What cases give us and why farm them?
From each case we can acquire 2 of 5 possible items:
- shed map (unlocks location of barn that we can visit)
- junk (blue gears to upgrade/tune-up parts
- credits
- xp
- additional case
Because of the ability to acquire chest from chest we can make multiple from one, so it's recommended to farm them if we are in a need of acquiring an item from the drop list.
Required skill
To even be able to acquire a case after a job that is not a plot job, a skill named "Lucky" is needed.
Despite all those bonuses we can get from the case being very lucrative, i highly suggest doing the repair tree first and then moving on to the lucky one - thanks to repair skills we can minimize the buying costs and maximize the profit from jobs.
So how to farm them quickly?
Do the side jobs with the least components needed to be repaired.
The less we have to do, the faster we complete the job and possibly get the case.

Remember that to gain access to specific jobs (ex. brake repair) we are gonna need a specific tool (brake lathe).

Jobs that can be done the fastest are:
-fluid change and tune-up (wrench)
-body repair (doors)
-exhaust repair (exhaust pipe)
-brake repair (brake disc)
-jobs associated with gearboxes (gear stick)

That's about it, hope it helped. I wish you successful repairs and a good day!

absolute fastest way to farm cases and scraps: Save game before opening case. Open the case and get a bonus case + whatever you want (money, xp, or scraps). If you dont get a bonus case (or at least a barn location map, which guarantees a case) Load the save before you opened the case. (if you didnt know, open the settings tab on the options wheel in game, not the pause menu, and there is an option to load your last save.) Repeat this process for as long as youd like, case cards are randomized every time you load a save so you can just keep doing this

Use an auto clicker and quickly swipe across the cards when opening. This exploits the transition period between you "two" card flips so make sure you DO NOT flip more than 4 with the auto clicker to allow the second allowed flip to register. Otherwise you'll get soft locked and have to restart. i recommend saving between opens until you get the hang it

Nice guide, well done. A couple things to point out though.

1) Every barn is guaranteed to have a case in one of the junk piles. Depending on the jobs available it may be faster to go to a barn instead of doing an average of 4 jobs and hoping the RNG smiles on you. Also, every trip to the junkyard is guaranteed to have a barn map in a junk pile, though since there's so many piles there it's generally not worth the time of digging through them just for a map unless you're searching them anyway.

2) Case rewards scale by level. If you're wanting to get lots of scrap or maximize your XP (for the lvl 50 achievement) wait to open cases until you're level 30+ (40+ if you have that sort of patience).

save / reload till you get the crate.

this sounds like a csgo tutorial

Early game these can also be gained from story missions, and found in barns. Barn maps can also be found in the Junkyard, so that's another avenue of getting cases.
