Raider outpost batteries

[Jet]

anyone know if outposts still have them? ive yet to see them in mission targets but maybe in their main bases they do? I know pre 19 they used to be able to be stolen just like lamps

They do have batteries in main bases.

They also have them in outposts, but not every single time.

Usually outposts with at least turrets and enemies have a high chance of having those.

damn i just attacked the federations (rimsenal) main outpost with 19 enemies stocked with bionics, 5 turrets but not one battery. Ill try attacking a vanilla bandit camp, because the quests dont trigger them either

Why do you want to steal batteries anywys if you don't mind my asking?

It sounds like you are at a point that you can make as many batteries as you would want considering the size of outposts you are attacking.

They're good for starting fires in enemy bases when raiding, if you can get the jump on them.

I ran into a prison camp (rescue colonist quest) that had two batteries.

No i get that part im more confused on why he needs to steal batteries from an enemy base?

So you don't need to research them and you can steal quite a fair amount very early on in game.
Makes stuff like naked tribal manageable.

Same here ... 2 batteries, eacxh connected to a minigun tower.
I took them both out, out of range of the towers, in order to silence the towers

I like to skip early tech and stealing batteries is very satisfying instead of building them :)
