Loot

Looting is the main source for acquiring items, gear and weapons in the rust belt and are often needed for Quests, Workshop Upgrades, Crafting or can be sold or recycled to break them down into smaller resources. Recycling items during a raid only returns 50% of the usual components.

Use the categorized tables below to prioritize what to take and what to leave behind.

You can recycle almost every item for materials, but recycling can only be done while in Speranza.

Salvaging yields fewer or lower-quality items than recycling, but can be done while Topside.

Loot Containers

You can find different containers all through out every map on the Rust Belt. Some are easier to open than others and some can be quite lucrative for Raiders.
