scav farming scavs.....

[Leather_Moose]

I notice more often than not that player scavs (apparently decent players - probably have lvl 30+ pmc) join factory and start farming NPC scavs and Scav players (pretty much killing every thing on sight) for no reason. they sit in the game room untill 2-3 mins remains and than exit. They dont try to hide, they constantly chase down every one else.

 

My question is: what is the point of doing it? at least on PMC the xp you get from such farming count towards your character, but as a scav, why would you do it? 

 

also want to ask, how the hell do they stay alive that long on their scav, while ruthlessly killing every one else, i bet scav NPC or other players probably shot them and could of killed. Personally i was unable to kill any one of those players as it seems that they are using some sort of a see through walls hack paired with aimbot. not only i got 2 streams showing the thing that occurs, but also i see how they, not knowing where i am exactly, hunt me down and when i see them (knowing they coming), they roll out from behind the corner already shooting at me - precisely aiming for head shot, like literally know where my head is positioned. most i can do is shoot once in return before i die.

Gear, loot, keys and rare stuff. Oh and just because they can.

And that pre-fire bs is usually because of desync. On their screen they've already run around the corner and they start firing at you, while on your screen they are still behind corner which causes the pre-fire effect.

ok good to know at least some info. the whole desync crap is bad, i get that very very often.

The thing is, at the end there is a chance for rare scav spawns. The Scavs can have fort armor and other high gear.

Also a lot of players need quest items.

Like the white armor or 10 scav masks and stuff.

With a team in factory it is somewhat easy to farm.

there are also 4 new loot crates in Factory. They can even spawn m4's  got three out of factory lately.

some used scav to train their game knowledge, aim, skills and even get loot with zero risk of using their pmc gear
i personally used scav run to get keys, knowing map, and even mapping the Scav route and Behavior 
but on factory, i used scav to train my combat skills because a pistol can do good if you are lucky and know what you are doing
