Scrap can also be used to purchase much-needed in-game items to help you on missions. However, knowing what’s important and a priority during a mission can make or break your inventory cash flow. Furthermore, you should always take note that scrap prices can fluctuate depending on the in-game market and payday pricing.

9 Apparatuses

  • Net Worth: 80 credits

The apparatus is a piece of scrap found in a special room, acting as the electricity generator of the level. This item can be found in most facilities, including the less difficult moons. Since it powers the facility, it can be a low priority as you and your team search for other bits of loot. Removing it earlier is possible, but in doing so, the entire facility will shut down and increase the spawn rate of monsters within the facility.

You and your team should map your escape route before attempting to retrieve this piece of scrap, as moving throughout the facility in pitch darkness has claimed many a foolish soul trying to retrace their steps out of the abyss.

Make sure you grab everything else within the facility before making a getaway with the apparatus.

8 Rubber Duckys

  • Net Worth: 2-98 credits

Despite being far away from the bathtub, the rubber ducky can potentially fetch a decent price on payday. The rubber ducky is an item that's easy to spot in the facility. The duck doesn't take up too much room, making it easy to carry about.

However, the rubber duck does emit a quacking sound when equipped or dropped, which may draw the attention of unwanted monsters. You will need to be a little careful when handling this deceptively cute item.

7 Hairdryers

  • Net Worth: 60-98 credits

This piece of scrap stands apart from the rest of the other items. The hairdryer is a small item and, therefore, will not take up too much room in player inventories, making it both profitable and easy to hold while you and your team search for other goods.

What makes the hairdryer unique is that it can emit a loud blowing sound that can be used to alert nearby monstrosities such as the eyeless dogs. You can use this to their advantage to draw away monsters surrounding entrances to the facilities or ships, allowing you and your team to potentially have safe passage. Each hairdryer will have four charges to create noise, so you should use (not use) them at their discretion.

6 Laser Pointers

  • Net Worth: 32-100 credits

While exploring the various facilities, you may come across a laser pointer. These little guys are small, compact, and can be downright useful when applied skillfully. When turned on, the laser pointer emits a tight orange beam similar to the remote turret, which can be used to distract enemies, especially those with particularly keen sight, such as forest giants.

Alternatively, the laser pointer is also a handy tool to lure enemies towards a specific direction, allowing friendlies to sneak back onto the ship. This is especially the case of forest giants who have very good eyesight. So you might decide to hold onto it for a while before finally cashing it in at the company collection depot.

5 Paintings

  • Net Worth: 94-124 credits

Though an odd sight amongst the industrial ruins, paintings can be found situated in various rooms within the decaying compounds. Paintings are most certainly another potentially lucrative risk that you might want to stick around for.

Large and weighing around 31 pounds, the item does slow you down and will require both hands to carry about. In addition to this, the scrap item may also obstruct your POVs. The good thing is that apart from this, paintings don’t provide additional hazards, and you can store them inside or outside the ship while searching for more items.

4 Fancy Lamps

  • Net Worth: 60-128 credits

While not fetching the highest payout, the fancy lamp does have other beneficial uses. The lamp itself can serve as a source of light, which can be a godsend for those running out of flashlight juice.

However, it is not without its drawbacks as it does require two hands to carry about. This will cause you to feel restricted when wanting to interact with other items and things on the map. Light sources will also attract non-friendly entities, so you will have to be extra vigilant when wielding the lamp itself.

3 Cash Registers

  • Net Worth: 102-160 credits

The cash register is a good item to haul back and sell. However, it also requires two hands to bring around, making it a potentially risky investment, especially when you're caught up in a dangerous chase.

Requiring two hands also means that the cash register is quite heavy. You must pay attention to their surroundings and stay vigilant lest something from the shadows grabs them. This item also plays a cash register sound, adding a little fun to the post-apocalyptic treasure hunt.

2 Bee Hives

  • Net Worth: 51-169 credits

While it is odd to classify a living ecosystem as scrap, beehives can be a viable source of income for you and your squad. Since these items are found outdoors and can fetch very high prices, it's almost impossible to completely ignore them. However, they are quite dangerous to handle and will require proper teamwork and patience to extract.

Sometimes these hives can be empty which is perfect. However, it is possible for roaming swarms of bees to settle into an abandoned hive once they’ve come into contact. Bee swarms will attack the closest team member regardless if that person is holding the hive or not.

1 Gold Bars

  • Net Worth: 108-210 credits

The name speaks for itself. Gold bars are some of the most valuable items hidden around the various moon facilities. Finding one of these bad boys will help you and your team reach their quotas, fetching a higher/lower price depending on the mission and when you sell it. However, due to their high market price, they aren’t easy to find and can usually be found behind locked doors.

Gold bars are quite heavy and can also take up multiple inventory slots, encumbering players and significantly lowering movement speed. It's not the most ideal when being chased by dangerous monsters. The payout, however, might be worth it.
