Scav Boss of Reserve
Glukhar
Six guards, military discipline, and no safe way in
Glukhar rules Reserve with the largest permanent entourage of any boss, a mix of assault, security, and scout guards who move like an actual fire team. Where other boss fights are duels, a Glukhar fight is a battle against a coordinated squad.
His group patrols large sections of the base, including the barracks and buildings around the train station, which means you often cannot simply avoid him on Reserve. Many players learn he is in the raid by losing a teammate to a guard they never saw.
The payoff matches the risk. Between the boss and six guards, a cleared Glukhar fight is one of the biggest single loot hauls in the game.
Where Glukhar Spawns

Behavior
- Escorted by around six guards in specialized assault, security, and scout roles
- The squad moves and fights with coordination, covering multiple angles

How to Win the Fight
- Never engage the whole squad at once. Pull guards with noise and fight them in pieces
