Recycle clothes and weapons?

[crash52]

I have seen comments in the discussions where players talk about recycling old clothes and weapons. Can someone tell me how? My primary reason is I have a survivor with clothing item 'in the red' (close to being useless) so I have them go swap it out for new. Well the ratty old piece stays in there to be picked up by someone else. How do I get rid of the old clothes without making survivor wear it until it falls apart?

when this broken item is in storage, you can rightklick it for "dismantle"

OK, I don't wanna sound dumb here, but that's kinda what I thought, my problem is how/where are you 'looking at it in storage'?

under "storage" there are "wardropes" only for clothes an weapons.
build one of that and your toons will put their clothes and weapons in there.

Hi,
I'm just new to the game. Can we also recycle clothes that are NEARLY destroyed, say...2% ?
The answer above seems to suggest that only 0% (Broken status) are elligible.
It's a noob question but as I didn't tested yet....

Yes

In fact at 0% item simply disappear so you HAVE to do it at very low condition.

Also one tip to weapons (at least those based on electronic parts) - keep them stored out and equip only for attack waves so their condtion dont degrade passively for no reason. It is difference if eg. starting laser pistol disapear in 2nd year or if you can have it for use over many years and likely till end of game. Another option is deconstruct and rebuild them in time jsut be aware it need working electricity and adequate workbench and skileld crafter (+crafting time)

the loot they give out when recycled is lower than what they give at full durability, and since the clothes or armor or weapons do not lose any stats when degraded it makes sense to just use them as much as you can to save crafting time.
In guardians a good strategy would be to dismantle the higher durability weapons for the extra resources and keep lower durability ones to use them.
