Item recycling plays a essential role in ARC Raiders gameplay. By converting unused gear into crafting components, you gain raw materials to forge new equipment later. For example, discarding an Arc Coolant yields chemical supplies. These resources become vital for creating ammunition or explosive devices, establishing recycling as a core progression system. Below, we outline how to dismantle items effectively.

Recycling Mechanics Explained

Follow this process to break down unwanted gear:

• Open your Inventory menu during matches or at the lobby screen
• Locate expendable items within your Backpack
• Choose the item and navigate to the Dismantle option
• Finalize by confirming the recycling action

Materials obtained through this process enable crafting advanced gear. Since extraction missions yield diverse loot, recycling optimizes resource management by converting surplus items into reusable components.

Rarity determines material yields—higher-tier items provide better components. Strategic players often assess whether to recycle or sell gear based on current objectives. The ongoing playtest offers opportunities to experiment with these mechanics before the full release.
