KF2 Crafting Made Easy: Recycling Items Step by Step

A parody guide from September 2017, written in a joking tone, that still shows the actual recycling flow in Killing Floor 2: you turn spare inventory items into crafting materials. For the serious rules on rarity tiers and trading see item rarity tiers, crafting and trading.

Step 1: pick an item

Open your inventory and select any eligible item.

Inventory with an item selected Select an eligible item.

Step 2: hit recycle

Press the recycle button.

Recycle button The recycle button.

Step 3: confirm

The game asks you to confirm. Press confirm.

Confirmation dialog Confirm the recycle prompt.

Step 4: done

You did it. The guide notes you need only 10 more recycled items before you can craft another one.

Crafting result The result of recycling.

Can you make money off it?

No. The author jokes that you cannot sell those materials for Steam wallet funds because market manipulation is for developers only, and that you can still put them toward crate gambling.

Crate opening Spending the materials on crates.

The guide ends by telling you to get back out and kill some floors, because the material collection will not build itself.
