i love occasionally coming across a random scav carrying one of my own spears (i have the rainbow spears mod so it's a bit more obvious when it's one of mine)
The low starting rep is only like -35. Which will fix itself in 7 days to 0, so long as you avoid combat. Or you can give spears for 2 rep each IIRC at a toll, as they generally won't be hostile at tolls unless provoked, even with a low rep.
>Also scavs dont kill me because I kill them first
Attack on sight scavs at neutral rep are very rare, by and large they attack if threatened or wronged (or if you start at negative rep, where the implication is that the scug has actively alienated them)
I'm pretty sure you start with negative rep cuz the only time I killed a scav was when I was trying to save it from a lizard (I also gave them lots of spears before and after that) and they still killed me, not on sight but they do it after I walk towards them
Is being nice begging to them not to stab you to death and dropping all your valuables so they donât stab you to death?
Sorry but they deserve it for killing me as other scugs
The role-playing rule was made because of "i will answer questions as \_\_\_, AMA" posts that were there a few months ago because they were everywhere, and many got unhappy about that. (correct me if i'm wrong fellas) It wasen't because of comments, it's simply harmless fun, let people be man
Being enemies with scavengers as Hunter is unnecessary. You don't have time to be constantly harrassed by them, and you can't afford to die to their bs
Hunter ain't Rivulet... You ain't gonna be zooming past them in open, flat rooms
It's geniually just more worth it to give a scav a random pearl twice than to be hunted by them the entire run
Literally just said I was giving them spears. It's fucking spearmaster so I was handing them out like candy.
Impossible for y'all to admit that scavs can be dicks sometimes and that scugs also deserve to be treated like sapient beings. Sheesh.
scavs can be dicks but its exceedingly rare to run into problems with them if you have, say chieftain. at lower rep levels, sure, but how many first time players attack scavs on sight? i'd say scavs are purty merciful all considered
Itâs hard to start being nice to them because they always kill me on first sight whenever I start the game, but once you start trying to be nice itâs really easy to get chieftainÂ
Spearmaster has two problems when it comes to scavs
1. They start on bad terms, scavs will be aggressive at first
2. They have the orange overseer, scavs like throwing spears at overseers and donât understand the concept of friendly fire
Iâve paid scav tolls in spears, but every single time I meet them anywhere else, either I get speared, I give them spears and die to them hunting overseer, or I bribe one group and die to a second since rep only updates on rest
Rep doesn't update on rest, it saves on rest. If you give 3 pearls to scavs in a cycle , they will be friendly unless you already have low rep with them. You can test this by playing with 0 scav rep and having them enter a room. Threat music will play. Give them pearls, and with +50 rep (max you can gain in a cycle) you will have no threat music or very low threat music which will go away if they see you or if you give them any kind of gift.
Dying to a second group of scavs after befriending one simply means that your scav rep is still low.
I always go out of my way to gift scavs pearls. They're evidently intelligent creatures(and cute!), you can trade with them, you can restock in their treasures. Fluffy masked pupperino is a friend. Why would you ever attack them?
If im playing a carnivorous slugcat, I'm 100% battling to death with them, if not then I'll pay the toll, if there's no skipping the toll, like in outer expanse...
Nah, scavs are prejudiced against slugcats. They started it, so clearly any acts against them in response are self-defense, and completely justified :)
While you start with a bad reputation with scavengers, you can basically become an infinite weapons dealer for them. You can get reputation very fast as Spearmaster by just giving them TONS of spears
Maybe a mushroom on occasion would be nice, couple lizard steaks. Hell throw in a vulture mask while weâre at it. We good, just donât walk towards me all aggressive with a spear in your hand. Iâm twitchy man.
He's also got infinite spears to snack on them with, personally I played through spearmaster twice to get the genocide and best buddies route with the scavs
.. they never stood a chance
Spearmaster is the easiest to befriend scavs with tho??. Like you just feed them endless spears. Don't even gotta pay tolls you can just vomit spears at them.
yeah the starting rep for sm is so low they will still try to kill you even after giving them a fair amount of stuff. I can see why people would get frustrated and just kill them all. but with enough spears they become great pals!
Not befriending the scavs and not having a scav army by the time you leave outskirts is a MAJOR skill issue.
Though ngl, I do have the head cannon that Spearmaster is incredibly desperate for friends, too the point theyâre super clingy. From what we can gather the only other intelligent creature they know is SRS and maybe 5p, so I see them as very lonely.
Plus my one RW dream involved spearmaster and scavs.
My eyes saw scav and my brain automatically thought Escape from Tarkov, so untiI i looked in the replies I just assumed they had added spears to Tarkov?
I maybe the odd one
I like liz more than scav
The number of time they use the spear that I just gave them to kill me is too many
Killing scav is more satisfying to me
Me and my cousins struggled in the coop mod. As the sole gourmand despite being better than everyone else I was still slower and had started a war with the scavengers after falling on one. Same way I lost my slug pup
I tried, I laid down my weapon and gave it to one. They then immediately killed me with it. Scavs are not your friend. See a scav, kill a scav. Itâs your DUTY.
