Cassette Beasts does things a bit differently than your typical RPG. Instead of a traditional currency like gold or coins, you’ll deal in scrap materials: plastic, wood, pulp, metal, and more. These materials act as the primary form of currency in the game and are essential for purchasing cassette tapes, healing items, stickers, and more. If you’re wondering how to stock up, here’s a quick guide on five key methods to gather scrap.

1. Defeat Enemies (Trainers & Wild Monsters)

The most basic and consistent way to gather scrap is by battling. Every time you defeat an enemy—be it a wild monster or a fellow cassette user—you’ll receive scrap. The type of scrap you receive often correlates with the monster’s type. For instance, defeating a Trafficrab typically yields plastic. Some monsters may even drop multiple types of scrap, so experiment to see who provides what.

2. Open Chests and Explore

Throughout New Wirral, you’ll find chests tucked into nooks, behind puzzles, or hidden underground. These often contain stickers, loot, and a significant amount of scrap. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled and explore every corner—solving these small environmental puzzles is worth the payoff.

3. Discard Items to Scrap Them

If your inventory is overflowing with stickers or duplicate items, don’t toss them—scrap them! Almost any item can be converted into useful materials directly from your bag. This is especially helpful when you’ve been collecting a lot of stickers or gear that you no longer need.

4. Defeat Rogue Fusion Monsters

Rogue fusions are harder mini-boss fights found as shadowy figures in the overworld or hidden in chests. Defeating them grants increased experience, loot, and special fused materials—which act as their own form of high-tier currency. These can later be used at the Rangers Guild for rare upgrades. Once you’re in the post-game, you can even use your map to track these fusions down for consistent farming.

5. Capture Monsters and Scrap Their Tapes

Here’s a surprisingly efficient method: catch monsters you don’t need and discard their tapes for instant scrap. Even a level 1 Trafficrab can net you over 30 plastic when scrapped, despite only costing 10 plastic to record. This capture-and-scrap cycle can quickly snowball your resources with minimal risk.
