==Location==
Scav Raiders naturally spawn throughout the Lab location, as well as having a chance to spawn upon activating any of the extraction switches, roaming towards the activation location.
They can also be encountered on Reserve, in the command area of the underground tunnel system at the start of a raid, and additional ones may appear after the "D-2" extraction power switch has been activated. The arrival of the train may also spawn them at the train yard. Additionally, pulling the "Bunker hermetic door" extraction lever may spawn them at the train yard.
==Behavior==
Scav Raiders are advanced Scavs that are considerably stronger and more tactical than everyday Scavs. They fight in groups, often patrolling the Lab and Reserve in squads of 2-4 members. Raiders employ multiple different weapons and tactics, not afraid to flank, rush, and pin down intruding PMCs. Extreme discretion is required when facing Raiders, as unprepared players will often be shot down almost instantly. Raiders often say voice lines while patrolling or fighting and are easily distinguished from Scavs when speaking English.
Scav Raiders start out neutral to other Scavs (including player Scavs), but will get irritated and shout warnings when they get too close. If the warning is ignored, they will open fire. If another Scav has provoked a Raider, it becomes hostile to all other Scavs, therefore it is safer to always assume that they are hostile.
==Strategy==
Because Raiders are able to have up to armor class 5/6 armor vests and armored chest rigs, it is best to bring high penetration ammo to kill them. Without armor-piercing rounds, aiming for the face is vital.
Raiders generally run to cover when shot if the shooter is far away, while within a short to medium distance they will shoot back immediately with deadly accuracy.
Peeking the same angle twice against them is highly discouraged as they will watch an angle if peeked it once, so it is best to keep changing position. It is also best to engage Raiders in close range or in enclosed spaces as there is more cover and it is much easier to land headshots. 
Raiders often use grenades, making any room with only one exit a death trap. It is also useful to use grenades for your own advantage. Grenades are very useful at flushing Raiders out, forcing them out of any cover they may have, which will put them out in the open where they can be dispatched.
