This makes me sad. (Destiny)

I like Salvage, and I can't recall this happening to me, but maybe I just wasn't playing close enough attention. Maybe there's a reason I consistently get "Objectively Correct."

I've seen it happen quite a few times. Unfortunately, in Salvage playing Slayer is a legitimate strategy due to the very long time to capture a probe. This is versus Rift where scoring the Rift gives you a massive amount of points.

They need to either increase the points involved with the Probes to make them the primary and best method to win the game, or decrease the probe capture time dramatically to also make the probes worthwhile.

As it is, headshotting someone for a kill gives you more points than if you deploy the probe (and not many people know you can multiply those points by having teammates near the probe when the deploy/dismantle/completion completes)

IMO, a probe capture should be worth 2,000 points. This gives you 5 captures, makes the probe a clear benefit, and ends the game fast if one team is clearly better at getting the probes.
