Although Walter mentions that without the scrap metal the pipes will eventually burst again, the pipes will never again break after fixing them for the first time, even if you never give him any scrap metal.If you have The Pitt add-on, a better use for the scrap metal might be to use the Ammo Press in the Mill.You cannot pickpocket scrap metal back from Walter, unlike in The Outcast Collection Agent.In addition, you get a five experience points reward per scrap metal you give Walter. Walter gives you ten bottle caps per scrap metal if you decline payment, you will receive +10 Karma instead. Scrap metal is a very common sight around the Capital Wasteland, often found in tool boxes, inside robots and in merchant inventories. After the pipes in Megaton are fixed, Walter will offer to buy scrap metal from you in order to maintain them. A Repair skill of 30 is required to fix the pipes. When you first meet him, Walter in Megaton asks you to fix three leaking pipes found around the town. Walter's Scrap Metal is a repeatable quest in Fallout 3.
