scav War on Legs 2018

[Kedzie 41]

Every single Scav I encounter aims and shoots almost exclusively at my legs. What sense does that make in the game's setting? Why would scavengers aim at someone's legs with a shotgun? I understand that it is a reasonable choice given armour mechanics (as legs are unarmoured), but your everyday enemy won't prioritize lower body parts. They'll aim for centre mass! Every raid I go into my armour loses little to no points from damage, but legs are instantly blacked out from the first shot of some far away shotgun Scav with impeccable aim. Conversely, when I down a Scav, I manage to nearly destroy their armour. Why should the AI's behaviour be any different?
