    Scavenging - a waste of SHD.

    Anyone else annoyed that we have to waste 1 in 5 SHD on crappy scavenging? WTF is the point of that? just to piss the players off?

    Yes. I just ran across that myself and literally thought, WTF? Plus I had just been on a resource run so the only thing I could use it on was.....credits. I don’t have truly harsh words for these guys all that often, but that mechanic is a joke.

    I haven't gotten very far in SHD level but it seems to be on a rotational cycle? I was really hoping we could just dump our points into whatever and call it a day.

    I was actually exited for Scavenging, because I got the picture it would increase the amount of materials dropped to us. Such a letdown.

    Yup. It’s rotational. Offense, Defense, Utility, Miscellaneous, and Scavenging.

    Prior to the launch they claimed it would make the game more akin to an 'RPG', yet how can it be when they don't allow you to spend your points as you see fit?

    Yes, especially if you don't want to invest into skills at first, because you don't use them. Also if it is an 'infinite' system, I don't see a reason for the rotation except maybe they think opening it up would make more efficient/specialized builds appear earlier than they want them to.

    Its indeed is a waste as it is.Make the amounts a whole lot more I mean cmon it takes 62 electronics to re-calibrate something and we only get 10.Any random box has 3-5 on the street.What a waste.

    Couldn't agree more. What a waste of SHD points!
