Do the narrative mission reward you with Scav goodies instead of the cash that some offer? Also, do you still get those nice training bumps that a few of them have too??


they give you the special rewards... so i have picked up a HFOJ, mortar and other goodies through them. The cash rewards should be substituted for appropriate things


Easily the best first mission for new Scavvers is "Racing For The Mob"
Completion of this mission will bag you a nice shiny new V8 - priceless in Scav for scouter training or interceptor 'Hit n Run' vehicles (which is the safest way to solo early on when your gang isn't large/specced enough for multi car scouts)

When you come to the part of the Mob mission when you have to kill an NPC in a Race- don't attempt it alone. Ask for help from another player/s- I will help if i'm on.

Yes- you do get the training bumps as well

Another thing useful to do as a new Scavver is take part in all the minor leagues- you not only get the prizes (remember that in Scav, a lowly Moray, Corgi, or Bullit is well worth the efoort) but the cash prize is subbed for a Scav prize, and these are MUCH better than normal race prizes. They are better and you get 10. eg: I have won 10 HMG ammo for finishing 3rd in one of the small ELMS leagues.
Also- the prizes are good for trading. There is a ELMS league coming up that will get you a Napalm gun for finishing 3rd!
Offer a Napalm gun to an established Scavver (ME, ME, ME!), and you will be drowning in ammo, engines, repairs etc!

This stage does not require any help at all, IF..... you know what track to do it on.  ;)

Yes indeed, and we all know what track to do it on- but I am giving Scav advice on the thinking of new players

Just got around to racing for the mob but hit a snag whit the prize race. No pro races that match my play times for the whole 5 days. Or i didnt have 1L in the towns or cars and ganger for that matter. 1-2 races per day seems a little low.

I recall Lord Foul bringing this up in the past a few times

This comment sort of goes under this thread. Anyone else notice that torque has released an updated game engine? I wonder if this could put us one step closer to a Darkwind 2

Suggestion: Can we add a note or column to the Events page of the website for Scavs that says what the prize item is? Having to click on every single event looking for useful items is a pain. I'm lazy. Sue me. ;)

I managed to place 2nd against a horde of Flashes in my Phoenix, simply because almost all of them blew out tires.  But 1 didn't, and he easily beat me.  I'm afraid that might have been my best chance at completing this mission.

If you fail a mission, do you ever get a chance to do it again?

Yes.  It should start showing up again, but I am not sure of the timeframe.

The mission should spawn again in 30 days and you meet the minimum fame and rep requirements.

Oh, good.  *phew*  I'd hate to fail on a ton of missions and never get a chance at them because my gang isn't ready for one stage.

Do you get a chance to repeat a mission that you've completed?  Or one time only?

You can only do missions one time. If you fail a mission, you will always have a chance to do it again until you complete it.

Another minor piddling suggestion. If a scav scores a track record, give them 1 more item of the prize type each time. If it doesn't unbalance things, 1 for 3rd, 2 for 2nd, 3 for 1st. That might be too much though, especially if they manage to score 1st each lap.

It is always fun to break an old track record as a scav and see a 20k prize knowing all you get is satisfaction.

I don't think this needs an extra column on the event page. I would think the events table should know it is <<SCAV>> ID logged in, just as the specific event itself recognizes the login ID as a <<SCAV>>. so instead of showing a money prize it would show the <<SCAV>> prize.
