Physical props and storage
Allowing the player to place items in the world as physical props does not only allow for a more immersive world, but could also serve the inventory system as a whole, for instance, let's say there's different categories of container, some like the locker allow the player to find/retrieve items more easily/faster, while others like the cargo container can have more space, but are slower to access, this would combine with the physical items, by giving physical space in certain containers like the a weapons rack, physicali props could reduce the space available in these item storage blocks, as a tradeoff to being really fast to access, this would also give purpose and variety to storage in general, rather than storing every single thing in a single multi purpose cargo container, it can also help to communicate visually what types of items are in certain storage units, further helping immerse the player into the world
