STARCRAFT II GAME UNITS SCV

Previous Terran Unit: Battlecruiser Next Terran Unit: Marine

UNITS

SCV
Initially used during the
reconstruction of the old
Confederacy’s Tarsonian
orbital platforms, the T-280
SCV is a staple of construction
and repair across the
Dominion. The SCV is the
workhorse of the Terran
planets due to its ability to
perform a multitude of tasks, including constructing
new buildings, repairing damaged structures and units,
and harvesting and transporting raw resource
materials. This versatility and unmatched reliability
make the SCV an invaluable tool in rapidly
establishing Marine encampments on any terrain.

SCV - Game - StarCraft II

FIELD MANUAL

Light unit used to construct buildings, gather resources, and perform

repairs. They can only attack ground targets.
Take a few of these to support your mechanical units in battle.

They are hardly suited for combat but, backed up with a pair of
Marines, you can use them to survive a rush.
SCVs are the most resilient worker unit when compared to the other
two races. They can also repair themselves.

Build lots of SCVs to collect minerals at a faster rate.

Never assign more than three of them to a single Refinery.
If you find an enemy SCV building something close to your base, attack
it instead of the structure.

Use workers to scout; they’re cheap and fast and don’t tip your hand

Giving the fact that SCV is able to:

- repair flying machine when it is standing on the ground.

- extinguish fire from the burning building

- heal health to his protoss colleague - probe - by giving him a massage.

- has no girlfriend.

I will predict that SCV is indeed a gay firefighter who has double PhD degrees in Engineering from MIT.

Did anyone else notice that they are "staple of construction"?

TheNightFly 2/19/11 9:09 PM

How many units of minerals and gas does the SCV carry?

DarthVader 2/11/11 4:15 PM

We'll repair one another. SO; don't you worry 'bout me, i won't let you be alone, one day we'll live in peace, in our suplly depot home!

Ironspider 2/10/11 6:01 PM

It looks like it could be a good combat unit, but...

Trailblazer 2/9/11 2:42 AM

wth?! it says producer is an scv but scv's are made from command center!!

Thor 2/6/11 4:49 PM

These are by far the most annoying units in the entire game:

"Well butter my biscuit"

*shoot myself*

Baogames 2/5/11 5:09 AM

If the SCVs are actually that big, how big are the marines?

Bruticus 1/29/11 9:32 PM

Shouldn't it say something more like, "Never assign more than 3 of them to a single Refinery, unless of course, your Refinery is farther

away from your Command Center than is allowed" ? I've had 6+ SCV's hopping a refinery when I couldn't get my CC close enough.

Oh , and DaKing, SCV stands for Space Construction Vehicle. SC and I go way back to the late 90's.

Zipov 2/6/11 11:01 PM

@Bruticus: Oh you are so WRONG!

It obviously stands for: SUPER COMBAT VEHICLE!

Aftermath 1/22/11 6:12 PM

I mainly looked at this page to figure out what "SCV" stood for. Does anyone know that?

Wolseley 1/24/11 7:34 PM

@DaKing: Space Construction Vehicle, I think.

Cavyking 1/25/11 5:08 PM

@Wolseley: corret

Aftermath 1/26/11 11:47 PM

@Wolseley: thanks

helloguy 1/2/11 1:49 AM

a suited marine is less than 2x a regular human, somewhere along 1.5x

But still, the in game scale could be fixed

and its both medicle and flesh

Thundaar 12/30/10 6:46 AM

holy crap SCVs are tougher but attack slower then a zergling. so a SCV might be the same as a ling. SCV RUSH!!!

MAROC 1/1/11 11:03 PM

@Thundaar: Wow! lol

Doncroft 1/2/11 7:02 AM

@Thundaar: 2 Zergling cost = 1 SCV. Keep that in mind.

Xandrial 1/8/11 4:52 AM

SCV also has 5 more health then drones and probes, and can repair each other.

JimFox 12/29/10 4:19 AM

That SCV picture in the upper right... it's really cool.

Protoblaster 12/28/10 8:59 AM

Remember that the guy in the SCV isn't in the huge marine armor. Think about how big Tychus was in the ship. I think a marine and an

SCV could probably be about the same size.

Hakutsuru 12/25/10 10:41 PM

are you kidding? A marine would stand at least half that tall

helloguy 12/25/10 1:41 AM

5x probably but.........................still

helloguy 12/25/10 1:39 AM

Whats weird is, this is at least 10x the size of a marine, but they look the exact same size in game

Wolseley 1/24/11 7:38 PM

@helloguy: All units are scaled for gameplay. Compare the Hyperion to an in-game BC.

Natman 12/24/10 4:09 PM

didnt know they were so big

helloguy 12/23/10 1:12 AM

best unit in game (serious)

PAINCRAFT 12/30/10 6:44 PM

@helloguy: It is actauly the best unit in the game because if you had nothing you cant rebuild your base.

LtColVirtue 12/15/10 9:12 PM

"Aah, ya scared me!"

"Really? I SCARED YOU? You collect resources in the midst of a battle with the ZERG, and I SCARED YOU?!?!?!"

- a conversation between Lieutenant Colonel Virtue and a redneck SCPr

Drasvin 1/18/11 8:16 PM

@LtColVirtue: Well tbh, the SCV guy was probably minding his own business, focusing on operating controls, trying not to

worry about the massive horde of zerg pounding on the base defenses, wondering how much longer they're going to survive,

all this going on while in a tiny little compartment....and then his communicator suddenly beeps.

Cavyking 1/25/11 5:11 PM

@LtColVirtue: lol

legoo 12/3/10 3:35 AM

Looking at the picture makes me wondor how these guys cant just beast a zerglign with that huge drill,witch is bout the same size as a

zergling XD

WPNMAN 12/10/10 9:42 PM

@legoo: Yeah unless the zergling climbed up into the cockpit or on the windshield. But it should be more powerful... it is

bigger than a marine and can cut throught minerals is seconds

Mmbah 12/1/10 3:14 AM

They forgot to list what this unit counters: stalkers.
