So, one of the most restricting things I find is the rate of how much scrap you get for playing vs. how much you need to upgrade weapons, mutators, etc. With all that money spent I don’t even have enough left to experiment with different weapons or buy consumables.

How are you handling it, are you also struggling or have here been some strats for getting a couple bucks real quick? :)

    The best thing I’ve found so far is just to run adventures. Once you get a few levels into the archs and start getting a build going you don’t need to upgrade as much allowing you to start saving more. I was able to come out of one up 5000 from when I went in. Ofc results may vary depending on where you are and it may take a surprising amount of time if your build is lacking. I personally have not found any trinkets that increase the amount of scrap you collect but there were a few of those in R1 so it might be worth it to look out for those as well. Another thing: don’t worry about collecting things you already own. Often times when you pick up a ring or something which you already have, it gets converted into scrap.

    If you’re not aware, you can find the scavengers bauble, amulet boosts scrap gather rate. Pretty sure its like 25 or 50%

      That’s actually the amulet I talked about in another comment. Really handy, tough I have to say that it basically stripped my amulet slot from me. Haven’t really used any other one because I’m otherwise broke

    I like to just join other peoples’ games via Quick Play: the benefit of doing so is that you’re usually directly thrown into a combat situation and get to pretty quickly move through the game.

    Jumping from player to player, usually leaving after a boss, is my preferred way to grind before moving on with the campaign (especially if I’ve just found a new gun and it’s not worth using until I’ve upgraded it).
