@Mojo.X You shouldn't be doing nothing else than that. Scavs can be player scavs, and even if you manage to cooperate with them, you shouldn't trust them. I've been that alley many times and I'm not going into that alley again. I don't shoot on sight, but when I know it's a player scav, i'll be happy to take the aggro and kill the player scav.
@@metoch I had a bad experience with scavs today legit was running to Ruaf Roadblock to extract and player scavs are dicks 60% of the time and I had a full blown M4 that I got from a weapon box but I also was risking Fence rep which I don’t want to so I just took the loss as it doesn’t affect me as it’s just a gun I can get some time soon
I play this game since 3 weeks and you answered many questions I had, like looting of scav/ scav players and this one how to recognize a scav player! Thank you
Super helpful, thanks man. A lot of "beginner" Tarkov videos assume you know things like this, presumably because it is so basic to the people that produce those videos. You are really helpful to the true beginners. Sub EARNED.
Thanks dude, your videos are really helpful. You definitely deserve more views. I knew you could play as a Scav with random gear but I guess I never knew you kept the loot. That is a great way to learn, especially for me cause I'm worried if I just played as a PMC I'd eventually lose all my gear (cause I suck shit). Anyway thanks again man, keep doing the great vids!
Thank you. So fucking much. I’ve been playing for almost a year now and didn’t know that as a Player Scav Scav Bots won’t aggro. That is so game changing
Best one so far I’ve looked at about ten describing this game you did it 100% better than anybody else I’ve found, you should do more videos on games that developers for whatever reason decide to just make a game and give no description of anything, no tutorial, no nothing just here it is figure it out if you get fucked over don’t blame us though the blame is 1000% theirs when they give no instructions, you don’t build skyscraper by looking at just a picture and say fuck it will figure it out as we go along no actual guidelines or instructions needed smfh why we have great people like you to explain things the developers should of from the get go. Not like the game isn’t hard enough as it is.
I haven't been playing long but one of my favourite things to do as a scav is to hang about the pockets and wait for PMC to engage them you can score some nice loot by being that scav-safe 3rd party.
This needs a little bit of an update - If you kill an AI Scav as a Player Scav every AI Scav on the map becomes hostile. Furthermore - If you kill a Player Scav as another Player Scav, all AI Scavs on the map also become hostile.
duude, i was so frustrated because two times a scav shot me in the face (was playing a peaceful scav, just went for some loot) i did not understand.. last time i just looted some nice stuff as a scav, another scav came up slowly aimed at my face then shot me... i couldnt tell if that was a player :D
I just played as a scav and killed someone and got 2 rifles and bandages a lot of decent loot. I camped until the timer ran out and then I LOST EVERYTHING. What did I do wrong?
Thanks for the vid but does not answer the question I have. I really like to know if there is a limit for player scavs in a game. The other day I killed 6 player scavs in reserve and I still got shot in the face by a player scav. They just keep coming. Is there a limit just like the pmc limit per map?
I think there is a total limit for how many can be in a raid at one time but if they die more can spawn in. As long as there is a PMC in a raid players scavs can spawn.
if we have identified a player scav and/or a PMC, if he is looking the other way or has not shot at us first and we go on to shoot him first knowing that its a player will the scav agro us??
Hey i have 1 million cost question if you can asnwer me thats will be great if example i choosed scav for example and my friend gaved me secure container and died with scav while i used secure conteiner on it can i have my stuff back after the lobby end on the secure container ?
6:11 not anymore right? i scaved in on shoreline once, a regular scav on scav island had 2 guns and there was a dead scav with no gun on the ground. i guess the ai loots since some update
Nobody has explained how many AI scavs spawn on all maps when they spawn and how many are player scavs vs AI scavs. And also how many PMC players spawn
my cooldown is 30 minutes and i dont have any items left on PMC because i am a new player, resulting in loosing a lot. sucks ass if you can only play the game every 30 minutes for 1-15minutes
I think its a hit. When you shoot next to SCAV when you are a SCAV yourself they will not atrack you.. so I think the system doesnt recognize it if you mean to attack another SCAV player either.. but its just my assumption
yeah but if you kill a scav say behind a wall how the hell does the other scav 100ft away if he cant see you know it was you and then agro onto you I feel like they need to change it so they only agro if they see you do it not if you have!?
Awesome video, thanks for the tips! This may be a silly question, but how do you actually find Scavs? I'm fairly new to the game, have been playing for the past few weeks off/on, and can't seem to find scavs on demand. Is there a trick to locating scavs for the easier loot when you're new? Cheers!
It's really about knowing where they spawn in. They spawn at various places on the map and normally spawn in groups of 3-5. As you play more you will learn where these places are and learn to check them if you are looking for scavs. But you will normally run into a few as you play
Be careful also when looting a scav you have just killed...there will be others that will bee line to where it happened and kill with your hands in their mates pockets! Hang back and reposition and see what turns up for a minute or two
yeah no. everytime i go into a raid with a scav other player scavs kill me XD i dont see anyone working as a team when it comes to scavs cause like you said. there is no big risk in loosing all the gear since its free.
someone explain why I got killed by a PMC player when I was in scav? I went to the players stream and seen he had items insured and fully kitted gear that was insured.
Doppleganger runs: Going in with a pistol and extra mag, and stealing the first scavs gear, drop original gear. Go hunt some PMCs, steal their gear, extract.
Well, and now all this is useless since scavs dont just have a better walk cycle then most players but also their aim has been upgraded to a aimbot 2x so sometimes they aggro you through an entire forest and kill you with 3 buckshot rounds into your leg from 150m as if they are slugs and ontop of that they do this through 20 treed and 40 bushes. But thanks for the tutorial, helpful for engagements where scavs dont just aimbot you.
19 minutes for a scav these days is too much. if your a solo scav is all you have, when there's like groups of two and three everywhere basically impossible to play normally may aswel just hand them my loot.
Wow. I've been playing this game for 4 days now without realizing I can avoid AI Scav confrontation. So helpful, thanks!
@Mojo.X You shouldn't be doing nothing else than that. Scavs can be player scavs, and even if you manage to cooperate with them, you shouldn't trust them. I've been that alley many times and I'm not going into that alley again. I don't shoot on sight, but when I know it's a player scav, i'll be happy to take the aggro and kill the player scav.
How good are you now?
@ Still pretty trash, but at least scavs aren't a factor anymore. :D

