Enshrouded has a lot of different resources and materials that players can gather to use in a variety of recipes and structures.
One of the most important early game materials you can find in the game is Metal Scrap, which is used as a crafting component in a variety of recipes. The best thing about Enshrouded is that unlike other survival and crafting games, you do not need to go through wood and stone to access metal items.
The main issue about using Metal Scrap is how you can get enough to use for everything that you can craft. This means that finding a good source of this particular material is crucial to maintaining your crafting cycles.
Getting Metal Scrap
To get Metal Scrap in Enshrouded, you need to travel to nearby towns or villages and pillage every single home. You can get it as a fairly common floor loot from any civilized area, including inside the Shroud, according to Rock Paper Shotgun.
Look out for furniture or structures that seem to be made out of metal and destroy them to get a chance to acquire Metal Scrap. Bandit enemies are also good sources so try to kill as many as you can.

Useful Recipes That Use Metal Scrap
A lot of early game recipes make use of Metal Scrap, including a variety of tools such as the Scrappy Axe, Scrappy Pickaxe, and Scrappy Rake. When it comes to weapons, the Scrappy Sword is a useful item to have while you work your way up to stronger options.
If you are looking to continue down the crafting route, you will need The Forge that is required to turn Metal Scraps into Metal Sheets. Nails are another essential item that can be crafted using Metal Scrap, The Gamer said.
Useful Early Game Metal Scrap Farming
If you want to get a lot of Metal Scrap in the early game, there is one particular method that is very useful. You first need to go to Cinder Vault and head south to the pods where you first spawned.
When you get to the area where there are pods in the vicinity, you can smash them with a pickaxe to get a chance for Metal Scrap. These structures are made of metal, so they have a decent chance of dropping the item that you need, according to One Esports.
