Want to increase your scav karma in Escape from Tarkov? Take a read of this guide!
Escape from Tarkov is filled with many different respect and rapport levels, whether it be between Prapor, Peacekeeper, Mechanic, or any other of the traders. The respect, also known as rep, is directly affected by the completion of tasks, once completing a task for a merchant, the player will experience a reward of increased rep towards that specific trader. You can check the rep by looking in the top right of the trader screen and it will be between 0.00 and 10.00. This same respect system is used within the Flea market, the higher the rep the more items the player can sell.
Scav karma works the same way as the other respect systems amongst traders. You can complete small sidequests for Fence, raising your rep, however, there are other ways you can both increase and decrease your scav karma in-game. Your scav karma can be seen in the same location as other merchants' respect levels within Fences merchant page. Arguably, Fences karma, also known as scav karma, is the most important respect level to worry about and maintain due to the devastating effects it portrays in-game.
Your scav karma directly affects how the scav AI treats you in-game, specifically when you are playing as a player-scav. Additionally, your scav karma affects your personal player scav, affecting the weapon, armor, spawn items, and spawn times it has. Appearing slightly confusing, all these details will be explained below for you to understand!
What Is Scav Karma In Escape from Tarkov
Must Read
Scav Karma is essentially a measurement of how "good" of a scav you are personally, whether you murder fellow player scavs, engage scav AI, or instead if you, help AI scavs and other player scavs instead of killing them. Your scav Karma is reflected within Fence's merchant page, showing you your scav rep, it can be negative or positive and measured the same as other trader respect levels. Every time you murder a fellow scav in cold blood when operating a player-scav, your scav karma is lowered and therefore affects you in ways you cannot imagine. On the contrary, if you murder a "rouge" player-scav (a player-scav who's killing other scavs for no reason) you receive positive scav karma, raising your Fence respect.
