Revision as of 06:54, 15 August 2022

The EDF Scout is a vehicle in Ultor Exposed.

Overview

The EDF Scout is a mining assault vehicle that was created by the Ultor Corporation and was Eric Gryphon's "pet project". It is used against Playa and Tera when they try to steal an Ultor chemical truck.^[1]

The EDF Scout's armor isn't as good as the Bear's, although it can take several hits before catching fire. It has an orange Red Faction logo painted on the back window, and has the game's logo above the name when entering it..^[2] It bears a resemblance to the The General's unique Bulldog. In a way, the Bear is more agile as the EDF Scout has a wide turning circle and poor tire grip.

Mounted .50 cal

Icon

The EDF Scout features a unique mounted Mounted .50 cal^[3] which fires rockets instead of .50 cal rounds.

It fires missiles, similar to the Annihilator RPG, but without the lock-on capability: they are laser-guided only. It fires one missile for each trigger pull, and with no effective fire cap, a deadly, constant barrage of rockets can be spewed forth by jamming the trigger as hard as possible. This makes it, quite possibly, the most deadly turret mounted on any vehicle in Saints Row 2. It is easy to destroy the Scout and be Smoked.

Using the Mounted .50 cal is a quick way to get a high Notoriety.

Trivia

Volition imported the EDF Scout from their game Red Faction: Guerrilla.
The vehicle is classified as a Ultor vehicle, while in Red Faction is classified as Earth Defense Force (EDF) vehicle. Possibly Ultor built these vehicles and later was owned by EDF.
Playa asks Tera where Ultor was planning to mine, to which Tera replies "you wouldn't believe me if I told you", referring to the fact that the EDF Scout is used to mine on Mars in Red Faction.^[1]
The Red Faction model features smaller windows than the Saints Row 2 model. Also, it is more versatile.
As powerful as the Mounted .50 cal is, the EDF Scout was only ever designed for mining purposes,^[4] whereas turrets designed for killing people, such as the ones employed on the Bear or Tornado, are much weaker then the EDF Scout's.
