Warzone’s DMZ mode has long had bosses that players can fight and loot. One is the Scavenger, but with Season 5, players now need to find and purchase an item from his Buy Station. Here’s how to find the Scavenger and his Buy Station.
Scavenger and Scavenger’s Buy Station in Warzone DMZ
The Boss
The Scavenger is a boss who has been featured in Warzone DMZ for a while now. He is, as the name would suggest, attracted to loot and high-value items that he can scavenge and flee with.
There’s no way to guarantee a Scavenger spawn in DMZ. However, there are things you can do to increase the likelihood of an appearance and in turn the chances of the Scavenger’s Buy Station showing up. These are:
- Complete Hunt Contracts – These challenge players with eliminating enemies. Upon eliminating real-life players, they’ll drop their high-tier loot and cash. This will attract the Scavenger because he is drawn to these items. Wait nearby and, if he spawns, head to him.
- Camp on eliminated enemies – As matches progress, you’ll undoubtedly receive Plea For Help notifications. These are from eliminated players who want to be revived and assimilate. Their bodies will attract the Scavenger.
- Wait for him to appear – As DMZ games progress and exclusion zones become more populated with loot and bodies, the chances of the Scavenger arriving are much higher. We found he entered most of our matches regardless of the above points, and we just had to stay alive long enough to see him.
Finding the Scavenger
You’ll know it’s the Scavenger when his icon appears on your minimap. This is a white skeletal face with the bottom half covered. The image below shows you how it’ll look in-game. The icon will also appear on your minimap, so just head toward it when you see it.
Assuming you’re completing the ‘Deal with the Devil’ Mission, ensure you Disguise up before reaching the boss. He’s flanked by large numbers of AI, each of whom won’t take it kindly if you try and run up to their leader without a Disguise.
There’s also no reason to try and kill the Scavenger. Doing so will just keep his Buy Station from coming in.
Scavenger’s Buy Station
Head towards the Scavenger with your Disguise equipped. The boss will mistake you for one of his own and welcome you into his forces by summoning his Buy Station and offering you a reward. It takes the appearance of a deployable Buy Station, as shown in the image below.
It’ll be made available close to the Scavenger icon, within the red circle the Scavenger creates on your minimap.
As you can see, the Scavenger’s Buy Station spawned at Tsuki Castle late in an Ashika Island deployment.
It will not let you open the Buy Station without a Disguise equipped, so head up to the Buy Station with your Disguise active and interact with it as you would any other Station. Purchase an item to complete the mission, and you should receive a UI notification to confirm the objectives are done.
That’s everything we have on finding and using the Scavenger’s Buy Station in Warzone DMZ. For everything else Warzone related, check out our related content down below.
