Also, a few thoughts overnight on Scrounger/LOOOTer pillar - the PC's I've made for this play style have a few things in common:

1) They never have 'full packs'. If you start the game 0.1 kg away from being encumbered, you can't loot effectively. All have 5-10 kg available for acquisitions.

2) Most have lockpicks and relevant skill (Intrusion, etc.), or at the very least, shotgun & bolt cutters, in order to access loooooooot!

3) Gear always includes a siphon tube, sometimes an empty 5 liter jerry can strapped to their pack.

4) There will be a secondary skill emphasis - for example, in 2.2 scrounging appears on the medic subsequent term list, so sometimes they are medics (though med packs are heavy - so likely to be an alt/secondary medic). Sometimes drivers/mechanics as well. Mostly though, I'll go full party rogue and have them take two or more criminal terms.

Some Ref's really like generating lists of found/acquired items, putting in lots of flavor into what you might find. Those are the Refs you want to use this type of character with. For some, they aren't into it, so it's not a good PC for those games. It's best to have that discussion early, before you drop a ton of points into a skill group (scrounging/intrusion) that may or may not used.
