Scavengers is the hottest new multiplayer sandbox survival shooter that takes place in the coldest of wastelands. Featuring a unique blend of survival and battle royale gameplay, Scavengers pits teams of players not only against each other but also against the harsh weather and unforgiving wilderness. The game has been available in closed beta and various play sessions, but it's now out on Steam as an Early Access Game.
If you've already participated in a closed beta or play session, then you can join the early access for Scavengers right away by updating your game client on Steam. For those of you that are less fortunate, the publisher of Scavengers, Improbable, is giving away key drops via Twitch through streams that have drops enabled. Follow our guide below for your best chances at getting into this icy-hot new shooter.
