At the beginning of 2020, Escape from Tarkov blossomed into the (meanwhile) most popular game on Twitch. Among other things, this is also thanks to big streamers, who at this point show increased interest in the survival shooter. Among the most popular streamers of Escape from Tarkov is also summit1g, which is currently not too good to talk about the game.
"The Scavs in Escape from Tarkov are unbeatable"
The reason for this: According to him, Escape from Tarkov is currently struggling with a "broken NPC spawn system". In the game there are NPCs called »Scav«, which are supposed to make exploring and looting more difficult in addition to human opponents.
However, Scavs do not disappear from the current match as soon as they are shot down, but rather respawn after their virtual death. And it is precisely this fact that is currently angry with summit1g.
Summit1g had to deal with a relatively large number of scavs in one of his last Escape-from-Tarkovs streams after he was unable to find other human players. And although he did one scav at a time, the NPCs ultimately managed to kill summit1g's character.
Accordingly, summit1g turned to the developers with corresponding frustration (and with various expletives): According to him, it is no fun to shoot down one scav after the other when they respawn anyway. So it is not possible for any player to master the overwhelming power of the scavs who cannot be killed.

What would the alternative to the current enemy respawn be?
As an alternative to the scavs' current respawn system, summit1g suggests that, for example, an NPC counter could be introduced in Escape from Tarkov: In such a system there could be a limited number of scavs from which the ongoing match could be cleaned. What would remain "only" the threat from human adversaries.
Whether this is a suggestion that the developer Battlestate Games can make friends with is of course questionable: After all, there are not only loots from other players or from dealers and in the flea market, but also in loot caches distributed on the map.
This would theoretically make it easy for players to clean the maps of scavs, farm loot and, if necessary, even talk to each other. And that in turn would throw the game's balance out of joint, but above all it would destroy the real appeal of Escape from Tarkov.
