Even though the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 4 is far from ideal, it is still full of items that will help you survive. Of course, no one will argue that weapons, ammunition, supplies, and caps will never be superfluous, but you can also find a ton of junk like old teddy bears and dozens of wrenches you simply don’t need.

No one is stopping you from throwing these items away or not picking them up in the first place, but the soul of a true survival fan will not always allow them to do this. For those willing to part with these pieces of junk, Fallout 4 offers two ways to scrap items, breaking them down into component resources that can be used in crafting.

How To Scrap Junk In Fallout 4

Scrapping a First Aid Kit in Fallout 4

To begin with, it is worth clarifying that the items in the game can be divided into two groups: helpful items and Junk. Here's a look at two ways to scrap Junk in Fallout 4:

  • Players can scrap Junk items individually by throwing them on the ground.
  • Players can scrap everything at once using the Workshop station.

In the first case, you should go to your settlement and throw the items you want to scrap onto the ground. Next, open the Workshop menu and go to the discarded items. Hover over the item and press R or Square/X, depending on your platform. After this, the Junk will be disassembled, and the components will be moved to the Workshop storage.

Alternatively, you can go directly to the Workshop station and interact with it to quickly scrap all the items and receive their components. To do this, you only need to press the key at the bottom of the screen opposite the Store All Junk inscription. All unnecessary items from your inventory will be placed entirely in the Workshop, but if necessary, they will be scrapped automatically. More precisely, these items will always be available in the Workshop storage. These resources will not take up space in your inventory or burden you with weight, but you can always use them when you decide to repair, build, or craft something.
