How to unlock the Scrap Collector achievement in Mad Max - Definitive Guide
Update
Scrapulances give you 500 scrap once returnong to a stronghold, there are 2 camps I know of that have them at the entrance. Otherwise, they appear randomly on the road and even less frequently once all strongholds are at 0 threat.
You will receive 740 scrap periodically once you clear all camps.
You can also farm scrap by doing death runs if you have cleanup crew project done for the stronghold surrounding it. Just thunderpoon all the vehicles then when done get out your vehicle, race will fail, then retry. You won't get Mich scrap though (30-40)
I first started getting 5,000 scrap first then using it all to upgrade all needed stats for max and Magnus opus.
You will want to allocate wisely based on the first two territories(Gutgash and Jeet) so you don't need to buy everything just buy what you need.
Here is how you will get 500-600 every 30 minutes after finishing.
Cleanup crew and scrap collection is the first two projects you will want to build in Jeet and Gutgash strongholds, this will provide you with scrap for every enemy or scarecrow you take out in these territories instead of getting out of your vehicle to pick them up.
Upgrade your Griffa ability 'Volition' as much as you can this will greatly increase your scrap intake every time you pickup scrap, fully maxed you can get 10-15 per some pickups.
Now, start to dismantle every Scotus camp that you see in these territories. These camps will be your primary source of major income once you dismantle them.
Once you do all this you can progress regularly throughout the game and get 500-600 scrap every 25-30 mins plus all the scrap at every scavenging location.
One thing I rarely utilized was returning enemy vehichles to strongholds for scraps so I'm not sure how much you will be compensated for that.
Every scrapubulance that you see attack.
Every storm you are in the middle try to get as much muthaloot as possible, there's up to 300 scrap in each crate(50 plus another 50 if your volition is maxed out.
Look for locations with scrap pallets, they can give you up to 50 scrap per pallet.
Every enemy you kill loot them if possible.
Any other tips feel free to comment and I'll add.
This trophy requires you to have 10,000 scrap in your inventory. While this may initially seem like an huge amount, you will find it that as you progress through the game, especially as you clean up post-story, you will end up with more than enough scrap to unlock this trophy along with Just Rewards. Both will come over time so there is no need to go out of your way to accumulate sufficient scrap early in the game.
As specified in the achievement description, this achievement is not cumulative. You must have a total of 10,000 scrap in your inventory at once to unlock this achievement.
In order to buy everything required to unlock all other achievements in the game, you'll likely be earning in the neighborhood of 100,000 scrap across the entire game. While it may be tempting to get this out of the way early by stockpiling in the beginning of the game, I would highly caution against this. The bigger fights against many enemies on foot or in vehicles will be far more difficult and frustrating without spending scrap on the many available upgrades. So instead, I recommend waiting until you've fully upgraded Max and gotten a bunch of helpful car upgrades before you start stockpiling scrap. A good time to do it is when you're clearing out all the camps and threat on the map during the mop up portion of the game. The scrap will come quick during that phase, and you won't be needing any for upgrades, so let 10,000 accumulate in inventory to unlock this achievement then.
and does not require fast leveling up of the car and character!)
