This represents a huge shift for a game that started out as a stand in place wave shooter. Now players will have the opportunity to explore a city map and collect various types of supply crates in an effort to upgrade gear, earn money, and upgrade their health.
Red Weapons Crates: Collecting these will allow you to unlock weapon attachments and the new night vision goggles.
Blue Medical Crates:These will allow you to upgrade your total health.
Yellow Crates: These are worth $75 a piece, so you can still earn cash to purchase weapons while in this mode.
This new mode is the first to feature difficulty scaling that is governed by the amount of noise you make. At first, the level will be fairly slow and you will have lots of opportunity to gather crates quickly. Once you start shooting however, more and more infected will swarm the area. This system is caliber based, so the bigger the weapon, the more attention it will draw.
Suppressor - If you are looking to prevent unwanted attention and keep infected numbers low while you search for crates, then this attachment will be your best bet. This will reduce weapon noise by a factor of 3x. It does reduce damage by approximately 20 percent however. Currently, the benefits of this attachment are only realized on the Scavenge: City map, but this will change soon once the new sound based difficulty scaling is implemented in the other maps.
Night Vision Goggles - Players have always had to choose between being able to see in the dark with the flashlight attachment or having better accuracy by using the laser attachment. Now for the price of 20 weapons crates, you can equip night-vision goggles that will allow you to see much better in low light conditions. The big benefit is that now you use the night-vision goggles to see in the dark and you can also equip the laser attachment as well.
HP Upgrades - The player's default health has always been 100HP. Now by collecting the blue medical crates, you can permanently increase your health up to 120HP. 1 medical crate can be traded for a 1HP increase.
Some of the menu's in the helicopter have started to get a re-design. Now much simpler and cleaner looking, this is the start of the new system and it will be expanded in the future.
