Scavenger

As of right now, Scavenger is semi-useless, due to the fact that it only refills gun ammo, and nothing else.

I think Scavenger should refill grenades and launcher ammo, and maybe even equipment.

This "buff" can even be added to the Pro version only, so people have to work for it.

How many of you agree with this? If you don't agree, explain why

-----

Here I'll name off each launcher/grenade/equipment and it's counter, and see if everyone thinks it's balanced/unbalanced.

-----

Equipment: Grenade/Rocket Launchers, Frag, Flash, Concussion, EMP Grenade, and Smoke

Counter: Trophy System and Blast Shield (Except EMP and Smoke).

Equipment: Throwing Knife

Counter: N/A

Equipment: Bouncing Betty, Claymore, and C4

Counter: EMP Grenade, Trophy System (Except Claymores), Blast Shield, Stalker (Except C4), and Sitrep.

Equipment: Scrambler, Trophy System, Tactical Insertion, and Portable Radar

Counter: Assassin (Only Portable Radar) and Sitrep.

-----

Is this balanced or unbalanced?

  Seeing as the Grenade Launcher has been nerfed, I don't see that happening.

    What about abusing the XM-25? Regardless of the crap damage, it's fully automatic. I really don't feel like getting shot by a guy using a never-ending Noobtube.

Re: **Scavenger**

I thought Scavenger would replenish nades if the person who died hadn't used thiers before dying, but I have yet to replenish a nade once. Maybe this is only for noob tube grenades, but I think it should be for both Tactical and Lethal equipment as well.

Re: **Scavenger**

Also, they can make it so that only one plantable equipment can be placed at a time, so it won't unbalance things.

100% agreed. It needs to refill everything like it did in MW2.

  Re: **Scavenger**
  
  I dunno about that since shooting down air support gives you points for your killstreak. You could just sit back and shoot down airsupport all game, never facing another player, and earn a high end killstreak.
  
  I'm just happy it gives me another shot with my stinger. Hardline + shooting down 2 uav's i only need 2 kills for my predator.

    I agree that it should refill everything. But its not useless. Just throw it on the third perk of the specialist kill package. Rock it with hardline pro and it'll activate after 5 kills (when you're running out of regular ammo).

      If you use Scavenger as the 3rd perk for the Specialist Strike package, you don't take advantage of Scavenger's Pro perk. I find it better to start with Scavenger as long as you have Pro unlocked. My 2 cents.

Re: **Scavenger**

Why are you guys saying it's because of the GL? As of right now, it's useless in a fight as it can only kill with a direct hit.

Re: **Scavenger**

An alternative to this idea would be to add Ammo Care Packages. Or even implement both ideas.

Re: **Scavenger**

Hmm didn't really notice a problem with it, since I don't tube it doesn't bother me not refilling my grenades unless somebody else is using them and thats a nice way to keep it (imo).

But usually I run with the Throwing Knife and it gets supplied back to me with Scavenger so I like it with the Specialist Package going to.

Re: **Scavenger**

It's quite suprising that very few people actually want to see a fix for Scavenger.

Re: **Scavenger**

I think it should give you ammo and the tactical/lethal equipment of the dead body. He dropped an unused claymore, you get a claymore. Makes more sense than anything else..

Re: **Scavenger**

I am fine with the way Scavenger is right now, and I use it religiously. Sounds to me like someone wants their nooby tactics from MW2 working again, not going to happen.

  Re: **Scavenger**
  
  You can call me a n00b all you want, I'm certainly not. Ya, I only have a 2.47 K/D and a 2.65 W/L, but that's decent, right?
  
  Yes, I use the XM25, which some people consider a n00btube, but it takes 3-4 shots to kill, and runs out of ammo very fast.
  
  I also use C4 and Portable Radar, C4 do hardly any damage and would be great if refillable, and Portable Radars hardly ever need to be refilled.

Re: **Scavenger**

It should at least refill tac/lethal. I agree with the OP. As strictly a perk that refills ammo, I'll never use it. Too many guns lying on dead bodies to pick up.

Tactical, Frag, and Lock-on only launchers (aka the Stinger) would be fine.

Re: **Scavenger**

The problem with re-filling grenades is hardline pro.

All I have to do is spam my grenades and launchers at enemies wait for team mates to die and I get my 1 kill = 2 assists. People will abuse the system which is why they won't buff it.

Re: **Scavenger**

I agree, Scavenger is pointless, I always find guns laying around so why hinder my first tier perk by using a useless one. I mean really this game is unbalanced and I really dont think they thought this game through while in production.
