How to Beat Scrounger

Take out the Power Cell first

Horizon Forbidden West - Shoot Power Cell.jpg

The Power Cell is located on the back of a Scrounger. It's what powers most of the attacks of the Scrounger. Destroying or detaching that part first will disable any energy-based range attacks.

Destroy Sentry Antennas

Sentry Scoungers will have antennas that can be used to call in for reinforcements. Lure Sentry Scroungers away from the pack and then take out its Antenna before it calls for backup.
