Players can gather and find a ton of different resources in Valheim, including Black Metal Scrap, which is used to create a variety of items.

This item is arguably one of the most important resources in the game, as you can make some of the most powerful armor and weapons available. Being able to craft both defensive and offensive tools is another major benefit of using Black Metal Scrap.

This guide focuses on teaching players the basics of Black Metal Scrap, including where to find it and what you can use it for. Keep an eye out for which methods are easier for you to do depending on your own progress.

Where To Get Black Metal Scrap

You can obtain Black Metal Scrap in Valheim by getting it as a drop from defeating Fuling enemies across Valheim. You can find three different types of Fulings: normal, Berserkers, and Fuling Shamans, according to Screen Rant.

Black Metal Scrap is found to be a drop from all of these types of Fulings, which are incredibly powerful foes compared to other creatures in Valheim. This is why it is recommended to be cautious when farming for this particular resource.

How To Smelt Black Metal Scrap

When you get enough Black Metal Scrap as you want, you can now start smelting them into Black Metal bars. You can do this method with the help of a blast furnace that you can craft using the game's core system.

To make a blast furnace, you need to have 20 Fine Wood, 10 Iron, 20 Stones, and five Surtling Cores. After you make it, you can put in coal and the Black Metal Scraps that you gathered from the Fuling enemies, Sportskeeda said.

Using the Black Metal bars that you crafted, you can now start making a variety of armor and weapons. These include axes, shields, swords, tower shields, and many more. You are also able to make Atgeir and Skoll and Hati.

Other Things To Know

With so many items to choose from when using Black Metal bars, it can be hard to figure out which you should craft first so as not to waste your resources. There are two main weapons that stand out among the rest.

These are the Black Metal Atgeir and the Black Metal Skoll and Hati. The first is a polearm-type weapon that is only beaten by the Himmin Afl. It has a secondary attack that performs a deadly 360-degree sweep to damage nearby groups of enemies.

The second is one of the strongest unique weapons in Valheim, and it is the only one that lets players duel wield. It has amazing attack speed and powerful backstab damage.

Another great thing about this weapon is its low weight, which makes it an efficient inventory item, according to Game Rant.