@Janis Joplin Link?
literally the only video i could find explaining visual cues to tell a player scav from a bot scav. ty
Its also important to know for new people that boss scavs will shoot at player scavs even if they are not agro'd
I'm getting super serious about EFT and I am going back and re-watching all of your beginner videos. HERE WE GO
Next patch is going to change a lot of these Scav AI behaviors.
I play this game since 3 weeks and you answered many questions I had, like looting of scav/ scav players and this one how to recognize a scav player! Thank you

+clamum thanks so much! Yea, playing as a scav is an awesome way to score some free loot!
Thanks man! Your videos are one of the best hidden gems for beginning tarkov players. I am glad I found your channel
Thank you. So fucking much. I’ve been playing for almost a year now and didn’t know that as a Player Scav Scav Bots won’t aggro. That is so game changing
you are helpful ive been watching ur videos many time to understand and figure out how to play this game thank you a lot
Great vid! A few video examples taken from your streams would have been nice and really make a difference in the effectiveness of this video...
Like some screenshots at least. I still enjoyed the tips though.
Thanks for the helpful information, I’m just getting into the game with my new PC. Having a lot of fun learning the ropes
Thanks for the video, Just bought the game and didn't know what to play as for my first game.

if u aim at them, they will kill u
@@TheMichalkorejtko False.
I dont like being a player scav with good start loot because i want the feeling of having nothing to lose
this series is so helpful and informative. thank you for making these!
I just played as a scav and killed someone and got 2 rifles and bandages a lot of decent loot.
I camped until the timer ran out and then I LOST EVERYTHING. What did I do wrong?
GambitCR you have to go to an extraction point
Yea you have to actually extract from a raid. I did a video on how extractions work in Tarkov! ruclips.net/video/X-0OaYv-E-8/видео.html
Thanks for the vid but does not answer the question I have. I really like to know if there is a limit for player scavs in a game.

I think there is a total limit for how many can be in a raid at one time but if they die more can spawn in. As long as there is a PMC in a raid players scavs can spawn.
I am curious how many pmc's have to be in for scavs to spawn, how many can there still be, min and max reqs. Times for the maps, would love more data
any tips on how to tell what enemy to shoot? im always hesitant on scav who to shoot and it always gets me killed.
Wanna know too
Wanna know too
I like to use a strategy called shoot everything that moves
Helped me alot thanks!
Learning a lot from your videos
Awesome video
if we have identified a player scav and/or a PMC, if he is looking the other way or has not shot at us first and we go on to shoot him first knowing that its a player will the scav agro us??

