'''Bio-metal Scavenging''' is the third of the five [[Combat Exercises]] in [[Battlezone (1998)|Battlezone]], and the fourth in [[Battlezone: Rise of the Black Dogs]]. It teaches [[Jason Bates]] using the [[Command Interface]] to manage construction and utility units.

== Details ==
Like [[Defensive Command]], this command training session takes place in the training ground that would later become the site of [[Eagle's Nest One]].<ref>[[Battlezone (1998)]]{{C|, tran03.trn}}</ref>

=== Synopsis ===
[[File:Tran03_recy.png|thumb|left|120px|Bates' first Recycler]]
[[Lieutenant Corbett|Corbett]] begins by introducing Bates to the [[Recycler (NSDF)|Recycler]] and [[Scavenger (NSDF)|Scavenger]], then has him send the Recycler he has been provided to the [[Geyser]] at the training site.

Once the Recycler is deployed Corbett orders Bates to use it to produce a Scavenger, which he says must be defended as it has no weapons of its own. To demonstrate this Corbett sends a drone attack the Scavenger while it gathers [[Biometal]] from a nearby [[Biometal#Scrap|scrap field]]. When Bates destroys this drone Corbett congratulates him and ends the exercise, but not before warning him of the importance of watching his scrap meter.<ref>[[Battlezone (1998)]]{{C|, tran03.bzn}}</ref>

== Walkthrough ==
[[File:Tran03_scrap.png|thumb|left|120px|The Scavenger gathering in the scrap field]]
As with the previous mission, you'll find you spend a lot of time waiting for Corbett to finish talking to you. Since you can't destroy the drone early, there's not a lot you can do with this time.

The first thing Corbett will ask you to do is to pack up your Recycler and move it to the marked geyser. In [[1.3 Patch (Battlezone)|1.3]] and later you can use the spacebar on the geyser from a distance and the Recycler will head straight there and deploy; in 1.0 you'll have to do so again when it gets there.

Once you've done that your next job will be to build a Scavenger. Immediately after it is built a drone will appear from the north-west to attack it; you need to defend your Scavenger and destroy it. If it succeeds, you can still avoid a mission failure if you destroy the drone quickly enough.

When the drone is destroyed Corbett will congratulate you and the mission will complete successfully.

If you want a slightly quicker route you can build your Scavenger before packing the Recycler up; it will make a beeline for the scrap field and trigger the drone before the Recycler reaches the geyser.

Take care not to accidentally recycle your Scavenger; the mission script will count it as destroyed.

{{Comment|[[File:Tran03_eject.png|thumb|right|120px|A pilot ejecting from the downed drone]] Pilot wouldn't eject while I was trying to get a shot, so no pic of this}}
*The "drone" will occasionally eject a pilot.
*The drone has infinite health until ordered to attack the Scavenger.
**{{PC}} In the PC version, it is also present from the start of the mission.
*The drone will be counted as destroyed if sniped.
*There is an unused geyser to the south-east of the deploy site, in the same location as the unused Tug in the previous mission.
