How to survive

  1. Walking past a Snag is safe, even with loot in your hands.
  2. Don’t hang around in its personal space. A short warning starts first, and that’s your cue to move on.
  3. Leave the nest pile alone unless the crew is ready for a fight. Stealing from it or shooting a Snag sends it into a fury.
  4. Snags share attention: when one watches you, they all do. Only the one you provoke gets angry, though.

Watch for

  • It picks up loose loot and carries it back to its nest pile.
  • It guards the pile and sometimes sprints between finds.
  • A short warning sound when you linger too close.
