== Game unit ==
Your MCV will arrive and deploy itself - start building a power plant as soon
 
as it's deployed. You'll continue receiving small clusters of infantry and
 
Rangers for the first several minutes of the mission, so just pile them up
 
below your construction yard. Build an ore refinery and place it above and to
 
the left of your construction yard once your power plant is ready, then build a
 
barracks below the construction yard.

In the combat the Scavenger squad fulfills the same role as the [[Laser Squad]], but it is more expensive, slower, has less damage output and less overall health. However, when their special salvaging ability makes up for the shortcomings. When any unit dies next to them, they collect 10 Tiberium. If multiple scavengers are nearby, each of them will salvage 10 Tiberium, even from [[Cyberwheel|Cyberwheels]]. This means that in the early game Nod can essentially finance their war effort directly from the combat itself, which can help bring out heavier weaponry sooner.
While it's not necessary to build anything for this mission, you'll be using
 
this same base again in another mission, so anything you build now will just
 
mean you won't need to do as much later. Go ahead and build a silo or two,
 
then place a pillbox above and to the left of your ore refinery, another one
 
below your barracks, and a third left of your construction yard. That should
 
be sufficent to keep your base protected later.

As the battle goes on, the Tiberium income becomes less of a problem and raw firepower becomes more important. Because of this Scavengers are useful to help gain income for heavy units, like [[Artillery (Rivals)|Artillery]] and [[Stealth Tank (Rivals)|Stealth Tank]] pair.
To finish the mission, gather your pile of Riflemen and Rangers and head west
 
through the ore field. Shoot barrels as soon as you see them to inflict huge
 
amounts of damage on the Soviets, and keep your eyes open for attack dogs.
 
The Soviet base is a little more than a full screen west of yours - wipe out
 
all of the buildings in it, and the scattered Soviet forces on the rest of the
 
map should move towards you. Wipe them all out, and your convoy will arrive.
 
Send your forces back to your base, and the mission will end once the convoy
 
exits the screen south of your base.

The Scavenger is a rare Nod infantry unit in Command & Conquer: Rivals.

Background

In the Yellow Zones, you learn that survival always comes first. Scavengers have been raised to find the value in anything they find. The brotherhood of Nod, who frequently recruit from the Yellow Zone, pay the scavengers for their salvaged goods creating a beneficial relationships between the two parties. The scavengers are always on the lookout for a bit of coin even if it means benefiting of the deaths of enemies and allies alike.[2]

Abilities

Can target infantry, strong against vehicles and aircraft. Reveals invisible units. Gains 10 Tiberium if any unit dies adjacent to the Scavenger.

Game unit

In the combat the Scavenger squad fulfills the same role as the Laser Squad, but it is more expensive, slower, has less damage output and less overall health. However, when their special salvaging ability makes up for the shortcomings. When any unit dies next to them, they collect 10 Tiberium. If multiple scavengers are nearby, each of them will salvage 10 Tiberium, even from Cyberwheels. This means that in the early game Nod can essentially finance their war effort directly from the combat itself, which can help bring out heavier weaponry sooner.

As the battle goes on, the Tiberium income becomes less of a problem and raw firepower becomes more important. Because of this Scavengers are useful to help gain income for heavy units, like Artillery and Stealth Tank pair.

Personality

Mercantile attitude. When idle, looks around and sometimes picks up and pockets some valuables from the ground.
