How to get it

Routes and locations

Scrap Metal Blocks come from refined Scrap Metal, most reliably associated with Haybot combat and ruin scavenging.

Method / location

Ruins

Search damaged industrial structures for additional scrap material.

Before you leave
  • Move loose resource objects away from active combat before refining.
  • Use a Resource Collector when repeated manual carrying becomes slow.
  • Save stronger refined metal for high-impact frame areas.

Reinforce the Load Path

A full metal shell is not automatically a good vehicle. Put stronger material between wheels, suspension mounts, storage, and tools, while leaving non-critical panels light.

  • Protect bearings without blocking their motion.
  • Keep the roof lighter than the chassis.
  • Test steering again after every major weight increase.
