You know that moment in ARC Raiders when you've barely made it back alive, then you spend longer staring at your stash than you did fighting. Yeah. Inventory "management" turns into panic-clicking pretty fast. Before you even start sorting, it helps to decide what you're playing for—smooth runs, steady upgrades, fewer headaches—and even skimming Arc Raiders Redeem Codes can remind you that progress isn't only about hoarding every shiny thing you drag out.

1) Sell the stuff that's only pretending to matter

First rule: if it exists just to become cash, it shouldn't live in your stash. Trinkets, novelty collectibles, "cute" items you keep because you might show a mate—sell them right away. Same vibe with most ammo. People stack it like it's gold, then wonder why they've got no room for anything useful. Keep a sensible amount for your next couple raids and ditch the rest. The exception is the annoying-to-replace stuff you actually run often, like specialty rounds for a build you're committed to.

2) Stop collecting guns like you're opening a museum

Weapons are the real space killer. You don't need ten backup rifles "just in case." Pick a small core kit you trust—say three or four primaries you rotate—and one weird pick for niche situations. Everything else should be recycled or sold. If you're sitting on duplicates, break them down and take the components; that's usually more valuable than another dusty gun you'll never queue with. Also, don't let attachments float around loose. If a mod fits a weapon you're keeping, slap it on. It's tidier and it saves slots instantly.

3) Keep materials flexible, not pre-made clutter

A lot of players stockpile crafted items because it feels "ready." Then you look up and half your storage is shields and augments you don't even like using. Hold onto the raw parts instead—processors, batteries, mechanical bits, electrical components. Craft on demand when you're about to deploy. It's faster than you think and it keeps your stash adaptable when your loadout changes. Keys are the awkward one since they don't stack well. If you've got a pile building up, plan a run around using them rather than letting them rot in storage.

4) Consumables, trades, and when to skip the busywork

Consumables should match how you actually play, not what you imagine you'll do in some perfect raid. If you're mostly PvE, you'll burn through healing and utility. If you're hunting players, you'll want your fight-starters and get-out tools. Keep a steady seed stash for daily trades, but don't let it balloon into dead space. And if you're the type who'd rather be topside than sorting menus, it's worth knowing services like eznpc exist for buying game currency or items, so you can focus on runs and upgrades instead of endless stash Tetris.
