In-game description

Scrap Metal Shard is Tool exclusive to Wintermute.

Overview

The Scrap Metal Shard is identical in functionality to a Hunting Knife, but weighs less (0.30kg vs 0.50kg of a knife). It can be used as a self-defense tool, harvesting animal carcasses, Cloth from curtains/pillows, tinder from cardboard, breaking ice for Ice Fishing, and crafting at a Work Bench.

Location

It is obtained automatically in Episode 1: Do Not Go Gentle, pulled straight out of Will Mackenzie's hand and placed into his inventory during the mission The Crash. The Shard does not appear if the player starts Episode 2 out of order.

If the Scrap Metal Shard is kept in the player's inventory, it may be taken into Episode 2: Luminance Fugue. It is ultimately lost after starting Episode 4: Fury, Then Silence (likely tossed with the rest of Mackenzie's gear by Mathis).

Repair

Scrap Metal Shard can be repaired with a Whetstone and the Sharpening skill, restoring 3% condition to the Shard.

Harvesting

The Scrap Metal Shard cannot be harvested.

Combat

Scrap Metal Shard can be used in a Struggle, causing a Wolf some condition damage.

Trivia

The Scrap Metal Shard is a fragment of Will Mackenzie's aircraft, with a bloody cloth as a handle. It is impaled straight through Mackenzie's left hand after the plane crash, where he pulls it straight out of his hand upon noticing it. This is considered to be a very unwise first aid practice, as the shard is most likely stopping the majority of the bleeding.
- Afterwards, Mackenzie is required to bandage his hand and a cloth bandage is shown on his hand until the beginning of The Grey Mother, where it disappears along with any sign of the wound on Mackenzie's hand.
The Scrap Metal Shard originally could not be repaired with Whetstones in the Predux Wintermute. This was changed in the Redux Episode 1 redesign.
