Scrap

A player deciding on scrap upgrades. Click to expand

Scrap is a campaign mechanic for Greenskins factions.

It was added in The Total Waaagh! Update for Total War: Warhammer II in May 2020, as part of a large overhaul of the Greenskins. As such, it is not present in the first game.

How it works

Scrap is a special resource generated by Greenskins factions. The total amount of scrap your faction has is indicated in the top center of the screen on the campaign map.

This resource can be spent on units, to give them a Scrap Upgrade. Characters cannot get scrap upgrades.

Once a unit has been upgraded, it can't receive another upgrade, so choose wisely.

You can generate scrap by:

• Completing Quests
• Some Dilemmas

Action	Scrap
Battle (per victorious battle)	+1
Raze settlement (per settlement)	+15

List of upgrades by unit

  • Armour +25
  • Cost: 20 Scrap
  • Goblins
  • Orc Big 'Uns

  • Cost: 20 Scrap
  • Goblins
  • Night Goblins
• Padded Shields
  • "These shields are well 'evy! Da moment things get 'airy, I's droppin' it!"

  • Cost: 20 Scrap
  • Orc Boyz
  • Orc Big 'Uns
  • River Trolls (50 Scrap)

  • Ammunition +45%
  • Cost: 20 Scrap
  • Goblin Archers
• Heavy Ammo

  • +15% Physical resistance
  • Cost: 20 Scrap

  • +10 Bonus vs. infantry
  • Snotling Pump Wagons
  • Nasty Skulkers
  • Feral Wyvern

• Blinkers
  • A beast that can only see forwards will only charge forwards. A bit of prodding in the backside helps too!
