The player's statistics seem too good to some.

Recently, the head of Battlestate Games congratulated a player with the nickname NeverPlayScav, who managed to escape from Tarkov in PvP mode and get the best ending.

Nikita Buyanov promised this user a gift, but some Escape from Tarkov fans believe that NeverPlayScav does not deserve the award.

Members of the "Tarkov Meta Movement" community drew attention to statistics that raise suspicions:

A player with the nickname NeverPlayScav became the first to reach the best ending in PvP mode. He posted a recording of the raid on Terminal on YouTube. It would seem like a reason for congratulations, but after viewing the statistics, all enthusiasm disappears somewhere - his character has 86 K/D and 93% survival rate. He reached the best ending in 429 raids and died only 21 times.

One of the discussion participants shared an observation - he suggests that NeverPlayScav could have used a cheat radar to get more information about what is happening in the raid:

I watched how he played. He seems to have a radar. He hears stomping but doesn't check [doesn't check] when there is an ally around the corner, but always checks if there is an enemy. Stomping behind him - doesn't look back, although it's strange not to check. In some places where enemies spawn 50/50 according to the script - he runs headlong without checking. Plays well, but with radar
