What is scrap banking?
Let’s say, you found a sandvich & a jag. You may already have these 2 weapons, or your just desperate
for a scrap, but wait, you can’t craft these 2 items into a scrap can you? They are 2 weapons from 2
different classes, and that is where a scrap banker saves the day. The scrap bankers role is to pretty
much take those 2 weapons & give you a scrap in return. Equal Trading.
How can I scrap bank myself?
Well, you will obvious need a scrap, or maybe more. Join a trade server, and type something such as :
Scrap Banking (x Scrap Left!) where x = amount of scrap you have, but you do not need to include that.
Once you have typed that in, use CTRL + A and then use CTRL + C, then CTRL + V to paste it. Paste this
every maybe 30 seconds or every minute. But another way would be to bind something you would like to say
to a key.
How do I bind that then?
You will need the developer’s console, which can be enabled by going to:
Options > Advanced in the KEYBOARD TAB > And check the ‘Enable Developer’s Console’
Click ‘OK’ then ‘Apply’ then ‘OK’.
I’ve done that, now how do I use it?
Well, you need to press the : ` or ~ button on your keyboard, which is under the ESC, above the TAB and
next to the 1 (some keyboards maybe be different) Once you open it type this command bind “o” “say Scrap
Banking!!” whereas “o” will be the key you can press to say what you want to say.
How can I make profit out of this?
Well, you can make quite a lot of metal if you are PATIENT.
Let me say, I have 1 scrap, and I scrap banked, so I now have 2 weapons (Remember to check if they are
CRAFTABLE). Out of those 2 weapons, I am able to sell 1 of those weapons for ATLEAST a piece of scrap.
If I sold both of the weapons I got from the FIRST scrap, I will get TWO SCRAP (or maybe you sold 1 or 2
of those weapons for MORE than a scrap)
You now see ‘I just got 2 scrap from 1 scrap’ Now you may wonder
‘What the heck do I do now?’
Well from here, you can scrap bank AGAIN and repeat the process and keep going on and on. BUT maybe if you
get a weapon from scrap banking, and you have the same weapon in your backpack already, you can craft those
2 weapons together to get a scrap, but I WOULDN’T recommend it. But moving onto the topic, I have 2 scrap
right now, then I scrap banked with both of those scrap and now I have 4 weapons. Now you can sell each of
those weapons for at least a scrap each. Now if you sold those 4 weapons, you will have at least 4 scrap.
Now you can scrap bank AGAIN, and keep repeating this process, or maybe you would like to buy something
you’ve really wanted, or maybe you see something go for a low price.
