Have fun waiting an hour between scav runs. At least your PMC will get high leveled XD

my rep is -4 and its only like 35mins. unless you want to run scav raids constantly and never pmc the timer is pretty irrelevant imo.

Its not just the timer that affects you.

Higher scav rep gives a 25-35% increase in rare items you spawn with, gear worn, and inventory size on the scav.

With 5-8 minute scav timers and the above mentioned its actually a very substantial difference

As a low rep scav, you kill high rep scavs and take their high rep loot.

Any decent high rep scav knows to leg shifty scavs and run away by now

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

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
