Scavenger (weapon)

''This article is for the sniper rifle. For the perk of the same name, see Scavenger (perk).''

The Scavenger is an explosive sniper rifle featured in the Call of Duty: Black Ops zombie map, Call of the Dead. When Pack-a-Punched, it is renamed the Hyena Infra-Dead and gains a Variable Zoom with an Infrared Scope, larger magazine, and more damage to zombies. After the player shoots, it takes two seconds for the bullet to explode which has a fairly large radius and high damage, enough to usually kill large clustered groups. It can and will down players if they are close enough to the bullet when it explodes if they do not have Juggernog or PhD Flopper.

It assumes the role of the Thundergun from Ascension and Kino der Toten. It is much more effective than its counter apart the V-R11 as it can kill multiple Zombies and has a very long range. PhD Flopper is strongly advised. It loses its one-hit kill around level 30.

Tips

 * It is advised to buy the PhD Flopper as soon as possible upon it's acquisition, due to the weapon using explosive rounds if the player is ever within it's proximity.
