Plan your next Vultures - Scavengers of Death session
Our independent guide breaks Vultures – Scavengers of Death into five core topics, offering observations and comparison exercises that let you refine tactics, manage scarcity and navigate the retro‑horror world with confidence.
01 / THE GUIDE
Ability Contrast Study
List Leopoldo’s push/jump options beside Amber’s grappling moves. Identify scenarios where one ability clearly outperforms the other, then test those scenarios in low‑risk encounters to confirm the advantage.
- Use Leopoldo’s push or jump to create cover or block mutant paths.
- Amber’s grappling gun can pull enemies into unfavorable positions.
02 / THE GUIDE
Ammo and Health Tracking
Record ammo and health pack usage across three missions. Look for patterns where conserving a specific resource improves extraction success, then adjust your scavenging priorities accordingly.
- Secure a safe extraction route before engaging multiple mutants.
- When health is low, consider disengaging to preserve resources.
03 / THE GUIDE
Key and Clue Mapping
During a mission, spend a turn solely on searching for keys, codes and clues. Map the newly opened pathways and compare extraction times with missions where you skip this step.
- Search every room for keys, codes and clues to open shortcuts.
- Balance weapon upgrades with health supplies to avoid being under‑armed later.
04 / THE GUIDE
Combat Pace Comparison
Play one mission aggressively, attacking every mutant, then replay it focusing on disengage and sneak tactics. Compare health loss, credit earnings and overall mission duration to see which pace fits your style.
- Move deliberately; limited visibility can hide enemy positions.
- Prioritize scouting before committing to combat to reduce surprise encounters.
05 / THE GUIDE
Audio Balance Experiment
Use the custom volume controls to isolate ambient horror sounds from combat cues. Play a short segment and note how the balance affects your awareness of enemy positions and tension level.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep progress across multiple Windows installations.
- Adjust custom volume sliders to balance ambient horror sounds with combat cues.
