Scrap or Sell?

[Greywolf]

Best to just scrap all unused weapons and armour or is it better off in the long run to sell? Any reason to hang on to them?

Just scrap it all until you have a fat chunk of spare scrap.
Gear is worth almost nothing and you'll get ridiculous amounts of money from just selling junk items anyway.

[Arden]

Scrap anything that's worth less than 15 at the start. And remember to upgrade your weapons with tinkering. More damage = faster killing = less durability loss.

[Nite69]

Only sell junk items, you can break down other stuff to use for repair or upgrades to gear

its simalar to the Jury Rig perk that fallout new vegas had, same developers so they put a simalar idea to it in this game too.

If you have Engineering 40+ (base, not modified), you have a slight chance to get a basic mod every time you scrap a weapon -- otherwise, you just get weapon parts.

Engineering 80+, you should have a chance for rare mods. Inconveniently, I don't believe the game actually tells you which mods are basic and which are rare...


OTOH, if your weapons are badly in need of upgrading w/ Tinkering, you need Bits for that, not weapon parts, so scrapping weapons won't help you. Why are weapons upgraded directly with money (presumably digital, because they're stored on cards), and not weapon parts? No idea.

No sell everything, you want as much money as possible which you use to upgrade your weapons which increases their damage. Upgrade them at a work bench under the "tinkering" tab.

[VaiTaPro]

Sell sell sell.

And upgrade your weapons like @Hoboslayer said.

If you're not investing in engineering, sell everything.

If you're investing at least 40 points its better to scrap. Your tinkering cost goes way down with decent engineering and you can sell the extra mods you don't need for more money. Win win.
