Players must pay close attention to inventory management in Atomic Heart to avoid running out of consumables and ammo when they need them the most. The Atomic Heart base inventory comprises 20 slots, with each item consuming varying space. Players can run out of inventory space quickly with the number of items that can be collected.
Fortunately, Atomic Heart allows players to increase their inventory space using Neuropolymer. Keeping this in mind, this guide will elaborate on how to increase inventory space using Neuropolymer and provide other helpful tidbits.
How to Increase Inventory Space in Atomic Heart
To increase inventory space in Atomic Heart, follow these simple steps:
- Progress through the main story to unlock character upgrades.
- Access the nearest repair vendor.
- Go to Skills, and select the Character tab.
- Purchase the Extra Capacity Cluster Munitions and Neuro-Compression Tactical Backpack Skills.
Both skill upgrades require 150 Neuropolymer in total. The upgrades will increase the inventory space to 40 slots, which is more than enough space for consumables, long weapons, ammo stacks, and more.
How to get Neuropolymer to Increase Inventory Space
Neuropolymer is essential to Atomic Heart, and players can not have enough. While there is no straightforward way to acquire a considerable amount of Neuropolymer, the following tips are worth looking into:
- Take on white human robots with mustaches. Each destroyed white human robot with mustaches drops 10 Neuropolymer, but they are challenging to take down.
- Upon reaching the Seed Bank and taking the elevator during the mission In Hot Pursuit, the player should find an active flying drone dispenser. Disable the dispenser using a shock attack, causing it to spawn drones. Eliminate the drones using a melee weapon to get one Neuropolymer each. Rinse and repeat.
- Be sure to check every interactive object to find Neuropolymer.
- To get more Neuropolymer, get the Forced Acceleration and Mass Telekinesis skills. Players can also get other modifiers to increase damage. Players should move to the area under the surveillance camera in Testing Ground 1 and wait for enemies to spawn. Players can use the Mass Telekinesis ability to kill enemies instantly and finish the remaining ones using melee attacks. Players must stay in the camera’s line of sight to avoid resetting the robot’s aggression and alert level unless they are overwhelmed.
Atomic Heart is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.
