How the verdicts work

An item is KEEP while any workshop upgrade level you haven't ticked (or any unfinished quest) still needs it. Once nothing needs it, it falls back to its best disposition: recycle it for materials, or sell it if that's strictly better. Progress is saved in your browser — no account needed.

FAQ

Which items should I never recycle in ARC Raiders?

Anything still required by a workshop upgrade level you haven't completed, or by an active quest. The checker tracks 347 items against every station level and quest turn-in — if the badge says KEEP, hold onto it.

Is it better to sell or recycle items?

Once nothing needs an item, recycling is usually right for material-bearing items, while high-value ARC parts with poor recycle yields are better sold. The verdict badge already picks the better option for each item.

Does the tool know my personal progress?

Yes — tick your completed workshop levels and quests and every verdict recalculates instantly. Progress is stored in your browser only; no account or upload involved.

Is this tool free?

Completely free, no sign-up, no paywall. It's built by the AstroBoost team alongside our boosting services.

Grinding for upgrade materials the hard way?

Our ARC Raiders pros can farm materials, complete quests, and push your workshop to max level while you keep your loot. Fast, safe, and hands-off.
