About Master Scavenger
Master Scavenger drops you into abandoned buildings from the very first seconds — fighting guards, looting artifacts, and unlocking hideouts across every floor. Developed by NitrodogStudio, it's a fast-paced arcade shooter built around floor-by-floor combat and exploration, with a final boss waiting at the top of each building.
How to Play Master Scavenger
Each floor is its own level: defeat the guards, unlock all hideouts, and collect the resources hidden inside. Clear the floor completely to claim victory — dying in battle ends your run. Once the floor is cleared, load gasoline onto the train to advance to the next location. The final floor of every building pits you against the main boss.
Companions
Hostages rescued on each floor become allies in combat. If a companion falls during a fight, they cannot be revived, so keep health kits on hand for them too.
Hideouts
Hideouts don't require guards to be defeated first — if your character needs resources restored, open any hideout that's already accessible without waiting.
Tips & Tricks
- Explore every hideout thoroughly and collect all artifacts to exchange them for weapon and ammunition upgrades.
- Monitor your health and your companions' health; don't pass up health kits.
- Sound signals the arrival of new enemies on the floor, so keep audio on for deeper awareness.

FAQ
What does clearing a floor involve?
Defeat all the guards, unlock every hideout, and gather the necessary resources. Fully clearing a floor counts as a victory; dying in battle is a loss.
How does the floor boss work?
The final floor of each building features a battle against the main boss. Bosses from previous levels can also reappear on later floors alongside new enemy types.
What are blue nuts and steel nuts used for?
Blue nuts go toward upgrading weapons and gear. Steel nuts are used specifically to upgrade the platform, drone, and magnet.
What happens if a companion is defeated?
Companions rescued as hostages cannot be revived once they fall in combat, so using health kits on them during fights is essential.
How do canisters factor into progression?
Canisters are the fuel needed to move on to the next level — load them onto the train after clearing a floor to continue your journey.
