Get rid of those pesky extra items with these helpful tips.
This article is over 5 years old and may contain outdated information

Sometimes during a long match of Apex Legends, you might pick up an item or two that you no longer need, clogging up your inventory for more important health and ammo items along the way.

You might also have a key scope or item that an ally needs to make all the difference in battle—but first, you’ll need to drop it for them to pick up.

Dropping items isn’t exactly spelled out for you, and in the middle of a firefight, it could make the difference between life and death. To help you in your next battle, here’s how you can drop any item from your inventory to make space for better gear.

On PC, you want to open up your inventory and simply drag the item(s) you don’t want to the side of the screen to discard them.

On Xbox One or PlayStation 4, hover over any item you want to get rid of and press the A or X button respectively to drop it in front of your character. This will only drop one of that item, however—so to drop all of your ammo, for example, you need to press X on Xbox One or the Square button on PS4 to drop everything.

Once an item is dropped, anyone can pick it up—so make sure to not let something important fall into an enemy’s hands.
