Scavland Mudlark Camp Guide

Quick answerPerched on raised wooden boardwalks above the murky southern wetlands of Zalesye, Mudlark Camp is the primary wilderness outpost for hunters, trappers, and bio-anomaly scavengers. The settlement serves as the home base for Trader Bogdan, who pays an exclusive +40% bonus for biological trophies including Hellhound teeth, mutant claws, and pelt pelts. Enhanced in Update 0.7.0 with a permanent Player Stash and Crafting Table, Mudlark Camp allows survivors to stage hunting gear, brew herbal poultices, and resupply clean drinking water without navigating back to the central village.

01 · Navigate to Southern Wetlands: Travel south from central Zalesye through overgrown marshlands. Look for stilted wooden boardwalks, hanging pelt racks, and lantern posts marking Mudlark Camp.
02 · Liquidate Mutant Trophies to Bogdan (+40% Payout): Sell harvested glands, Hellhound claws, and bear pelts directly to Bogdan to capitalize on his +40% biological bounty bonus.
03 · Utilize Local Stash for Heavy Pelts: Mutant pelts and biological specimens weigh heavily. Store them in the single-tab Player Stash locker (added in Update 0.7.0) to preserve agility.
04 · Craft Medical Poultices at the Workbench: Collect marsh herbs and clean cloth to craft budget antiseptic dressings and splints using the on-site crafting table.
05 · Prepare for Swamp Acid Hazards: The surrounding marshes are home to acidic Splatters and toxic water pools. Equip rubberized boots and keep Charcoal Tablets ready.
06 · Rest at Campfire to Counter Wetness & Hypothermia: Resting beside Mudlark Camp's open fire restores character warmth, doubles passive health regeneration, and cleanses minor stamina chills.
