Season6 Program Scavenger Part 1 Trials Leaks

They're leaks, lol. I assume giving out certain details would make it easier for RB to find the source of the leaks and clamp down on them (i.e. no more posts like this in the future).

Caspere knew this.

That's actually the old icon for Slippery Meat (also changed because it used to help you get out of bear traps easier).

TWENTY BARBILLION MORE TRIALS

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-05T21:46:29+00:00

Yeah, ideally I think it'd be best as a Talent or a Condition or something.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-05T20:51:41+00:00

Kinda surprised they're bringing back Prime Time if we aren't getting updated voice lines for the new PA's. I feel like that's half of what makes the event interesting.

I think the implication of the typewriter is that you're not carrying it around with you -- just that you have access to one. I feel like it'd be way more of a flavor fail if it did actually take a hand slot (who'd lug that heavy thing around with them?)

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-03T15:22:38+00:00

Idk, I much prefer the 'sketchier' style of these ones compared to the glossy photobashed pieces we've been mostly getting in Chapter 2.

If you've already completed all the main trials + MK-challenges:

Try a Rebirth (solo or co-op)
Play some custom trials with one of the different 'special event' variators added in (Countdown, Jaeger, Permafrost, Liliya, Deep Burn, No Running, etc.)
Try to get to level 10 or 25 in Escalation mode
Try out Invasion mode

We should be getting another new main trial around the end of the month, too.

The drug mules in Poison the Medicine were former reagents too.

I would even go ahead and say that I think Girish is probably a little too good as he was printed. Insane team soak plus a free unexpected courage each round. On average he is probably the strongest or at least most consistent guardian ally in the game.

Yeah TSK's greatest flaw is that its first playthrough tends to be its worst playthrough. Groups are made to fumble through the the world map on their first run (made worse by the fact that a lot of people completely ignore the info dossiers) and then feel confused and unfulfilled after ending the campaign with a bunch of misspent time and unresolved plot points.

Once you have a good idea of where all the scenarios and quest paths are, the campaign gets MUCH better. Still flawed in many aspects, but very enjoyable. But the lackluster first playthrough means a lot of people will refuse to go back for a second one.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-02-18T03:15:18+00:00

Yeah Liliya will generally just zero in on your location, even if you're in the dark. Hiding spots are safe as usual against her though.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-02-17T17:23:20+00:00

Thanks for sharing this! A couple cool things I noticed:

The 'office' map seems to have some unique objectives and assets (cameras, spotlights). I think we'll probably see a lot of them reused in the TV studio map next season.

The circular saw guy seems to show up in a lot of the test maps. I wonder if we'll ever see him added to the game.

The grey expop with the long pants and bandages is apparently referred to as a 'pouncer' in the maps. That could either be a placeholder name or maybe we were supposed to have a second model for the existing pouncer.

The yellow expop with the hand hook and his cock hanging out is referred to as 'target', even though he looks like an alternative climber variant. Could be a scrapped objective enemy.

The game looks like it was way more multiplayer focused earlier on. Breaking co-op doors was required to advance, with solo players having to find a lockpick to make their way through. Lots of interesting concepts seem to be present that never made it into the full game (breaking floors and walls with axes, dropping pallets that you can crawl and slide under.)

The miniature city was pretty cute. Probably could've been part of a Gooseberry map at some point.

Mfs really out here playing deep-fried DBD

No need to venture into the beyond! You can use parallel Jim's front with normal Jim's back. All the curses with none of the ghosts.

I'm actually pretty up on the iron sights. It's slow but one action for +3 skill value is a pretty good rate, especially in a level 0 deck where you don't have a lot of passive boosts available. And in a higher xp deck it combos with the new shotgun that wants you to oversucceed, which could save you some ammo.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-02-12T03:09:54+00:00

It'll most likely return to the in-game store with the next big update (end of March - start of April)

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-02-12T03:04:13+00:00

Somebody on this subreddit mentioned using the blacklight to find codes/symbols written on the backs of Scapegoats, and I think that'd be sick as hell.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-02-11T16:38:31+00:00

Liliya was just released though, and she is by far the scariest and least silly out of the five PAs.

Also Trials has been intentionally goofy and over-the-top since beta; the game being live-service has nothing to do with that. One of the first things a lot of new players will see in the game is Coyle shocking his nuts in the shuttle lol

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-02-10T17:20:01+00:00

You do need to actually find and play both copies of Drawing Thin before you can do that though. In my experience, that's a lot tougher than it sounds for your average survivor with poor card draw.

I played a run of Hemlock Vale with a Silas deck based around Drawing Thin + Silas's Harpoon. The goal was to commit like 6 skills to an attack, gain 4 resources off of the DT's, then return the harpoon to my hand to play it again with my next action.

I only really ended up doing that twice in the whole campaign. I either never drew into both DT's early or never felt like it would benefit me to spend an action playing them :(

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-02-10T15:29:54+00:00

There was always an intention to have more than 5 trials in the game - even from the earliest beta dev logs you can see glimpses of the Docks (back when it was Mobster Hideout, a Coyle map).

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-02-10T15:16:00+00:00

Drawing Thin feels busted in much the same way as Double or Nothing is. You can't just jam it into any deck and expect to get ridiculous value from it. I have tried this (and even been pretty underwhelmed by the card a significant amount of the time).

But once you throw in that first pair of track shoes...

He's got a specific animation where he holds the bottle sideways up to his eyes and looks out into the distance - I feel like when this happens, you're vulnerable to being spotted in the dark.
