Scavengers. They're all over the place. They're annoying, dumb, and stupid. Or are they really? In this video, I take a deeper look into the lives of these Scavengers, and share everything there is to know about these fascinating creatures.

First ever tutorial. Can't say that much about it because I'm unsure of how well I did.
Considering the fact that this is the first guide to Scavengers on YT, (Aside from Grant's Guides), I'd say I did a good job.
At the very least, I hope you enjoyed it.

I FORGOT WE HAD A STREAM TONIGHT OMG 😭
ty bro, learned a TON from this video, also i read and watched ALL of the scavenger trait sections and i have a headache
I was three hours late but I loved this
Why are there red and blue pearls to? Are they mainly for reputation or trading?
@@lisagolden6933 special colored pearls are lore pearls
Moon gives you unique dialogue when you give them to her
nothing is funnier than a scavenger randomly going wide-eyed seconds before an explosion or after they see you, since it always looks like they're just saying "SHIT!"
i saw one do that after 'accidently' killing me (i swear no overseer was in front of me it did it on purpose even tho i had chieftain-)
@@NightmareGlitchFox I mean, looking at the personality stats, if it was low on Bravery and high on Aggression and Nervousness than you could've just spooked it and it responded with immediate lethal force (as you do)

SHIT THAT WAS A FRIENDLY
Once I met a brown scavenger who was really fast and really wanted to kill me and my sibling (we were playing jolly co-op) and we nicknamed it the cat killer
Hiya pastel
"he is brown and wants to kill me" yea sounds about right
@@chickennuggetman2593 oh no
The doom slugger?
Once I met a scavenger that successfully dodged about five spears and two rocks thrown by me, and walked away like nothing happened without killing me. Absolute gigachad
I remember a scavenger buddy i had
I was climbing towers feeling like rain was coming and i remembered where a den to hibernate was
And i get there just to see a group of scavengers running to a pipe with a vultute chasing after, and well the vulture got the one in the back, feeling bad i proceeded to stab the vulture twixe and it fell over and dropped the scavenger (i was new to vultures so i wasn't sure how much they took to die)
So there was me standing around a vulture seemingly taking a breather as the scav just stares at the vulture
T h e n the vulture came to life and quick turned on me grabbing me in like a instant, luckily we were in a spot with a ceiling so it couldn't fly off instantly and well
The scav saved me back, we then proceeded to stab the vulture a l o t, making it run off, almost immediately after it started to rain
So I went to the den to hibernate, and to my surprise the svav followed in so we hibernated together, and they started following me afterwards, a few cycles later and we found the rest of the tribe, sadly for me i lost my scav companion, but also at the same time im now glad he found his freinds (and safer then being with me)
Animated movie coming when?
amazing story lmao, most of my encounters with scavs are either just quick pearl tosses or them violently scrambling the contents of my skull with a spear.
Ok this was wholesome
:)
most of rain world scenarios can make some good movies
Most epic scenario I ever got with scavs was when I befriended one and since we were in industrial complex we were really far away from the tribe, so he followed me to garbage wastes, then he fell into some pit with a green and purple lizards, he poor soul only had one spear and I was like "NOOO" and jumped in obliterated the purple and we both stun locked the green to death (somehow he didn't throw a spear at me) then we found a toll and he stayed with them, best bud ever....
3:08 "they use gestures such as: pay up, come through and ew a nasty slug thing let's kill it"
Ok as a human its enough to convince me about the sentience of these AI
I've always loved scavengers. I nearly cried when one that I was trying to befriend was stolen from this world by a lizard.
The good die young
And then respawned because cycles
@Jessie . shidd u right
@@jessiesowterhey're not the same creature if you hibernate after they die though (as in not the same scav, i'm not saying they'll suddenly become a lizard)
Become Artificer’s Opposite
I've once had a whole group of straight killers follow me around. They kept stabbing a dead cyan lizard and accidentally killed one of their own doing so. Like holy shit I think their aggression values were off the charts.

I never understood how "playing hard to get" could possibly work on anyone until I met the scavengers.
WHY WON'T YOU ACCEPT MY LOVE?!
The half life sounds with the scavengers in the den just broke me I don’t know why it is so damn funny
Excuse me, Gordon

10:29 actually, its pretty much the opposite! The yellow overseer respawns every time you kill it within a couple cycles. This makes it very useful as a steady supply of eyes if you're short on pearls, and it doesn't impact the overseer's attitude towards you at all.
the overseers have attitudes?
