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

Appearance

Elite Scavengers are nearly identical to a regular Scavenger, with the notable exception of their eartlers facing downwards. Their masks can be taken by spearing their head and have the same utility as a regular Vulture Mask.

Tips

Combat

Elite Scavengers are able to throw Spears at an angle, making them far more difficult to dodge. This gives a large advantage against the Slugcat on most terrain. Unlike regular Scavengers, 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 Scavengers are not able to dodge Spears as easily.

Reputation

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

Abilities & Behavior

Trading

Trading with them works identically to regular Scavengers.

Leaping

Elite Scavengers perform a brief animation by leaning back before leaping in the direction they're facing. Elite Scavengers are capable of leaping from great heights, able to reach platforms that usually require climbing up with a pole. Elite Scavengers can utilize this significant mobility to their advantage by leaping behind creatures that pose a threat and throwing a Spear upon landing before the creature can react or leaping away from a threat to make some breathing room and recuperate before coordinating their next moves.
