Scavenger

Scavenger, Darkwind: Scavenger, or DW:S are all names for the hardcore mode of Darkwind: War on Wheels.

DW:S attempts to make the DW environment more post-apocalyptic by removing access to money, the NPC markets, and the player markets, and requiring the player to rely on scavenged loot, and commodities garnered from winning in-town events (which do not award prize money, but rather food, water, and sometimes ammunition).

Ruleset

• No access to money
• No access to NPC markets or services
• No access to standard DW player markets
• Every player is given two gangs, one for standard mode, and one for scavenger mode.
  • Only one gang can be active/selected at a time. If your Scavenger gang is active, your normal gang will not receive weekly training
• PvP is open everywhere, including Somerset
• Gang members do not get weekly training, only field training
• Repairs to vehicles are based on the gang's stocks of the standard Darkwind commodities: Scrap Metal, Car Parts, and Electronic Parts
  • The gang's mechanic characters will perform the repairs, and their skill will determine what repairs are possible (not sure about this --Wikiadmin 12:56, 26 August 2011 (CDT))
