Newbie scav questions

Fr33Bird WhiteBuzzards Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 18 Joined: Mar 20, 2015 Hello all, I've been playing scav for a bit. I've managed to accumulate some decent vehicles and crew, all sub 50's at the moment. I have only led a few scouts. Tried to pull solo scouts which failed miserably, and tend to go on scouts led by other players. I'm having a problem getting any mech or sct skill. Is this because I'm not leading my own scouts? From an earlier thread that I read, is the optimum solo scout vehicle a pho with 4L with a rear gun so I can run from anything that doesn't spawn my way? ......................... vet wv Posted May 24, 2015, 5:04 pm

Run away if it's too tough... Only take e trader vehicles on if you get good odds. Two cars means more characters skilling up and you will need the,. ......................... vet wv zom pvp4 cont community deathrceL1 marshal pvp3 pvp2 Posted May 24, 2015, 8:36 pm

*StCrispin* Beasts of the Lair Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 2,657 Joined: Feb 13, 2012 Solo scouting is best with a pair of cars. I prefer 3. Reason being: in SS you will always pull 2 to 3 enemy no matter how low your CR is. IMO its best to be even odds car for car especially in Scav where they will have a quality advantage and no "im out of ammo" issues to deal with when choosing what guns to use. Personally I would advise against solo scouting until you have a 35 or better scout (50 is desirable) The best way to get that skill up for scouting is drive ailmessly back and forth to Elmsfield. you will gain 3 to 5 points per round trip. Scout skill doesnt increase much from scouting. I get maybe 1 point for 7 to 8 solo scouts. But you will need a fuel tank resize. Boonwolf or myself or Goat can probably help you there. ......................... vet wv gwped paintladder paintball marshal raceL10,1,0 Posted May 25, 2015, 5:51 am

I am also getting back into SCAV in the next couple of days, and have 100+ mech who can do fuel tank resizes, repair B armour etc ......................... vet ww wv e2g gwextrav sssc northernsummer gateautumn deathrce1 marshal race1 raceL1 combat1 pvp5 pvp4 pvp3 pvp20,1,0 Posted May 28, 2015, 9:29 am

Fr33Bird WhiteBuzzards Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 18 Joined: Mar 20, 2015 Thank you for the info. One question about travelling though. Do I need a fast vehicle for Elms to SS? I thought slavers will still hit you. I have several cans of fuel collecting dust, and I think a truck with a 10 gas tank ......................... vet wv Posted May 31, 2015, 8:08 am

Fr33Bird WhiteBuzzards Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 18 Joined: Mar 20, 2015 Can you have Psi in Scav? The only way I know that you up this is by training in FL. And since there is no training... ......................... vet wv Posted Jun 15, 2015, 7:22 pm

*The X Man* Better Off Dead Darkwind Guru Slavers Faction Group: Game Manager Posts: 2,215 Joined: Jul 25, 2012 Goat would know, but if you were able to hire a character with PSI, it would be as useful as hiring a character with Cyclist. Neither one is gonna help you in scav. ......................... vet wv marshal paintladder zom circuit3 paintball raceL1 race1 pvp4 hammer circuit2 pvp2 circuit1 gwped pvp5 pvp3 pvp1 deathrceL1 triangle1 combatL1 elmsautumn combat1 northernsummer1,3,0 Posted Jun 15, 2015, 9:53 pm

Fr33Bird WhiteBuzzards Pedestrian Renegade Group: Members Posts: 18 Joined: Mar 20, 2015 This might not belong here, but it is a question. Is there anything that attracts mutants to your gang? I had only seen one mutant during recruitment, and that was some time ago. I have recruited 3 in the last week! What have I done? ......................... vet wv Posted Jun 17, 2015, 5:17 am
