The Scrap Scavenger 4 update for A Dusty Trip introduces two major features: the Revel car and a complete overhaul of the melee combat system. Below is a breakdown of how to unlock the car, its stats, and a detailed comparison of melee weapons.
How to Unlock the Revel Car
The Revel is inspired by the classic Austin 7 racing car and comes with both style and performance quirks.
Requirements:
- Collect 777 scrap points.
- Scrap can be gathered from scavenger buildings within a 1,500 m radius.
- Items like shields and engines give the highest scrap value at 5 points each.
Once you hit 777 scrap points, the Revel will be unlocked and automatically appear in your garage.
Revel Car Details
Features:
- Trunk space: Can fit a gas can fully inside (no clipping issues).
- Passenger seat & driver’s seat: Properly aligned, with working steering wheel.
- Headlights: Correct positioning and fully functional.
- Starting fuel: Comes with 18 L of gas by default.
Performance:
- Top speed (displayed): 200–180 km/h.
- Actual top speed: ~132 km/h.
- Acceleration: 0–100 in ~12 seconds.
- Braking: Weak—better to rely on the handbrake for control.
- Fuel & oil use (per 5,000 m):
- Gas: 2 L consumed.
- Oil: 0.7 L consumed.
- Radiator water: 1.6 L consumed (not very efficient).
Note: There’s a handbrake bug—the lever can’t be raised after lowering. Use the handbrake key bind instead.
New Melee System
This update adds new weapons and rebalances the way melee combat works. Both light attacks and heavy attacks now have distinct damage outputs.
Weapon Damage Comparison (vs. Zombies):
| Weapon | Light Attacks | Heavy Attacks |
|---|---|---|
| Metal Pipe | 3 hits | 2 hits |
| Katana | 3 hits | 2 hits |
| Pike | 2 hits | 2 hits |
| Scythe | 3 hits | 2 hits |
| Axe | 3 hits | 2 hits |
| Pool Noodle Sword | 3 hits | 2 hits |
| Skateboard | 4 hits | 1 hit |
| Vampire Dagger | 10 hits | 6 hits |
| Metal Pipe (basic test) | 7 hits | 5 hits |
Key Notes:
- Katana fix: Now held properly, no more awkward swing animations.
- Metal Pipe: Newly added, solid mid-tier weapon.
- Skateboard: Unique—though weak on light attacks, its heavy attack is very strong (1 hit).
- Vampire Dagger: Weakest in terms of efficiency—requires way too many hits.
The Revel car is a stylish addition, but players should be aware of its poor braking system and high radiator water consumption. It’s still worth unlocking for collectors and speed lovers.
The new melee system makes combat more engaging and gives each weapon a unique feel. The standout picks are the Pike and Skateboard, thanks to their efficiency in killing zombies quickly.
