Scavenge Mode



Scavenge Mode is a gameplay mode announced for Left 4 Dead 2. Each game consists of the Survivors and the Infected competing against each other to achieve a goal. The Survivors' goal is to find 16 gas cans hidden throughout the map and bring them back to a generator, using the gas as fuel.

The Survivors will have 30 seconds to set up and grab their weapons, while the Infected attempt to find ambush spots. Once the round starts, the Survivors have 2 minutes to find the canisters, with an additional 20 seconds for each canister they find, before they lose. The Infected team's goal, much like any Versus match, is simple: kill the Survivors as fast as you possibly can.

It's recommended that the Survivors watch their aim while shooting at Infected to avoid accidentally setting off the gasoline into a burning inferno. At the same time, this can be used as an advantage for the Infected team, simply because the Spitter has the ability to ignite gas cans with her acidic phlegm. thumb|350px|right|Scavenge Mode Gameplay

Trivia

 * The videos previewing this mode were the first to show the Special Infected's new in-game appearances.
 * The outlines of the gas canisters can be seen through walls, much like fellow Survivors, except that the outline is white. This will likely prove invaluable to the Survivors.
