Elite Scavengers are a more mobile, aggressive, and powerful variant added in the Downpour DLC. Distinguished by their uniquely shaped s, they have the ability to leap far distances and spawn with more powerful items, such as Electric Spears or even Singularity Bombs.

Combat
Elite Scavengers can angle their spear when thrown curves in an arch direction making it unpredictable and dangerous to dodge. Having a huge advantage against which doesn't share the same freedom with trajectory of their. Though Elite Scavengers usually prefer to wander alone when traveling unlike regular Scavengers, making it easier to confront it head-on with ambushing or camping. Elite Scavengers, like all creatures, don't have the same visual awareness as the player, making it easy to sneak up and predict their pathfinding, catching them off-guard.

Taking the Elite Scavenger's ability to leap into account is important when facing them in combat, as regular Scavengers are not able to dodge spears as easily.
