Escape from Tarkov
PMC vs Scav
Escape from Tarkov scav runs are a different game. If you play a scav like a PMC hero, you will shoot the wrong player and lose karma. Know the role.
PMC raids are your kit at risk
Take fights you can extract from. A scav you heard in a bush is not always worth your 300k loadout.
Scav players can be friendlies. Check the voice and the wiggle. Not every AI-looking silhouette is AI.
Scav karma is a long game
Shooting scavs for a TOZ is how you get hostile scavs later. Extract, fence rep, repeat.
Player scav vs player scav is a mood. If you want peace, keep the gun down until they prove otherwise. If they ADS you, the mood is over.
Extracts differ
Scav extracts are not always PMC extracts. Learn both lists for the map you actually play.
