ARC Raiders List of Items That Can and Shouldn’t Be Recycled
It’s been a week since ARC Raiders released, and the community is already working through everything it has to offer. Though if you’re like me, you’re probably taking your sweet time on topside, scavenging everything you come across and doing everything you can to extract safely. That’s all fun and all, but it does come with the problem of your inventory constantly being full. To make things even more confusing, there are numerous types of items that can be found; you never know what’s safe to recycle.
Thankfully, there are members in the community who are doing all they can to help others. One has begun gathering a list of items that can safely be recycled, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally getting rid of something that might be used for a quest later.
ARC Raiders Items That Can Be Recycled Safely
As posted by ARC Raiders’ reddit user, Xi4, down below is a list of items that you can safely recycle, with another list of items that you should be keeping for quests.
Do note that this list does not include all items, such as those that can only be sold. This only covers items that can be recycled, so things such as a Cat Bed, Apricorn, and other resources won’t appear here, even though they’re required to upgrade Scrappy. Bench items won’t be on this list either. Those items are generally rare to find, so you’ll know when you need them when the time comes, as the requirements are usually displayed, and you can track those resources, so you know not to recycle them.
If you prefer more of a visual presentation, community member pRoDeeD compiled the list into an image, with icons for each item. You can find that here: Quick-glance Recycling Guide — What to Keep vs. Safely Recycle (with quest uses)

Massive shoutout to both Xi4 and pRoDeeD for compiling the list. No doubt, this will be very useful for many out there. I know it certainly cleared up my inventory space a bit, which is always a good thing considering how little space you start out with.
ARC Raiders is now available to purchase worldwide on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For those wondering what’s next for the game, Embark recently revealed the complete roadmap for the rest of the year, with new content arriving this month.
There was also an update released today that applied a bunch of fixes to the extraction shooter.
