PSA: New Players, Stop Salvaging These Items In ARC Raiders

When playing ARC Raiders for the first time, it can be overwhelming to navigate the insane amount of loot and items you can find during raids. Even after a while, you still have that fear of salvaging or recycling an item that you may need later. That's why it's important to have guides like these to warn players not to salvage some of the items they find topside.

There are two groups of items you shouldn't salvage when you come across them during raids. The first group is the items that will become useful later and stay useful. The other group is the items you might only need once or twice, but they still matter when the moment comes.
