Encounters - thirsty nomads...

[UncivilS3rvant]

Is it random as to whether you get anything from these encounters? First time I gave water, I got the location of a nearby stash. Every time since, nothing.

I've got 34 hours in game. I've probably given water to more than 20 thirsty wanderer groups and not one has ever said anything. Mostly, enemy vehicles seem to spawn nearby as soon as I give them water and then proceeds to run them over. I gave up on it ages ago!

Yes, first time that happened, took out me and the lead nomad. Bloody funny...

Some wanderer groups give u scrap or a location of a stash. Give them water and then go directly to the map and you will explore the stash. The map moves to this place at the moment when u open map.

Random loot and game achivement.

Thank you! I hadn't thought of that.

[UncivilS3rvant]

Me neither. First one had some dialogue, others haven't.

[TRiPWiRE]

I tried opening th map as soon as I shared my water but still nothing. I just run them over now. Because they are stupid.

[UncivilS3rvant]

They're not stupid, just thirsty...

[TRiPWiRE]

That's why they are stupid. There's water sources everywhere!

if you have a 'scout crew' (or whatever it's called in the english version) in a stronghold it's kind of useless, since you already know all the positions within the territory.

I had assumed the thirsty people revealed hidden scrap that wasn't shown on the map via Scout Crews.

Yep...nothing like watching yourself get run down and not being able to do anything about it.

if that's true, i never found a single location, they told me. :P
i was assuming, that they tell me about the 'usual searching areas', because they don't tell me anything anymore since i cleared all the marked locations.

I know this is pretty old thread but if anyone is wondering - I found their respawn point.
It is located right before when you enter the Death Run in Parch Moon. I fast traveled to baloon three times and came back and everytime they were there. Also I found two another wanderers couple meters next to them but that might be just a coincidence.

They are usefull, a certain number of them will increase your level. As far as scrap, there's a certain amount in the game, officially. There are some scraps available which are not tagged and don't count toward game completion. I never actually got any scrap locations from a thirsty wanderer but I may be missing something - I'll try the map thing.
