Each game of Scavenge is made up of three rounds and the team that gets the most points as the Survivors wins. In the event of a tie, the game will award the team that got the most cans the fastest. There will be six maps for Scavenge mode and they're all a variation on the campaign maps.

We played on the map called Motel, which is a section taken from the Dark Carnival level. There are 16 gas cans scattered across the level and the Survivors need to grab as many gas cans as they can to fill up a generator located in the middle of the motel. You have 120 seconds to fill up the generator and each successful fueling of the generator gets you a point and 20 seconds added to the timer. If the timer reaches zero but a survivor is holding onto a gas can still, the match will go on unless the survivor drops the can.
