Skilled Salvager is a learnable Trapper skill in Horizon Forbidden West.
Use[]
This skill increases the number of resources recovered when Aloy disarms traps or tripwires. It can be learned twice, with each level further increasing resources recovered. The quantity will depend on the type of trap or tripwire, but at level 4, 100% of the crafting cost will be recovered.
At level 4, this skill synergizes with Quick Trapper and Trap Limit, which allows for quick placement of traps without wasting resources.
| Level | Cost | Resource Recovery |

| Base | N/A | ~10% |
| 1 |  1 |

| 2 | 2 |
~50% |
