    • Although there are certain times that players spawn as Scavs, the majority of real players belong to PMC. Scavs are majorly filled with bots.
    • Since the updates, bots have come close to imitating human players. However, it is quite noticeable that they are not. This is one of the major differences between Scav and PMC in Escape From Tarkov.
    • Before firing, Scavs usually shout in Russian which makes it easier to identify them.
    • While most players are silent in their movement, the bots will make certain sounds that will help you find them.