Nice red phone, gentleman ;)
Cool guide also !
thank u so much for such a wonderful explaination. Helped a lot
6:11 not anymore right? i scaved in on shoreline once, a regular scav on scav island had 2 guns and there was a dead scav with no gun on the ground. i guess the ai loots since some update
Thanks. 👍
Awesome tutorial 😎
much appreciated. well explained
liked n subscribed , thanks.
This video helped a lot thx
Useful but pictures of the black / camo shirt would have been helpful.
Nobody has explained how many AI scavs spawn on all maps when they spawn and how many are player scavs vs AI scavs. And also how many PMC players spawn
Good tips man! Subbed!!
Do player scav still have a pouch slot?
Yep!
my cooldown is 30 minutes and i dont have any items left on PMC because i am a new player, resulting in loosing a lot.
sucks ass if you can only play the game every 30 minutes for 1-15minutes
10 minute cooldown as a scav, I wish that was still true. Awsome video though.
I found this helpful
The info about robotics just sold me on real or fake
Im in 2020 and you got way more helpful with your tip bro ty for all the tips bro :}
great advice
How is "self defense" defined? Does the other playerscav need to hit me? Or is a bullet in my direction (not a hit) enough?
Good question to which I would suggest the answer is yes?
has to hit you
I think its a hit. When you shoot next to SCAV when you are a SCAV yourself they will not atrack you.. so I think the system doesnt recognize it if you mean to attack another SCAV player either.. but its just my assumption
yeah but if you kill a scav say behind a wall how the hell does the other scav 100ft away if he cant see you know it was you and then agro onto you I feel like they need to change it so they only agro if they see you do it not if you have!?
very informative thanks a lot man
Do player scavs spawn at the regular PMC spawn points, at the scav spawns, or at their own separate spawn points?
Kind of both. Scavs have their own spawn points and sometimes those are very similar to PMC spawns
big big help. thanks!
What happens if you go into Scavs with loot
Thanks for the guid
What can I do about the idiots that keep killing me and they’re a scav
Awesome video, thanks for the tips! This may be a silly question, but how do you actually find Scavs? I'm fairly new to the game, have been playing for the past few weeks off/on, and can't seem to find scavs on demand. Is there a trick to locating scavs for the easier loot when you're new?

Do scavs still ignore loot or do they loot? I swear I saw a few scavs loot recently, just wondering if this vid is still relevant
nope as far as i know they still dont loot
Very interesting. Vigor might have Boss AI instead of actual players
When playing offline where does (as online) match to the easy med and hard settings?
As Online is a medium hard, hopefully I wasn't too late!
High scav count is considerably higher 2-3x, horde is like 5-8x the normal scav count.
yeah no. everytime i go into a raid with a scav other player scavs kill me XD i dont see anyone working as a team when it comes to scavs cause like you said. there is no big risk in loosing all the gear since its free.
A Plaesure, as allways 😊
Great vid thanks!!!
Question: why is it that every time I play scav I always have like 4 or 5 min when I get in ( I play on factory most of the time)
you spawn at any point of the game as a scav
Ty nice guide , can i agro IA scav next to me if i search a scav body?
Thanks! Nope, searching a dead scav won’t agro the other ones around.
Good video
PvPvE? Free loadout is very nice compared to jumping in naked and looking for loot in "console Tarkov" Vigor with no AI enemies 😅
someone explain why I got killed by a PMC player when I was in scav? I went to the players stream and seen he had items insured and fully kitted gear that was insured.
for pmcs everybody is hostile doesnt matter if scav, player scav or other pmcs
I wish they would get rid of scav on scav encounters. Basically get rid of friendly fire for scavs.
Doppleganger runs: Going in with a pistol and extra mag, and stealing the first scavs gear, drop original gear.
Go hunt some PMCs, steal their gear, extract.
This doesnt work anymore right?
yeah but u spawn with no healing what so ever.. so if u get injured.. well lets just say ive bled out before finding a exit a few times
thats scary playing as pmc then cuz theres gonna be so many online scavs xD
It would have been nice to see the difference...
Naw man its definitely part of the tension of the game at least for me. Watching them and figuring out if they are players or not before engaging
dude what happen whit the gestures?????
Well, and now all this is useless since scavs dont just have a better walk cycle then most players but also their aim has been upgraded to a aimbot 2x so sometimes they aggro you through an entire forest and kill you with 3 buckshot rounds into your leg from 150m as if they are slugs and ontop of that they do this through 20 treed and 40 bushes. But thanks for the tutorial, helpful for engagements where scavs dont just aimbot you.
I got a lot of xp as a scav but it not adding to my xp I don’t understand this
The xp only counts if you earn it by using your pmc
Needs an update. Scavs are now super random, will sprint, will act like looting by boxes....
Scavs be lootin
"They're gonna be adding more" 👀 ✋ 00:36
I have one question can u play as scav with ur non scav Friend
No
Wait scavs are friendly!?
Scav aim bot too op
Great guides! Thanks! 👍 'd

can AI ever be USEC or BEAR?
Mmmmmmm I smell legs 🥴😋
So could you technically trick a player scav into thinking you're an AI lol?
Yes, but he might like your gun.
400th like
Man was expecting some gameplay along with the dialogue. Disappointed
none of this is relevant any longer
