Keep, recycle or sell cheat sheet

Every loot item in ARC Raiders with a straight answer: Keep it for an upgrade or project, Recycle it because the materials are worth more, or Sell it because the coins are worth more. 251 items: 94 keep, 78 recycle, 79 sell.

The verdict compares each item's sell price with the coin value of everything it recycles into, then overrides to Keep when a workshop bench or project still asks for it. Type in the filter to find an item fast.

Questions

What should I keep in ARC Raiders? Keep anything a workshop upgrade or project still needs. Right now that is 94 loot items; they are at the top of the table. Recycle or sell them once those upgrades are done.

Should I recycle everything in ARC Raiders? No. Of 251 loot items, 78 are worth more as materials and 79 are worth more as coins. Trinkets in particular should almost always be sold.

Is it better to recycle or sell? Compare the sell price with the coin value of what it recycles into. If the materials are worth more, recycle; if not, sell. This sheet does that math for every item.