@@indeepjable If you kill moon it will (understandably) get angry and stop helping you
@@ashfur3453 OH FUCK I WAS WONDERING WHERE IT WENT
@@morningstar8496 You killed moon? You monster!
@@ashfur3453 I ONLY ATE ONE BRAINCELL
There's also another reason to kill scavengers, and it's the fact that if you have a pet lizard, the scavs will always try to kill it, even if your reputation with both the scavs and the liz are maxed
Edit: Apparently there's an option to get rid of this in Downpour, thanks for telling me on the replies, I can't play the dlc for now :/
I didn't know that
Prob wouldn't have brought it up even if I did, cuz then I would have to go into LIZARD reputation and that could be a video on its own
i am pretty sure that tamed lizards will also try to murder each other
Well, no
@@xdarin_ that’s correct
Once I had a cyan lizard and then tamed the red one, in next cycle red murdered cyan
@FblB not entirely. its dependant on the type of lizard and its own personal stats. Red lizards are the most aggressive (having a 100% attack rate even with their own kind) congrats on taming one tho
I read all the behavioral traits, so fascinating
Ik right
Can't believe the game's been out for years yet no one's talked about it
@@brandflakesinc.9350 yea it's crazy
Same a long time ago I read about the different hand signals and everything. They are the most interesting creature in the whole game

11:42 vultures actually have a strange system, like a bounty where after losing their masks will have a chance to follow you for the proceeding cycles
Interestingly, maskless vultures are attacked by still masked vultures.
Playing the game before the community grew large, it was very immersive to slowly realise and aclimate to thier surprising ai
Something I like to do when interacting with scavs is this, once you achieve The Chieftain you have basically been accepted as a scav and can act like one, biggest benefit to that is if you need spare weaponry you can just borrow there weapons and most likely they will just look shocked and won’t become aggressive, just remember to give back to the tribe every once and awhile so your aren’t seen as a leech.
Also a opportunist tip, when you see a scav kill a overseer if they don’t rush to pick up the eye just mosey on over to it and give it them, helps build trust a lot… just be careful you don’t get skewered by a scav trying to snipe a overseer.
Scavengers not only communicate with body language, but respond to yours as well! Even if your not trying to convey any.
If you crouch down, keep your distance, and put your weapons down, they are much less likely to attack.
But if you have a weapon, jump around, and get really close to them, they are much more likely to attack.
This depends on reputation though. If you have a good reputation, they will respond less to aggressive body language, but if you have a bad reputation, they will respond to it more and be more likely to ignore calm body language.
That’s all I know, and I’m not sure if it helps build reputation or decreases it instead of just making them more or less likely to attack.
They are incredibly predictable once you learn how to use this body language.
This is why people think of them as unpredictable and trigger happy, and why they “kill you for no reason”
They haven’t learned that they use body language yet, and have been jumping around and running at them with weapons.
The problem is trying to predict them as AI, thinking that they’re all going to act and respond the same, never change their route, and be robotic.
But rain world doesn’t just have procedural animation, it has procedural AI.
They adapt and keep experiences.
If you killed a white scavenger last cycle, it will hate you the next cycle.
And if instead you gave that scavenger a pearl last cycle, it will be kind to you the next and maybe defend you.
The first time I played Rain world, I had no idea about any of this, but I’ve always treated NPCs and AI like people in games because I’m a wittle baby.
So I did the same in Rain World, but the difference is that it had an effect.
I had social anxiety around the scavengers, crouching down, giving them my weapons, keeping my distance, saving them from lizards and vultures and being wary of the ones with narrow eyes, even though I thought it didn’t do anything.
I ended up having a really easy time with them, actually, more than easy, beneficial.
I didn’t even know you had to pay a toll because they just let me through, and they saved me so many times.
I never actually traded with them, and only ever just gifted them things, and would fight vultures for them.
I would immediately kill myself and restart the cycle after I accidentally hit one, and cry a little after they died.
I tried hunting down the things that killed them too, dragging their bodies back to the scavengers so they can watch me teabag it.
Absolute bffs me and them. The best creatures ever in the world. I love their design and how they act and they are just so perfect.
You can imagine my surprise after I found out the rest of the fandom hated them, because they were my favorites.
They said that they were unpredictable trigger happy murderers, I thought that while they can be aggressive, that’s only when prompted, and really easy to avoid.
But after comparing my play through to others, I saw the differences before being struck with the realization that the scavengers actually responded to my weird attachment and treatment of NPCs.
