Mad Max

"* "Early game scrap: You get quite pitiful amounts from picking up caches and leftovers from smashed vehicles, though it adds up of course. A better source is to look for Scrapulances (a type of car, looks like a pickup with a sack of scrap on the back). They show up as a cogwheel icon on the minimap. Hijacking one and taking it to a Stronghold nets you 500.

- Mid-game scrap: With a bit of armor on your car, if you get caught in a dust storm, hang out and look for the Muthaloot boxes. Harpoon them and smash them for 3x100 scrap each.

- Late-game scrap: You get automatic scrap from captured camps, so prioritize those when starting on a new region. They are the only real way to get the amounts you need for the last upgrades. There is a Project you can build that collects scrap for you while not playing (you get it when you start up the game again while online).

- You get a ton of levels over the game and many of the challenges are things you just get without really trying. I wouldn't spend Griffa tokens on leveling your Legend rank if you have anything else to buy. It only gives you a partial level anyway (that is, one token == one of the ten levels you need to earn the next rank).

- The thunderpoon unlocks late in the Gutgash part of the main story. If you wish to rush the story to unlock things, that's a good point in time to aim for.

- If you interact with a unbuilt project in a Stronghold, it will mark the places on your map where you can find project parts for it.

- Death races serve as fast travel points. Just get close to them to activate it.

- Hot air balloons reveal a few things on the map from just ascending. Look around while you are up there: Anything you spot will also be added, but only after you mark it with your binoculars.
