Battlestate Games, the developer behind Escape From Tarkov has revealed that Extract Campers have it coming. Yes, they are going after them, and those who are rotten enough to be waiting for players on an extraction point just to get easy loot are going to get in trouble.
While it’s not a scaling one or otherworldly, Nikita, Battlestate Game’s COO has revealed that they will be punished by reducing their in-game Karma. In-game Karma is usually used for better prices at Fence, or higher authority when playing as a Scav. This usually results in a milder engagement with other AI Scavs and Bosses, but only if you play as a Scav.
The Karma system is made to incentivize Scavs to not shoot each other and cooperate in taking down a much bigger fish, such as PMCs. So whatever you’ve been doing to get the Karma points up, using vehicle extract, eliminating PMCs, or else, will be lost once you engage in this.
New Boss that will hunt players with bad Karma
Now, this all adds up in a way. In an interview with Pestily, Nikita said that those sitting in bushes will get negative Karma, which is a system that’s being tested right now. Apparently, there will be a new Boss that will be added to the game that will be hunting players with bad Karma. He said:
For example, if you will sit in the bushes too long at the extraction it will account the negative karma.
Now combined with the new boss, they will have a bad time. So, make sure you avoid becoming an Extract Camper and play the game as it is supposed to be played. What do you think about this?
