Keep, Use or Extract?

Classify the item by immediate raid value and longer-term progression value.

QuestionDecision signal
Does it keep this run alive?Healing, ammunition and escape utility normally outrank speculative value when extraction is at risk.
Is it needed by an active quest or project?Official events can require successful extraction with relics or direct project contributions.
Does it unlock future crafting?Blueprints and workshop progression can be more valuable than their immediate sale value.
Is the price patch-sensitive?Items such as Deadline, Power Cell and launcher ammo have received official economy changes; verify the live tooltip.
