Items are classified as objects that can be carried in the inventory or hands and are useful to the player in some manner. In Unturned, some items are needed to address basic needs (e.g. food, water), others are using as weapons, and some are for crafting other items. In the game, an item can only appear in one of 2 ways: By naturally spawning at a location with item spawns, or as a drop from Zombies. You can always tell what type of loot a Zombie will drop based on the clothing it has equipped. (Fireman zombie dropping fire station loot)

Loot Item Types:
- Civilian items - This is the most common type of loot. It is found in civilian locations such as towns. Almost all food items fall into this category, as well as most clothing and some melee weapons. Civilian places are places like Montague, Charlottetown, Stratford, and Alberton.
- Military items - This category includes some of the best weapons such as Military-Grade Firearms, Military-Grade Magazines, Body Armor, and other Military Gear (like Military-Compatibility Attachments, Grips, or Tacticals). The Military Locations are places like Summerside Military Base, Scorpion-7, the Helicopter crash in Montague and Confederation Bridge.

There are different levels of effect and rarity for medical items. This type of item can be found in Pharmacies (like the one in Charlottetown), the Practitioner, the Hospital in Stratford, but also in Scorpion-7 Facility and the Submarine.
- Ranger (Militia) items - This type is different than the military item type. It includes ranger weapons like Snayperskya, Zubeknakov, Matamorez and Nykorev, which uses Ranger Ammunition Boxes.
