Does scrap recovery arm stack?
As the title said, wonder if two Scrap recovery arm gives 10 % x2 or just the regular 10%.

According to the wiki, it does stack.

having two scrap recovery arms early, you got extremely lucky. the further you get, the less useful they are because by s6 or s7 you need to have the augment slots filled with something useful, or you're going to have a bad time.

I`d say that`s exactly the opposite of reality. SRAs get better as scrap rewards increase.

They`re useless in the flagship fight of course, but considering I`ve won without pretty much anything aside from "guns, shields, engines", that isn`t such a big deal when you`re geared amazingly from all the scrap you`ve gotten.

well, okay, they do increase your rewards, but also your risk since you dont have useful augments in their place.

No, you have massively powerful shields, weapons and engines instead. All the augs in the galaxy can`t make a piddly little torpedo boat playing at being a cruiser into a massive engine of destruction that qualifies as a cruiser only due to its relative size.

Besides, you have three slots. It`s extremely unlikely that you`ll manage to fill them all with something well suited to your setup.

i think all upgrades stack, but i could be wrong about one or two of them, and some ofcourse, have no use to stack, but the reload ones and such, they stack.
Never fear, the Scrap Recovery Arms are stackable and can grant a 30% boost to all scrap intake

Pretty sure that the game recognizes which augments stack and will scrap any extras you find that don't.

So, if you can equip two of them, then they should stack.

Answer: Yes they stack.

I just did it, infact i got THREE at once and the Crystal Pod Quest all at the beginning of the game! Had to make a tough decision to let go of the Pod quest chain in order to have 3 arms and finally beat the Final Boss.

I play with 2 if I get the chance. 20% extra scrap goes a long way. But it's kinda useless by the end so you might consider swapping them just before the final area if there's a shop.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
