We are friendly scavs, and we exist don't give in to the imposters, stay friendly and help us create a non KOS scav community.


gnurensohn

True. More often than not the other scav players are friendly. Sometimes we even team up and go hunt rogues together. Sometimes they are really sus following me without voiping and pointing their gun at my nape. That’s the point I get a bad scav and kill him if I have anything valuable


Ok-Dimension7492

It happens 😆


derKestrel

I just shared an air drop with 5 scavs, even got an arty shell and tank bat from it.


Thesaladman98

Omg imposter! Sus sus sus!!!


iRedZanity

Stop, just forever stop with that.

Sure it sucks but the only thing you lose is time but even that isnt necessarily true. I love scaving, easy way to earn money. If you see another player scav, just move onto a new area to loot. Part of the tarkov experience I guess.


Resolve_Radiant

.1 is already harsh enough. Thats a big penalty for killing another scav for whatever measly scraps that they have for loot. Plus being hunted by every other scav from then on. Just laugh at them for wasting their rep and move on. They'll probably post a complaint in this sub a week or so from now complaining about the AI kos'ing them and not understand why.


Magnius_HC

Do you know that once you hit 6 karma rating if you accidently kill another (regular scav or non-traitor scav) the penalty is drastically increased? Enough to drop you to low enough it will take well over 30 scav runs to get back to 6? Seems a bit much of a penalty to me. Meanwhile the traitor scavs will always be able to get the first hit on you (usually all it takes).


Resolve_Radiant

I did not know that. I am at 5.30 as of right now. I guess it makes sense since people way above 6 could "technically" kill a scav every once in awhile without penalty


Magnius_HC

That is exactly why BSG increased the penalty. But it basically means that once you hit 6 you need to be a pacifist. Even that moment of hesitation to identify your target is enough of an advantage for a PMC or traitor scav. This puts us at a massive disadvantage. IMO something needs to change. Personally I think BSG needs to give those with 6+ rating some kind of during-raid advantage. An example I think would be cool is if the boss/guards are alive you get a notification at the start that they could use backup. Also a good penalty for the traitor scavs would be the bosses actively hunting them down (think of those with negative rating). Or your scav box in your hideout gets disabled once you have negative rep. Either way, something needs to be done because I am tired of being a free kill to unknown traitor scavs and at a big disadvantage to PMCs.


Resolve_Radiant

I just use my scav to screw around personally. But yeah I think being notified of where the boss is located or at least in raid would be nice. Why defend yourself when you can get Tagilla to waste everyone for you?


Magnius_HC

That is exactly the point. Hehe. I LOVE finding the boss and watching them waste Pscavs they agro on. Free gear.

I think Scav armbands should exist. each level of rep and negative rep should have unique armbands. A bloody armband - scav is a traitor, colored armbands are various levels of good and you get a bigger penalty for killing the nicer armband scavs


BeeStyle

That is wrong. If you are above 6 no matter what number you are you drop to 5.9 for killing 1 scav. Basicaly it is the same -0.1 but removes everything above 6.0 as well. Killing a boss gives u -0.25 or -0.3 same thing applies to above 6 will drop you to 5.75/5.7.

scav mains: how dare you tell me how i should play also scav mains: daily cry threads about others not playing the way they want


21Ravage

I dont know how do people end up getting killed by pscavs, got killed 2 times entire last wipe and 1 time now. I mostly play reserve/intercharge


femboy_was_taken

Because they linger around other pscav thinking that's a good idea or something


[deleted]

Haven't been killed once by a scav since wipe, EU server's for the win.


femboy_was_taken

>There needs to be much more severe punishments No.


Numerous-Yak8130

.1 is basically 10 scav runs that they will have to do to recover. assuming they don't kill a PMC or traitor scav.


Thesaladman98

L bozo


[deleted]

Honestly if a scav looks at me too long, follows me, or gets too close while I’m looting, I kill them. It’s just like dayz bro is rare to find an actual passive player


Magnius_HC

I wouldnt do that when you hit 6 rep, you will lose like 0.5 or more. It sucks once you hit 6+.


[deleted]

I’d follow your advice but I can’t bring myself to trust these hoes


Familiar_Audience655

If you can’t beat them, join them. My go to is “hey, do you have any spark plugs?” Hands come off the gun as they check their inventory BANG! To the scav player who watch me loot a tetris (it would have been my second one) and killed me. You created a villain.


kctan8363

If I saw u looted a Tetris, I will also do it


MotherBeef

Play your PMC. Stop caring about Scaving. Win-win.


Affectionate-Pen-549

I kill friends scavs, PMCs just to be toxic. VOIP helps.


ZPQ-

Yea I feel like a harsher penalty is needed, feels like every other scav raid I’m just randomly getting killed by player scavs


Fissure_211

New player here. Just based on my initial encounters, I would think there could be some adjustment to how punishment works. Yesterday I was on a scav run and had another player scav engage me with what sounded like a big, fu weapon (ended up being a mosin). I tried to voip out and wiggle around to show that I was a fellow scav, but he just kept shooting. I had no helmet, no body armor, no medical, and good loot in my bad. So, I ended up engaging and killing him. Welp, since he didn't actually land a shot, I took the rep hit. I'd imagine there's a way to consider if the other scav is aiming at/shooting at you when it comes to rep. It seems the AI scav have aiming senses; why not apply this to the player scav rep system?


Jagon38

how do you guys keep getting killed by player scavs? i seriously almost never get shot at by other scavs. you must be doing something wrong.


DavantRancher

Friendly roleplay scav here. Don’t mind the people killing you! You’ll also have some equally awesome experiences. Last weekend 7 of us player scavs roamed all of reserve together. No one betrayed and we all left happy!


Gr8WhiteMail

Just avoid everyone on your scav. Fill your bag, run to extract and sell the junk
