Loot SMARTER or LOSE EVERYTHING! 👇
As ARC Raiders barrels into 2026 with over 12 million copies sold and Steam peaks humiliating Battlefield 6, one persistent gripe has plagued even hardened Raiders: stash overflow. After just a few raids, players’ home bases brim with guns, keys, and crafting mats, turning post-extract bliss into tedious Tetris. Enter YouTuber Millzaa’s “The ONLY Stash Management Guide You Need in ARC Raiders (Updated),” uploaded January 11 and already closing in on 30,000 views with 654 likes. The 20-minute deep dive, demonstrated via real-time post-raid sorts, claims to deliver “the only guide you’ll ever need,” breaking down keep/sell/recycle rules to reclaim 10-15 free slots – a godsend as today’s Cold Snap finale ushers in the poison-choked Toxic Swamp event.
Launched October 30, 2025, by Stockholm’s Embark Studios, ARC Raiders thrives on its $40 buy-to-play purity – no battle passes, seamless Unreal Engine 5 action, and PvPvE raids on robot-wasted Speranza. Raiders scavenge amid Leapers and Matriarchs, dodging optional player ambushes to extract via choppers or hatches. But progression demands Workshop upgrades, Expedition Projects (wiped millions last December), and Trials – all guzzling stash space. Reddit’s r/ArcRaiders, now 50K+ strong, brims with “stash paralysis” pleas: Newbies hoard everything after 10 runs; vets lament keys stacking to 20+.
Millzaa, a PvE-focused vet with 700+ hours, kicks off (0:34) sorting a bloated extract: Sell duplicate blueprints, trinkets like snow globes/rubber ducks (unless sentimental), and partial ammo stacks (e.g., 40 bullets – “craft on demand”). Keep batteries/springs (topside rarities), processors/gun parts for repairs. Recycle extra guns (e.g., duplicate Torrientes) into advanced mechanical components – fueling blue weapon upgrades like Renegade/Tempest to level 4.
Augments get ruthless (4:12): Hoard 30 processors/20 advanced electrical components (versatile for pink MK3 Survivor Looting); craft finished ones at level 3 Workbench – no stacks bloating space. Shields (5:46): Zero to three mediums (craft via arc circuitry + batteries; recycle broken ones). “Never repair – always recraft,” Millzaa insists, as trader Lance sells lights cheap.
Weapons cap at 3-4 per meta pick (6:47): Renegades, Trentis, Ventors, Anvils, El Toros, Volcanoes – recycle Osprey (PvE dud). Ammo? Sell light/medium/heavy; stock launcher/energy sparingly. Mods/attachments (8:51): Equip immediately on stored guns – “frees slots instantly.” Quick-use caps: 1-2 snap hooks/wolf packs, 1 photoelectric cloak, smoke/tag grenade stacks, 3-4 deadlines/jolt mines, 4-5 bigger grenades, minimal defibs/VA shots.
Keys max 9-11 (15:34) – burn excess in raids. Materials pinnacle (16:00): 30-40 advanced mechanicals, 30-60 gun parts, 20 mod components, 60 arc alloy, 2-3 battery stacks, 500 seeds (Celeste trades for mats). Recycle niche like Matriarch reactors (sell unless Aelion crafting). Basics? Two rows metal/plastic/rubber – Scrappy refills post-raid.

Comments erupt: “From full to 20 slots – game changer” (praise for depth); PvP tweaks urged (more defibs/mines); seeds underrated for 1:1 mat swaps. One gripes overshordering guns; another pushes power cell rechargers.
Echoes abound. GGWTB’s stage-specific bible mirrors: Early – sell fluff, cap basics; Mid – bottleneck processors/mod components; End – 10-15 flex slots via on-demand crafting. Kotaku’s hoarder sheet: Merge stacks (magic button!), recycle junk like radios/lenses per pRoDeeD’s PDF. PC Gamer preaches bravery: Ditch epic gear – “use it or lose it.” Reddit vets: 2-3 basic mat stacks, Arctracker.io for quest checks; craft guns via parts/seeds.
X chatter amplifies: @mathdroid’s AI-scraped app cross-references quests; @ArcRaiderAlerts’ keep/scrap lists (V3: Quest items, Workbench guides). Steam/Threads guides hit 5M Expedition value pre-wipe via coins/mats. Neon Lights: Recycle ruined vests/shields for fabric/plastic.
Patch 1.7.3 (today) nerfs Kettle/Trigger, bolsters anti-cheat – but stash untouched at 296 slots (upgradable). Aggression matchmaking aids pacifists, yet PvP rats demand smokes/mines. Toxic Swamp (Jan 20 post-Cold Snap): Poison fog favors purifiers, thermal rocks – hoard arc alloy/batteries? Roadmap whispers self-revives, flying ARCs; FPP patch/endgame leaks (Bishops/Kings) fuel hype.
Critics? UI “Tetris” (Cliff Bleszinski); companion app pleas. Embark silent – focus patches, not expansions. CEO Söderlund’s PvE core shines: “Respects time,” unlike Tarkov slogs.
Millzaa’s manifesto arrives timely: As Swamp poisons, clean stashes extract kings. Players adapt – or drown in junk. In Speranza, space is survival.
