In Dead Island the inventory is on a separate screen to the game play, when selected it covers the screen pausing the game and allowing you to use all of your items, The inventory allows you to repair broken items, select new items to use, drop or lose old items that you do not wish to carry anymore. The inventory allows you to view quests, skill sets for your character and gives you a map of the current area of the world you’re in, the inventory menu also lets you to view the server you are in if you are online e.g. lets you look at who is playing with you, the name of the other online players and the connection they have to the server. Without this inventory menu in Dead Island it would most certainly become impossible to survive in this zombie infested world, you need the inventory to select weapons view the condition of weapons and lets you see how many the items that can heal ,you, own.
