You pop out of a rough ARC Raiders run, adrenaline still buzzing, and then the stash screen hits you like a second ambush. Full again. If you want to stay raid-ready, you've gotta treat your stash like a loadout bench, not a museum—and if you're ever comparing prices or figuring out what's actually worth keeping, the Arc Raiders items market can help you get a feel for what's hot versus what's just taking up space.

Cut the clutter fast

First habit: do a quick purge the moment you get back. Don't "think about it later," because later turns into 40 minutes of inventory Tetris. Dump duplicate blueprints you'll never touch, novelty collectibles, and extra stacks of basic ammo. Yeah, it feels nice having a mountain of rounds, but light ammo is cheap and everywhere. Same with backup guns. Keeping ten assault rifles "just in case" is how your stash dies. Pick a small rotation you actually run—maybe three core weapons and one weird pick for specific maps—and recycle the rest. Breaking down mid-tier guns is often the easiest way to keep advanced mechanical parts flowing, and those parts matter more than a rifle that's been collecting dust for a week.

Attachments belong on guns

Loose mods are stash poison. They spread out, eat slots, and make everything harder to read at a glance. If you've got attachments sitting in the grid, just slap them onto something, even if that weapon isn't coming with you next raid. You're not marrying the gun, you're storing the parts. It also makes pre-raid prep faster because you can grab a weapon and know it's already built out. One more thing: don't hoard finished augments and shields like they're rare antiques. You'll get way more flexibility keeping the ingredients and crafting what you need right before deployment, based on what your squad's running and what you're expecting to fight.

Prioritise the materials that actually move your progress

Some materials are "always yes." Gun parts, batteries, springs, mod components—those get used constantly, so they earn their slots. Other stuff is only valuable if you're actively building a specific item. If you're not on that craft path right now, sell it. Big, niche components can sit there for days doing nothing except blocking your next haul. Keys are another trap since they don't stack. If you've got a pile of them, start spending them. A key sitting in storage is just a promise; a key used is real loot, real upgrades, real progress.

Keep a lean buffer and know when to top up

A small cushion of trade currency is smart—enough to grab essentials and not feel broke after a bad streak—but going overboard just turns into dead weight. Aim for a comfortable range, spend it when you need to, and don't let "saving" become "stalling." If you're short on time and you'd rather be running raids than grinding basics, some players use eznpc to buy game currency or items so their stash stays focused on the gear they actually plan to take out, not a heap of filler.
