    Gathering steel

    I'm finding steel to be one of the hardest resources to come by.

    It's scarce around the world and it's also rare to get from disassembling.

    Any tips on how to get it? Locations with numerous steel containers?

    I've had a problem collecting steel for two or three weeks now.

    The brown resource bags have it, but it doesn't seem to be dropping from the True Sons any more. They only drop carbon fibre. I've maxed out on all resources except steel which is in the low hundreds, and virtually only from the resource bags. Is anyone else experiencing this?

    Try farming the True Sons landmarks in the DZ. Rogues can't take material drops from you.

    Interesting tidbit - How doe one know this? - by being gunned down, then leaving with said materials?

    It still drops from TS kills, but it's very rare.

    This is the first week I did not have enough resources to immediately complete the weekly requisition project... obviously steel is the only resource I did not have enough.

    only gear and weapons and the credits that come from destroying these in the DZ have to be extracted , everything else goes straight into the inventory , even the DZ credits that does not come from deconstructed gear goes straight to the player inventory no matter what.

    Yes. You can also farm DZ currency this way. Not particularly fast but DZ vendors are cheap anyway.
