Scrappers are one of the easiest enemies to face in Horizon Forbidden West. The biggest threat they pose is in their Plasma elemental effect attacks. This can be easily taken care of by attacking and removing the machine’s Plasma Cell. This will prevent it from using any Plasma attacks.

Cauldron

In Horizon Forbidden West, Cauldrons allow players to override the machines within that Cauldron once they have completed it. Completing a Cauldron usually means traversing through its dungeon-like corridors and facing off against a boss at the end. The Scrapper is a part of the MU Overrides Cauldron.
