What is the Air Freshener?

The Air Freshener is classified as a Trinket in the game. It is an Uncommon item and can usually be found in Mechanical areas during scavenging. In terms of gameplay, it’s lightweight (0.3 weight) and stacks up to 5, which makes it easy to carry if you pick a few up while clearing missions. Its in-game quote, “May be worth a few coins,” hints at its primary use: selling for extra currency rather than any combat advantage.

In practice, Air Fresheners don’t provide buffs or affect gameplay mechanics directly. They’re purely an economy item, so your decision to keep them should be based on whether you want to invest inventory space for a small but reliable coin gain.

Where Can You Get Air Fresheners?

Most players encounter Air Fresheners during scavenging runs, particularly in areas labeled as Mechanical. These are the parts of the map where machinery, broken vehicles, or robot enemies tend to spawn. If you’re running through these zones, check every crate, locker, or dropped loot; Air Fresheners have a decent spawn chance in these spots.

Another practical tip is to focus on repeatable scavenging areas. Players who cycle through the same Mechanical zone multiple times often accumulate several Air Fresheners without actively farming specifically for them. This is usually the most efficient method if you’re just looking to sell them later.

How Much Can You Sell Air Fresheners For?

The sell price of a single Air Freshener is 2,000 coins. With a maximum stack size of 5, that means a full stack can net you 10,000 coins. While this isn’t game-breaking money, it’s enough to fund small upgrades, crafting materials, or ammo purchases.

In practice, most players don’t carry huge stacks in inventory. You’ll typically sell in increments of 2–3 items at a time, depending on what else you’re carrying. For players who have limited inventory slots during intense runs, this is a convenient way to offload low-priority items while still earning currency.

Should You Sell or Keep Air Fresheners?

This is where player behavior varies. The general consensus among experienced raiders is:

• Sell if you’re low on coins or need space. Air Fresheners are easy to replace, so keeping a few for sentimental reasons or collection purposes isn’t necessary.

• Keep if you like displaying rare or uncommon items in the Raider Den. Some players enjoy the cosmetic aspect of stacking Trinkets as part of their base decoration.

Personally, I tend to sell most Air Fresheners as soon as I hit 2–3 stacks. That keeps my inventory clean while providing a steady trickle of coins without impacting gameplay.

How Are Air Fresheners Used in Crafting?

Even though the Air Freshener is primarily a sellable item, it does have a role in crafting. For example:

• You can combine 1 Air Freshener with 1 Fireball Burner in your inventory if you have the In-Round Crafting skill.

• The result of this combination is a Flame Spray, which can be useful in certain combat situations.

Knowing this, some players choose to save a few Air Fresheners for crafting rather than selling all of them. However, in most casual runs, it’s more economical to sell and then buy any extra crafting ingredients later.

If you are interested in acquiring these kinds of items more efficiently, you can also buy arc raiders blueprints from U4N, which gives access to rare or useful crafting materials without relying solely on random scavenging drops.

Tips for Maximizing Coin Gains with Air Fresheners

1. Stack efficiently: Since they stack up to 5, try to always sell full stacks when visiting vendors. This saves time and inventory space.

2. Prioritize Mechanical zones: These areas yield the most Air Fresheners, so focus scavenging here if your goal is to accumulate coins quickly.

3. Plan around crafting needs: Only hold onto enough Air Fresheners if you intend to craft Flame Sprays. Otherwise, selling immediately is safer.

4. Balance inventory load: Carrying too many low-value items like Air Fresheners during combat-heavy missions can slow you down. Keep a few, sell the rest.

Common Player Questions

Q: Are Air Fresheners worth farming? A: Only if you are in a Mechanical zone and want easy coins. They aren’t rare, so intensive farming isn’t necessary.

Q: Can Air Fresheners be traded or used for higher-tier items? A: Not directly. Their main use is selling or crafting specific items like Flame Spray. However, selling them helps fund other resource-intensive upgrades.

Q: Do they drop from enemies or only from crates? A: Mostly from scavenging containers in Mechanical zones. Occasionally, enemy drops may include them, but that’s less consistent.

Q: Do they have a use in endgame content? A: Not in combat. Their value is purely economic or for light crafting.

Air Fresheners in Arc Raiders are simple but useful items. They are easy to find, light to carry, and sell for a modest coin amount, making them a staple for players looking to maintain steady in-game currency. While they have some crafting utility, most players focus on selling them efficiently. By prioritizing Mechanical zones, stacking properly, and deciding whether to keep a few for crafting, you can make the most of every Air Freshener you find.

Overall, they’re not a game-changer, but they are a small and reliable way to supplement your coin income without interrupting your primary objectives.