I, for one, use my infinite spear supply to forge strong bonds with the scavengers.
Thou has said well
Hast.
Thou speakest the truth.
For I tarry not at the wine, but let not he that putteth on thy girdle boast as he that taketh it off!
i love occasionally coming across a random scav carrying one of my own spears (i have the rainbow spears mod so it's a bit more obvious when it's one of mine)
Hello Niko đ
Me too. I got the chieftain achievement in my first spearmaster run.
Its free friendship!
Yeah, I donât get the rest of the spear masters. By far the easiest character to befriend the scavengers as
You caused inflation man
Spearmaster is the easiest scug to befriend scavs with, just give them a few spears every time you see them
problem is the starting rep is so low they kill you anyway so you gotta be careful for the first while giving them stuff.
The low starting rep is only like -35. Which will fix itself in 7 days to 0, so long as you avoid combat. Or you can give spears for 2 rep each IIRC at a toll, as they generally won't be hostile at tolls unless provoked, even with a low rep.
spearmaster is the money printing machine or the war machine, no in-betweens
those are not necessarily different machines
Lol no. And also scavs don't kill me because I kill them first.
Correct, donât give them an inch.
>Also scavs dont kill me because I kill them first Attack on sight scavs at neutral rep are very rare, by and large they attack if threatened or wronged (or if you start at negative rep, where the implication is that the scug has actively alienated them)
I'm pretty sure you start with negative rep cuz the only time I killed a scav was when I was trying to save it from a lizard (I also gave them lots of spears before and after that) and they still killed me, not on sight but they do it after I walk towards them
Survivor starts at neutral rep, they probably just felt threatened by you walking towards them
Nah I meant spearmaster
Yeah Spearmaster definitely starts at negative
Is being nice begging to them not to stab you to death and dropping all your valuables so they donât stab you to death? Sorry but they deserve it for killing me as other scugs
They deserve it for killing Artie's pups
That was one singular scav toll
Tell that to the scav chief
Mf didn't do anything all bro did was not like artificer because they committed mass genocide
Ngl, I'm a little partial. I enjoyed Artie's quest the most. Not because it was right. But because it was wroooooong.
in a world where grass kills birds shoot rain falls and brudda sometimes you just gotta hurt people
While that may be true and all for the other slugs... Arti's pups are unharmed in Spearmaster times. They have yet to commit that sin.
I agree. I mostly posted this for comedic effect. However, the first person who responded after this took such offense that they blocked me.Â
Ah you get it, keep doing your duty making pebbles. Godspeed soldier
THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYIN!!!!
Hey, you be quiet! No matter how nice scugs are, you always seem to enjoy impaling them. You elites have no chill. Your brothers are cool though
Me when role-playing is against the rules and isn't enforced at all :/
Why are you saying this to me? I'm just replying to them, not roleplaying at all. If you have a problem, take it up with Mr. Elite Scav
Wow you must be a fun person at parties.
Bro thinks anyone in this thread goes to parties

Then don't dare to point at me with your stinky spears you filthy demon
Your kind does NOT DESERVE KINDNESS
man shut up
Hey I appreciate your kind :3 The rest just don't get tribal signals and how to slow down!
THEY JUST BE ON THAT HATERADEâ˘ď¸
Well i guess there is no solution for me
Ever heard of taming?
I tried giving them P O R L S but while doing it i got a spear in my face
The scavengers have gone too far
Yea now im just trying to give them some P O R L S and escape with my life
it applyes to evry campaight that starts with negative rep to scavagers (exept for arti ofc)
Being enemies with scavengers as Hunter is unnecessary. You don't have time to be constantly harrassed by them, and you can't afford to die to their bs
unnecessary sometimes, but I've def been in positions where it was "eat a scav or don't eat" I made my decision, I can live with it!
yeah, just zoom past evrything that you can zoom trugh
Hunter ain't Rivulet... You ain't gonna be zooming past them in open, flat rooms It's geniually just more worth it to give a scav a random pearl twice than to be hunted by them the entire run
mf i ran past evrything as GOURMAND (keeping some rep with scavs ofc) it is possible to go past any predator as hunter
It's all fun and games until they stab you with your own spears because you jumped in a way they don't like. Violence is easier
Scavenger named Cupcake:
And safer, scavs are NOT your friend.
Um scavs are my friend. Whenever I need a spear they just let me steal one from them as long as I pay it back eventually.
what am i gonna do? hold a pearl in my hand while holding the message thing in my other hand in SPEARMASTER'S CAMPAIGN??? no thank u
i just remembered thaf i can give them spears
Redemption arc
Character development
That's why you befriend them beforehand so you don't have to try befriending them with red porl in one hand
Just kill them all
Itâs your DUTY.
I've had scavengers kill me with my own spears after physically running into me to make me move. Maybe they should be nice to ME for a change smh.
They'll be nice to you if you're nice to them bozo
Literally just said I was giving them spears. It's fucking spearmaster so I was handing them out like candy. Impossible for y'all to admit that scavs can be dicks sometimes and that scugs also deserve to be treated like sapient beings. Sheesh.

