And every impact as a result is energized and charged with greater force.Īs survivors, Follow the Liter at the very least encourages unified formation rather than allowing players to assume their own pairs and venture on improvised paths. The mutation accentuates what is already so good about Scavenge by more strictly tightening the rules. Survivors are funneled into a choke-point during each run for cans, and infected can focus on simply timing their spawns and locating specific spawn locations for optimal attacks, rather than foolishly chasing down survivors in frustration or spawning into a shotgun from feeling rushed.įollow the Liter, as opposed to Scavenge, allows the infected team to feel more powerful, in control, and dominating…boons of the horror trade and the source of enjoyment as infected characters. The middleman of maintaining rank becomes much easier to manage and more minute planning takes precedent. Because infected have guaranteed knowledge of where the survivors will go, they can better prepare for the advance and coordinate a joint strike. Follow the Liter punctuates the core emotional qualities of Scavenge, more strictly defining the gameplay experience. To be fair, survivors must also communicate direction frequently lest one of their team wander off in the wrong direction.įollow the Liter is an excellent riff on Scavenge and, in my opinion, a superior game mode. Therefore, infected players must constantly communicate to be one step ahead of the survivors and pull off a successful gank, a task only experienced teams can negotiate. The trouble is, with cans spread widely throughout a level, infected players often have difficulty predicting where the survivors will aim for next, excepting that they're eventually guaranteed to fuel the generator. The challenge for infected is coordinating timely assaults that can incapacitate the survivor team. Survivors are equipped to fell infected easily, especially experienced players who know what to expect. In Scavenge, the survivor-team has the upper hand. A new patch spawns for collection as soon as the current has been dumped. Follow the Liter more strictly narrows the objective by allowing only a certain patch of cans to be collected at a time. In Scavenge, two teams of players either collecting as many of sixteen available gas cans as possible or, as special infected, preventing the collections. Follow the Liter is a mutation of far-and-away my favorite game mode, Scavenge.
