Overview
- Embark’s full release removed the old Torn Blanket requirement, making the Dog Collar the only item needed for Scrappy’s first upgrade.
- Guides point to residential interiors as the highest-yield search, with Buried City hotspots like Grandioso Apartments, Red Tower, and Santa Maria Houses and Blue Gate spots such as Raider’s Refuge, the Village, and Ruined Homestead.
- Some outlets also cite Spaceport residential areas, but all agree spawns are random and collars can appear in containers or as loose items on furniture, including bins, desks, cabinets, and lockers.
- Players are advised to use the Workshop’s Train Scrappy tracker to flag the collar and to stash it in a safe pocket so it persists through death or failed extractions.
- The collar is described as a rare/blue recyclable item, with some guides reporting stats like 0.8 kg weight, stack up to 15, and roughly 270-coin sell price, and FandomWire notes map access can gate searches, with Buried City after about six matches and Blue Gate after eighteen.
