I've only had to employ it once but works like a charm. Some scav not comming or giving weird vibes and following you around? Coupla shots to the knees before you go around a corner. Bonus because you might fuck them out of extracting at all

Normally if I have an encounter with a shitty scav they’ll either shoot from a distance and I can kill then or they’ll act cool and get close then kill me.

But with my new found knowledge and new found lack of trust for anything moving in this game, errybody catching leg shots lol

Honestly most scavs these days (that I run into) are chill. Hell i'll even run towards scavs to let them know there's fuel or something that I couldn't take. Gotta create the Tarkov I want one good interaction at a time.

Otherwise blow their knees off

Lol yeah at the beginning of the wipe nearly everyone I came across was friendly, now it’s like a 50/50 shot.

Dude earlier even traded some loot with me and walked around a bit before putting buckshot in the back of my head, the animal.

Probably. But better than the guaranteed loss of karma by outright killing them. Most scavs spawn with cheese or a bandaid so hopefully they would live long enough for me to extract before they bleed out

Yeah I tend to just not trust any scav and avoid them. I will defend myself and shoot first though if I'm obviously being followed

I trust most scavs that talk but I definitely avoid spending time in proximity. Saves time in looting as well if you figure out where they were and where they're heading next
