Scav Boss of Interchange
Killa
A one-man army in a face shield who does not stop pushing
Killa is the most straightforward boss in Tarkov and also one of the most lethal. He has no guards, no tricks, and no interest in hiding. He finds you, he pushes you, and he keeps pushing until one of you is dead.
You will usually meet him in and around the center of the Interchange mall, kitted in his iconic heavy armor and helmet with face shield. His movement is fast and erratic, he strafes constantly while shooting, and he closes distance with a confidence no other AI in the game shows.
Killing Killa is a rite of passage, and his helmet and armor are both wearable trophies that sell well if you would rather have the roubles.
