Afraid Monkeys Scrap Values Guide
Scrap is the currency foundation of Afraid Monkeys. Every screw, pipe, and gear you carry can become credits at Scrap Recycler machines — unless an infected monkey kills you first and strips your inventory. Know every value before farming.
Scrap Credit Values
| Scrap Type | Credits | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Gear | 7 | Highest — detour for gears |
| Pipe | 2 | Medium |
| Box | 2 | Medium |
| Screw | 1 | Low — grab if safe |
| Cleaner | 1 | Low |
Values reflect beta balance similar to Ear Game economy and may shift in updates. Recheck after patch notes.
How to Collect Scrap
Interact with metal objects scattered in corridors, debris piles, and maintenance rooms. Pickup adds items to carried inventory visible on your ape character. Carry capacity appears unlimited but death drops everything unbanked.
Level 1 debris fields and Level 2 irradiated piles offer the densest spawn clusters. Route planning lives in Level 1 and Level 2 guides.
Scrap Recyclers
Recycler machines convert carried scrap into permanent credits. Interact at the machine prompt — typically labeled sell scrap — inside safe zones or mid-facility checkpoints. The first recycler on Level 1 sits near the lobby pipe exit junction.
Sell early, sell often. Credits survive death; carried scrap does not. Use scrap calculator before long dives.
Optimal Farming Loop
Enter Level 1 → sweep debris side rooms → recycler → lobby shop → repeat until fifty credits for Radar. After Radar, extend loops into Level 2 parking debris for faster gear spawns.
Avoid hat changes that reset credits per hats guide. Track milestones on progression checklist.
What to Buy With Credits
Priority order: Radar (50) → Molotov (25) → Grenade (15). Adjust based on solo vs team play and current level progression needs from keycard guide.