It felt so weird to know that the entire time, they were the things I pretended they were.
It was like talking to a dog, while it secretly understands English.
The next few times I played, I actually felt like they were watching me and I was so paranoid.
After trying hunter though? Yeah I’m not sad when they die or scared of them anymore, and after doing more research on their AI, they are much more predictable and their friendship is more like an exchange.
I just don’t personify them as much anymore and when I have limited cycles or an objective, they feel more like obstacles, but still my favorite.
@@coconutmomentyeah Going blind in rain world makes me love this guys too. Never have been a friend like you, but always keep respect with them and they kept distance of me. Thats our deal. Rain world is awesome.
@@coconutmomentyeah i went in blind playinh rain world, first time i saw one, i though they were just another predator and i killed them, now after watching this video, i realise the error of my mistakes lol
@@coconutmomentyeah me when I put my spear down and crawl up to a scavenger giving it a pearl, only to get stabbed in the face
@@storm_fling1062 You were either playing hunter who has low global reputation with scavengers at the start, or artificer who has -100 reputation with them, or you just got particularly unlucky with that scavenger's personality.
8:41 killed me not because of the audio but because of the scavenger diving at terminal velocity
14:15 Not only just two, I have two more reasons, you can use their corpses to tame lizards (decent for all lizards, especially great for red lizards, as it takes much less compared to other food items), and the second reason is to save your lizard friend from the evil monkeys.
in the comunnity there is 2 types of people, the scav hater and the other that is the lizard haters( which is i am, i really love the monkey)
The 5th reason is because of what they did to artificers pups
@@theradiantbeast3478 #Artydidnothingwrong
@@thethunderchieftain5464 *_Agreed._*
@@thethunderchieftain5464 While i agree artificer did nothing wrong, scavengers weren't as much in the wrong as people perceive them to be.
I'm surprised that despite mushrooms being drugs, they're really cheap on rep.
Also, if a nomad scavenger sleeps in a shelter with you for any reason, they become your follower for the next cycles (like Daszombes' scav wife)
Maybe it’s because they don’t have the same reaction we do when consuming mushrooms. Different creatures respond to chemicals differently.
(pretty obvious but) failed shelters are actually exempt from this! i got a failed one in chimney canopy and a white scav had managed to sneak in with me prior, every cycle i died he always (understandably) ran off. very unlucky lol
Hey, I know it's been a wiles since you commented this, but could you give a link to the aforementioned "Scav wife" video?
@@Demavuratheannoying I am _actually_ going insane trying to search for it.
_-...more insane than i already was, i mean.-_
The reason drugs are expensive is scarcity.
If you were the only person of the planet with wheat, a LOT of people would be willing to sell their first, second, and third born for it.
I love their intelligence
I havent been attacked by the scavs since I realized I was unintentionally acting scary and threatening, then started lying down and moving slowly till they trusted me
You can actually pick up spears from tolls when they're under attack to fight the predator (usually a vulture tbh) and they won't hate you for it. Also if you have a weapon and don't fight the predator you get a small reputation hit.
Rainworld AI (especially scavs) is something that is so interesting so thanks a lot for making this video! It sucks that there isn't that much rainworld content like this in the game community because honestly I could listen to useless information and fun facts about rainworld all day. It's such a neat little game ❤️
It is an incredibly cool game.
I do have plans to make other videos like this, though they’ll probably be delayed for a while with downpour
Not that I’m complaining
12:39 My goodness, scavengers talk to you? This game is so full of details, it is hard to believe!
It’s pretty wild
what do they be saying doe?

Something weird about Scavengers I've observed is that idle groups of them seem to experience periodic, rhythmic pulses of some sort.. They all twitch in sync, and sometimes bug out or boggle their eyes during this quick blink of a period. It's especially visible with Toll tribes as they're the only ones who sit still in big enough groups, long enough to see it.. I'm not really sure what to make of it. I need to observe other Scav tribe types in action to see if they do the same thing (if my memory serves, I think they do.) Perhaps it's some kind of link to each other, something psychic, if you will? Since they seem to have no other way of communicating besides gestures, but they're clearly intelligent enough to have relatively coordinated group behaviors. I dunno. What does everyone else think?
probably bc of code limitations and not intended
Absolutely going to go see this for myself by doing safari ... Probably do the toll group in east outskirts. the toll before farm arrays I think?
