How to Find Scrap in Scary Baboon Reimagined: Where to Look and How to Stay Hidden

Quick answer

Scrap is found around the abandoned lab you're trapped in — the halls and rooms you explore are your scavenging ground. Move quietly, keep monsters in view and out of reach while you grab it, and sell your haul at the shop for coins and gear.

• Where: around the abandoned lab, in the halls and rooms you explore.
• Quietly: some monsters hear every step you take.
• Watchfully: some monsters only move when you look away.
• For profit: scrap becomes coins and gear at the shop.

Where to find scrap

Scary Baboon Reimagined traps you in an abandoned lab, and scrap is the resource you collect around that lab. Both the game's own description and player guides describe the same habit: you pick scrap up as you explore, then sell it at the shop for gear. You collect scrap while you explore the lab, so the halls and rooms you already pass through are where you'll find it.

If you'd like to get oriented before a run, our all maps overview and lab exploration guide cover the facility in more depth.

A workable order for your first runs

If you're new to the game, community guides suggest a simple three-step order for your first scavenging runs:

1. Explore the lab carefully and keep your movement quiet.
2. Collect scrap while watching for monsters.
3. Sell your scrap at the shop to get gear.

This is player-guide advice rather than an official tutorial, but every step matches the game's stated loop, so it is a dependable way to structure a first run. Our beginner guide covers the rest of the early game.

How to collect scrap without getting caught

The game rewards staying quiet and avoiding being caught, and the monsters roaming the halls are the reason. Each one hunts in its own way, so how you loot safely depends on what is sharing the hallway with you:

Two habits hold no matter which monster is nearby: stay out of monsters' reach, and collect scrap while watching for monsters — looting and looking happen at the same time. Each hunting style also has its own breakdown if you want to go deeper: start with the monster overview, then the specific guides for sound-sensitive monsters, look-away monsters and elevator monsters.

From scrap to gear: the loop that funds your runs

Collecting is only half the job. Scrap turns into survival at the shop:

How the cycle works

1. 01

   Collect scrap

   Pick scrap up around the abandoned lab while watching for monsters.

2. 02

   Sell it at the shop

   Selling scrap at the shop is how you earn coins.

3. 03

   Gear up

   Coins from sold scrap buy the gear that keeps you alive in the lab.

Staying alive longer means more exploring, and more exploring means more scrap — the loop repeats run after run.

For the selling half of the loop, our how to sell scrap guide walks through the shop side, how to get coins covers the currency, and the shop guide plus our best gear picks help you spend what you earn.

Scavenging with friends

You don't have to loot alone: the game lets you team up with friends to survive together while collecting scrap. Our how to play with friends guide covers getting a group together.
