How about a compromise? Goat and others want no interaction between scav and regular at all. At least yours truly wants more.

What if we said a successful scout in Scav, scouting with regular (because scouting with your friends even if you don’t get anything out of it is still ace) could, at the most, net you just enough scrap metal to maybe rearmour a B vehicle from the fight. So, go out with no mechanic, trash everything with your pickup, and regulars loot no cars/get no scrap, the scav Tagalongs get nothing. But, destroy 14 cars in a hellacious bust up, where regulars loot a landrunner and two V8s? Scav Tagalongs get just enough scrap to fix their B armoured cars, and no more. If you still don’t like this, make them having to score telling hits to get their one or two scrap. There would be nothing in the loot screen for Scav, aside from one or two scrap on a per-Scav-gang basis, even if someone dropped their Turin in the loot. (Is this doable, Sam?)

This is to make Scav not such a lonely experience. They can go out on group scouts for kicks, with the hope to break even.

Good compromise, Goat?

i'm not averse at all to making a mechanism for Scavs to scout with reg players... that way we can show them how to play the game properly in hard mode  :cyclops:

my only concerns are:

1) reg players don't need to loot ammo... scav players do. so take a scav on a massive fight they can load a lorry in and walk away with a mountain of ammo from loot.... which is weird (and why anyone playing scav would want to is beyond me but I think we have seen that anything that is gameable in this game there are some people who would).

2) it would become very east to loot decent cars and 100% kit

so a mechanism that restricted loot to bulk goods would work - it might be a lot of work for sam though.

The points will be seperate anyway.

You’re on the wrong end of the blue marble, sadly. But I will make it a point to do more.

Not the 3 SS ones. I tried to enter a SS Race League event but my normal gang had points- so I couldn't enter my Scav gang.

i would imagine that it is intended to stop people using one gang to interfere with opponents with no intention of playing to win.

Not being an underhand guy (ahem) I didn't think of that.

Goat, you are starting to sound like my brother (Boon).  or play like him...  whichever it is.  you will be entering Ped combat and executing your own team so you can have ALL the points next!  lol

i'm not sure that explaining why it cant be done is the same as doing it :-)

Yes you can as scav. You cant join a league with both norm and scav, you must pick just one. This goes for any league. You would have to withdraw from the league with your normal gang to then allow you to join with scav gang.
