Given how complex the Escape from Tarkov control scheme can be, it’s no surprise that some players couldn’t figure out how to rotate items. And, unlike many other inventory functions, item rotation doesn’t appear in any drop-down menu. Thankfully, the solution is simple once you know the trick.
Toward the notion of proper inventory management, there’s another beginner’s tip that can help you save on stash space: Folding stocks. Some (but not all) guns have stocks that can be folded back, allowing them to take up less space in your inventory. To fold the stock on a weapon in your inventory, right-click on the item, then use the Fold command. Alternatively, if you already have the weapon equipped, this can be done by pressing Alt + L.
Learning how to rotate items in Escape from Tarkov is a key part of inventory management. Folding stocks, removing magazines, and dismantling weapon grips will go a long way in helping keep your stash neat and tidy. Still, knowing how to rotate items will always be essential. As luck would have it, it’s as simple as pressing the R key on your keyboard.
