ARC Raiders How to Recycle
Recycling in ARC Raiders keeps your stash under control and turns junk into valuable parts. If your inventory’s filling up fast, it’s time to learn when to recycle, sell, or hang onto your loot.
How to Recycle in ARC Raiders
You can recycle straight from your inventory, either in a session or from the main menu. Open your inventory, highlight any item you don’t plan to use, then open the context menu and select Recycle. A preview will show which materials you’ll get, usually stuff like Metal Parts, depending on the item’s rarity and type. Confirm to break it down and clear the slot.
What Recycled Parts Are Used For
The materials you get from recycling are used to craft new weapons, ammo, and armor upgrades. Metal Parts are the main output from common gear like ARC Thermo Linings or basic attachments. Rarer items yield more specialized parts, so always check the preview before you confirm.
Arms and weapon blueprints often require Metal Parts
Ammunition and consumables need a mix of recycled components
Armor pieces use recycled metals and linings
When to Recycle, Sell, or Save
Not every piece of scrap should go through the shredder. Recycling is great when your stash is full of duplicates, low-tier gear, or outdated mods. Selling is smarter when you’re short on credits or the vendor payout beats the part value. Save rare or multi-use items that might show up in quests or future upgrades.
As a general rule, recycle most common items you won’t equip, sell if you need quick currency, and keep a small stash of versatile parts for upgrades later.
Smart Recycling Tips
Always preview the materials before confirming
Keep one of each gear type until you know what’s needed for crafting
Avoid recycling quest items or unique drops
Recycle duplicates first to free space
Sell extras only if your currency is low
Final Blurb
Recycling in ARC Raiders is the easiest way to keep your workshop stocked and your backpack clean. Break down the junk, save the rare stuff, and keep the materials flowing for upgrades that actually matter.
