Yes, it is true. A person gets used to everything. But don't ask us how.

The Scavengers are a faction that appears in Survarium.

Overview[ | ]

It is a venue where loners gather together for a better chance of survival. Founded by an unknown group of scavengers who found a safe place not far from a previously populated city, more scavengers eventually arrived and joined the camp.

Background[ | ]

After the ecological catastrophe engulfed the planet, human civilization was faced with the threat of extinction. The dreadful epidemic delivered a massive strike upon mankind, having sizably shrunk its numbers. Survivors were so scarce that their forces were too few to continue the resistance against the Forest. While humans used to dominate Earth, now it’s down to fight for the right of existence within this hostile environment, alongside the dangerous beasts and entire ecosystems.

Some of the survivors, while travelling over the territories were halted by the elements, and considered it necessary to set up camp in the vicinity of a former settlement. There they have seen other survivors in need of help. Thus, in this safe area people formed a separate group where they had more chances of survival. They became known as Scavengers.

Equipment[ | ]

Scavengers were the first to face the dangers of the New World and that is reflected in their equipment. Due to their way of living, they cannot produce the equipment themselves. All that they wear is either found, exchanged or perhaps patched and improved manually by themselves.

Mostly the scavengers' gear is aimed to increase their ability to survive within the tough ecological and anomalous environment. They are not the best of fighters, so they prefer more stealthy tactics when it comes to combat. As such, scavengers are good at scouting, hunting artifacts and can become proficient as snipers.

One of the unique items that scavengers can use is a special backpack with a built-in artifact container. This allows scavengers to carry more artifacts than representatives from any other faction.

Traders always have inexpensive equipment available, including cartridges, food, water, and occasionally booze.
