How to Craft — TWD Online 3
Crafting arrived as a core V3 Beta system — open your inventory Craft tab to turn scavenged materials into bandages, torches, and metal tools without relying on rare medical spawns alone. This guide explains every confirmed recipe observed in July 2026 community footage, where to farm rags and metal scraps, and how crafting interacts with hunger runs and weapon durability.
Opening the Craft Menu
Press G (PC) or the bag icon (mobile) to open inventory, then select the Craft tab. Available recipes highlight when you carry required materials. If a recipe is greyed out, loot more rags, metal scraps, or wood from suburban houses and Farmhouse POI — see locations guide.
Confirmed Recipes (Beta)
- Bandages — Craft from rags; essential when Alexandria food runs leave little med loot.
- Torch / flashlight — Craft for dark interiors; police stations and bunkers need light.
- Metal tools — Metal scraps combine into melee or utility items depending on patch pool.

Material Farming Routes
Rags drop from residential dressers in King County and Woodbury. Metal scraps appear in garages, PD, and industrial sheds. Chain a Farmhouse pass into a crafting session at Sanctuary before pushing military zones. Manage inventory slots via our inventory guide — materials compete with guns for space.
Crafting recipes may expand during Beta. Watch the update log after Discord patches.
