Scavenging can be a life-saver, but it can also be a life-ender if you’re not careful. Since scavenging can draw unwanted attention, never use your final action before the end of a turn to scavenge. You may need the points for an escape attempt.
When you are given the option to scavenge a structure, carefully check its description. You don’t want to be caught inside a building that’s about to collapse. Whatever might have been inside it isn’t worth the injuries you may suffer.
When you’re starting out and have limited space for carrying your goods, put plastic bags into your hands. Since they’re compact when not in use and fall apart quickly, keep all the bags that you find until you obtain a proper backpack.
