Scav Karma farming works best when every raid has a clear purpose. Random Scav runs help slowly, but strong progress usually comes from combining safe extracts, vehicle extracts, co-op extracts, and Fence tasks while avoiding reputation penalties.

Let’s dive into this moral conundrum. Raiders are not your average AI Scavs. These guys are tougher, meaner, and generally a lot more dangerous. Killing raiders won’t harm your Scav Karma. So, feel free to take them out.
Not all of them play by the same rules. Some bosses have a higher threshold for aggression, and their decision to attack can depend on various factors, including the specific boss and the circumstances. Even with a high Scav rep, approach bosses with caution. In some cases, high Scav Karma might not only prevent bosses from attacking but also turn them into powerful allies.
Scav Karma is the reputation system connected to Fence. Your current Scav Karma is shown as Fence reputation, and it affects Scav-related benefits, trader value, cooldowns, and AI Scav behaviour.
You can increase Scav Karma by extracting as a Scav, using vehicle extracts as PMC, using co-op extracts, completing Scav tasks from Fence, killing traitor Scavs, helping Scavs, and killing PMCs who have killed Scavs. Each method gives different reputation gains.
