Scrap in the hunt
A salvage-side resource that turns unwanted gear into progress toward the next repair, craft, or upgrade.
- When a basic replacement, repair, or low-tier craft is the next camp decision.
- Set one spending target before farming.
- Keep replacement funds separate from luxury upgrades.
Give the run an economy goal / route timing
Collect it during every safe outer loop and let volume accumulate without risking a central fight.
- Beginner Guide and Loot and Farming establish the repeatable early economy.
- Common scrap should not be farmed through a route that costs a full kit on failure.
- Compare Scrap with the alternatives before spending a rare material.
Keep, replace, or skip
Keep Scrap when it makes the next route decision clearer. Replace it when another option solves the same problem with less risk, cost, or setup.
- Open the related class, build, or map before the next hunt.
- Test the choice on the route where it is meant to work.
- Save the working direction in the Build Planner or field library.
