Convert surplus gear into crafting components

Inventory or stash item management, after collecting eligible weapons or clothing from activities.

Before you go

Have surplus dismantle-eligible gear from jobs, hustles, or airdrops.
Review Iconics, build equipment, and items you may want to sell before processing.
Know the crafting or upgrade component tier you are trying to build up.

Collect equipment during an activity that already serves your job, loot, or exploration goal.
Open inventory or stash item management and review the new items individually.
Keep Iconics, build pieces, and gear whose sale value matters more than its components.
Select an unwanted eligible weapon or item and inspect the displayed dismantle result.
Confirm dismantling to convert that gear into the listed component type.
Repeat only with surplus items that do not serve another purpose.
Open crafting or upgrade menus and use the resulting components on the intended item.

Use the item screen’s displayed return rather than assuming all weapons yield the same tier or amount.
Process loot in batches after activities so you can compare sale value and component needs.

Repeat whenever new surplus gear is collected. Each item is consumed once, and the supply depends on finite or ongoing activity loot.

Dismantling an Iconic or build item by mistake: verify the item identity before confirming.
Dismantling gear that would be more useful sold: compare value against your component goal.
Expecting a fixed return: use the component breakdown shown for each selected item.

Stop dismantling once the relevant component tier reaches your crafting need or when remaining items are more valuable to keep or sell.
