I have ben doing solo scouts, due to scav players being scarce, and not having any luck. I look for the "weakest" gang and get STOMPED. I look for traders and get STOMPED. I look for whatever and get STOMPED.

Anyway, my point is the only way I get vehicles is in the ANC's and then even those are garbage, which is why I get stomped out in the wild. I would like any advice anyone could give me.

Until you get a mechanic up to 50, you are stuck with C armor and damaged chassis. And anything you do win will be beat up and garbage also. It is very tough to get started in Scav. Your primary goal should be to get a mech to 50 so you can run better armor and fix chassis.

Scouting is more of a patience game also. You will need to run the AI out and try to pick one off at a time.

Oh, I realize that, but I just can't seem to out pace them or anything at this point. Not to mention every time I go out on a scout with my mech they seem to get killed or don't earn any skill increases.

To get mech increases, you need to destroy cars. Use a phoenix (hopefully with 4L) with rear facing guns to help gain speed. If you can only pull two cars you have a good chance of surviving, and front armor shot cause fires so you will destroy the cars and get mech gains.

How does destroying the cars help? I thought you wanted to strip them and refuel, reload, and change tires.

I am finding I get gains salvaging destroyed vehicles. I seem to get no gains when vehicles are intact and no gains from stripping vehicles.

You can check by looking at your gang upon entering looting screen. Then strip vehicles and look at your gang after exiting looting screen.

Edit: At least this has been my observation for the last 3 months since I have been checking.

You won't get the vehicles. The game automatically does a salvage. That is where the guns, ammo, car parts, scrap metal and tires come from.

You scav dudes are hardcore.

I'm having fun in the "easy" game, but I always read the scav posts.

Scav is for true masochists, like people who pull their own teeth.
