New Perk Scavenger?

Feel free to disagree, I'd actually genuinely want to know if anyone has experienced this perk differently. Is it just me though or since the nerf after PTB before going live has this perk become redundant.? Scavenger seemed alright but now it feels like you'd just get more value out of 'built to last' over this perk. You need to deplete the toolbox, then you need to hit GREAT skill checks 5 of them to replenish the toolbox then upon doing so you're gen speed is slowed by 50% literally half for 30seconds (that's at max). It feels to me like it just won't find value despite being not limited to once per trial, you need to get those tokens & part of the process slows it down so much it feels hardly worth doing so.

I'd love to know others thoughts on this. Has anyone found a way to really apply this perk well?

    Yes, it was nerfed into oblivion. Some people might get more usage out of it for sabotage but even then its activation conditions hurt it. The best way to fix it without reverting it entirely would be to apply the repair speed penalty only to toolbox usage. That way you can continue to repair gens but still have to wait to get more usage out of the toolbox. It still wouldn’t be great for me since I play on Switch and great skill checks aren’t as plentiful but for some it would still be pretty viable.
