Scout - GTFO Enemies
Scouts are special enemies in the game GTFO that serve as a force multiplier by alerting and calling enemies to the player. They patrol designated areas and use long tendrils to locate threats. Contact with a Scout's tendrils will trigger a loud scream, waking up nearby enemies and spawning new ones. Players must quickly kill the Scout to prevent it from becoming invulnerable.
