The Scout is a job role available only to 
Heroes.
The 
Scout is a master of reconnaissance. As such, their scouting abilities can be very valuable during the first days of the town. The scout's detection abilities are less valuable with a 
Watchtower with upgrades and an 
Upgraded Map, because the map and zombie count will then be revealed by these constructions. Their ability to join an expedition in progress or deliver items "behind enemy lines" can still save many a life, however. Main duty is now to detect 
Ruins -ideally 
Explorable Ruins.
Abilities
Scouts are not affected by zombie control points as long as they are camouflaged. This allows them to move even in zones with high zombie counts.
- The Scout cannot collect items from the ground while undetected.
- The Scout can only perform some actions (drinking, eating, taking drugs) while remaining undetected by the zombies. These actions will have a check mark:
- Don't open a
Doggy Bag (a bag which contains food). It counts as other actions (not eating). You will lose camouflage.
- Don't open a
- The Scout may also use the heroic action Second lease of life without losing camouflage.
There is a chance of being detected as the Scout enters a zone; this risk increases as the numbers of zombies increase, and decreases as the zone is visited by more Scouts (and they find safe paths with which to move through the zone).
Unknown sector
Partially explored sector
Sector regularly visited
Sector thoroughly explored
Note: Only visible when playing in Expert Interface.
If the camouflage breaks, the Scout will be just like a normal 
Citizen and will either have control of the zone or not based on your 
Control Points vs. the number of zombies.
- To regain camouflage, the Scout can either take control of the zone (see: Control Points), or * use items which can blind/distract the zombies, e.g.
Flash Grenade, 
Grisly Bomb, 
Pre-war Camera or 
Break Through.
When travelling in the 
World Beyond, Scouts can see the zombie count of adjacent zones.
- This count isn't always accurate - the actual zombie numbers vary by +/-2.
- Example: The Scout sense showing 3 zombies means there are 1 to 5 zombies in that zone.
- Prior to Season 5, zones with no zombies will always show up clear, and zones with zombies will never show up as clear. as of Season 5, now clear appearing zones can have up to 2 zombies in them. It is uncertain if zones predicted to contain zombies may actually have no zombies.
Scouts can peek at what a buried building is. It is useful because you don't waste tons of APs uncovering the building if the building does not have good sources of resources.
