INTRODUCTION [INTR] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Scouting guide for Front Mission 5: Scars of the War, released only in Japan on the Sony PlayStation 2. This is a specific guide only for the game's unique gameplay featue, Scouting. This will not document any material pertaining to the game's missions and whatnot so please don't send any questions to my e-mail address about that. Go to GameFAQs if you are looking for walkthroughs of the game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ BASICS [BASE] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ For the first time in any Front Mission, you can recruit pilots to assist in battles throughout the game. After getting past a certain plot point, you are free to Scout various characters and recruit them for usage in the game. Initially, you are only restricted to 4 extra pilots, a maximum of 10. After progressing further through the game, the maximum increases to 12 pilots. As far as the pilot and their capabilities go, it is dependent on the time of their appearance and where you are in the game. Pilot and Job Level, based on the pilot's specialty, rise as seen on the following guide: Time and Pilot Talents Guide: Time Period Pilot Level Job Level ------------------------------------------------------------ (Huffman Island) Jamie Recruitment Only 4 2 Christine Recruitment Only 5 2 Jim Recruitment Only 6 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ (CVN-112: Eclipse) Republic of Kiribati 7 3 Caspian Sea 10 4 Indochina Conflict 11 4 Fortune Medical 15 5 ------------------------------------------------------------ (Fort Monus Base) South America 17 6 Cambodia 19 7 Before Alaska 22 8 ------------------------------------------------------------ (U.S.N. Alaska Radiation Research Complex) Alaska 23 8 One thing to note about the Job Levels are that Mechanics and Jammers get a second Job, Assault, starting at 2. This is constant for the entire game and does not change whereas their specialty Job will improve over time. One other constant is the Status Evasion parameter. This stays at 0% for every pilot save exceptions to this rule. The following is the Scouting interface for any pilot: *toggle pages with L1 and R1* PAGE 1 ------------------------------- |Pilot Status | ------------------------------- |Name |PicturePic| | |PicturePic| | |PicturePic| | |PicturePic| ------------------------------- |Pilot Level | |To Next Level | |EP | |AP Max | |AP Charge | |Skill Slots | |Status Evasion | |Specialty | |Pilot Type | ------------------------------- |Description | |Description | |Description | ------------------------------- Scouting Guide: Pilot Level - the current level of the pilot.

A: The feature of looking at a pilot's status is enabled right from the start of the game. Scouting them does not become available until after receiving a promotion to the Strike Wyverns outfit. Q: Hey, I traded my Assault pilot for a Gunner pilot, but I can't Scout them again! What gives? A: Scouting is a one-time deal only. Once you trade out a pilot, you can never re-Scout them in the game. The only two pilots that can never be taken out would be Walter and the pilot in the second slot, a Mechanic. This is due to plot and character development reasons. Q: I wanted to Scout a pilot but after I finished a mission and went back to base, they weren't there! Why is this? A: Each pilot can only be Scouted during certain time periods within the game. For a good number of them, they can only be Scouted in only one time period. Q: Are there any special reasons to assemble certain squads from Scouting? A: Yes, there are Scouting bonuses for assembling certain squads and can be done any time in the game. Refer to the Scouting Bonuses section for more details. Q: What does the 'S' in some of the pilots stand for? Are they special or something? A: Yes, they are special pilots but their purpose will not be revealed in here. Play the game to find out more. Q: How come I can't Scout certain pilots? I can see their status but when I try to Scout, they refuse and speak back. I take it you have to meet certain conditions to Scout them? A: Yes, some pilots can only be Scouted after meeting certain conditions. Q: Any special pilots? A: There is a character from Front Mission 4, but their name will not be displayed here. Check the Scouting List and you will find that pilot... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2.

Here are the list of playable S-Type pilots: ASSAULT ------- Lynn Wenright Duke Takahashi Laila Roberts GUNNER ------ Laura Kimmel Joshua Mackie JAMMER ------ Patrick Jin Muriel Fey Natalie Vuarez LAUNCHER -------- Cecily Shean Justin Derek MECHANIC -------- Hector Reynolds Lewis Barkas STRIKER ------- Hettie Suzanne Lucas Hunter Johnny Firth * Lynn cannot be Scouted normally and appears only as a mission ally * ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCOUTING BONUSES [SCBO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another reason to Scout various pilots is to gain extra RP and some other goodies.

Laura Kimmel Conditions: Upon returning to the Eclipse after Mission 10, do not speak to her more than three times. Doing so enables Warlus to appear in the Hangar but Laura cannot be Scouted. An RP bonus may be gotten in exchange though. Upon returning to the Eclipse after Mission 15, talk to her then to Jeff for 4 RP. Julius Bancroft Conditions: Watt Turner must be in the active squad upon time of Scouting. Lily Pho Conditions: If you speak with Lily, do not choose the second option. This makes her unable to be Scouted. Cecil Bernadotte Conditions: Julius Bancroft must be in the active squad upon time of Scouting.
