To do this, you simply <strong>visit a settlement you own and open up your Pip-Boy<\/strong>. Hover over the item you wish to scrap, but first <strong>drop it onto the ground by pushing X if you are an Xbox player\/Square if you are on PlayStation<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Once the item is on the floor in front of you, <strong>hover over it and you will be presented with an option to scrap it<\/strong>. This will reduce the object to its base components.<\/p>\n<p>For example, scrapping a wrench will leave you with a gear and two pieces of steel.<\/p>\n<p>[squirrel-affiliate-playlist squirrel_playlist_id=\u201d653\u2033 \/]<\/p>\n<p>These elements are sent directly to your workshop inventory to be used when upgrading weapons and armour, as well as construction at your settlements, so hauling a heap of junk is actually worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>Identifying items that will yield specific materials you need for weapons upgrades or a new gun turret for your settlement is the best way to prioritise the junk you choose to get rid of.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a video from YouTube channel The Triple S League that perfectly demonstrates the process:<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fallout 4: How to Scrap Junk\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SYbXSHuyOxU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p>However, this is useful if you are scrapping a small amount of items \u2013 but it can be tedious when getting rid of large volumes. Read on for an easier method when ditching bigger sums of junk.<\/p> <h2><strong>What else can you do with unwanted items in Fallout 4?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There is also another way you can deal with unwanted junk in Fallout 4, and that is to <strong>scrap it directly at a workshop<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>To do this, you simply approach a workshop and press X if you are an Xbox player\/Square if you are on PlayStation to select the \u2018Transfer\u2019 option.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you press Y\/Triangle to scrap all of your junk at once, automatically converting the items into elements that can be used for construction or upgrading.<\/p>\n<p>Jay Cartere has a simple video on how to do this on YouTube, if learning visually is easier for you.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fallout 4 - How To Scrap All Your Junk At Once\" width=\"200\" height=\"113\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/44R8k3th-G8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer;
