How to unlock the Scraptastic achievement in Fallout Shelter - Definitive Guide
After playing for a while, you will have acquired some weapons or outfits that you just don't want anymore. You can either sell them for Caps or scrap them for a chance at crafting items. This achievement is for scrapping, but both functions can be found in the Storage menu.
You can only scrap Weapons and Outfits, you cannot scrap Junk or Pets (you monster). Once highlighting the item you want to scrap, you have two options: sell (the cap with the arrow, option on the left) or scrap (what YOU want, the recycle icon on the right). This will be a button prompt on console, or just a click on PC.
Once scrapped, you have a chance at acquiring crafting materials, located in the Junk file of the Storage menu. You CANNOT scrap items if your storage is full or overfilled, you must sell items or equip them to dwellers before you're able to continue scrapping.
If you want to check your progress, there are counters under the stats page for Weapons Scrapped and Outfits Scrapped. They're located under the "Cumulative Since (Current Date)" header in the Stats page.
In case you're wondering, the first crafting room becomes available at 22 Dwellers, it's the Weapon Crafting room.
When you send dwellers out on quests and exploration, they will usually come back with a lot of junk weapons and armor that you have no intention of putting on your dwellers. When this happens, you can scrap the useless items to get “junk” that can be used to craft more useful items in your workshops. To scrap an item, press and scroll down to the 4th menu option that looks like some boxes, then just find the items that you don’t need, press to select it and to scrap it. Just scrap 500 weapons and armor and this achievement will unlock.
The items that you can scrap are the Weapons and the Outfits. Try to equip your Dwellers with the best ones then scrap the rest. To scrap an item, go to your inventory and press to highlight a weapon/outfit then to scrap it. You can get a lot of items when sending your Dwellers outside, make sure to build a lot of Storage rooms so you can collect them and then scrap the ones that you don't want to use.
Note that it doesn't matter if you don't receive any scrap out of an item, as it will still count.
An item that has not been converted to trash is not considered, you can also look at the statistics.
