Managing your inventory in Apex Legends is important because backpack space is limited. Knowing what to carry and what to drop can ensure you always have enough ammo, healing items, and grenades when a fight starts.
Carry More Ammo for Your Primary Weapon

Carry more ammo for your primary weapon, as this is the weapon you will use the most. Many fights begin at mid-to-long range, where players can go through several magazines before closing the distance.
Make sure you have enough ammo for your secondary weapon, but prioritize the gun you rely on most.
Check Your Backpack
Check which backpack you have and decide what you need based on the amount of space available.
A larger backpack lets you carry more ammo, healing items, and grenades. With limited space, prioritize the items you are most likely to use.
Always Carry a Grenade

Try to keep at least one grenade in your inventory. Grenades are useful in different scenarios, such as forcing enemies out of cover or stopping them from holding a strong position.
Don't Carry Too Many Syringes
You don't need to fill your inventory with syringes. In many situations, using a Med Kit can restore your health to full, making it more efficient when backpack space is limited.
Prioritize Shield Items

Prioritize shield items over health items when managing your inventory. Shields are your first line of defense against incoming damage, so keeping them charged is important during fights.
Carry enough Shield Cells and Shield Batteries to restore your shields between engagements.
Drop Unused Attachments
Don't carry attachments for weapons you aren't using. They take up valuable backpack space that could be used for ammo, grenades, or healing items.
Whenever you change weapons, check your inventory and drop any attachments that are no longer useful.
Final Tip
The best Apex Legends inventory isn't the one filled with the most items. Prioritize ammo for your primary weapon, shields, grenades, and essential healing items, while dropping anything you don't need.
