What I want to know is more over why do NPC Scavs aggro you when a PC Scav attempts to light you up but you kill him in retaliation? That is something that TRULY bugs me and is more annoying then getting instantly PK'd on spawn in.

Because at the moment AI is programmed to shoot anyone attacking a scav, regardless of who shot first.
Your best course of action would be not to retaliate, run away and let the AI scavs handle it, eventually killing your aggressor after the scavs are done (i.e. dead).

If you attempt to run away you are already dead in almost every situation (I've tried running several times). It seems like an oversight more then anything. 

 

All it really does is just encourages you to fire first on everything so as to not get unlucky and get screwed and hope you can get out asap.

to reply to op, some scav players have crap gear and want an upgrade. otherimes they dont want to risk turning their back.
Some people just want to PVP, regardless of circumstances.

Do a wiggle, if they dont. drop em asap.

 

Ill go up against scav AI, ill shoot players if there aggressive or i panic.

Sometimes I try to play friendly and get killed by the other scav. Depending on how things happens, sometimes I kill the other scav player because I`m afraid. 

I believe they should punish scavs that kill other scavs by raising the time until they`re able to use the next scav and weakening the gear their scavs start with every time that happens until player can barely play as a scav. On the other hand, if you play it right and gain XP during the match you should be rewarded with better scavs (better Skills, better guns, backpack, whatever) and lowering the time for the next scav until it reaches a minimum time.

Hay, this is a scav world, its kill anything to get your ass out of the map. Player scavs can kill as far as Im concerned.I will always wiggle at another player scav, there so easy to make out from a normal scav. But if they start shooting there a dead scav. Its not hard to escape a map with all the PMC and scavs then trying to kill you, you just need to learn the game a bit more.

 

Helpful advise, if your being shot at especially by a scav DO NOT RUN, they will kill you instantly. Best bet either run a very short distance for cover if possible, or lye down, evaluate where the scav is and shoot that guy in the head.

The system is going to change just not high on the devs priority list.

SCAV on SCAV violence is very much wasted potential, you can basically be really effective if SCAVs would group up against PMCs and / or AI. Building a SCAV army is so much fun and would lead to much better loot for everyone participating, than the stuff you rip off other SCAVs.

But many SCAV players actually don't care. From my experience wiggling most time leads to certain death, as many are attacking more than ever if they've identified you as player SCAV. Referring to game lore it is absolutely okay, SCAVs are no noble men and it's a brutal world. In my case, after some wipes I accepted that the most secure thing for myself is to kill on sight, even AI SCAVs unless i'm surrounded by them, because sometimes it is already too late until you are certain if it's AI or player. 

Anyway, still wasted potential. :-)
