I think this is one part of the lore they may have overlooked a bit. We know the city is sealed off by the UN, we know that the two PMC factions fought in the whole region, we know that the scavs are former civilian types turned gang members, we know that there are cultists who awoke after everyone else left, and we know that the scav raiders are former "first wave" PMCs.
What about the actual local authorities/services/police besides Therapist?
External link →police mostly got evacuated, remaining part gone rogue became scavs. Very small part stayed on self-duty in the city, decided to help lost people and fight with scavs.
I hope to see in the future scavs with a bit more police clothings :D
planned™ perhaps
Reshala's guards are ex-police, they wear ДПС jackets
Weren't they initially announced as veterans ?
nope
My first Nikita reply :o I feel so honored to be in your presence. I've been with this game from the very beginning, having played Contract Wars in 2015. If you don't mind me asking, will we maybe get the ORSIS T-5000? It was one of the most beloved weapons from CW.
yes its planned
Any chance we will ever see small UN and Scav outposts defended by them? Would create a lot of emergent gameplay as taking one on would be very difficult. The reward being a realistically stocked small armory.
yes
