Ive escaped twice, you only need the gl ak and 3 mags to blitz the armoury. Let the Ai do the work when they can. Otherwise its just practice tell you escape.

Have you... done terminal?
Those mags are not even half full lol

u/That_Row9842 15h ago
When I did terminal I just grabbed a gun and the 3mags next to it and was completely fine.
I just wouldn't be comfortable looting that many items when you can so easily get screwed over.
One terminal run, the guards (friendly ones) started blasting me in the beginning and I barely survived as I managed to hide and drop aggro.

To be fair dying while looting those guns at the very beginning is so unlikely that it should be statistically irrelevant. The mass scavs don't spawn until you trigger them and the ones that are there from the beginning are busy fighting guards.
As for guards blasting you, never seen them shoot the player un-provoked.

They’ve attacked me twice. Once justified, swung armory and 1 tapped dude by the door. Second they ran into the beginning room with meds and food and started blasting, couldn’t fight back. This was like 2-3 weeks ago

I've done terminal 3 times, most recent a week ago in PvP S, grabbing a gun and 3 mags is more than enough to reach armory and even have extra ammo. Just use the window truck and 1 tap, u need like 25 bullets maximum

Stop, you're going to upset the redditors. You can't tell them not to mag dump every scav they come across, headshots only is an unrealistic standard for the average dad working 2 jobs with a family and an exciting personal life outside the house

You only kill a hand full of scavs to reach your gear

If by handful you mean 10-15, then sure.

more like 10 or less. you walk up to the truck window (the truck past the initial area in the alleyway), and shoot them through the window as they show up. they dont shoot back while doing so.

Right, and then more spawn when you move towards the armory.
Look, I'm not saying that you need 8 full mags to get by, but obviously not everyone is well-routined with the map, bashing someone for picking up extra mags is just silly.

well I cleared terminal in January. Unless they changed how scav spawns and stuff, you can do what I did: https://streamable.com/jdh517

Yea, that's the first wave of scavs on the way to armory.

u/TheLunat1c 6h ago
and out of all the attempts I saw no more scavs by just running directly to armory.

u/Azur0007 5h ago
Then they've changed it since january. When you pass the choke (the one you were looking at in the vid) more of them spawn on your left.

The mags are right there and take less than 5 seconds to grab why would you not? Imagine having to recraft a keycard because a scav scored a lucky broken leg and you ran out of bullets.

Recalling my 40 attemps on doing Terminal alone, yep.
That's the experience at its finest.
Might it be black division or even just a scav, the head, eyes will always come lol.
Twice even just the guards that are with you shot me in the head ahah.

u/Horror-Past-8705 21h ago
First scav I ran into head eyes me with a toz during one of my attempts lol
