The current state of Salvagers

[RichardGere]

This concerns both the Salvagers gamemode and Salvagers spawned in midround. We had a discussion regarding this on the discord, the main takeaway being that early game Salvagers have little in the way of weapons to seriously contend with the crew (let alone sec). This doesn't apply to Salvagers spawned during the middle of a round since apparently they get more points (?). 

Any input or ideas regarding this topic are appreciated.