I am going to try and give them things with the beastmaster mod too. Will they use rarefication, singularity or rifles?
Could the Scavenger AI be modded onto vultures? That wouldn't be a nightmare at all.
This is one of the things I love about rain world, it tells you virtually NOTHING on how the systems work, meaning you have to read signals and figure it out on your own.
I love these guys. Because if you’re standing, they’ll stab you. But if your crawling, they don’t see you as a big threat. They’ll still stab you, but hey.
Legit learnt a lot on scavs, and I'm starting to like the toll guys a lot more from knowing they follow on us just to check up on our slugcat, yeah even if they're trigger happy with spears, also the jokes were hilarious, kudos.
Hopefully you get a nice grade, gl
Pretty good, concise video. I think the only thing missing is an examination on the way the different modes impact your experience with Scavs. The difference between Survivor and Monk kind of just comes down to increased rep gain for Monk. But Hunter starts at -30 which will make most of them try to kill you, unless you roll a particularly docile individual Scav. But the routing for Hunter is designed intelligently around this in that virtually all Scav activity in or around Farm Arrays is Toll, and the Sky Islands route leads to a lot of areas with only minimal Scav roving. So a smart player can either route around them or build rep quickly in a controlled environment. A heat map of global Scav activity would probably be more or less like a nucleus of Scavs in GW, IC, and SC and relatively little noise in the outer areas, so I think the designers understood a need for players to have the option to take a longer route around them.
1:21 "Enough talking" i hate/love that my brain immediately followed this up with "have at you! [throws spear]"
awesome video! always nice to see scavengers getting some love, they're one of my favorite parts of the game. i always want to save them when i see them in trouble, but i'm garbage at combat so i usually just try and bring them any cool things i find to make up for it. if you're reading this, hope you're having a nice day!
“HAVE AT THEE”
gotta say, this was actually a very informative video, even for someone who accidentally got the chieftain achievement
9:10
Dont underestimate the jellyfish
It can be used to kill nearly any creature safely if used properly
“No that’s not called trading that’s called armed robbery” cuts to “London” was funny
You know, kinda wish I saw this earlier. You would've saved many scavenger lives...
In my defense, they started it. I first found one randomly as I was exploring. I had a cherrybomb and a spear in my hands (I was going through territory I knew to have many lizards). The scav just sat there. So did I. After a few seconds of staring contest, seeing it didn't attack me, I regurgitated a pearl I had (I didn't know they like them so much, I just hadn't yet found a use for those) been keeping for many cycles. The scav gets visually excited so I pick up the pearl instead of the cherrybomb and proceed to get closer. Out of nowhere 3-ish scavs emerge from hidden pipes and start throwing rocks and spears at me. I run away and after following me for a bit they stop with the spears above heads animation.
That interaction changed the course of my story from "the explorer" to "the scav hunter".
I'll return and see if it's not too late to make friends with them. Thank you for this awesome and informative video!
And yes, I did read everything in the nerd round. Do not underestimate me.
Have a good day lads
Play artificer. Scav genocide
these guys really are unbelievably expressive for silly indie game AI creatures,, glad i could really learn about the bigger picture with the video B)
Wow I never knew there was hidden shelters made by scavs thanks brandon.
scavs are my favorite and i always try to befriend them or at least make them like me, not only because theyre less of a threat but also because i feel bad hurting them. theyre so scrunkly and i love watching them interact with the world n stuff
Ever since I played artificer, the image of scavs hauling deer skulls up the wall, into metropolis has been in my head.
"I'm going to be uncovering the many mysteries of the *most intelligent race* of rain world's creatures."
no one:
the ancients and the iterators:
They were too stupid to turn of their gaming PCs before going to sleep in the eternal darkness. The scavengers deserve to inherit that world
Kudos! Never would have guessed this was your first tutorial. GIVE US MORE 😬
Planning to do another one in the future, will take some time tho
i managed to get high enough rep that they decided to babysit me and follow me into shelters. one of the hardest things to do in this game is to leave a shelter when it's clogged by 4 very comfortable scavs
Really liked this. Thank you for making it. I have 2 questions though.
1. You said helping scavs fight enemies makes them like you more. But that's still dangerous though isn't it? You also said later on that attacking the scavs will anger them. So what happens when you accidentally kill a scav or 2 while attempting to help them? Does that still count against you?
