All-purpose plastic is a crucial resource needed for crafting and upgrading various items, but it is not something you can collect directly in its raw form.

Instead, you must gather specific scrap items from the environment and then disassemble them at your base to obtain the plastic.

Here’s the rundown of each type of scrap item you can find:

  • Fuel Tank - 3x All-Purpose Plastic
  • Bucket - 3x All-Purpose Plastic
  • Employee Badge - 2x All-Purpose Plastic
  • Golf Club Head - 2x All-Purpose Plastic
  • Super Glue - 2x All-Purpose Plastic
  • Milk Frothier - 2x All-Purpose Plastic
  • Swimming Ring - 1x All-Purpose Plastic

To collect these scrap items, you need to explore specific areas in the game, such as Secret Harbor, Mirage Monolith Danger Zone, and Red Sands, which are rich in lootable objects that can be broken down.

Below is a more in-depth look at the places where you can collect this scrap effectively:

  • Secret Harbor (Coordinates: 7198, -3249) - This is an early-game location and is recommended for players around level 12. You will find lootable chests containing scrap items. On average, you can expect to gather 50 pieces of All-Purpose Plastic per trip. This makes it ideal for players just starting to gather essential resources for crafting and upgrades​.
  • Mirage Monolith Danger Zone (Coordinates: 6602, -2921) - Once you attain level 15 or above, make your way to this spot. The risk increases with the presence of enemies such as Rosetta Soldiers. While the danger is increased, so are the rewards—this zone provides a higher yield of plastic, and you can collect more than 50 pieces if you thoroughly explore and clear out enemies.
  • Red Sands (Coordinates: 3910, -2488) - This region is designed for players who have reached at least level 40, meaning the difficulty level and the intensity of combat are much higher than in earlier zones. But if you are well-equipped and at the appropriate level this region is rich with lootable scrap items. This area earns its title as a plastic factory for a reason. You can gather up to 300 pieces of All-Purpose Plastic within about 30 minutes of exploring and clearing out enemies​.

Once collected, disassemble them at your base using a Disassembly Bench to extract the All-Purpose Plastic needed for crafting and upgrades. You will likely start needing it around level 10, and it remains relevant all the way through to the endgame.
