You can find many items in Arc Raiders that are useful for surviving the harsh wasteland and battling roaming mechanical enemies. From weapons and shields to medical supplies, you’ll need a variety of materials to advance in the game and expand your vault.
However, not all items are worth keeping. Many can be sold or recycled to free up space. For newcomers or players who pick up everything, figuring out what to recycle can be confusing. Here’s a complete guide listing all the safe items to recycle in Arc Raiders to help manage your inventory better.
### All Materials You Can Safely Recycle
In terms of materials, you have the option to recycle items that aren’t considered valuable. Most of these items are either meant to be sold or displayed in your Raider hideout. Some materials in the game are intended for crafting, or they can be recycled for parts, or sometimes both.

Remember, this list might change with new game updates or additional missions. Many of these items are unused now but could have future uses beyond just crafting materials.
Always recycle materials when you’re done with a raid unless you really need to craft meds or utility items right away. Recycling often gives you more materials than scavenging, so it’s usually better to break things down. If you’re low on cash, these recyclable items can also be sold. While they won’t sell for as much as valuables, they can help boost your funds if you’re struggling to make ends meet.
