Avenging fallen scouts is not worth it IMHO

[Judas Iscariot]

Avenging fallen scouts feels like a trap for me. Now, I am not the best or the worst player of this game but the creatures that pop up when avenging a scout or when you get an infected scout seem to be a bit more powerful than the usual mobs and the infected ones just spam fire so much it's difficult to avoid getting shot.

I actually like when games with online connectivity give you the modern equivalent of another player's bone files (old school roguelike players will know what bone files are :P)

That said, I kind of avoid avenging scouts but what's your take on the avenging scouts mechanic?

I find it's usually worthwhile, it depends on the zone as some allow you much more room to evade than others, if I suspect the fight may be awkward I'll just salvage.

In my experience they'll typically drop 2 or 3 heals along with the rest of the loot, which is usually enough to ensure I come out with a net gain health wise, the only loss being adrenaline level if I take a hit.

If your ether is already capped out at 30 though it's probably better to just avoid the risk and salvage instead.

I would salvage but Jesus H. Bleepin' Christ is the ether cost of 3 annoying when doing so in the Overgrown Forest area. I don't have much luck finding loads of ether soooo yeah...
