Scavenging

Scavenge the Dumping Grounds in Probably Stolen after closing from Day 2, with 5 attempts a visit. Each risks a wound, so bring a bandage, and a late trip can cost customers the next morning.

6:05 You can scavenge the Dumping Grounds after hours from Day 2, with 5 attempts a visit, to find materials and sellable junk at the risk of a wound. The clip is ambiguousamphibian on Rock Bottom, with two extra attempts from Proficient Scavenger.

The risks

3:55 GitM measured 10% minor and 2.25% major wound chances per attempt, and AllThingsHow reads the chance rising from 5% and 1% to those numbers through a visit. Bring a bandage and a bigger bag: pockets hold one item, and GitM recommends the fanny pack. A flashlight lowers wound chance.

Night trips cost trade: you can oversleep and miss customers. Short Sleeper removes that, and Agoraphobia makes it worse.

What you find

Scrap for the furnace, and scratcher tickets worth up to 350. Radioactive Waste cannot be sold. A Scav Scanner costs 250 credits and has a 15% double-loot chance, and only one works at a time. Proficient Scavenger adds 2 searches, and Careful Scavenger trades 2 searches for safety. Dragging a bandage onto a Glass Shard makes a Glass Shiv, and keeps the bandage.
