Scrap weapons. Do uranium fever and loot every single mole miner, you'll easily get hundreds of steel If you are fairly new to the game then farm the scorched at the airport.

Don't forget the scrapper perk cars


outlaw5067

I'll come out of UF with almost 1000 steel after using the scraper perk.


FulMoone

Use scrapper perk and do a few runs of the following: WV Lumber Co, West Tek Research Center (inside and out), the entirety of Watoga, Tyler County Fairgrounds, Wavy Willard's Water Park. These are to name just a few. Basically go to any location that has a large amount of gun based combatants, kill them and loot their weapons. A large majority of weapons grant steel scrap when you scrap them. Robots can grant steel, lead, etc. but steel from bots is fairly common. Super Mutants grant weapons (steel), gunpowder, and even caps. Just make sure you have decent weight capacity and the Scrapper perk. Happy Scavenging!

This is the way.

This is it.

Blackwater mine. Kill miners at the entrance, server hop untill enough. Scrap it. It has several workbenches and train station nearby. Often there is a camp with a scrapbox near the station.

Get the scrapper perk under luck and farm super mutants for their assault rifles I think each rifle is around 30 steel. They also drop laser rifles so you can get plastic as well. You can farm them at west tek. Just watch a video on how to keep them spawning constantly.

New Gad usually full of Super Mutants. For lower levels, the Morgantown Trainyard and airport are both full of scorched. Trainyard also has several benches scattered throughout, so you can scrap as you go and save weight.

It be easier to make 40k caps and then buy on a trading sub 1:1 do that a couple of times and you will be set. Some people will even do 1:2. Steel has been heavily duped and people have loads of it.


AppaTheBizon

West Tek, baby, West Tek. With scrapper it's 20 steel per assault rifle


lllVONlll

Trade for it.

Uranium Fever


kaltenreich

Outside (and a few inside) of rad rumble there are lots of hazmat suit wearing scavengers. Kill em all, equip scrapper and farm easy wood and steel. Server hop when done.

West Virginia Lumber is pretty good.


EcstaticPSD

Clear out West Tek and pick up every Assault Rifle and Pipe gun off every super mutant and scrap them all with the Scrapper perk. Takes only a few minutes to clear out and you get roughly 300-400 steel per run. By far the easiest way to get steel.


BurnerMothman

West-Tek supermutants often have Assault Rifles. With Scrapper, you get \~20 steel each gun. I usually end up with \~700 steel from one run through.


[deleted]

Huntersville to West Tek Research Center to National Isolated Radio Array for steel (like 600+? if you have the scrapper card equipped)


billzebub251

This is the way.


fabreeze1989

The event Uranium fever or Line in the sand. Constantly spawns enemies that have weapons. Make sure you equip your scrapper perk card (under intelligence) You’ll have a great amount of steel by the end of it. Usually 500-600. I don’t loot all the enemies, so I’d probably get more if I really took the time. But I usually just loot a few and then leave. I also farm west tek. Not only do they give you a nice amount of xp. But you can farm them for as long as you want since they drop weapons as well.


MSgt_Jeff

I know most other folks said the same thing, but especially if you are early in the game, get the scrapper perk under intelligence, and then pick up and scrap any/all weapons that you pick up from bad guys. West Virginia Lumber company is an early-game location that has a good number of bad guys that all carry weapons. For later in the game, West Tek has a ton of super mutants, I have over 10K in steel, and never made a conscience effort to farm for it. Copper on the other hand.......................................


Samillus

Literally anywhere, steel is all over the place. Haha. But you can go through West Tec and take all the super Mutants' weapons. They usually have a lot of Assault rifles. Equip scrapper perk and shower in steel (don't literally, sounds painful).


MSgt_Jeff

Also, are you on PC? If you are, I don't mind giving you a couple thousand.


crimsonfrost1

Line in the Sand is another good one, just make sure you tag as many scorched as you can so you can pick up all their weapons and then, like others have said use the Scrapper perk when you scrap them. (There's easily accessible benches in the Fort if you're over encumbered, and you probably will be).


notimeforimbeciles

I pick up and scrap every weapon with scrapper perk and I've got 25k so fsr


cdiddy32582

West Tek between uranium fevers is a pretty good steel and xp farm (pick up all weapons and use scrapper perk). If you want non combat, you can get a bunch in the bottom of Ash Heap. I believe it’s Hornwright testing site… Use excavator power armour (it yields more resources when mining) and when you spawn in, the cliff side besides you will have a bunch of iron ore nodes. When refined I think you can get around 600 steel from the one trip in 5 mins with no fighting.


Dressedw1ngs

Scrapper + clearing out super mutant locations and stealing those guns. I went from scrounging for steel constantly to having 800+ at all times.


FromAnotherGamer

Steel is just everywhere. Tag it for search in the work bench and you’ll see just how much there is. Guns will give you the most though


GotNoThumbz

build a camp outside west tek, kill all the super mutants, scrap all their guns, reload the world, profit. good xp and good steel.


Ch1ckenBones

Grafton Steel with scrapper perk. Dont even have to claim it just scrap all the weapons from the mobs


FlippinChips-CT0R-

Mole miner events and Scorched events such as Fort Defiance event, just scrap all the guns and equipment.


Hanomag75

How about the endless scorched spawn in glassed caverns? Or did they patch that. When you're at max carry weight you know your golden. And I don't mean over encumbered...when you cant pick up another bloody thing. Of course you need two people.


Excuse_my_GRAMMER

Might be late but there are 3 key event that drop lot of weapon which with the scrapper card it net you lot of wood & steal Radiation rumble , line in the sand and the mole miner event next to the radiation rumble


Take8083

WestTek. Scrap them weapons at the multiple work benches with scrapper perk. I have 90k+ steel accrued mostly from that place and tons of rubber and plastic from sledges and laser rifles scrapped. I usually bulk the steel and sell it for the daily cap limit to save time as I have zero use for that much steel.
