What is Scav karma, and how does it work?
With the most recent wipe, Battlestate Games has introduced a new Scav "Karma" system.
When players choose their "Scav" characters when selecting a raid to join, I know that they'll be able to gain and lose karma, and I know that this has positive and negative effects, but I'm not sure what they are or how to gain or lose karma.
So... That said... What influences Scav karma, and what does Scav karma mean for me? What are the results of having a higher or lower Scav karma level?

At higher Scav karma levels, you will be able to sell gear to Fence and receive more money than you normally would at lower karma levels. At maximum Fence reputation (as in, max Scav karma level), you will see and be able to purchase the lost items that PMCs have left in raid from Fence.How does scav karma work now?
Losing 2.1 rep from fence at lvl6 karma is so broken. I dont even bother having a weapon out on my scav anymore. It literally takes away any means of self-defense for max scav karma players.The Complete Guide To Scav Karma In Escape From Tarkov! - Patch 12.11
