Step 1 - Data Table

Step 2 - World Item
Place an Item (BP_WorldItem or BP_WorldItem_Static) in the map and set the ID to the created Item Row.
- BP_WorldItem ⇒ Used mainly for dynamic items that have physics (Spawned when dropping items from the inventory)
- BP_WorldItem_Static ⇒ Used mainly for placement of items that dont have physics.
Make sure you set the item amount. If the Amount is 0, the item will be destroyed but nothing will be added to the inventory!
