So, one of the most restricting things I find is the rate of how much scrap you get for playing vs. how much you need to upgrade weapons, mutators, etc. With all that money spent I don’t even have enough left to experiment with different weapons or buy consumables.

How are you handling it, are you also struggling or have here been some strats for getting a couple bucks real quick? :)

    The best thing I’ve found so far is just to run adventures. Once you get a few levels into the archs and start getting a build going you don’t need to upgrade as much allowing you to start saving more. I was able to come out of one up 5000 from when I went in. Ofc results may vary depending on where you are and it may take a surprising amount of time if your build is lacking. I personally have not found any trinkets that increase the amount of scrap you collect but there were a few of those in R1 so it might be worth it to look out for those as well. Another thing: don’t worry about collecting things you already own. Often times when you pick up a ring or something which you already have, it gets converted into scrap.

      Thanks for the tip!

      I started an adventure in the spooky woods (first world) and, like, immediately found an amulet that gives 50% increased scrap and auto loots materials. Running through the whole world net me about 8000 scrap. So, I guess that’s worth it for now :)

        That’ll probably be the way to do it for a while. Tragic just made a post on Reddit about making tweaks and changes to stuff, like scrap and material rewards, so we’ll see what happens

    I like to just join other peoples’ games via Quick Play: the benefit of doing so is that you’re usually directly thrown into a combat situation and get to pretty quickly move through the game.

    Jumping from player to player, usually leaving after a boss, is my preferred way to grind before moving on with the campaign (especially if I’ve just found a new gun and it’s not worth using until I’ve upgraded it).

      I’ve definitely been helped by people joining before and leaving after a how. Thank you for your service and I’m happy to hear that it helps grinding scrap/materials :D

    Get lucky…find Scavenger’s Bauble. Give more scrap. Run adventure mode on survival or vet. The faster you clear the more scrap.
