Gates Encounters, How much better are they?

ZomBPir8Ninja Zombified Piratey Ninjas Racer Badlands Truckstop Faction Group: Members Posts: 151 Joined: Oct 1, 2009 According to the Wiki page on scouting, the further out you scout the better the loot. And according to the Wiki page on skills, the higher your scout the greater chance of a gates encounter. So, do you get the best of both worlds? Or are you sacrificing better loot to have a closer encounter? ......................... vet wv pvp5 pvp4 ped2 gwped paintladder Posted Nov 18, 2009, 4:03 pm Last edited Nov 18, 2009, 4:08 pm by ZomBPir8Ninja

lordbam Nephilim Rising Darkwind Guru Anarchists Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,410 Joined: Dec 9, 2007 the further out you scout the weaker the pirates the better your scout, the weaker your pirates. So going out 50 miles with 200 scout you will get weak pirates. going out 5 miles with no scout will get you strong pirates. On the way back from your scout, you will have to process the gates. If you have a bad scout roll, you will have a 2nd encounter. So a better your scout has less chance of getting a return (gates) encounter. ......................... vet wv zom0,3,0 Posted Nov 18, 2009, 4:34 pm

I set the scout for 32 miles out, but the map that loaded was Somerset Gates. So, did I get strong pirates because they were close? Or weak pirates because of my original 32 mile setting? ......................... vet wv pvp5 pvp4 ped2 gwped paintladder Posted Nov 18, 2009, 5:03 pm

You just got caught leaving town and never actually made it the 32 miles. ......................... vet marshal deathrceL1 wv community combatL1 Posted Nov 18, 2009, 6:59 pm

Can loot every car, no matter the engine %, as there will be no return and you do not use any fuel. Can also remove gangers from cars to have more room for more loot. Just have to process the seperate footsquad but everyone is back after a short delay for processing. Would be nice if we could sit at gates and wait for a NPC squad to come around, although I guess this could then be exploited. ......................... vet wv gwextrav e2g marshal pvp4 pvp3 pvp2 Posted Nov 18, 2009, 7:26 pm
