One of my biggest surprises with Schedule 1 is just how stingy it is with inventory space. When you're carrying various types and qualities of drugs, alongside a skateboard to zip around and countless other junk, your inventory is more often full than it is empty. It doesn't help that it's not clear at all how you drop items to remove them from your inventory.

I was relying on an army of shelving units for way longer than I care to admit, just so I could swap items in my inventory around. This meant having to sort through each one to find what I wanted at any given moment, so it was far from a perfect solution. So, here's what you've got to do to make some space.

While you can't drop items in a way that lets you pick them back up later, you can discard them, deleting them from your inventory entirely. You can discard items by dragging them into the small red box in the bottom right corner of the inventory screen, accessed by opening your phone.

Again, this is permanent. Discarded items are gone for good, so don't get rid of anything valuable, as you'll need to either buy it or make it all over again.

There's also no way to increase your inventory space, at least right now, so you're limited to the incredibly restrictive eight slots in your hotbar. Your best solution here is to buy a car, as these have space in the boot to store a few items. It makes it much easier to carry everything in a single trip if you're out dealing or on a shopping spree.

As for crafting items, such as anything in a can, bottle, or the leaves from crops, these are automatically dropped when used, so they won't clutter your inventory—but they do need to be picked up and placed in a bin. You'll need a rubbish bag to empty the bin before dropping the black bag into a compactor to turn it into cash. I recommend buying a litter picker from the hardware store so you can pick up multiple pieces of trash.

Rory has made the fatal error of playing way too many live service games at once, and somehow still finding time for everything in between. Sure, he’s an expert at Destiny 2, Call of Duty, and more, but at what cost? He’s even sunk 1,000 hours into The Elder Scrolls Online over the years. At least he put all those hours spent grinding challenges to good use over the years as a freelancer and guides editor. In his spare time, he’s also an avid video creator, often breaking down the environmental design of his favourite games. If you can’t track him down, he’s probably lost in a cave with a bunch of dwarves shouting “rock and stone” to no end.
