Elite Scavenger



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 s or even s.

Appearance
Elite Scavengers are nearly identical to a regular s, with the notable exception of their antlers facing downwards.

Combat
Elite Scavengers are able to throw s at an angle, making them far more difficult to dodge. This gives a large advantage against the on most terrain. Unlike regular s, Elite Scavengers usually prefer to wander alone when traveling, making it easier to confront them head-on. Stealth is also quite effective, allowing the player to catch them off-guard.

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

Reputation
It is significantly harder to get an Elite Scavenger on your side than a regular ; they will often still try to attack the even if the  has a high reputation with s.

Trading
Trading with them works identically to regular Scavengers.
