EFT Scav ESP distance caps

There is no universal Scav ESP range. On dense maps (Factory, Ground Zero, parts of Streets) Reddit “weird behavior” reports often describe players reacting to AI they could not hear — that is usually uncapped scav ESP. For AI scavs, 80–150 m is enough for pathing. Boss markers can sit farther. Player scavs should share PMC-like colors so you do not treat a geared player scav like a free kill. Cap boss ESP separately if labs/raider markers clutter the radar.

Keep a “PvE scav run” preset with wider world ESP and a “PMC contested” preset that hides most AI beyond mid-range. Community threads stress that closet cheats avoid obvious rage hacks; information overload is what creates unnatural clears. Pair scav filters with combat mode so loot/world ESP drops when a PMC tag enters your FOV.
