Scavland: Gameplay and First Impressions of the Post-Soviet Survival Game
Let's dive into the mechanics of this hardcore, top-down survival game set in a post-apocalyptic Soviet world. Discover how to survive amid exploration, resource gathering, and a deadly fog that constantly threatens your life in the wastelands.
Complete the Vitality Quest
A player asks another user to shoot him in the leg or arm to complete the vitality mission and increase the level of the relevant skill in the game.
Shooting your partner in the leg
The shooter points the weapon at the allied character's leg and pulls the trigger to fulfill the mission requirement for the vitality skill.
Increase the skill level
The game displays the notification message confirming the recoil control skill upgrade after performing the requested action.
Examine the body and the loot
The player opens the inventory and loot screen to check the equipment and items available on the bodies in the area.
Mining with Scavs Lands
Use the Scavs Lands shared extraction zone on the Reserve map to earn a one hundred thousand dollar reward from Fence. Reach the extraction point behind the Bishop buildings and advance toward the structure with the chain-link roof.
Voice signals and welcome
Use voice chat or the axe to communicate with other players and PMCs in the area. Spam friendly phrases or say hello to other users to signal peaceful intentions and avoid unwanted combat before extraction.
Movement times on the map
Run straight to the extraction point as soon as you start the match on Reserve. Move quickly to avoid the PMCs having already left the area or the enemy threat eliminating your chances of success.
Currency conversion from merchants
Turn your accumulated dollars into rubles by purchasing large quantities of MP5 rifles from Peacekeeper and then selling them to Mechanic. Use this repeated buying and selling to maximize your profits and monetize your accumulated resources.
