=== [[Mod:Inventory|Inventory]] === <spoiler text="VIDEO: DayZ Official Inventory System Tutorial">{{YouTube|u3AiTOhmErE}}</spoiler> [[File:DayZ Inventory.PNG|700px]] You can interact with items through your [[Mod:Inventory|Inventory]] window. To use an item, you can right-click it and select an action from the menu that appears. When looting (with the mouse wheel menu), lootable items show up in the left side of the inventory window. They are highlighted in white, and should include a number at left. That number indicates the amount available. Any number to the right indicates how many you have in your inventory. To pick up the item, double-click it or click it and press "Take". You can also press the arrow to the right of the item name. You can dispose of items in your inventory by clicking them and pressing "Drop". You can stash your stuff in one of four places: * Your [[Mod:Inventory|Inventory]]. * Your [[Mod:Backpack|Backpack]]. '''This is independent from your inventory'''. * Your [[Mod:Tent|Tents]]/[[Mod:Vehicles|Vehicles]]. Be careful, because other people can loot these and they do not persist across servers. * The ground. Items on the ground may despawn if you leave the immediate area. [[Mod:#Notes|20]] * Your hands. You may carry certain items in your hands, but keep in mind that this prevents you from keeping your primary weapon equiped. The inventory system is one of the most unintuitive parts of Arma 2. Your inventory appears when you press '''G'''. It holds the items you have handy. Your bag appears in your inventory, but its storage is independent. Think realistically—you can't use items in your backpack unless you take them out. To open up your [[Mod:Backpack|Backpack]] and fuss with its contents, click on it and press "Open bag" button (to the right of the bag slot). If you're not currently looting, you'll see some numbers change in the left side of the inventory. Numbers on the right side indicate what exists in your inventory and numbers on the left indicate what exists in your bag. Exchange items in and out of the Backpack in the same manner as described above for looting from the ground. Be aware that some items take up more than one slot, such as Jerry Cans (3), Car wheels (6) Main Rotor Assemblies (10) and certain magazines, such as the M240 and M249 box magazines (2). [[File:Elunah.com_DayZ_Inventory2.jpg|700px]] If you are currently looting, you can store stuff into your [[Mod:Backpack|Backpack]] directly by clicking your bag and pressing the open bag button (to the right of the bag slot). This will change the [[Mod:Inventory]] screen directly, and you will be able to see your Backpacks slots at right. Some items take up more than one slot. Multiples of these items cannot be stored in your inventory. For instance, if you try to pick up a [[Mod:M1911|M1911]] pistol, it will replace your [[Mod:Makarov PM|Makarov]]. However, you can store these in your bag. If you store that M1911 in your [[Mod:Backpack|Backpack]], it will take up a block of five slots. You don't need to worry about shifting items around as long as there are enough slots. If not, you'll drop items starting at the bottom-right. ''See also: [[Mod:Inventory|Inventory]]''
