Scav violence will likely be here to stay.

As the next wipe and patch approaches there is an ever increasing number of threads about an uptick in scav violence.

I'm here to speculate that even post wipe, given the new addition to fence with quests for scavs to gain karma, we are going to see a lot more dog eat dog playstyles and a lot more betrayals as a result of it now being easier, provided the punishment goes unchanged, to obtain karma as a result of these quests.

The biggest downsides to bad karma were increased V-ex costs, increased scav timer, increased scav box timers and potentially always being aggroed by the AI, now these will be further mitigated by quests on top of having the opportunity to escape with a PMC as a scav or use V-ex extracts as a PMC.

Just keep this in mind if you die to a player scav. I certainly no longer plan on being nearly as friendly as I have been in the past wipes where karma was harder to farm.
