Should You Disassemble Items in Atomic Heart? – What to Get Rid Of

Time to break things down

Ah yes, inventory management is sometimes the bane of a gamer’s adventuring. Some like the tedious choice making of course. Other gamers just want to run and gun free of incumbrance. For Atomic Heart, the game really doesn’t tell you when or how you should take care of your inventory. You just kind of figure it out as you go along. This is mostly not a problem, but let’s talk about some of the things the game doesn’t tell you. Should you disassemble items in Atomic Heart? Here’s how and what you should focus on and what to get rid of.

Items to Disassemble in Atomic Heart

The first piece of advice to give is to be patient and wait a bit till you’re deeper into the game to start disassembling items. Let your storage build and also expand your inventory as well. After you’ve left the facility which is like the first level of the game, you’ve probably gotten used to the game mechanics and weapons system enough to start tinkering more.

Disassembling items and weapons give you full materials back. That’s right, you lose nothing disassembling and reassembling items and weapons. You take away the same amount you put in. This allows such a free range of making exactly what you want in your arsenal.

This basically means you disassemble all the weapons you don’t like and the ammo you’ll never use. It’s a pretty good waste-not-want-not system. So don’t be afraid to get rid of everything you don’t like so you can build up the right amount of ammo and healing items you need.

What Happens to Diassembled Upgrades

Also, this means feel free to experiment with which weapons you like the most. Even better, the upgrades don’t go away when you reassemble a previously disassembled weapon. As soon as you get a new blueprint to make a new weapon, go try it out, might be better than the last one you had. This lack of consequences in tinkering really helps you build your favorite weapons setup.
