'''Scrap Metal Shard''' is [[:Category:Tools|Tool]] exclusive to [[Wintermute]].<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
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 [[Wildlife|animal]] carcasses, [[Cloth]] from curtains/pillows, tinder from cardboard, breaking ice for [[Ice Fishing]], and crafting at a [[Work Bench]].<br />
<br />
== Location ==<br />
It is obtained automatically in [[Episode 1: Do Not Go Gentle]], pulled straight out of [[Will Mackenzie|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.<br />
<br />
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]]).<br />
<br />
== Repair ==<br />
Scrap Metal Shard can be repaired with a [[Whetstone]] and the [[Sharpening]] skill, restoring 3% condition to the Shard.<br />
<br />
== Harvesting ==<br />
The Scrap Metal Shard cannot be harvested.<br />
<br />
== Combat ==<br />
Scrap Metal Shard can be used in a [[Struggle]], causing a Wolf some condition damage.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
<br />
* 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.<br />
** 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.<br />
* The Scrap Metal Shard originally could not be repaired with Whetstones in the Predux Wintermute. This was changed in the Redux Episode 1 redesign.<br />
