How to Rotate Items in SCUM Inventory
Written by Rahul Gupta
To rotate an item in SCUM, hold Left Ctrl on your keyboard and move your mouse while hovering over the item. This will turn it, letting you change its shape in your inventory.
This works on anything you can pick up and place in your inventory. It helps you fit large or awkward items into your backpack or storage containers by switching between horizontal and vertical layout.
You do not need to click, drag, or press another key. Just make sure you are inside your inventory, then hold Left Ctrl, hover over the item, and move your mouse. You will see the item rotate immediately.
This control is not shown on-screen and is easy to miss, especially for new players. But it works as long as the item is in your inventory or a container you can move items inside.
If it is not working, make sure you are not in a crafting or looting menu that blocks item movement. You also cannot rotate items that are locked or in containers you do not have full access to.
Rotating does not change the item’s stats or how it works. It only helps you manage space and carry more gear.
Final Blurb
SCUM has a detailed inventory system that takes time to learn. Rotating items with Left Ctrl and mouse movement is one of the easiest tricks to save space fast.
