Escape from Tarkov‘s seasonal Documents currency reportedly works like physical raid loot instead of a simple wallet balance. That means every document takes up inventory space, and a screenshot shared by u/Klayments indicates players cannot discard the item after picking it up.
Seasonal Documents [LOOT]

The Documents appear as small book-like items. Their exact value has not been independently confirmed, but the discovery creates an awkward choice during raids: keep collecting the seasonal currency or leave room for weapons, medical supplies, and other loot.
How Seasonal Documents reportedly work
- Documents are physical items that occupy inventory space.
- They cannot be discarded after they are picked up.
- They can fit inside a secure container, contrary to the post’s initial wording.
- They reportedly do not fit inside a SICC case or a Documents case.
That last limitation is especially important for anyone planning to gather several Documents in a single raid. A secure container can protect them, but players using a SICC or Documents case will not be able to store them there based on the current discovery.
The item’s description, shown in the attached in-game screenshot, presents Documents as material containing useful information. The screenshot supports the item’s existence and physical inventory behavior, but it does not confirm whether Battlestate Games plans to change the storage rules or add a separate inventory space for seasonal currency.
For now, players should treat the behavior as an apparent in-game mechanic rather than a confirmed design explanation. Anyone who finds Documents during a raid may want to check their secure container before giving up other loot, while remembering that SICC and Documents cases reportedly cannot hold them.
