Selling vs. Deconstructing Gear

Learn the best strategy for managing your gear in The Division: Resurgence. Decide whether to sell unwanted items for cash or deconstruct them for crafting materials to improve your loadout.

In The Division: Resurgence, managing your inventory is crucial. You'll constantly acquire new gear, and deciding whether to sell it for cash or deconstruct it for crafting materials is a key decision. Both options have their benefits, and the best choice often depends on your current needs and the quality of the gear itself.

Selling Gear:

• Pros: Provides immediate cash, which can be used to purchase items from vendors, upgrade your Base of Operations, or bid on items in certain game modes.
• Cons: You lose the potential crafting materials that could be used to improve your existing gear or craft new, potentially better, items.

Deconstructing Gear:

• Pros: Yields crafting materials (e.g., weapon parts, electronics, fabric) that are essential for upgrading your weapons and armor, recalibrating stats, and crafting new gear at crafting stations.
• Cons: You don't get any immediate monetary gain.

When to Sell:

• Low-quality gear (common or uncommon rarity) that you are unlikely to use or deconstruct for valuable materials.
• When you are in urgent need of cash for a specific purchase.

When to Deconstruct:

• Gear with stats that don't fit your build, but could provide valuable crafting components.
• High-quality gear (rare, exotic) that you don't need, as deconstructing them yields a significant amount of advanced crafting materials.
• When you are actively working on crafting or upgrading specific pieces of gear and need the materials.
