But the downside is that everyone can see where you’re using an upload point and can potentially ambush your team and steal your points for themselves. This allows you to bank the amount of points your team has and stay in the lead. The only times you really have to worry about hard PvP instances is when you reach a data upload point where you can activate a satellite and upload your data points to Mother.
It sounds fairly chaotic with so many players in a match vying for as many loot spots as possible, but the map is so large that the PvP and PvE interactions feel well-balanced. However, if you’re in the top count for teams holding resources, your position will be revealed on the map, making you a public target. You can also steal an enemy player’s resources off their body when you kill them. You can find pieces of data materials by looting abandoned buildings and towns or by infiltrating marauder strongholds and outposts. The goal is to collect the most datapoints and escape on the only dropship that lands at the end of the match. The game holds up to 60 players per match, in 20 teams of 3 with unlimited respawns as long as a member of your team is still alive.
Scavengers calls itself a PvPvE experience.
