How does the community feel about people who try to bait you as a scav into shooting them so they can kill you with no negatives?
Factory scav run see a bunch of scavs in the area and no shots fired go to check a box and hear footsteps run right up to me and two 12 guage shots ring out right in my ear. No hits. I know what's going down. But he just stood there 15 feet away. Sees me look at him and reloads his 2 shells. I could have walked away. But you piece of shit trying to prey on the unawares of how scav karma works got what's coming to you. 15 rounds of 7.26 from stomach to head like you deserved. I'll take the hit to my karma if it means you don't be a dick anymore.
To any new players that haven't googled it or heard it mentioned scavs have a karma system that works by giving you positive karma for killing aggressive scavs(player scavs running around killing other scavs) or pmcs and surviving your scav raids. The benefit is your scav can spawn with better gear, you get better prices from fence, and once you get high enough the scav bosses won't attack you. So it's very worthwhile to build up. And what he was trying to do was get me to shoot him first so that he would get good karma (and not having the ai scavs aggro to him) from killing me.
