Level your Scav up for free gear
Tarkov is utterly relentless, but if you’re down on your luck, Scav runs are a great way to turn your fortunes around. Scavs are a secondary character that you can play as–they’re basically a local raider with randomly assigned gear and weapons. Unlike your PMC, Scavs aren’t tied to your overall progression, and if you die, you lose nothing. They also won’t activate other AI Scavs unless provoked, meaning you can move around most players without instantly drawing fire, giving you more time and space to loot.
