How to use the dropbox on the ship in Icarus

Icarus is a survival game with a multiplayer aspect. Each player drops down from orbit in a dropship and is tasked with surviving. As they do so, they will explore and craft numerous items to complete their mission. One feature the player may notice is that they can bring back items on their dropship through the dropbox.

To use the dropbox on the dropship in Icarus, players will need to interact with it by pressing F. Once they have done so, an inventory menu will appear and they can drag items to the dropship box to take with them. It seems that only exotics can be brought back though.

This means that most material, items, and gear cannot be taken back with the player. Exotics are rare material so players should prioritize finding it and bringing it back. There are only five slots on the dropship so players shouldn't needlessly collect a huge amount of exotics.

While this is unfortunate for those who want to bring back their equipment, it doesn't take too long to get things rolling once you get on the surface. But you should know how to use the dropbox once you get some exotics.
