Fastest ways to get scrap in Rust.

The first method: Monuments.

Farming Scrap on moments is a quick and efficient way to do it and your best bet - but this comes with a high risk. these monuments are usually highly populated area's where a lot of players will come towards. we suggest checkout out our top 5 rust monuments guide to get yourself prepared. the rewards of doing monuments is certainly worth it and a quick way to make scrap. some of these monuments do require keycards to fully access and loot them.

its an easy process: head to the monument you want to farm and look for barrels and crates within the monument. once you have enough of these you need to head to the recycler and recycle the components into scrap.

Make sure to keep an eye out for certain components since they give different yields. especially gears, sheet metal and fuses are good to recycle since they give a lot of resources. you can also recycle these components in outpost however with the new game recycling components in monuments bring more yield then doing it in a safezone like outpost.

Method 2: Farming Road.

Farming Scrap on the road is not as good of a  method to do since its nearly not as efficient and fast as farming monuments. usually it involves long running on the road and getting mostly barrels when crates yield the better components. scrap is not a thing you get a lot from farming road either but is gained from recycling the components. Because of this you would still have to risk going to a monument to recycle your components with the highest yield or go to outpost and recycle with a lower yield.

the comfortable thing about road farming is that you usually have it around your base. that way you can do quick and small runs that are perfect for the early game to gain some componenets to craft crossbows and nails guns. you also get scientist here that provide you with green keycards to be able to explore monuments further. make sure to check out our keycards guide.

Method 3: Horse Farming.

this approach is not as popular since it takes long to setup, but it is surprisingly one of the fastest ways to gain scrap. horse farming is done through keeping horses in their stable and farming their manure, this you can convert into fertilizer which then allows for you to trade it in at outpost.

it make take a little to setup especially for new players however its certainly a good strategy. you should start by building a base for your horses and making sure that they are all fed. Once they release their horse dung you can pick it up and put it into a composter to become fertilizer. after this is done you just head over to outpost and swap it for scrap which gives you a easy profit.

this method is possible due to the availability of vending machines in outpost which allow you to trade in fertilizer for scrap.

Scrap method 4: Scrap Tea

Do you even wonder what those mixing tables or good for? you can actually create very good tea's with one of them is the scrap tea, it allows you to get more scrap from barrels and is one of the better and more efficient way to farm scrap in rust.

there are multiple types of scrap teas. you got the basic scrap tea which gives you a 100% scrap yield for 30 minutes. then you have the advanced scrap tea which increases the yield by 225% for 45 minutes. And at last you have the pure scrap tea which gives you a 350% scrap boost for 1 hour.

Once drinking a scrap tea it will activate the effect and start the countdown of how long its active. you have to watch out though since when you die the effect will be gone. so make sure to avoid fighting at much as possible when having a active scrap tea. the whole goal is to farm scrap deposit and then do it again till your tea runs out. this will triple the scrap earnings you get from farming and is one of the fastest ways to get scrap in rust

Scrap method 5: Fishing

Fishing is the most peaceful way to earn scrap. sit yourself down in a fishing village safe zone and just throw out your fishing rod and have a peaceful time. some rust cheats even have automatic fishing bots which allow you to be away from your pc and continue to earn scrap my fishing. 

When you have caught enough fish you can trade it in at the fishing village vending machine for scrap. With this method there is barely any risk of dying only when running to fishing village and back to base.
