A recycler takes one at a time.

Figures are for one item in perfect condition. Each recycler’s name opens its full table at this item. “7 + 50%” means 7 every time and a 50% chance of one more.

3 items give back Burst Module in a recycler

Item	Red recycler	Green recycler (powered)	Green recycler	Yellow recycler
LR-300 Assault Rifle	1 + 50%	1 + 20%	1	80%
M16A2	1 + 50%	1 + 20%	1	80%
Prototype 17	1 + 50%	1 + 20%	1	80%

What one of each item gives back in Burst Module, in perfect condition, most first by the green recycler’s figure. “1 + 50%” means 1 every time and a 50% chance of one more, and a percentage alone is the chance of getting one.
