As expansive as its universe is, Starfield has a lot of features and items players can interact with. However, moving things around isn't exactly explained early in the game. We'll make things simple for you with our guide on how to place items in Starfield.
In-game, players can move items such as food, weapons, and spacesuits. There aren't exactly many limits on the things you can interact with, which makes playing Starfield more immersive and realistic.
Once you've got down how to place items in Starfield, perhaps you can spare some time to check out our other guides on the game such as the Starfield Mantis quest guide and how to get Argon. We have this and so much more in our Starfield hub!
How to place items in Starfield
In most games, when people take or move their items, they usually have a fixed position or respawn after such interactions. But in Starfield, this isn't exactly the case. If you move and place an item in a new location, that item actually stays there. This certainly makes playing Starfield feel more realistic.
To pick up and place items in Starfield, you must hold down the "E" key for PC users. While for those with controllers, you must hold down the "A" button. You can hold down these buttons while moving around an area.
Then when it comes to placing items, you simply let go of the button you're pressing to drop the item. These controls won't add your item to your inventory which makes it quite convenient to move things around in-game.
Remember that not all items can be picked up. Be sure to check if your encountered item can be interacted with. While object interaction is a major feature, it still has its limits.
How to throw items in Starfield
Besides learning how to pick up, move, and place items, you can also throw items if you don't feel like walking around to place them. This mainly helps you to distract enemies when you need to sneak around, set up traps, and even solve puzzles you encounter in Starfield.
To throw items in Starfield, simply click the "R" key for PC and "X" for controller. This will make your character throw the held item. The effect and distance of your throw are influenced by the planet you're currently on though.
With that, you can now place items and even throw them with ease in Starfield. For more content like this, check out our other guides on the game such as how to romance Sarah Morgan and how to add a workbench to your ship.
