How It Works
Damaged weapons in Arc Raiders can either be sold directly to vendors or recycled for parts. This calculator helps you make the most profitable decision based on your weapon's current durability.
Value Calculations:
- Direct Sell: Based on weapon quality and remaining durability
- Recycle Value: Fixed based on parts obtained from recycling
General Guidelines:
- Low durability weapons are better recycled for parts
- High durability weapons should be sold directly to vendors
- Purple weapons vary by type (Bobcat, Tempest, Vulcano)
- Each quality tier has a specific durability threshold
