To start scouting in Jagged Alliance 3, it is crucial to select high wisdom mercenaries who can gather information quickly. By opening the Strategic map and navigating to the Operations tab, you can initiate the scouting process.

Within the Operations tab, select the Scout Area option, allowing you to choose up to two mercs for scouting. This selection should be based on their skills, experience, and ability to navigate effectively.

After selecting the mercenaries, you will need to wait for their return. It is ideal to time scouting missions when there are no ongoing missions and utilize this time to heal your other team members. By waiting for the mercs to return, you can maximize efficiency and ensure that you have all the necessary information before proceeding.

Once the mercenaries return, you can visit the scouted location. By clicking on 'O' on the map, you can get a bird's-eye view of the area, enabling you to identify any marked areas with landmines, explosives, or traps. This information is vital for planning your next moves and avoiding potential dangers.

If you have Livewire in your team, you can leverage her unique abilities during scouting missions. Livewire provides valuable information on enemy locations, making navigation easier and allowing you to strategize accordingly.

In conclusion, scouting plays a crucial role in Jagged Alliance 3. By selecting the right mercenaries, initiating scouting missions, waiting for optimal timing, examining the location, and utilizing Livewire's abilities, you can gather valuable information to plan your next moves and increase your chances of success in the game.
