Scrap Metal Finding Tips
1 of 3: You can find a few pieces of scrap metal in many places, especially inside toolboxes and "dead" robots.
2 of 3: The three biggest concentrations of scrap metal are in the Robot Repair Center (location 3 on the Zone 6 Map), the Factory Floor area of the RobCo Facility (location 6 on the Zone 8 Map), and the underground Meresti Metro Station area at the Meresti Trainyard (location 6 on the Zone 5 Map).
3 of 3: The Meresti Metro Station has the most (20) lying around, so do the "Blood Ties" misc. quest to get there as soon as you can.
