Been playing and enjoying 12.11 as well as adapting to all the new things with the patch as I’m sure everyone else has been and scav karma is something else. I’ve been trying to be a good boy and befriend scavs and defend the fuckers from pmcs but it’s to no avail, every time I see a player scav it’s routine: stop, wiggle, spam mumble, and jump. To most time I get a similar reply only to be shot 1-2 minutes down the line, I get spotted, hold fire we have a period of solace and I get melted. I don’t know if I’m unlucky and running into players who don’t care about their karma but I’ve lost my last 8-9 scavs IN A ROW to players abusing the system to get a little better loot or so it seems. I’ve snuck up on player scavs as a scav and peeked in front of them with a mumble just to be shot. I’ve been shot by a player scav, survived, killed him, and got tuned by the surrounding scavs. I personally don’t know what to suggest to do about it but I do know that SOMETHING needs to be done about it.
