Summary

• Gameplay Adjustments: The game _Escape from Tarkov_ has updated its Scav mechanics, requiring these NPCs to spawn later during raids. Players have welcomed these changes as they stem from a recent survey conducted by the developers, Battlestate Games.

• Feedback Influences Changes: Key changes include a later spawn time starting at 17 minutes into the raid, allowing players a better experience based on community preferences.

• Future Enhancements: Battlestate promises that this is just the beginning and that they will continue to refine Scav gameplay in response to ongoing player feedback.

Moreover, players will now see Scavs equipped with higher quality gear, depending on their Fence reputation. This shift has been influenced by the responses of 36.30% of survey participants expressing a desire for a more significant impact from the Fence rating on the gear quality.

With its full release yet to be dated, the game remains in beta but continues to evolve based on player input.
