A shooter with unique features
What makes Scavengers so special? The developer studio Midwinter wants to give you a task at all times. There should be no downtime during missions. You always know exactly what to do or will be confronted with a fight.
Moreover, you can adapt to your environment. Over time, you will learn where locations for ambushes are and where to be most cautious. Nevertheless, chance always plays a role. Every match is supposed to be different.
The classes are important. You should aim for a balanced team of supporters, melee, and ranged fighters. Supporters, for example, can craft weapons from junk, making them very useful.
Survival plays a role because you need to keep warm and protect yourself from the weather. Those who warm up by a fire receive a buff.
It is also possible for you to team up with other teams. However, you should not necessarily trust them. When it comes to the final battle, everyone wants to be the winner.
Additionally, an invasion by the alien Scourge may occur, leading to interesting events.
When is Scavengers coming out? Currently, there is no release date for the game. However, it is supposed to be released as a free-to-play title and will be regularly expanded with more content.
