You need scrap for just about everything in Arc Raiders, whether it's building a new crafting bench in your workshop, upgrading your weapons, or cobbling together the odds and ends you need for each run up to the deadly, bot-infested surface. The number of different scrap items will be so overwhelming initially that you're more than likely to just bundle them all into your bag and hope you got the right junk.
Honestly, it's a good strategy at first. After all, you've got your trusty rooster, Scrappy, who will be true to his name and gather scrap, meaning you're always making progress even when it seems like you're just getting melted by swarms of robots every run. You can also upgrade Scrappy's gathering capabilities if you find a dog collar.
