Does anything affect Salvage?

[Beak]

Does it matter what merc you use for salvage, is there anything that increases the amount of salvage you get? Mech doesn't seem to.

I don’t think it makes any difference who you use to salvage parts (or gather herbs).

It is random.

Ah thanks. You'd think mech would result in better salvage and med would result in better herbs.

I agree. However, that would add a bit of micro managing. Some consider it fun, some don’t. I’m ok either way…

That wouldn't really be fun, as the inner min-maxer in some players will make them have a single merc in their own squad run through all previously explored maps and salvage everything with their appropriate skill.

I kind of enjoy not having to also look for the optimal merc.

Yes. If mec would influence that I would appreciate if they would use the best mechanic in the squad regardless who you use to klick on the item. Similar like they do it when modifying weapons.
