Often in the Central Wastelands the best way to obtain necessities is to acquire them by force. Because resources are so scarce, drivers must exploit whatever they can find – salvaged materials, people, even garbage. These resources can be the goal of a dangerous mission, the remains of a destroyed opponent, or even a stolen item. Once acquired, this “loot” can be safely stored in storage lockers or sold in cities through a variety of vendors – and those trained in the crafting process can choose to refine them into better materials, as well as use them to build unique pieces of equipment. Many enemies in the wastelands also happen to carry hard currency or an equivalent, making their demise all the more profitable.
