Metal Scraps[edit]

If the player is not holding anything:
Talk more option tango.png Take them.
Talk end option tango.png Leave it.
If the player is holding a Broken Chair:
Talk more option tango.png Attach the metal to the chair and make a shield.

Notes[edit]

  • Constructing a makeshift shield grants three charges of this effect.
  • One charge is removed when using Block. to block the Militia Member in the training area. Blocking the attacks of regular enemies doesn't remove a charge.
  • Giving the shield to an Unarmed Villager or interacting with a Weapon Crate will remove this effect completely.
  • While the effect is active, your're wielding a weapon with the Improvised Shield Skin.
  • Interacting with a Weapon Crate while holding the completed makeshift weapon will earn credit towards the Up in Arms achievement (one for each of the three different weapon types) and the Junkyard Weaponsmith achievement.
