Mechanics

What Silent Scavenger does

Silent Scavenger reduces the noise produced while searching. It affects the information given away during looting, not footsteps, voice chat or every other interaction.

Build fit

Who should take it

It is valuable for solo scavengers and squads that clear a room before searching and want to reduce the chance that a nearby team identifies the exact looting moment.

Tradeoff

What the points do not solve

Silence is not safety. Containers still require time and the surrounding route can remain exposed, so the skill cannot compensate for poor positioning.

Picking order

When to allocate it

Reach it through Looter's Instincts and complete the connected prerequisite ranks first. Increase rank when quieter searching repeatedly changes whether a route can be completed unnoticed.
