About us
Scavenge & Survive is Southclaws' classic SA-MP survival gamemode, rebuilt from scratch for MTA:SA 1.6 in Lua. You get one character with one life. Every item is a physical object on the ground, wounds bleed, and when you die you drop everything you had.
The server is new (live since October 2026) and in active development, with updates almost every day. The whole project is open source on GitHub. Staff speak English and Portuguese, and the server is translated into 10 languages.
What you'll find:
Permadeath PvP survival: die and you start over, and your gear lies on the ground for whoever finds it.
302 item types on 11,062 loot points. Loot respawns based on scarcity, so hoarding starves the whole map.
Wounds by calibre and distance: bleeding, knockouts, infection, medkits, drugs and handcuffs.
Vehicles that need care: fuel, batteries, keys and an ignition, lock-breaking, salvage parts and welded armour.
Base building: walls, doors with keypad codes, plot poles that claim territory, safeboxes and tents.
Survival life: crafting, cooking, fishing, gardening, plus supply drops and weapon caches.
Chat: local proximity chat, plus radios tuned to frequencies.
Media
Fort Defiance at Grove Street, in a sandstorm
Loot vehicles spawn smoking, half-wrecked and almost out of fuel
Hollow houses you can enter and loot
Hats, masks, armour and holsters are all items you wear
