How to increase your inventory in Valheim
This PC Gamer guide explains how players can expand their limited inventory space in the survival-crafting game Valheim, addressing a common frustration for players trying to gather resources and manage equipment during exploration and building. Inventory management is a persistent challenge in the game, particularly during long expeditions or when hauling ore and building materials back to base, making this practical advice relevant to players at all stages of progression.
The guide sets out the specific in-game methods available for increasing carrying capacity, likely covering craftable items, equipment upgrades or consumables that expand storage, since Valheim does not allow inventory expansion through simple levelling.

Explained simply
Valheim is a survival and crafting game set in a world inspired by Norse mythology. Players explore, gather materials, build settlements and make equipment while facing dangers in different regions.
The character’s inventory has limited space, so players must choose what to carry on expeditions and when collecting materials such as ore. Carrying capacity and inventory space are separate: increasing the weight a character can carry does not necessarily add more inventory slots, so both can affect how much a trip back to base yields.
