Instead, they find themselves battling PMCs together.
What does this mean? Players can play alongside the AI without the AI killing or fighting against them. Once every 20-40 minutes ( depending on scav karma), players can enter a raid as the Scav faction, joining arms with the AI army we typically destroy within our PMC runs. The game provides a dramatic struggle for most players, especially new ones, trying to survive by obtaining loot, killing enemies, and completing tasks. However, scav factions see a goldmine filled with companionship and loot.
Escape from Tarkov provides a vast wasteland for the PMCs.
