Stop Wasting Inventory Space!
Managing your inventory in ARC Raiders is tough – especially since Update 1.7.0 "Cold Snap". You constantly have to decide: Do I Keep, Sell, or Recycle this item?
Making the wrong choice can cost you hours of progress.
Here is a quick guide to help you decide instantly, based on examples from our Online Tool.

🆕 NEW FEATURE: Dynamic Quest & Project Tracking
Static lists are helpful, but they don't know your specific progress.
We have upgraded the Tracker to include Active State Management.
💾 Progress Saved: Your selection is saved automatically in your browser. You don't need to re-select your active quests every time you open the tool!
Simply uncheck quests you have already completed (like "Snap And Salvage").
For major projects like Expedition and the new Winter Event "Flickering Flames", the tool tracks every single stage. Select exactly which stage you are currently on to see only the items needed right now.

Precise tracking: Select your current stage for Expedition or Flickering Flames.
Here is why this is powerful. Let's look at a Flow Controller.
If you still have the quest "Snap And Salvage" active, the tool warns you:

⚠️ STATUS: KEEP - Detailed info shows "Needed for: Snap And Salvage".
But the moment you mark "Snap And Salvage" as ☑️ DONE in the filter menu, the tool instantly updates. You don't need to refresh.

♻️ STATUS: RECYCLE - The quest is done, so this item is now safe to recycle for materials!
