When making your way around the world of Schedule 1, you’ll undoubtedly want to carry plenty of stuff with you - however, there’s only so much you can keep on your person at any one time. Indeed, not only are carry spots severely limited, but it’s also important to ensure that you’re able to conceal any less than honest items from the police if they decide to search you. Given this, you may find yourself in a situation where you need to drop items from time to time - and, while this can definitely feel like a blow, it’s still good to know just in case you get caught out!

Why Might I Need to Drop Items in Schedule 1?

Before we go further, it’s probably worth taking a moment to think about why you might need to drop items in Schedule 1, anyway. After all, if you’re dropping an item, that means you won’t be able to sell or use it - so you’ll definitely need to have a good reason to do so!

Well, there are actually a couple of reasons to do this. Perhaps the most obvious here is simply that you don’t need an item - most often due to upgrading your equipment to better systems and being left with gear that you don’t use anymore. Since you cannot sell this directly (let’s be honest - selling equipment you’ve previously used to grow weed isn’t very responsible, is it?), you’ll probably just need to drop the items somewhere discreet.

In addition to this, you may also need to drop items simply because you’ve run out of space in your pockets. Indeed, Schedule 1’s pocket system is very restricted, and as such, you’ll only be able to carry a small number of items at one time. The saving grace here, of course, is that there’s no weight system. Nevertheless, it’s still pretty tricky to manage your inventory, and if you end up carrying too many different items, you may have to drop something of lower value to take the high-value stuff home.

And, of course, this also ties in well with the final issue: police checks. If you find yourself at risk of getting caught by the police during a check, dropping an item could potentially help clear your pockets of less than legal items. In turn, concealing any illicit goods you have left should be much easier!

How to Drop Items in Schedule 1

With the aforementioned points in mind, you’re likely now wondering how dropping items in Schedule 1 works. Fortunately, this is pretty easy to do! Firstly, there’s the trash function in the game. Items you no longer want can be dropped in a trash can for disposal, and this has the added benefit of potentially offering a small source of income if you recycle the trash in a trash compactor.

Alternatively, you can discard an item. First, open up your phone by pressing the tab button. In addition to bringing up your phone display, this will also create a red “discard” box in the bottom right corner of the screen. Then, all you need to do is select the item you want to discard from your inventory and drag it to the red box. You can discard a single item at a time by using the right click button; otherwise, using the left click button will select the entire stack at once.

Bear in mind that you can reverse the discard action, but only for a limited amount of time! After placing an item or a stack of items in the discard box, you’ll notice a line appear around the box; once the line is complete, the item will be discarded forever. This equates to a five second grace period, so you won’t have long to change your mind!