And 2. Could you please make a video about rain world's lizards? Because I find BOTH the scavs and the lizards the most interesting and fascinating. Because scavs have a karma system. And lizards can be tamed. (Lol but you cant have the best of both worlds. Scavs hate lizards. And tamed lizards eat everything that isn't you XD)
You are right. Helping Scavengers attack predators is dangerous, as regardless of how high your reputation is, if you kill a Scavenger, they will kill you.
I do want to make a lizard video, but I probably won't get around to making it for a while (due to downpour coming out + hollow knight guide in december)
I would have responded sooner but I didn't get a notif 4 ur comment srry
@@brandflakesinc.9350 no worries. RUclips does that to me quite a bit. And I'm glad that's what you were thinking. Because I too was going to suggest waiting until after downpour update. I can't wait. I can't wait. I want to zoom around with the tongue boi so badly. 😖

I don’t know much about this game(as I don’t own it or have never played it) but I have heard of a mode called “safari mode” that is supposedly with the downpour dlc? Don’t quote me on that but check it out

@@brandflakesinc.9350 Thanks man! Love ur videos!!
I remember being so confused by tolls my first time. I only made it to the ocean and I was so frustrated with the scavengers because I was like LET ME BE FRIENDS WITH YOOOOU
Drainage system scavengers and I are the best of buddies :) and it was so good and we saved them so many times that they basically saw me as their leader and followed me around and kept saving me , they brought me food and when I had to finally leave, I left two colored pearls, and when I got to shaded citadel after a looong journey, I was welcomed (I guess word got out i was a friend of the scavengers; as I instantly was let through tolls for free, and gave pearls to every single time I saw scavengers. Well once I got to shaded, I was greeted and given a lamp and food, and they protected me all the way through until I had to leave to go to the scissor bird place, (which it looked like they literally waved like the toll guy.
Dude, you basically gave solid chunks of gold to ancient European tribes every time you met them, saved their members from death multiple times, and basically gave them two chunks of platinum as a farewell gift. Of course you’d be welcomed as if you were Christ visiting Lepers!
"I smell pearls!"
Lol, that bit/part there just made me laugh. This did help me understand more on the Scavengers even if I don't have the game myself. Anyways, keep this all up!
12:21 Thank God I’ve only just made it to moon and one time I went into a stronghold room then accidentally threw an explosive spear I was trying to put down, this unsurprisingly blew everything up I was worried my reputation was going to be destroyed for destroying at least ten weapons
This was an amazingly put together video! Well done
Imagine yourself, on the way to the store. Suddenly, the suppliers of said store pop out of the alleyway, mug you, and run off. Merchants!
Loved the style of this video and the information contained in it!! Very funny and engaging, plus I learned a lot :)
I feel bad for killing a scavenger merchant
8:40 that made me laugh I wasn’t expecting that
I don’t even play this game, but scavengers are like, my favorite species in this game:D
I just found dis channel, looks great
Glad you like it
This is the first video I saw from you but damn I loved it. This video actually made me chuckle and laugh out loud at some parts. Keep up the work and I loved watching this
One time I tried to throw a pearl at a scavenger, and instead threw a spear and he has remained my only kill of something bigger than me
hey i wanted to thank you for this, it helped a friend of mine with their first playthrough of rain world & I can now play with them togheter whitout having to explain everything about scavengers, this guide is well made & really helps a lot, i also love your content!
That makes me really happy to hear that
Happy to have been of help
Btw the yellow overseers do respawn tho it is kinda random like , sometimes you can go to another room and it respawns sometimes it takes an intire cycle
Thanks for making an informative video about the behavioral traits about my species
Nice video! i've enjoyed it a lot, and yes yellow overseers do respawn
Nice guide bud
Helped me understand scavengers alot.
this was just so fucking amazing to watch
i didnt think they were so complex
the funnest shit i found on the wiki was the fact scavs have a stat that is just how likly they will randomly attack you because they feel like it.
Good work mate👏 waiting for downpour as everyone
Great video. First time to your channel and it was informative and very funny
I looked into the lore of this game and it was incredibly sad but this video cheered me up quite a bit.
Great video, I tried looking in the Rainworld wiki for info on reputation and got not much. Thanks for this vid!
