A Native Scout is a companion whose perks increase both the viewing distance of the group and the starting Standing of each expedition.

Once per expedition while camping, if their Loyalty is at least 1 and your party's Sanity is high, a scout may explore the area, revealing the nearby terrain. Alternatively, if their Loyalty is 2+ and your Standing is 3+, they may provide you a native trinket (both events may trigger during the same expedition).

A scout who is recruited from a village will automatically be afflicted by the Local ailment.

May start with the following ailments: Superstitious (16.7%), Claustrophobic (11.1%), Sexist (11.1%), Kleptomania (5.6%), none (55.6%).

A scout is present in the starting parties of explorers Marcus Garvey and Richard Francis Burton as well as secret explorers Benedikt Meyer, Rami Ismail and Zacharias Zour.

Tips

• Scouts have a very good perk, though their dice are a little weak.
• The Eagle Eye explorer perk and/or binoculars can substitute for a scout, or further enhance their ability.

Like all human natives, scouts recruited during the game have a procedurally generated appearance and will share some elements (e.g. skin tone, jewelry, clothing) with other members of their tribe. Those already present at the start of the game use set graphics, as seen at the top of this article.
