- "Scabs fighting OD? Whoever wins, I win!"
– Player in free-roam
Scabs are human survivors who looted and plundered the remains of Sunset City after the Horror Night. They can be easily recognized by their aggressive-toned quotes or by the red neon glowing armor that they wear. Scabs mostly wear gas masks.
Scab Shooters[]
These are the first scabs you will meet. They will scream profanities and shoot you with machine guns. Don't stay on a bouncing spot too long, otherwise they will pick up your path. Grinding makes it much harder for them to land a shot on you.
Scab Rushers[]
Female humans. They are armed with bats and will charge at you with their rocket boosts. Stay up high and you should be fine.
Scab Tossers[]
Male humans armed with Proximity Mines which shoot red sticky explosives. They will lob their projectiles similar to the OD Blower. They die easily from melee attacks but make sure to avoid those big red circles on the ground. If their mines latch on the player, the player needs to roll on the ground or change directions on grind rails to get rid of the mines before they explode.
Like all Scabs, their aim can be lowered by constant movement.
Behavior[]
Being looters, they can sometimes be seen chasing down other human survivors, or holding them captive.
Scabs will often call out what kind of weapon the Player is using (eg. if the Player is using the Shocker, a Scab may yell "They're shooting lightning bolts!"), what kind of traversal moves you are using, and even if you are out of ammo.
