Any wrecks containing Adv. Scorpions?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

Well are there any wrecks with Adv. Scorpions? Or what is net amount I need to get them as drops?

there is a sticky at the top of the page with wreck details in it

Post Sat Nov 15, 2003 6:38 pm

Yes, but I'm wondering if there are any wrecks missing from it. I've heard many people say they found Adv. Scorps on wrecks, and I've checked that guide, can't seem to see any. So either I've missed something / interpreted it wrong or someone else has.

i reckon' its easier to blow em off xenos instead!
why waste credits on guns when u can get them for free! (well close to free anyway thats including the repair bill )

What repair bill ?. Xenos aren't THAT hard to deal with (unless near Ouray base, and they aren't even hard there).

Unless you fly using Victor's Mod, in which case they fly everything from Starfliers to Falcons around Ouray..... The Rogues sometimes show up in Bloodhounds and Wolfhounds, and the Bounty Hunters also sho off most of their armada from Piranhas to Barracudas, even the odd Hammerhead.

or don't kill any Xenos and just go to Ouray Base in Colorado to start with. You're neutral with them because your allegiance to Liberty makes you enemies with the Liberty Rogues, Hackers, Outcasts, etc. so you are just outside Hostile with them. Buy them goddamit!

Sure... I have seen plenty of wrecks drop Adv. Scorpions, although most of those wrecks I have created myself The Xeno Starfliers, however, only carry the standard class 2 Scorpion. Unless you go to Colorado, Texas, or the Independent Worlds, the only way you can hope to score an Adv. Scorpion is to take a high level "kill Xenos" mission in which you encounter at least a few Startrackers carrying this weapon. Of course, if you are using Victor's Mod, then the Xenos fly their entire range of ships even in Colorado (Starfliers to Falons) and you can score Adv. Scorpions and even Tarantulas with ease. Good luck!

In the standard game, there are no wrecks that hold Adv. Scorpion guns. Around Ouray base, there are Xeno *Startracker* ships that do carry them, and they can drop as lootable. Xeno *Starfliers* don't carry them. Both types of ships fly around Ouray.

AFAIK, there is no networth threshold to get them to drop; this is true for all equipment class-3 and below. Often when flying an MP character's first mission against Liberty Rogues, you can get class-3 Drail gun drops.

@cardamine.net

I in MP they start out hostile to ya, but two Police Depot containers takes care of that.
I believe you're correct in SP, but you can't leave NY at first and when you can get
to Ouray they won't sell you the Advanced ones without some rep work.

(4 regular Scorpions are quite good for a Patriot)
