There was a lot more included in the latest Tarkov patch than just \u201cImproved AI Behaviour\u201d changes, but in addition to the Customs expansion, they\u2019ve definitely been some of the most noticeable. In particular, they\u2019ve made the AI Scavs roaming around the various areas of Tarkov act vastly different than players were previously used to. The scavengers are now more prone to moving quickly, and they can rush players as a group. This new tactic has definitely overwhelmed some of us already, but it\u2019s paying big dividends for some. Like a lot of things in Tarkov, it all depends on where you are. If you\u2019re caught out in the open by a hostile group of AI, you\u2019re going to have a bad time. But, as you can see in the clip below, some players have been able to corral the Scavs somewhat and take advantage of the new group rush tactic. Amazing and hilariously appropriate S.T.A.L.K.E.R. music aside, the clip above does a great job of showing why some players are absolutely loving the new AI functions. Obviously, if you\u2019re able to pull this off without dying yourself, there will be a nice pile of Scav loot waiting for you as a reward \u2013 definitely something to consider for your next bare-bones raid. Even if you\u2019re fully kitted out and in no need of the low-tier loot Scavs usually have on them, this tactic can still definitely be useful for dealing with large groups of hostile AIs if they manage to spot you and decide to rush you. It\u2019s currently unknown whether or not this strat would also work on Scav bosses or their followers, since they tend to act differently than your run of the mill AI. If you do decide to test it though, let us know how it goes and whether or not it works on Twitter @Dexerto. We would suggest not bringing your very best gear to try it out, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Escape from Tarkov 0.12.7 AI update is giving players mountains of loot Battlestate Games[jwplayer 91I9RIGm] Escape from Tarkov\u2019s 0.12.7 patch made a number of updates to the behavior of AI NPCs in the game, and the results are apparently working out quite well for some players.
