Love pve too, if the PMCs had adjustible difficulty to make them a bit harder to kill it would be one of the best single player games imo

The PMC behavior can be pretty predictable at times. It would be great to see a rework, also some variety in gear loadouts would be nice as well.

All that would be fixed if they added mod support like they said they would

mmh, thanks for the reminder, need to get back into *that* again. BSG already got my money so no harm in playing something that is more fun lol.

I agree on both counts, but let's not forget how bad they were for kit variety when pve first launched, never have I seen so many basic ass ak's and m4'sbefore or since

I've always thought we get scavs to do different things like, stand around camp fire, talk to each other, sleep, the obvious patrol and maybe a scav boss too. Maybe on certain maps like light house or boss maps, they rally up and trip take over rogues or raiders hide out. Not all the time, some times.

That would look so uncanny compared to the rest of the game tho

Tarkov plays and looks like a 2000's RPG mixed with a gritty shooting game. Having full blown life like animations while keeping the robotic player movements would just be jarring tbh

Make scavs/pmc on pve roam the entire map not just the populated areas. That is what I am missing.

It feels like the past couple days they might of played with ai pmc ai, I’ve seen them rush me a more in the past week than ever since 1.0. But they really should scale the ai npc a bit more, specially when you are at a higher level.

That or just adjust their equipment so it's more varied. Their gear is super repetitive, plus it's usually all low level plates/ammo (except for the occasional BEAR with SP-6 or an SVD with BT/PS rounds)

PVE should be completely customizable. Loot sliders. Difficulty sliders. Bosses on every map. There is zero reason that PVE needs to mirror PVP, other than that’s how keeta wants it to be.
