Scav Sense

[Xaduk]

Gonna be my first and possibly last post.

 

I'll start by saying I'm salty but not? Seeing as how the wipe was coming I figured I would do it up. Bought a T-5000 and reaper and headed to woods geared to the hilt just to try the thermal. Looks interesting, not nearly as OP as people have claimed since most brush and such still covers your target but it does obviously heavily highlight that arm/leg/etc. that isn't hidden.

 

That being said the point of this post is more about Scav senses. I get in a fight between two scavs that I later find out have SKS's and not even any scopes of any kind yet they are firing/tagging me from lord knows where as I spin 360 with thermal and see nothing. I do eventually kill them by hiding in a bunker and drawing them out but it is the strangest thing that a scav with a 15k non-modded gun can see better than the 400k+ gun I put together with the highest tier stuff.... and on the flip side as long as it's mildly dark a scav can't see me poking him in the shoulder when to my eyes it was pretty clear.

 

So Scav sense... how do I get it? Can this be a headset/scope/etc. I'd like the ability to be a bat where my sense of vision is absolute garbage but apparently I have ecco location - cause that'd be neat!

 

Anyway just a random thought that tickled me a little bit. The contrast of day/night - day giving them super powers and night making them useless.

So I guess you failed to read the part where I did kill them which is how I was able to confirm neither had more than iron sights.... but ok boomer.

Well... the entire game is about being realistic so I would disagree but it's more that it seems a strange contrast that a little bit of darkness makes them unable to hit the broad side of a barn but in the daylight they can fire through thick cover over long distances with iron sights. You either get spiderman or his red-headed step brother with the lazy eye.

imagine you could kill scavs without using thermal

but yeah was just kidding i read the whole text first time, i just dont see a problem with a scavs, once you know where they spawn and wander around they arent invisible anymore
