When

At least 4 days after the scheduled first scavenged-goods sale visit. The investigation-plan conversation has not happened yet. You have helped her with food or drink at least 1 time. She has not been arrested. The first scavenged-goods sale has a scheduled date. Earliest possible day: 35

Eleanor

She returns with another randomly generated stock while saving for the investigation.

When

At least 4 days after the later of the investigation-plan conversation and the latest scavenged-goods sale visit. Only after the investigation-plan conversation. Her investigation fund is below 800 credits. She has not been arrested. If one of her earlier visits (investigation plan) is also due that day, that one comes instead. Earliest possible day: 39

Dumping Ground

Scavenge for random loot and bonus finds. Injury or bad luck can leave an attempt empty.

Availability and notes

Close the shop and unlock night outings. An outing must remain; serious wounds, a crackdown or recovery required by Agoraphobia prevent travel.
Maimed prevents access. The location must also be open.
When The Butcher is hunting you, select a backpack containing a gun.
Without Skip Intro, night outings are introduced on day 2; with Skip Intro they are available from the start.
Start with 5 scavenge attempts per arrival: add 2 with Proficient Scavenger, subtract 2 with Careful Scavenger, then apply the rounded event adjustment; the minimum is 0.
With Degenerative Osteoarthritis, you lose one attempt per week after the first week. If the count before event adjustments falls below 3, you cannot scavenge.
A fresh wound prevents scavenging. Every attempt uses up one attempt, whatever the result; the count resets on arrival.
Without Skip Intro, early scavenge attempts skip minor-wound rolls for a while and major-wound rolls even longer. With Skip Intro there is no such protection.
Fresh Dump lasts 1 day each Wednesday: the rubbish-group weight is multiplied by 0.5, and injury chances by 1.25. Other loot groups are rebalanced.
Georgio's Assistance adds 5 scavenge attempts and prevents injuries. Paid help lasts 3 days; its daily random-start chance is 0%.
Lucky and Unlucky affect luck. Positive luck can prevent injury, but that attempt still yields no loot; negative luck can make an otherwise successful attempt empty.
Loot rolls occur only after both injury checks and the bad-luck check are passed. Item chances below are per successful scavenge attempt.
Before protection, minor injury is (5 + 1 × previous attempts)%, major injury is (1 + 0.25 × previous attempts)%. Carrying an owned Flashlight divides both by 2; event changes then apply.
Careful Scavenger, injury protection from an event, or the matching protection when Skip Intro is not selected makes that injury roll 0%. Each injury chance is limited to 0–100%.
An actual minor injury needs the minor-injury roll to hit (the screen shows its current chance before you search); the better your luck, the less likely it is.
An actual major injury needs the minor-injury roll to miss and the major-injury roll to hit (the screen shows their current chances before you search); the better your luck, the less likely it is.
A scavenge attempt succeeds only if both injury rolls miss (the screen shows their current chances before you search) and bad luck does not leave you with nothing. Success gets less likely with each attempt since arrival and the worse your luck is.
An owned Scav Scanner carried outside adds a separate loot draw at the displayed chance: initially 15%, increasing by 5 points per upgrade to 100%. Bonus bags, cassettes and tool-related finds are not doubled.

Cost

Up to 1 night outing; returning home uses it. Scavenging itself takes no extra time.
The day after an outing, you miss out on up to one normal customer unless you have Short Sleeper.
An actual minor injury raises wound severity; a major injury raises it much more. Major injury is checked only when the minor-injury roll fails.
Finds must fit in the carried inventory and be brought home.
Paid Georgio's Assistance costs 50 credits for 3 days.
Each Scav Scanner upgrade uses 1 Electronic Parts (Common). With Tinkerer, the material is kept with a 20% chance; otherwise it is consumed.

Service Department Supply Crate

Unlock Service Department Supply Crate to take what is inside. Several separate draws decide the contents, so you can get more than one of the same item.

Availability and notes

Own a sealed, loot-filled Service Department Supply Crate. A plain empty container is not this loot source.
Unlock with Disposable Keycard (Command) or Disposable Keycard (Service).
Loot is rolled when the crate is created, using recorded luck. On unlocking an unscanned crate, higher current luck replaces its contents with one new fill; scanning prevents this replacement.

Cost

A successful unlock consumes 1 key: either Disposable Keycard (Command) or Disposable Keycard (Service).
A rolled item is kept only if it fits inside the crate. The listed chances describe generation, before this space check.
