Understand Sniper Scavenger

Useful when…

  • Equip it when the squad's sniper rifle ammo recovery needs support.
  • Rank it to improve the listed squad-wide recovery bonus.

Effect and aura fit

This Uncommon Aura mod has Naramon polarity, maximum rank 5, and base drain -2. It grants the squad +25% sniper rifle ammo recovery at rank 0, +100% at rank 3, and +150% at rank 5. As an Aura, its stated benefit is squad-wide rather than limited to the wearer.

Rank investment and alternatives

The listed rank 4-to-5 step costs 320 Endo and 15,456 credits. Rifle Scavenger and Pistol Scavenger provide the same stated maximum recovery bonus for their respective ammo categories, while Dead Eye grants sniper rifle damage rather than ammo recovery. Choose based on which ammo type or effect is relevant to the squad's equipment.

Acquisition

The supplied drop entries list specified Duviri Endless tiers as sources for Sniper Scavenger.

Limitations and tradeoffs

  • Supports sniper rifle ammo recovery, not the recovery of rifle or pistol ammo.
  • Uses the Aura slot, so it competes with other squad-support auras.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Expecting it to improve rifle or pistol ammo recovery.
  • Treating its ammo recovery bonus as a sniper damage bonus.
