It's quite well known how difficult efficient inventory management is for console players of DayZ, from storing and sorting items, to simple things like picking items up to hands/Inventory, DayZ's console players have always struggled to productively manage their stuff. Here is a list of issues stopping players from being able to smoothly manage their inventory.
DAYZ CONSOLE INVENTORY ISSUES
- Items cannot be dropped whilst sprinting
- Items that are picked up whilst running past or over the item often do not pick up. instead, the animation shows as if it had worked, forcing players to double take
- There's no button to transfer items from right to left (from player inv to storage container) making for painstakingly long periods of time spent storing items via the current tap n hold method
- With no auto-sorting when picking up items, players are left unable to put away their weapons/equipt items when space is in fact creatable by moving some things around in the inventory.
- No help! no tips, hints, guides or ease of access when it comes to managing inventory UI on console DayZ! resulting in the mauling of many new players as they fumble to get their items/inventory in check before a hoard of zombies demolishes their chances of a good first experience!
