Players can find several items during their expeditions ARC Raiders which can be broken down and recycled into parts for crafting or sold for coins that are used to purchase items from merchants. Players will first need to figure out which items should be sold or recycled. So this guide will cover everything from how to recycle and sell items to which items you should prioritize selling/recycling first.
How to sell and recycle items in ARC Raiders
During expeditions, players will salvage various crafting components inside buildings, in abandoned structures, and from downed ARC robots. In addition, players can break some recyclable items to obtain basic crafting components. Although not recyclable, they can also be sold from the inventory menu to get some coins.
This adds immense value to players' time as they roam the wasteland, allowing them to profit from any items they find in one way (recycling) or another (selling). To recycle or sell items ARC Raidersyou will need to open your inventory first. So go to any tab and press one of the following prompts to access the inventory.
-
To access the inventory, press the “TAB” key in the Workshop menu on your keyboard.
-
The “Select or Back” button on the Xbox controller

After selecting an item, press “Right Click” on your mouse or the “Y/Triangle” button on Xbox and PlayStation controllers to open the action menu. From there you can either sell the item for coins or simply recycle it to get parts for crafting.
Which items to sell or recycle first in ARC Raiders
After successfully pulling out of matches, players will secure a lot of items that can quickly fill your stash in ARC Raiders. To avoid spending coins to expand your stash early on, you'll need to clear your inventory by either recycling items or selling them in-game.
Almost all items in ARC Raiders they can either be sold or recycled, making it difficult to determine which one to prioritize first. However, there is a way for players to know which items should be handled in one way or another. Here is the tutorial.
-
For items that should be recycled in ARC Raidersyou will see a “Recyclable” tag when you hover over them. Their description will also just say “This item can be recycled into XYZ (part name for crafting).”
-
For items that should be sold in ARC Raidersyou will see a diamond symbol in their thumbnail and they should have a “Trinket” tag associated with it. Selling them will give you the most coins, allowing you to buy items from merchants.
Some items may still have “can be recycled into components” in their description, but often state that they can be used to craft a specific piece of equipment, tool, or weapon. It's best to carefully sift through your inventory before pulling the trigger on selling or recycling to make sure you don't accidentally get rid of valuable crafting components.
