* [[Scrap metal (Fallout 3)]]
'''Scrap metal''' is a [[miscellaneous item]] in ''[[Fallout 3]]'' and ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]''.
 
 
* [[Scrap metal (Fallout: New Vegas)]]
 
==''Fallout 3''==
 
Scrap metal plays no further role in the game than collecting for certain people.
 
 
===Related quests===
 
* ''[[The Outcast Collection Agent]]'': scrap metal along with various other items can be turned in to [[Protector Casdin]] at [[Fort Independence]] for ammunition, grenades, and useful aid items.
 
* ''[[This Old House]]'': scrap metal can be given to [[Winthrop]] at [[Underworld]] in exchange for radiation supplies or stimpaks.
 
* ''[[Walter's Scrap Metal]]'': scrap metal can be turned in to [[Walter (Fallout 3)|Walter]] at [[Megaton]] for caps, experience, and positive karma if the player decides to give the scrap metal for free.
 
* The [[Ammo Press|ammo press]] in [[The Pitt (town)|The Pitt]] can also be used to melt scrap metal down into ammunition. Scrap metal is very useful in the presses due to it yielding more ammunition than scrap put in. For example, if one puts 500 pieces of scrap metal into the press to make [[shotgun shells]], it will return 1000 shells.
 
 
==''Fallout: New Vegas''==
 
Much like in ''Fallout 3'', scrap metal in ''Fallout: New Vegas'' can be turned in to various non-player characters for unmarked quests. It is also a useful alternative to a higher Repair skill when trying to repair certain objects. It is a necessary component in the crafting of the [[Weapon repair kit]]. Its most lucrative use, however, is that it can be broken down into 200 units of [[lead]], which is used in the crafting of ammunition at a [[reloading bench]]. These things are not mutually exclusive, however, as lead is the easiest component of ammunition to get; the primer, powder, and casings are all much less commonplace.
 
 
===Related quests===
 
* [[ED-E My Love]]: [[ED-E]] can be repaired using three pieces of scrap metal and several other objects if the player lacks the requisite Repair and/or Science skill to do so without parts.
 
* ''[[Iron and Stealing]]'': One option to gain fame with the Boomers and thus complete the quest [[Volare!]] is to give [[Jack (Boomer)|Jack]] scrap metal. 50 pieces will give the player instant Idolized status. This unmarked quest stays active even after the bomber is raised.
 
* ''[[Dealing with Contreras]]'': [[Isaac]] can be given scrap metal to make ammunition for Contreras. 100 pieces are necessary. However, he will also accept the much more numerous and far less valuable [[bent tin can]]s instead.
 
* ''[[Not Worth a Hill of Corn and Beans]]'': Two pieces of scrap metal, along with many other supplies, are needed to repair [[William Farber]]'s food processor in [[Camp McCarran]] if you lack the Repair skill to jury rig it.
 
 
==Locations==
 
*Scrap metal can be found throughout the Capital Wasteland and the Mojave Wasteland.
 
* [[Old Lady Gibson]] located in [[Gibson scrap yard]] has a large stock of scrap metal, ranging from 3 to 7 at a time. Her inventory restocks every 72 in-game hours.
 
 
===Crafting===
 
With the ''[[Honest Hearts]]'' add-on, two new crafting recipes allow the player to craft scrap metal.

==Behind the scenes==
 
* Scrap metal was originally called "spare parts" and was designed to function just like [[alien epoxy]] (which was added to ''[[Fallout 3]]'' with the ''[[Mothership Zeta (add-on)|Mothership Zeta]]'' [[Fallout 3 add-ons|add-on]]), but this idea was dropped during pre-production.
