Glitched Scrap Chest:
---------------------
Successfully complete the epic jump near the far right corner of the Grandrise 
region, in Pink Eye's territory located just to the right of the tip of that 
section of the map. You should find a box to the right side of the tent's 
entrance, near where you land after performing the jump. Check its contents and
collect it for 50 scrap. You can repeat the process as often as you like, 
collecting scrap each time.


Earning Scrap:
--------------
You'll need scrap to get far in the Wasteland. Although the material is relatively
common, building up a decent supply of it can take some time. Here are some tips 
to help speed up the process:

-=Take Camps=-
You'll receive deliveries of scrap from each camp you own every 20 minutes or so,
without needing to do anything extra, so taking camps should be a priority. 

-=Scavenger Encounters=-
When you find encounters (marked on your map as a hand icon), seek them out and 
score an easy 50 from the scavenger, as well as another 50 if you decide to be 
a murderer. 

-=Face Storms=-
Head to a storm and find crates, which you can break open against walls to 
easily collect scrap (you'll have to get out of the Magnum Opus, so make sure
you park it in a strong defensive position). 

-=Hijack Scrapulance Vehicles=-
These vehicles, which belong to the Scrotus Enemies faction, can be turned into
a bunch of scrap if you chase them down and kill their driver, then return the 
vehicles to a Stronghold. You could get hundreds in scrap if you get the vehicle
to such a destination in one piece.

Easily Defeat Top Dogs:
-----------------------
Written by HLK

A quick and easy method to defeat Top Dogs.

-=Preparation=-
Upgrade Max's Shotgun (Optional)

Upgrade the Shotgun in the "Max" menu. The more you upgrade it, the better. More shots 
means more chances to shoot. The Top Dog will be down in around 4 shots. However, he 
can block shots entirely if his arm and weapon are positioned *just so*.

-=Unlock Shiv Punishers (Optional)=-
Shiv punishers can be used to give a little extra damage, but you can also get through 
a fight without them. Unlock the punishers in the "Max" menu under "Skills".

-=Find a Top Dog=-
Top Dogs are located at Top Dog camps as well as in a few scavenging locations (surprise!). 
Locate a Top Dog. It's probably good to start with one that has a lower difficulty rating 
(fewer skulls in the description).

-=Clear the Area=-
The Top Dog will likely release a few War Boys to get in your way. Kill them first using 
unarmed attacks. Try not to use any shivs and definitely do not use the shotgun. Avoid 
the Top Dog while you are doing this. Run across the entire fighting floor if you have 
to. You can also repeatedly "dodge" (RB on the controller if you are using it) to quickly 
roll away from everyone.

-=Defeat Him=-
Run up fairly close to him (default RT on controller). 
Once he's using one of those "enraged" attacks (where a red skull appears above his head), 
quickly dodge the attack (RB). 
Spin around to face him. He'll likely have stumbled and be fumbling with his melee weapon. 
While he is distracted, quickly aim your shotgun (LB) and shoot him (B). 
While he is stumbling from the shot, run up near him and use a Shiv Punisher (A). 
Rinse and repeat. 
Once his health is very low, run up and finish him off (A).

This is a lot simpler than trying to punch him to death, use the environment, or to keep 
using melee weapons you've found or shivs that will run out before he dies.
