tl;dr each successful scav raid gives access to better geared scav for next raid, resets when raid is failed.

May add additional requirements for balance and to avoid abuses, for example: need xx time spent in raid, xxx exp gained, only non-party scav raids count.

1st variant

In this variant you basically get better geared scav after each successful raid, let's call it level. You get better geared scav until you die in raid. After failed raid you start grinding from the scratch, with the worst geared scav. There is a limit for levels, after finishing raid with best geared scav you start from the beginning.

Here is rough example on how "leveling" would work (note, it's not balanced, so don't pay attention to gear itself):

1. First level worst gear in the game. Weapon: Makarov, TOZ, 10-rounds VPO-209. No armor, no helmet, scav vest or no vest, bandage and/or AI-2;

2. Second level after surviving first raid. Better weapon like shotguns or better pistol, Saiga 9. Scav vest, AI-2, worst backpack;

3. Better weapon: baby AK with 10-rounds mags, VPO-136, Saiga. PACA, painkillers, AI-2, backpack;

.....

x-1. ADAR 2-15 with 10-rounds mags, tier 2 helmet, tier 3 armor. Car medkit, painkillers;

x. VAL/VSS with 3x 10-rounds mags, tier 2 helmet, tier 3 armor. IFAK, painkillers;

.....

n-2. Scav Boss guard;

n-1. Mustache, machete, Vaseline, Morphine and Stim booster;

n. Crowbar, yellow chemical suit and PhD in Physics;

n+1. Scav Raider (if they will be playable) OR "elite" version of scav mission in labs, that was mentioned in last Nikita podcast;

n+2. Scav Boss;

n+3. Starting from the level 1.

2nd variant

The main point of this version is to add RNG to each level, that could help to avoid possible exploits.

1. 100% chance to get 1st level scav from 1st variant;

2. 30% chance to get 1st level scav and 70% to get 2nd level scav from 1st variant;

3. 10% chance to get 1st level scav, 20% chance to get 2nd level scav, 70% to get 3rd level scav;

.....

n. Last level. 90% chance to get level 1 scav, 10% chance to get Scav Boss.

n+1. Starting from level 1.
