Template:Infobox vehicles The EDF Scout is an assault humvee in Saints Row 2: Ultor Exposed.
- There is more information on this subject at the Red Faction Wiki.
Description
The EDF Scout is a mining assault vehicle that Volition imported from their game Red Faction: Guerrilla.
The EDF Scout was created by the Ultor Corporation and was Eric Gryphon's "pet project". It was used against The Protagonist and Tera Patrick when they tried to steal an Ultor chemical truck during Saints Row 2: Ultor Exposed.
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 seen above its name when entering it. 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.
Rocket Turret
The mounted turret on the EDF Scout is completely unlike any other mounted turret in Saints Row 2. It fires a missile, similar to the Annihilator RPG's, but without the lock-on capabilities: It is only laser-guided. However, it fires a missile for every single pull of the trigger, 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 Saint's Row 2. However, if the player does not utilize due caution with the turret, they may end up destroying the Scout itself, especially if the missiles are fired at a close-range target.
Humerously, obscenely powerful as the turret is, It was only ever designed for mining purposes, according to Tera Patrick, whereas turrets designed for killing people, such as the ones employed on the Bear or Tornado, are much weaker then the EDF Scout's.
Using the mounted turret cannon is one of, if not the quickest ways to get a high wanted level, as shooting 3 or 4 carefully aimed rockets will quickly net the player a low 2or high 4 star wanted level.
Trivia
- The weapon selection wheel lists the rocket turret as a Mounted .50 Cal.
- 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 is owned by EDF.
- In the mission where The Protagonist and tera are driving the chemical truck to the airport, they are attacked by the EDF scouts, The Protagonist eventualy asks tera where they were planning to mine to which tera replies "you wouldn't belive me if i told you". this is a reference to the fact that the EDF scout was used to mine on mars during Red Faction.
