Scavengers Beginner’s Guide
Not a Battle Royale- if you browse the official website or any other store like epic or steam to know more about Scavengers then you will eventually recognize this game as Battle Royale. And yes players began with empty hands in the open world, map or you can say battleground.
And guess what? Naturally, you are reckoned to locate a weapon for yourself to survive against the expected provocations.
But In reality, Scavengers is not a typical and conventional battle royale and PVP game where you require to eliminate everyone and stay alive till the end to win the match. In Scavengers, Players have an abundance of stuff to perform to win a match like abolishing creatures, gathering data, destroying other players, looting supply and material for weapon upgrades, discovering unique and epic weapons, etc. You do not require to kill anyone to win the match. if you manage to seize data and reach the dropship on time then you can consider it as WIN.
Data Counts Not Kills:- Scavengers is a point-based game where you require to accumulate as much data as possible to lead out the top of the leaderboard. And for data, you necessitate to explore the area, interact with boxes, drops, eliminating enemies, cleaning out the whole region, slay beasts, zombies, and of course other players for their hard-earned data.
You began with a team of 3 members on the map along with the other 19 units which address it, a total of 60 players, on the map. So, an encounter with other opponents would be the definitive element that gonna occur sooner or later. however, you can easily avoid other players.
In Scavengers, the real strategy is to prevent other players on a particular map. You get their data points if you kill other players, but you’re also losing half the data points if you die. Therefore, it’s always beneficial to avoid other players if you and your team are on the leaderboard with high data points.
As you know, you can regularly win the matches, without killing any real player on the map. But to secure a win and prize, you require to escape the land and take off with a dropship.
Tip:- You can always crouch to hide yourself from other players in mini maps.
Sliding- A Boon:- Yes, in Scavengers you’ve read it right: Sliding is a boon, blessing and you can even call it bonanza. Sliding is one of the underrated terms on the game until now. If you want to activate sliding then you need to press the crouch button while running it turns into a slide.
The most aggressive and defensive term in the game, Sliding. You can easily avoid the attack of enemies by slide because it’s the fastest movement in the game. But recall it has a very little duration on a flat surface which is very precarious that you can’t slide for longer on the plain surface.
You can also aim and strike foes, beasts, and other players while sliding which makes it one of the dominant offensive terms of the game. but for that, you require to improve aiming a lot because you may have a hard time aiming while sliding.
Stamina and Freeze:- Truly, there are lots of obstructions in scavengers if you honestly wanna secure your first victory. You have been dumped in a map/arena that is permeated with difficulties, complicated tasks, and unusual menaces.
You face an extensive amount of obstacles to deal with towards your short journey. And all of the difficulties are here, to eliminate you in different techniques. Stamina and Freeze both are the most critical aspect of the game. You have to prepare for these elements from the beginning if you honestly wanna survive till the end.
You can observe and track your stamina and cold meter on the left-hand corner just beside your health bar. Stamina plays an essential role in your adventure as it is an outstanding factor to execute many tasks such as sprint, dodge, attack, etc. if you run out of stamina in the middle of the fight or the storm then that would be a nightmare for you.
The same goes with the cold meter too, if your cold meter went out of control in a heavy storm or anywhere on the map. When cold and freeze meter max out then it will proc the freeze penalty which leads to instadeath for you. No Revival, No HP, No Help at all.
Tip: Always keep stock of food like berries and meat to maintain your stamina and you also need thermal, fire or campfire to reduce the effect of freeze.
Dangerous Enemies:- Scavengers have a comprehensive threat, uncertainty, and difficulties, Genuine players are real pain especially if you are brand-new in the PVP genre, but even after possessing countless years experience of PVE genre, you should never underestimate the AI enemies in this game.

Shield:-In Scavengers, shields are ranked by 5 different tiers like tier 1 common white, tier 2 uncommon green, tier 3 rare blue, tier 4 epic purple, and tier 5 legendary purple. (make table for this)
Shield works with ingenious equations pretty similar to other games on the town like higher the shield’s tier is, the more magnificently it would guard you against damage. In short, If you keep a white or green shield till the end and would not upgrade the shield to a higher tier then you would have an arduous time on the field for sure. 🙂
Dodging:- Another, one of the most undervalued techniques in the game DODGING. You can perform dodge easily by pressing the middle mouse button by default. (You can reassign the button if you are not comfortable with the middle mouse button).
