* Nothing is gained if one does not have at least level 1 of the Scrapper perk. At level 3, yields are at least doubled.
Locations[]
- Putting points into the Scrapper perk can yield a steady supply of screws and other uncommon components by scrapping found pipe weapons.
- Desk fans are generally the easiest way to acquire screws as they are found fairly commonly in urban areas. Early on in the game at Sanctuary Hills there are a good number of fans located inside the houses.
- Later on in the Wilson Atomatoys corporate HQ, located directly to the east of Diamond City, there is a large stock of Giddyup Buttercup pieces which can be used to gain lots of screws after clearing out the resident super mutants. Giddyup Buttercup horses are also sold at the Surplus in Diamond City by Percy.
- Sold by Trashcan Carla in shipments of 25.
- Sold by Rufus Rubins in Goodneighbor in shipments of 25.
- Sold by Arturo Rodriguez in Diamond City in shipments of 25.
- Sold by Tinker Tom at Railroad HQ in shipments of 25, after you've joined the Railroad.
- Sold by Penny Fitzgerald in Covenant in shipments of 25.
