When Scavengers are encountered on a stage, the first one killed will drop its bag. This bag can be opened by interacting with it, and it contains 10 items which can be of any rarity. Any other Scavengers killed afterwards in that stage will not drop a bag.

The player can obtain and claim items from multiple Scavenger bags per run, as long as they are found on different stages.
