How to unlock the Scavver achievement in Fallout 4 - Definitive Guide
This seems to unlock if you have 1000 material in your possession, for instance when you scavenge stuff for your base it goes into your workshop. So when you get 1000 material just go into your workshop and take your materials that add up to over 1000.
If you are looking for the fastest way to get 1000, salvage all the trees, those add up to a TON of wood!
EDIT: This video shows how to do it and further confirms this method is in fact valid, props to Reabo for recording it.
Step 1. Enter the console mode (`~ key).
Step 2. Type in coc qasmoke and hit Enter to transport to the developers room.
Step 3. Move over to the footlockers on the tables next to the workbenches.
Step 4. Transfer the contents of each footlocker into your inventory by hitting "R" and "R" again (to transfer all).
Achievement should pop after the third or fourth footlocker (mine popped after the fourth).
- Goto Xbox Settings.
- Goto Network > Advanced Settings.
- Select "Alternate MAC address".
- Select "Clear".
Note: There is an auto-save just before exiting vault 111 for the first time, use that save as you'll (probably) not have 1000 junk collected at that point unless you're using mods (which stops achievements on Xbox).
Building a scavenging workbench early and then cleaning house and recycling everything you can in your settlements will also help you get there.
When you are in a settlement, hold down the to enter build mode (or which ever button you've assigned it to). Once in build mode you can scrap objects and these break down into resources so this trophy is guaranteed to unlock just by playing the game. You can also bring items to settlements, drop them on the floor then break them down. Pretty much anything can be broken down in the game and provide resources.
Resources used for crafting are what most see as common junk. If you continuously pick things up and put them in your workshops throughout your settlements hitting 1,000 total will not be a hard task. To make it even easier, you do not have to even put the junk in your workshop as the counter increases each time you come into possession of any junk.
