One of the most overlooked and even unknown features in Escape from Tarkov has to be Scav Karma and how it works. TLDR You will gain reputation with the trader Fence when you do good things as a scav and even a PMC for some stuff. Then you’ll lose rep with him when you do bad things as a scav.

Although I do sometimes get a hand from BSG and occasionally get to talk to Nikita or other members of the team, I do not work for BSG. I also work entirely off public information and past experiences of working in game dev myself, as well as following this game closely for several years. Unless I state very clearly otherwise, the information you’re about to hear should be taken as speculation. You can either get no information or speculation, that’s all we have to go off of these days unfortunately which is why it’s easier to just say Thursday whenever anyone asks for dates. If you want hard facts and dates you won’t get them, period.

I'm getting so many replies about different info I've asked BSG to clarify and will make a new video when they do. All the numbers I said here were the best I had but clearly something is up. Generally speaking nothing is so wrong it will ruin you. Actually if anything it's easier probably to get positive karma and not lose so much. Actions are the same the numbers seem to be changing – will update another time.
What about penatly for killing scavs while having reputation above 6.0? Last wipe I had to kill a player scav who tried to kill me but failed to deal damage to me. I had 7.35 rep and I lost 1.5 for that single scav kill. I hope BSG fixed it this wipe because if penalties are still that high then I won't even bother with grinding my rep to max level considering I can loose weeks worth of rep grind to one greedy player scav.
Honestly not a terrible premise but one of the worst implemented ideas in tarkov
High scav rep is pretty sweet. I basically had my scav always up which means I got lots of free roubles.
I have a dream that you will get rep for loot you leave on your scav when turning back to the main menu
I kill two player scav that shot at me first and I lose total -0.1 rep
so wt should i do huh?
let those fker kill me for free?
When you say use car extract no more than two. Does that mean 2 per day or what?
Santa was kinda bullshit, -1 karma for killing him while playing as a PMC. I hope they reimburse any lost scav karmaa from santa kills.
This is bullshit I've got -5 from killing Santa
i have -13 xddd
If you can buy ammo from uninsured gear from fence it will be op
Meet fake Santa at night on Customs not really fun I would say :/
I skipped last wipe, started this wipe. Had no idea about scav karma and instantly racked up a -3.22 with fence.
Im glad you motha fckers have gotta wait 45 min for a scav like me. Let the world burn!
I have had some raids where I have killed a player scav who shot me/killed a buddy as a player scav and gotten no rep bonus for it. Same with killing PMC’s as a scav. I killed two last night on Lighthouse and got no rep bonus for killing them.
so can scavs take the car extract if they have the money? because i tested it and it didnt work. unless you mean a pmc going for the car extract but i dunno if that increases fence rep.
So get rid of Santa!!! Lol he isn’t helping anyone
fence don't sell "PMC" gears , thats wrong fact .
Inshored hehe
i killed santa twice cuz i didnt know 😭😭
Useless carma. I don't need better gear, i can kill for it.
I don't need PST Gzh from Fence, i can kill for it.
no need in friendship, only blood matters.
Blood for the Blood God.
My scav is bugged and I lose -0.01 rep ever raid I survive on my scav.
Killed Tagilla 3 times as a scav with high karma and I only ever lost 0.3
I killed Santa a few times on accident, so my rep is ruined now.
i had a 3.0 karma and santa was hit in the crossfire 2 raids in a row today. dont know why he is in the game after new year but whatever. im not grinding my scav karma back up and me and my friend just decided to go rouge on scavs, im happy for anyone who got their scav karma to 6.0 but im not grinding it back. good luck on the battlefield.
