Why am I not getting paid for returned vehicles?

[DrakeSteele]

I keep bringing all these vehicles back to my stronghold and I'm not getting paid a single scrap. This is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

[prentince.mungo]

for me the only car I got payed for was a "Scrap carrier" a pickup with a big box of scrap on it .. the other cars are stored in your garage and can be used to drive around - no scrap for them as far as I know ..

keep it up

[Mr.Arber]

yes only the scrap carrier gives you scrap

[PlevisVesel]

The cars you bring in are added to your collection so you can use them later in races or to sneak through the defenses of a camp.
The SCRAPULANCE is the only car that actually carries scrap so you get all of it when you bring it in.

[DrakeSteele]

We should still get like 20'ish scrap for turning in ANY vehicle, representing proeprly disassembling it in the stronghold vs destroying it in the field and getting half as much.

[MinionJoe]

Yeah, I find myself having to waste time smashing up perfectly good but driverless vehicles just for the scrap. Wish there was a better way to salvage 'abandoned' vehicles.

if build a clean up crew it picks scrap from car you kill for you in the strong you in

Only the haulers give scrap.
If you have the correct project completed at a stronghold you get scrap from destroyed vehicles in the wasteland area the stronghold controls otherwise it's pointless to take vehicles you already own back.

Yes, but they won't salvage driverless-but-undestroyed vehicles.

That's the OP's point: you only get scrap from completely destroyed vehicles (except Scrapulance)

So far this is my only complaint with the game. There should be a more efficient way of getting scrap off abandoned behicles.

I made the mistake of turning in a convoy truck. Didn't get the truck, didn't get any scrap, didn't get the hood ornament. Don't make my mistake.

[DrakeSteele]

Exactly, that's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ oversight. You should get extra rewards for hauling back an intact vehicle. ANY vehicle. Especially the pimping ones. If you don't 'own' the vehicle, fine, add it to the list, if you 'own' it, scrap the extras that come in. That makes perfect sense.

Too late :p

My guess is they didn't want us to be spending a bunch of time going out, capturing cars and bringing them back over and over.

Based on how little scrap you get from blowing up a car I think the scrap they do drop is meant more as a bonus for when cars do explode... not something we should be going out of our way to do. I only seem to be getting 8 scrap at most from a blown up car. The time it takes to blow up an abandoned one is probably best spent doing other things, but it just seems like such a waste to let it go.

I did that too. but it respawned. so i got to try again. this time i killed it.

I hardly use my shotgun in combat. I use my shotgun a lot for blowing up cars for scrap. I also think gas should be harder to come by.
