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].

Despite its name, the Mounted .50 cal does not behave like a machine gun. Instead, it fires rockets like the Annihilator RPG, guided only by a laser. It fires one missile for each trigger pull, and as such mashing it makes this turret possibly the deadliest vehicle mounted weapon in the entire game. It is so destructive that Notoriety can be accumulated in seconds while the Scout itself and Playa can be both demolished if the rockets detonate too close.

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 vehicles used in direct action like the Bear or Tornado have much weaker turret weapons.
