Developer Battlestate Games today released the newest playable faction for their highly anticipated first person shooter Escape from Tarkov. The “Scavs” are a playable side faction that allows you to team up in gangs of up to four players, to grab as much loot before dying and add whatever you have looted to the arsenal of your main character. Scavs are an alternate way to take part in combat, without the fear of losing everything that you’ve found or brought into the raid.
Escape from Tarkov is a hardcore story-driven MMO featuring elements of FPS and RPG. The events take place in the Russian city of Tarkov, which has been sealed off by roadblocks and sunk into the chaos of local warfare between private military companies. Scavs are citizens that have become marauders and thugs, who chose to stay in Tarkov during the city’s evacuation to loot whatever the other inhabitants have left behind. They are deprived of any moral values, they have no far-reaching plans and the only motivation they have is the itch for easy gain.
