Common questions

How do I know whether to keep or sell an item in Arc Raiders?

Compare what the item sells for against what it is worth to you as a crafting input or a quest turn-in. Of the 622 items in Arc Raiders, 415 are worth keeping, 99 are better sold to a vendor, and 94 are worth more broken down into materials than sold whole.

What should you never sell in Arc Raiders?

Quest items and the materials your current workshop upgrade needs. Selling a quest item means finding another one, and the vendor price on a common material is almost never worth the raid you spend replacing it.

Is it better to recycle or sell in Arc Raiders?

Recycle when the parts an item breaks into are worth more than its vendor price, which is true for 94 items. Sell when it breaks into common materials you already have stacks of. Weapons and gear are usually worth more recycled than sold.
