Scavengers operates on a similar wavelength to Apex Legends and Warzone in that if you or one of your squadmates is killed, you can respawn after a brief cooldown period as long as somebody else on the team is still alive. As you scrounge around for scrap and data, a violent storm continues to shrink the map, eventually forcing every team into an endgame chokepoint at a massive dropship. You’ll eventually unlock the ability to build your character’s signature weapon, and trust me, you will want to do that as soon as possible. There’s a bit of a MOBA element to the crafting system, as it ranks up in-match to grant you access to better crafting recipes. You’ll also find plenty of scrap, which you can use to craft gear improvements. You and your team comb the planet in search of data points to harvest, eating rations to keep your hunger bar from depleting and finding fire and shelter when you get too cold. Looting the environment is the primary objective of Scavengers. Consequently, the first few minutes play out just like Fortnite or Warzone, with you and your teammates in a mad dash to loot the surrounding buildings for weapons and gear. However, like most other battle royale games, everything else in your inventory depends entirely on what you’re able to find in the environment. Their special abilities, such as a shield bubble and a healing aura, reflect their fireteam roles and are available the instant your boots touch the ground at the start of a match (albeit with the requisite cooldown timer). The three characters available to you from the outset cover the three main archetypes of attack, defense, and support – Halden carries a special assault rifle and is the tankiest character, Valora is squishy but wields a devastating shotgun, and Tarik is the sniper. Scavengers is a character-based shooter, with each character possessing a unique special ability and craftable weapon. I got to play three matches during my time with the game, which teamed me and another media person with one of Midwinter’s developers acting as a de facto squad leader and guide.
(Let’s hope it sticks around in the zeitgeist longer than that last title.) Although it will feel extremely familiar to anyone who has played Fortniteor Warzone, a match of Scavengers plays out like a hybrid of Apex Legends, Valheim, and Predator: Hunting Grounds.
And even though Scavengers is undeniably structured like a battle royale shooter, that’s not an entirely accurate label.
On top of all that, the world is procedurally generated, eliminating the meta-game aspect of racing to a specific landmark that tends to plague other battle royale games. There’s also a crafting system that ranks up in-match as you gather data, allowing you to construct gear improvements such as a better shield and your character’s signature weapon. In addition to enemy players, you and your teammates will have to contend with survival elements like hunger and extreme weather, as well as AI-controlled creatures and raider gangs. Scavengers is a sandbox online shooter that groups players into teams of 3 and drops them onto a hostile planet in a race to salvage as much data as possible before heading to an extraction point for evac.
