Dismantle question

[マルコ]

I've maxed the Augment you need to Dismantle.

So, if I pick a shotgun, dismantle it (50 parts) then pick a second shotgun, dismantle it, I end up with 100 parts.

If instead of that I pick a shotgun, keep it, then pick another shotgun, it disappear and I only acquire the ammo. Then, if I dismantle the shotgun I had in inventory, I end up with only 50 parts.

Which means you have to manually dismantle 1 by 1 every time you pick up something to obtain as much Parts as possible, this is absurd...

Am I missing something here?

no, that's exactly how it works

that aside, isn't this extremely broken?
Just by dismantling three shotguns I have enough to craft 2 Biocells...
Essentially this is like playing with infinite energy.

Did anyone tested any of this?!

The same quirky behavior applies to selling weapons as well. If you sell them one at a time, you can earn a lot of money but the weapon disappears if you try to pick up a second one. It's definitely an odd mechanic but I think the bottom line is that money and parts are so abundant in the game that it doesn't really matter. There's no real reason to try and optimize this.

There's an augment that lets you dismantle?

Breaking down a stack of 200 ammo likewise yields the same amount of materials as breaking down a stack with 1 ammo.
