New to Scavland — run the first daylight loop, join Discord, then recover a backpack without donating a second kit.
First Vulture loop: pack oil and a filter, scavenge in daylight, extract, then upgrade at stash.
Verified official Discord invite (discord.gg/scavland) for patches, bugs, and raid questions.
Death drops the backpack at a marker; stash stays safe — how to recover without dying twice.
Radiation, Mist, Zalesye routes, and procedural bunkers — the Scavland wiki pages for staying alive outside the stash.
Radiation, night flashlight cone, jams under 50% condition, and extract discipline.
Toxic Mist, anomalies, and the scanner — filters before sightseeing.
Zalesye surface routes, settlements, bunker hatches, and the RO-29 rumor — no fake atlas.
Procedural underground layouts. Prep, loot, extract — do not memorize a fixed map.
Every Scavland session funds the next raid from stash, then spends loot on guns, repairs, and trader tiers.
Loadout, ammo, filters, and a daylight route before you leave the safehouse.

Scavland tips verified September 6, 2026.
Leave the stash loaded: ammo, Gun Cleaning Oil, a gas-mask filter, and a daylight loop beat a heavier gun you cannot feed.
Weapons jam more under 50% condition (wiki) — field-oil in a fight, full repair at a workbench with scrap and springs.
Death drops the backpack at a recoverable marker; the safehouse stash stays 100% safe. Do not yolo the recovery run.
Night visibility collapses to a short flashlight cone; unsuppressed shots ripple a long way. Prefer daylight first loops.
Junk with high value density (spark plugs, lighters, springs, electrical parts) funds trader tiers faster than bulk scrap.
There is no skill tree — progression is guns, plates, rubles, and faction standing that unlocks vendor stock.
Verified Scavland milestones from wishlist through Early Access — patch detail lands on Steam news and the official Discord.
Scavland enters Steam Early Access (App 3373500). Prepare → Explore → Scavenge → Survive → Upgrade is live for Act I.
Official Discord (https://discord.gg/scavland), Patreon tests, and scavland.com media kit ran through the wishlist window (reports in the 175K–230K range).
Roadmap: Act II–III regions, more bunkers and weapons, QoL, and cooperative multiplayer (not in Act I). Treat dates as estimates.