I like that your trying new stuff:)
04:31 "Scavenger strongholds are the only vents in the game without lights"
Flooded shelters, whether they are always disabled in the campaign or due to a precycle, aren’t marked. In addition, there are plenty of "one-way vents" where they only have lights in one direction. Examples I recall the exact position of are an entrance into the Gutter in Chimney Canopy, a vent in the middle of Garbage Wastes in shallow water, and a vent in Shaded Citadel near a shelter in the bottom-most area of the map (not directly next to Memory Crypts, but much more to the West, in a room that contains a kelp)
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDD
Hilariously, afaik, you can steal from tolls and strongholds, only if they don't SEE YOU take from it. Then they just go "oh a fuckin critter"
Fun fact: Scavengers that have very long spines or spiky like spines all over their body usually are highly aggresive, apparently these types of scavs spawn mostly in shaded citadel so watch out while interacting with scavs in shaded citadel
Fantastic video man
I think the 3 karma symbol actually signifies an ally in general
honestly I'm not sure where their reputation for being overly agressive has come from... I'm still fairly new to the game but I've had about a dozen run-ins with scavengers, they've only tried attacking me once (one lone scavenger started pawing at the ground, I'd read that this means they want something I'm holding (I was only holding a spear) so I crouched and dropped the spear, the scavenger picked up the spear, ran away, threw it at me (there was nothing else in the room for it to aim at so I was definitely the intended target) and then left the room. thankfully I had given up on it when it had run away so the throw missed because I was jumping for some platforming)
all other times they've either been eaten almost instantly or have just milled around in a room for a bit before leaving (at which point I always loose track of them almost immediately and never manage to find them again that cycle). as a result I'd gotten an impression that they were skittish and shy, only occationally lashing out to defend each other or when they felt cornered.
We kill for FUN :)
Now I want to see scavager with gun riding a red lizard
I have introduced multiple friends to the game and this video is one of the first things I show them.
Absolutely love it !
I wish there was a mod that lets you make custom scavs, where you could give them custom amounts of personality types
The two london memes made me snort
A little late to the party but this video is freakin sweet! I learned a good bit from it and I'm happy to like and sub
3:23 I have a feeling the joke involved aliens.
Something I noticed is that if a Scavenger is a close friend to your slugcat, they give a sort of self-hugging motion with their arms, indicating they're really happy to see you.
I've watched this video so many times and I still laugh at all the jokes and bonking noises I love your videos Brandon
*you can increase your reputation with them*
Artificer: joke's on u imma murder
I once encountered a scavenger stronghold above the shelter i was staying at
The cycle i ran into the shelter was also the cycle where the scavengers were restocking, which meant everytime i got out i had to deal with the scavengers fighting like hell against a pink lizard that just so happened to spawn there and had to deal with constant concussions from rocc to frontal lobe
amezing video, really usefull, thanks man
An amazing video, keep it up :)
Even if i never played the game, and just got to know it from some building ecosystem video, i'm really love your video. Waiting for your Lizard guide video.
Hoping to get it here in a month or so
it's funny to imagine what cycles would be like on earth
"yo who are you"
"uhh you might know me as steve"
"oh damn steve did it hurt"
"yeah"
"damn"
As great as always ☻
This was great! Please, more!!
Actually have a video on lizards in the works rn
@@brandflakesinc.9350 fantastic! Can't wait to see it and see you grow and improve with this series of yours!:D
This one video alone taught me so much I had no clue about (the different tribes and trading currency to name a few) and I've played this game a lot!
what a cool video for arti
now we need a downpour scav analyzing
love the video
only thing I'm going to point out is that the order in which you tell stuff may be disorienting
like talking about item value before explaining it
but great video
Dude I fell asleep to your voice and woke up to you screaming at vulture; this is the biggest jump out of bed (but was actually on my sofa, so fell right off) situation i have ever lived. PS: your voice was just very soothing
For toll scavengers: They will allow you to take spears for self defence (Or defence of other scavs) if there is a predator of some kind nearby.
Slugcats can survive being hit with a spear pretty often as long as it's not a headshot. I've gotten one stuck in my side once after being attacked. Used it to spear a batfly later.
Nah, if you take a spear from the toll camp they will try to kill you or lower your reputation, you are stealing from they but if you have high reputation with tolls they will let you go with the spear without killing you. Then no, they don't allow tou to steal their spears.
@@CowpokeScav I am actually correct, you can even check the wiki. If a predator is in range of a toll slugcat is allowed to use a spear to defend itself/other scavs
@@SolarizedPhoenix "if a predator is in range" and if there isn't an predator in range of the toll and you get a spear from the toll they'll consider stealing it, so uhhhh... We two were right! Yay! Good ending!!!
I like how the overseer was like *what was that?*
They are shockingly smart. I love it. I hope a big youtuber plays this game again.
