either pick them up, use them, or use them in [[Crafting|crafting]]. While you are in the Inventory screen you can choose to craft items, eat food or drink beverages, use medical supplies on yourself or others, and manage your supplies. You can also use the Inventory screen to assign items to what is known as the "hotbar" at the bottom of your screen in order to quickly use them with one key press; all you have to do is click and drag an item to the desired slot -- 1 through 10 -- at the bottom of the screen. The number of available slots on your hotbar is determined by the clothing you are wearing; generally speaking, the more slots that a piece of clothing has itself, the more likely it is to contribute additional slots to the hotbar as well.

In addition to being used for the management of your gear, the Inventory screen is also employed to present information about the character you are playing. The center part of this screen displays a zoom-able, full-body view of your character which can also be rotated for a complete review. This is useful for telling, at a glance, what the condition of your clothing is at that moment. Above that and to the right you'll find status indicator icons that represent a multitude of [[Character Status|player health conditions]] such as energy, hydration, temperature, etc.

# '''Vicinity''' - Items in a player's vicinity that the player is not carrying. Only displays items in very close proximity to your current position. To pick up an item, click and drag it into your inventory with the left mouse button, or alternatively double-clicking it with the left mouse button will add it to your inventory if there is enough space available.
# '''Character''' - Visualization of a player's character. Displays which clothes the player is wearing at the moment, as well as status indicator icons related to player health.
# '''Hands''' - Displays the item that the player is currently holding in their hands. Your view of this item can be rotated by clicking and holding the left mouse button.
# '''Inventory''' - Items that the player is currently carrying. To rearrange items, click and hold the left mouse button over an item and drag it to another open area of your inventory.
# '''Equipped items''' - On the top of the fourth panel there are slots where uniforms and other accessories and weapons take place. (0.63)
# '''Attachment Slots''' - Attachments that are currently equipped to the item being viewed, either in the player's hands or on the ground. Attachments can be detached or reattached by dragging them from the weapon or dragging them on top of it.
# '''Hotbar''' - Items from the player's inventory can be assigned to each of these slots. Each slot corresponds with a number ({{key|1}} to {{key|0}} from left to right at the top of your keyboard). The number of available slots on your hotbar is determined by the clothing you are wearing, and these slots are not for storage; they are only used for assigning key bindings. Once a hotbar slot is assigned to an item by dragging the item into the slot, the player can put it into their hands slot without entering the inventory screen by pressing the corresponding number key. It can then be put away afterward by pressing the same assigned key again.
