ARC Raiders Item Management Guide: Keep, Sell, or Recycle
The table mentioned above gives you a general idea about what materials you need to keep, sell, or recycle once you bring them in from the topside. For most items, if you have them in excess or your stash is almost full, then the ideal option would be to sell unless you need it for a certain quest.
If you are Topside for at least 1 minute, Scrappy will accumulate Metal Parts, Fabric, Plastic Parts, Chemicals, Rubber Parts, and Assorted Seeds based on time spent and whether you successfully extract. He does not work while you are offline or hanging out in Speranza. So, remember to use Scrappy for accumulating basic materials and seeds strategically which will allow you to bring in more expensive and rare items to Speranza.
An important tip for maintaining space in your inventory is by not hoarding up on locked door keys and keeping ammo in your stash. As soon as you get a key during a round, try to use it in your next round, because these keys do not stack unlike other items. Additionally, try to craft bullets before you deploy so your stash has some free space which can remain occupied if you store too much ammo.
