2.0 best way to grind crafting materials? anyone?

[IronGoat]

title says it all
im looking for ways MORE efficient then just random junking things i find.
the balance pendulum has swung too far the other way
we went form way too easy to get materials to a virtual wasteland of them

Shoot gangs.
Deconstruct weapons.

it seems junk vendors dont really carry them anymore and guns do not scrap for that much so im sure if you give it a day or two someone will find a good method to getting them. I have gotten enough mats from 13 hours of playing to upgrade like 6 guns total, its actually such a stupid change

Scrap weapons and clothing looted from downed enemies, this was typically the best and only efficient way to get crafting materials even before 2.0

uh what?
as opposed to just buying what you need?
before 2.0 f i was short i went to a junk shop and bought what i wanted
also the stuff scrapped for more bits now everything (so far) seems to only scrap for 1 unit

Weapons give you 5 pieces each, some melee weapons 7.

I never bought stuff and always just scrapped what I came across. Always got what I needed from loot, never had a reason to buy from vendors other than plans.

if you got the eddies you can just buy all the weapons from gunstores and dismantle them

or cheat engine if you dont wanna grind

For low-level components, find those vending machines that sell the budget guns for 100 eddie's each. The vending machines will spit out about 25 guns and each gun can be broken down for 5 common components.

Off of the Goldsmith Street fast travel point where all the vending machines are there's three of them.
There's also about four or five in if you circle around Kabuki Market; With another two in the area near the Ripperdoc in that same area.
