Bite by Night: Best NEW Ways to Get Scrap Fast (Updated Guide)
Audio Summary
AI Summary
This guide provides an updated strategy for earning scrap, the sole currency in "Bite by Night," which is essential for unlocking animatronics, survivors, skins, and emotes. Recent updates have introduced new ways to earn scrap, though prices for skins and classes have increased. The VIP game pass has also been enhanced with a better boost to scrap and XP earnings.
New additions to scrap earning include daily login bonuses. Upon entering a server, a pop-up allows players to claim scrap, which can quickly accumulate if done consistently. Additionally, a code redemption system has been implemented. Players can access this system through the settings menu, where a "redeem" button is available. Recent codes have granted 1,000 scrap each, making it easier to unlock new classes. These new systems have made earning scrap more accessible, despite the price increases.
For new players, it's important to understand the scrap earning mechanics. Opportunities to earn scrap are significantly greater as a survivor than as a killer. The maximum scrap obtainable per game is capped at 525 for all players. To unlock every survivor, animatronic, and the VIP game pass, a total of 28,750 scrap is needed, assuming no further changes. This means a minimum of 55 games, played at maximum earnings, are required, an increase from the previous 53 games. This total does not include the additional scrap needed for skins and emotes, which have also seen new additions. Therefore, for efficient farming, it is still recommended to avoid playing as an animatronic.
If playing as a killer, the focus should be on baiting survivors into barricaded areas to destroy barricades and ultimately eliminate all survivors before 6 a.m. Kills and damaging barricades boost scrap earnings for killers, but still not as much as playing as a survivor. The guide strongly reiterates the recommendation to primarily play as a survivor to build up scrap reserves. Players can even disable the option to be chosen as a killer through the gameplay settings to optimize their time.
As a survivor, numerous actions yield scrap. All survivors can repair generators, with more scrap awarded for solo repairs. Finding and delivering batteries on specific maps also earns scrap. Barricading doors during a chase is crucial; moving away before the killer breaks the door allows the door to remain intact, enabling further scrap earnings from it. Stunning killers, particularly with the security guard's taser, now grants scrap. Escaping chases also contributes to scrap earnings. After completing generators, the main objective is to survive until 6 a.m., as longer survival leads to more XP and, consequently, more scrap. Successfully escaping a match provides significantly more scrap than dying.
The choice of survivor class impacts scrap earnings. The "customer" survivor is free and a good beginner class, but not ideal for scrap farming. The updated strategy recommends unlocking the "medic" first, costing 800 scrap. While not everyone enjoys playing a healer, the medic's self-heal is a significant advantage, and healing actions provide extra scrap. Switching from the customer to the medic as soon as possible is advised. The next recommended unlock is the "security guard" for 1,100 scrap. This class offers a support role focused on stunning animatronics with a taser, which also earns scrap. Finally, the "fighter" class, now the most expensive at 1,350 scrap, can stun animatronics with swing and parry abilities, also appearing to earn additional scrap. In essence, any class other than the customer is beneficial for scrap farming.
Once a survivor class is chosen and games are consistently played, the next goal is the VIP game pass. This can be purchased for 15,000 scrap, eliminating the need for Robux. The VIP game pass now offers a 1.5x boost to both scrap earnings and XP. Approximately 29 games at max earnings are required to unlock it, but the boost significantly accelerates the process of unlocking everything else.
The updated best farming method involves logging in daily for scrap, checking IGN's code page for additional scrap codes, disabling killer play to focus solely on survivors, and playing until 800 scrap is accumulated to unlock the medic. Subsequently, save 1,100 scrap for the security guard, utilizing their taser for scrap. Then, play until 15,000 scrap is saved to unlock the VIP game pass. With the 1.5x boosters active, unlock the fighter class, followed by all remaining killers. Along the way, players can unlock desired emotes and skins, but any subsequent scrap should be saved for future releases of killers and survivors. This comprehensive guide aims to help players efficiently build scrap in "Bite by Night."
