In offline multiplayer games any loot on the ground can be picked up by any player so ground some rules of play will need to be set by those who are playing. 'Round robin ' or 'need over greed ' for example or just go for ninja-looting for seat-of-your-pants gaming.

 Items on the ground can be equipped without entering the inventory by using the '''Quick Equip''' feature. Picking up an item will display its details by your heads up display. It will display the name of the item, an icon indicating the slot it would occupy but most importantly whether it is better than the item you currently have equipped by way of up to a maximum of 3 green arrows (1 being slightly better and 3 being significantly better) in three criteria. To indicate an inferior item the arrows will be red down arrows and an item neither better or worse will display minus lines. From here you can either equip or drop it on the ground for someone else to pick up.  Using the D-Pad you can scroll through the last few items picked up in this way too.  Unlike accessing the inventory screen this action will not interrupt game play.  Loot in online multiplayer games is handled as it is with in the PC game. Loot drops for each player and it's only visible to whoever it belongs toand accessing the player's inventory will not interrupt other players' game play.
