Scrap can be found in designated Scrap containers, common loot containers, and sometimes drops from enemies. However, to craft anything, you need to spend Scavengers’ second resource, Scrap.


Your experience bar is shown at the bottom of the screen, and each time you level up new options will unlock in your crafting menu. XP points are gained by killing AI enemies. Instead of simply looking around for the best weapon and armor available, players must continuously “farm” resources from various objectives and then turn those resources into useful items and upgrades. This means quite a few things work differently in this game, the main one being how players increase their power and chances to win over the course of a match. XP, Scrap, and craftingĪs developer Midwinter has affirmed many times, Scavengers is not just a battle royale, but rather a strategic survival royale. This guide will explain both match progression in Scavengers, and the game’s Research system. The game revolves around resource management, both in and out of matches, and the early access build doesn’t do a thorough job of explaining how every system and mechanic work. Scavengers is a numbers game, more so than any other battle royale currently on the market.
