Scrappy is your room’s noisy, helpful rooster who passively brings back core crafting resources between raids. Training him early pays off with a steady flow of Metal Parts, Rubber, Fabric, and more. You upgrade Scrappy inside the Workshop: open the Workshop, select Scrappy, then choose Train to hand in the items for the next tier.
All Scrappy upgrades and requirements
| Level | Materials required |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | None |
| Level 2 | Dog Collar ×1 |
| Level 3 | Lemons ×3, Apricots ×3 |
| Level 4 | Prickly Pears ×6, Olives ×6, Cat Bed ×1 |
| Level 5 (Max) | Mushrooms ×12, Apricots ×12, Very Comfortable Pillows ×3 |
Note: Some in‑game callouts and community notes list slightly different amounts for late tiers. The consistent requirement set to reach max level is listed above.
Dog Collar (Level 2) — Residential loot
Dog Collars appear in Residential loot zones (and sometimes Commercial), typically inside drawers, on desks, and in general storage containers within houses and apartments.
| Map | Reliable areas |
|---|---|
| Dam Battlegrounds | Pale Apartments, Ruby Residence |
| Buried City | Santa Maria Houses, Plaza Rosa, Grandioso Apartments |
| Spaceport | Uncommon |
| The Blue Gate | Village, Raider’s Refuge, Ruined Homestead, Abandoned Housing Project |
Tip: Dam Battlegrounds doesn’t explicitly label Residential on the map, but Pale Apartments and Ruby Residence behave like residential blocks and are a safe early search.
Lemons and Apricots (Level 3) — Tree drops
Both fruits come from trees. Stand under a fruiting tree and interact to shake items loose. Carry a bit extra; you’ll need many more Apricots for Level 5.
| Item | Map | Best areas | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lemons | The Blue Gate | Olive Grove, Village, Ruined Homestead | High yield, but heavily contested. |
| Lemons | Buried City | Marano Park, Old Town | Large central park with many trees. |
| Lemons | Spaceport | Staff Parking, East Plains | Often quieter than urban centers. |
| Lemons | Dam Battlegrounds | Hydroponics Dome Complex | Spawns during Lush Blooms only. |
| Apricots | Dam Battlegrounds | Red Lakes | Tree clusters on lake islands; strong early route. |
| Apricots | Buried City | Marano Park | More Apricot trees than Lemon trees here. |
| Apricots | The Blue Gate | Olive Grove, Village | Pair with Lemon farming if you can extract safely. |
| Apricots | Spaceport | East Plains | Supplemental if you route Spaceport. |
Tip: Red Lakes (Dam Battlegrounds) is the cleanest early game loop for Apricots. Buildings such as Research & Admin or the Testing Annex can overlook the area, so keep your head on a swivel when extracting.
Prickly Pears, Olives, Cat Bed (Level 4)
Prickly Pears — Ground spawns near cacti
| Map | Reliable areas | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dam Battlegrounds | Red Lakes, north of Hydroponics Dome Complex (Victory Ridge area) | Highest concentration; easy to grab while looping Red Lakes. |
| Buried City | Southern edge of the map | Far from traffic; safer pickups. |
| Spaceport | East of Container Storage | Scattered clusters. |
| The Blue Gate | Uncommon | Don’t bank on this map for Pears. |
Olives — Orchard trees
| Map | Reliable areas | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| The Blue Gate | Olive Grove, northern Village approaches | Primary source; high traffic but dense spawns. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Adjacent forest near Dome Complex | Supplemental spawns; lighter competition. |
Cat Bed — Residential and Commercial loot
| Map | Reliable areas |
|---|---|
| Dam Battlegrounds | Ruby Residence, Pale Apartments |
| Buried City | Santa Maria Houses, Plaza Rosa, Grandioso Apartments |
| Spaceport | Uncommon |
| The Blue Gate | Village, Raider’s Refuge, Ruined Homestead, Abandoned Housing Project |
Tip: Old Town in Buried City (Santa Maria Houses and Plaza Rosa) is the most consistent place to secure a Cat Bed. If you’re still in Dam Battlegrounds, the Ruby Residence/Pale Apartments loop is the safer early option.
Mushrooms, Apricots, Very Comfortable Pillows (Level 5)
Mushrooms — Forest, swamp, and domes on Dam Battlegrounds
| Map | Reliable areas | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Dam Battlegrounds | Formicai Hills forest (near Scrap Yard and Wreckage) | Frequent clusters on and around fallen trunks. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Swamp (west) | Large area; check damp logs, tunnels, and shaded ground. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Hydroponics Dome Complex (southernmost dome) | Occasional indoor spawns along walls and pipes. |
Mushrooms are overwhelmingly concentrated on Dam Battlegrounds. Plan a loop that sweeps Formicai Hills and dips into the Swamp to hit the count in one or two runs.
Apricots — Top-up for the final tier
Use the same routes from Level 3; Red Lakes (Dam Battlegrounds) and Marano Park (Buried City) remain the fastest ways to stockpile the 12 Apricots needed here.
Very Comfortable Pillows — Residential and Commercial loot
| Map | Reliable areas | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Buried City | Santa Maria Houses, Plaza Rosa, Grandioso Apartments | Best for quantity; you need three total. |
| The Blue Gate | Village, Raider’s Refuge, Ruined Homestead, Abandoned Housing Project | Often yields multiple pillows per sweep. |
| Dam Battlegrounds | Ruby Residence, Pale Apartments | Good early option, but fewer total loot rooms. |
| Spaceport | Uncommon | Don’t rely on this map for pillows. |
Tip: Treat Pillows exactly like Cat Beds—same loot categories, just rarer. Focus on dense Residential and Commercial blocks rather than isolated buildings.
Fast, low‑risk farming loops (summary)
| Loop | Map | Route focus | What you’ll cover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Apartment sweep | Dam Battlegrounds | Pale Apartments → Ruby Residence | Dog Collar, Cat Bed, Pillows (small chance) |
| Islands run | Dam Battlegrounds | Red Lakes islands and shore | Apricots, Prickly Pears nearby, easy line of sight |
| Old Town grid | Buried City | Santa Maria Houses ↔ Plaza Rosa | Dog Collar, Cat Bed, Pillows (best density) |
| Park stroll | Buried City | Marano Park perimeter and interior | Lemons and Apricots in the same run |
| Olive Grove dash | The Blue Gate | Olive Grove → Village outskirts | Olives (primary), plus occasional Lemons/Apricots |
| Forest–swamp sweep | Dam Battlegrounds | Formicai Hills → Swamp → southern Dome | Mushrooms (bulk), with a dome check for extras |
Note: The Olive Grove is lucrative but hot. If the area is swarmed, pivot to Spaceport’s Staff Parking/East Plains for Lemons and use Dam Battlegrounds for your Apricot and Mushroom quotas.
Once Scrappy hits max, his collection box quietly smooths out mid‑game crafting bottlenecks. Keep an eye on fruit tree rotations and Residential/Commercial clusters during regular raids so you can top up future runs without detouring.
