Bite By Daylight How to Farm Scrap

Scrap is the shared unlock currency in Bite By Daylight. You spend it on killers like The Project and The Doppelganger, survivor classes like Medic and Fighter, plus skins and emotes. This guide focuses on reliable Scrap — the kind you earn by playing well — and treats promo codes as optional bonuses that often do not exist.

For onboarding context see Getting Started. For shop targets see Players Hub and the Tier List Hub. For code status see the Codes Hub.

How Scrap usually enters your account

While exact payout formulas can shift after patches, players consistently earn more Scrap when they:

• Finish matches instead of quitting after one down
• Contribute to the win condition (objectives as survivor, pressure as killer)
• Stay active through the full night toward 6 AM or a clean wipe
• Avoid idle penalties from AFK farming attempts that waste everyone’s queue

Treat Scrap as a byproduct of good games, not a separate minigame. The habits that raise your win rate also raise your wallet.

Survivor farming habits

Play classes that keep you alive longer

Dead players stop earning meaningful contribution. Customer’s self-heal and Medic’s sustain both keep you in the round. Early on, Customer is enough — you pay zero Scrap to learn the maps while still collecting end-of-match payouts.

Prioritize objectives you can finish

A completed generator is visible value. Hovering a stalled gen while the killer farms your teammates teaches nothing and often ends in a free down. Rotate to unfinished tiles when a chase drifts away.

Stack roles when you have friends

Security Guard information plus Medic heals converts more sunrises. More wins usually means better average Scrap per hour than five disconnected Customers throwing peels.

Killer farming habits

Main The Rotten while learning

The free killer costs nothing to die on. Every match played on The Rotten is Scrap that is not being spent yet plus practice that later makes paid killers worth the price.

End games cleanly

Long stall fests where you refuse to pressure objectives can drag your Scrap per hour down even if you eventually win. Mix chase conversion with gen denial as taught in How to Play Killer.

Do not throw for style stats

Emoting on a looped survivor while two gens pop is expensive comedy. Farm the clock, then farm the clip later on Medal with #bitebydaylight.

Codes — useful when real, useless when fake

Community-tracked Bite By Daylight codes appear irregularly. At many checkpoints, including recent wiki checks, no widely verified active public codes were confirmed. When a real code drops:

1. Redeem it in Settings → Code box (Codes Hub walks through the steps)
2. Spend it on a power unlock, not an impulse emote
3. Return to match farming — codes are spikes, not salaries

Never complete surveys, download random executors, or log into phishing sites promising “unlimited Scrap.” Those paths risk the account more than they fill the wallet. Script “farms” covered on the Scripts Hub carry ban risk and are not a strategy.

What to buy first (Scrap value order)

Use this order unless a patch wildly retunes prices (confirm in-shop after Updates):

1. Medic (~800 Scrap community reference) — team-wide impact
2. Security Guard (~1,100) — information wins pubs
3. Fighter (~1,350) — once you can Parry
4. The Project (~4,500) — killer ceiling upgrade
5. Technician (~1,600) or The Doppelganger (~6,000) — specialty unlocks
6. Cosmetics last

These prices reflect the Bite By Night-style shop pattern BBD recreates; live BBD tags may differ. Details: Survivors, Killers.

Hourly planning for busy players

Time box	Plan
20 minutes	Two focused matches on Customer or The Rotten — no shop browsing mid-queue
45 minutes	Three to four matches; note Scrap delta; resist cosmetic purchases
Weekly	Check Codes once, then dump saved Scrap into the next tier unlock

Short, focused sessions beat four-hour tilt marathons where you buy the wrong killer out of frustration.

Mistakes that waste Scrap

• Buying The Doppelganger before you can patrol as The Rotten
• Spending on skins while you still lack Medic
• Quitting matches early and wondering why progress is slow
• Trusting BBN codes to redeem in BBD automatically
• Paying for script key systems that steal sessions instead of granting currency

Synergy with the rest of the wiki

• Know who is worth buying → Survivor Tier List / Killer Tier List
• Know how to play them → Guides Hub
• Know when patches change payouts or prices → Updates Hub
• Know safe links → Links Hub

Farm patiently. The players who unlock The Project with intention play it better than the players who rush the purchase on day one and blame the kit.
