Questions players ask

Does Scavland have a character skill tree?

No. Scavland deliberately avoids arbitrary skill point trees. Your survivability is determined by tactical positioning, faction reputation unlocks, and weapon attachment configurations.

Why doesn't my character sprite change when equipping armor?

In the current Early Access build, armor sprites are purely internal inventory assets; developer notes confirm visual cosmetic layering is queued for future updates.

Is multiplayer coop supported at EA launch?

Early Access launches with focused singleplayer survival. Multiplayer coop and companion AI are planned for later roadmap milestones.
