Once you have researched the “Stalker Scouts” Tech, you will be able to hire Stalker Scouts in the “Hire Units” window. Stalker Scouts are Recon Units.
You can send Recon Units on Recon Missions. Recon Missions, when successful, allow you to see the strength of the Units that are stationed at a location you are planning on attacking. They will also tell you how many Resources can be raided from a rival Base.
You can send Recon Missions to rival Bases, Annexes, Black Sites, Resource Caches, and Alliance HQs.
The success of any Recon Mission is calculated by analyzing the strength of the Recon Squad against the strength of the Recon Units at the target location. Therefore, to have the best chance of success in Recon Missions, you should consider sending the most powerful Squad you can. Likewise, to defend effectively against Recon Missions, you should station as many Recon Units as possible at your Base or the Garrison outside your Base you wish to protect. Please note that in the event of an Attack, Recon Units will defend, and may be destroyed.
You will get a Report from each Recon Mission you send in your Inbox. However, only successful Recon Missions will contain information about the target location.
The amount of Recon Missions you can send simultaneously depends on the Level of your “Deployment Limit” Tech.
