Breaking down extra gear you no longer need is a great way to gather materials for upgrades in Avowed. It’s a simple process that can be done from the inventory menu. Here’s a quick guide to show you how on both PC and Xbox.

Steps to Break Down Equipment:

  1. Find Unwanted Gear

    • Look for armor or weapons that you don’t need or plan to use. You can break these down for materials to upgrade your better equipment.

  2. Open Your Inventory

    • Pause the game and navigate to your Inventory menu to see all your items.

  3. Select the Item to Break Down

    • Highlight the armor or weapon you want to break down. Check its description to see which materials it will give you when broken down.

  4. Break It Down

    • Hold X on console or R on PC to break the item down into its materials.

Additional Tips:

  • Upgraded Gear: If you break down a piece of upgraded gear, you will get most of the materials back, though not all of them.

  • Don’t Sell Excess Gear: It’s often better to break down excess gear instead of selling it for a small amount of gold.

Breaking down unwanted gear is a solid way to gather materials for upgrading your best items. Now, go explore and have fun!
