How to level it up
Loot bodies: XP is earned for searching and for the items found.
A skill “gets tired”: if you train the same action for a long time, the XP for it drops to almost zero. After a pause of about 200 seconds the fatigue resets, and the first point after the rest comes with a 30 % bonus.
Quests requiring the skill
- Scavenger — level 9 (Ragman)
Radar and leveling
- Fewer deaths means more time in raid: skills like Perception and Endurance level up while you are alive and moving.
- Valuable loot highlighted by price and smart clusters speed up looting — Attention and Search level up faster.
The radar map opens from a link in any browser: on a phone, tablet, laptop or second monitor. You can also share it with friends from your squad.
