Hey there! So, you're diving into Resident Evil 7 and wondering about your inventory. It's pretty similar to older Resident Evil games, meaning space is super tight, so you'll need to be smart about what you carry. Don't worry, I'll walk you through it! Your inventory is accessed in real-time, so the game doesn't pause when you open it up. Keep that in mind when things get hairy! You've got two main menus: 'Items' and 'Combine'. If you're ever checking your health with the Genome Codex, it'll pop up right there too. The Item Menu This is where all your goodies are stored – key items, weapons, ammo, healing stuff, and even Skills. Because space is so limited, managing your inventory is key. If you find yourself overloaded, you can always stash items in an Item Box). Quick tip: The top row of your inventory is reserved for weapons. The first four slots there act as hotkeys, letting you quickly switch between your equipped firearms during gameplay. When you're looking at an item, you can usually 'Use', 'Examine', 'Combine', or 'Discard' it, though not all options are available for every item. Initially, your item grid is a 3x4 layout. But good news! You can expand this by finding Backpacks), which add an extra row of 4 slots. Keep an eye out for those! The Combine Menu This menu lets you craft new items. You'll find it works similarly to combining from the Item menu, but here you select the outcome you want. Once you find items that can be combined, the game will usually prompt you to try it out. Here's a quick look at what you can craft: | Ingredients | Herb "Herb (RE7)") | [Gun Powder](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Gun_Powder "Gun Powder") | [Solid Fuel](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Solid_Fuel "Solid Fuel") | [Supplements](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Supplements "Supplements") | |---|---|---|---|---| | Chem Fluid "Chem Fluid (RE7)") | [First Aid Spray](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/First_Aid_Spray "First Aid Spray") | Handgun Ammo "Handgun Ammo (RE7)") (10) | [Burner Fuel](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Burner_Fuel "Burner Fuel") (100) | [Psychostimulants](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Psychostimulants "Psychostimulants") | | [Strong Chem Fluid](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Strong_Chem_Fluid "Strong Chem Fluid") | [Strong First Aid Med](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Strong_First_Aid_Med "Strong First Aid Med") | [Enhanced Handgun Ammo](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Enhanced_Handgun_Ammo "Enhanced Handgun Ammo") (10) | [Flame Round](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Flame_Round "Flame Round") (2) | [Neuro Round](https://residentevil.fandom.com/wiki/Neuro_Round "Neuro Round") (2) | Item Stacking Most ammo, healing, and crafting items can stack up to a certain amount in one inventory slot.
