Junk Scrap is obtained by scrapping items on the Crafting tab in Marauders. The easiest way to obtain scrap is by purchasing knives from the trade dealer and then scrapping those.

To scrap items, simply tap on the Crafting tab and then drag an item into the “Scrapping” window. You can see the potential materials you get for each item on the Scrapping window as soon as you click on one.

For example, scrapping a Combat Knife will almost always give you at least one Junk Scrap. The Combat Knife can be purchased from the trade dealer for around $1800, depending on your reputation and discount.

Another easy way to get Junk Scrap is by scrapping pistols. If you didn’t already know, each time you load up into a match on your Rustbucket (default ship), there’s a free Luger you can pick up and bring back with you when you extract. It’s typically located right in front of your character on a box when you first spawn into the game.