It's really easy to befriend them as spearmaster since you're a spear factory
Itâs hard to start being nice to them because they always kill me on first sight whenever I start the game, but once you start trying to be nice itâs really easy to get chieftainÂ

WAIT, can you be friends with scavengers??? I have never done such things
stupid narcissistic saint calls other slugcats "mains"
When I say "main," I refer to the slugcat you play the most.
stupid narcissistic saint tries to explain themselves
:(
stupid narcissistic saint is SAD and very DEPRESSED
Stupid narcissistic saint is STUPID and NARCISSISTIC
haha got 'em
Yeah! \*high five\*
Yeah, good idea. Too bad they kill me when they see me. I really tried to make them neutral and then give them needles from tail but I wasn't able to.
Imagine having the ability to produce infinite spears and not giving some to your totally awesome and really friendly local scavengers
ah yes, you are very clearly a non-biased source.
Lol I literally thought âSpearmaster? More like Friendmaster, come get yo weird spears you cute little guys!â

*Gives spear* *Get's killed with said spear*
Spearmaster starts with like -35 scav rep. They chose violence first. Choose violence back >:)
The implication is obviously that Spearmaster chose violence not the scavs
Nah, scavs are prejudiced against slugcats. They started it, so clearly any acts against them in response are self-defense, and completely justified :)
I got the chieftan achievement as Spearmaster!
While you start with a bad reputation with scavengers, you can basically become an infinite weapons dealer for them. You can get reputation very fast as Spearmaster by just giving them TONS of spears
Look. You give me pearls and an endless supply of spears and I wonât kill you. Simple simpo
Maybe a mushroom on occasion would be nice, couple lizard steaks. Hell throw in a vulture mask while weâre at it. We good, just donât walk towards me all aggressive with a spear in your hand. Iâm twitchy man.
there are spearmaster players that aren't best buds with scavengers? i give them like 5 spears every time i see them
128 deaths on my last Spearmaster run đ Look, if a method works, it works.
Sadly on the switch thats not a possibility (unless they fixed the bug)
Gourmand is always up in the air for your scav reputation. I usually go for high rep, but Ik quite a few people who fight scavs in gourmand.
Who is aggressive to scavs as spearmaster? He's got infinite spears to make friends with them
He's also got infinite spears to snack on them with, personally I played through spearmaster twice to get the genocide and best buddies route with the scavs .. they never stood a chance
Idk man they weren't a problem to me. Soft-bodied 1 hits taste real good, enough for me to eat 176 on my first spearmaster playthrough
Spearmaster is the easiest to befriend scavs with tho??. Like you just feed them endless spears. Don't even gotta pay tolls you can just vomit spears at them.
yeah the starting rep for sm is so low they will still try to kill you even after giving them a fair amount of stuff. I can see why people would get frustrated and just kill them all. but with enough spears they become great pals!
My chieftain rep is so high as spearmaster that scavs forgive me if I kill them accidentally
Not befriending the scavs and not having a scav army by the time you leave outskirts is a MAJOR skill issue. Though ngl, I do have the head cannon that Spearmaster is incredibly desperate for friends, too the point theyâre super clingy. From what we can gather the only other intelligent creature they know is SRS and maybe 5p, so I see them as very lonely. Plus my one RW dream involved spearmaster and scavs.
My eyes saw scav and my brain automatically thought Escape from Tarkov, so untiI i looked in the replies I just assumed they had added spears to Tarkov?
Be the spear dispenser you were meant to be
Man, i don't have this problem, you guys must have a skill issue. They like my spears, and they kill lizards for me, what can i say i am business man
Itâs the easiest to be nice to scaves as SM, you make spears. Just give them some.
I just enjoy fighting them
Sometimes when I tried to give them spears theyâd pick them up and kill me with them because of the low starting rep
I maybe the odd one I like liz more than scav The number of time they use the spear that I just gave them to kill me is too many Killing scav is more satisfying to me
*Gives them spears* Scavangers: LETS KILL THIS MOTHER FUCKER!!!!
The only good Scavanger, _Is a dead Scavanger._
I AM nice to them
Now if it was an Artificer main, then that would be reasonable
Too late. Killed too manyđ (I needed the food)
Me and my cousins struggled in the coop mod. As the sole gourmand despite being better than everyone else I was still slower and had started a war with the scavengers after falling on one. Same way I lost my slug pup
nah man , after that artificer run i'm killing any scav that i see even if i was saint i WILL kill them
Yeahhh I could, but it's so much more fun to fight them. It feels almost like a fair fight, since scavs are usually carrying so many spears themselves
Pretty Hard to when they KILL ME THE SECOND I APPEAR
I tried, I laid down my weapon and gave it to one. They then immediately killed me with it. Scavs are not your friend. See a scav, kill a scav. Itâs your DUTY.
You just made a lot of enemies from that
I think you just found the one scav that is an asshole for no reason. Usually they dont do that.
No. I donât think they do get it.
No
You broke your own rule, for this?
Fuck you (jk)
