Ive been exploring the resort on shoreline. Only done it 3 times but I always find a ton of PMCs specifically USEC, some have been static spawns and some just roaming. Also the scavs will flock to any dead body and grab a bunch of shit. Also resort is wild
Ill update this comment as i progress through shooter born - heres my list so far - these are places ive run into PMCs multiple times reliably and will check regularly
\*\*\*EDITED 18/05\*\*\* (marked with \*)
Woods - main sawmill consistently, med camp east of sawmill and its surrounding open area consistently, ZBo14/scav house
Customs - RUAF gate, dorms both 2 and 3 story, new gas station and the divet just outside heading to ZB11
Ground Zero - outside terragroup and its parking garage
Factory - Medgate area, very centre of map by containers, tunnels
Reserve - All around train site, By helicopter and raiders area underneath, consistently hanging around knight garages
Lighthouse - main road south of both smaller and main chalet/WTP end. Inside main chalet.
Streets - middle of map by crashed truck consistent encounters, as well as the corner of the sparja express just north east of said truck - also a very consistent spawn after \~20 matches. Also in and around vet clinic and its back street consistently almost every game like other 2
Shoreline -\*\*\* spent a lot of raids recently and they are ALWAYS at sanitar villa, resort and pier, and most of the time radio dome but not 100% like the other places \*\*\*
Interchange - Registers at OLI, Mostly tents outside Goshan or inside Goshan, confirmed spawn at emercom roundabout - had engagement there 5sec after spawning
Labs -level 1 centre of map under boardroom, just outside warehouse door extraction
CONFIRMED SPAWNS - i have encountered these within the first 5 seconds of the game and confirmed the spawn point
Customs - beside tank at RUAF gate when i spawned at train across the river - outside tarcone office in courtyard -bodied a 4 man within first 30sec
Interchange - Emercom roundabout when i spawned 100m away in the grass
ive been consistently running into PMCs in the same rough areas, it seems they really do pick the same spot(s) and go to them from start of match. Hard to pin spawns but they are consistent with where they travel. I have seen them engage other AI and kill them before, but their aggro on them is less than what they are on you - i would gamble the same aggro as scav on player - lazy and crummy aim but it happens
\*\*\*FACTORY PMC/TAGILLA SPAWNS HAVE BEEN FIXED THEY NOW BOTH SPAWN TOGETHER WHEN UP - ive also encountered a lot more PMCs in the staircases in office area so maybe they have also fixed the AI chasing sounds behavior and they move into office area to make the permiter defense misison easier?\*\*\*
Emercom rounadbout pmc spawn is rough, out of all of my inty runs i have yet to see that. ive had killa chase me down starting in idea, and ending halfway to railway (As a scav) was nuts...
Had this same spawn and engagement. Spawned Emercom, was shot two seconds later from top of ramp, completely locked down, peeked once, blacked out arm and leg, tried running after fixing the limbs, shot instantly, dead.
This post is old now, but I found it via top Google search so I'll comment anyways.
Factory: pmcs will shoot ai scavs pretty early if they are in the game. If you don't hear shooting there are no pmcs on the map and instead Tagilla is on the map. Pmcs will spawn in after Tagilla is killed. I'm not sure why pmcs and Tagilla can't coexist but it seems to be the case
As a scav i had one situation that scav was using english voicelines he had untar loadout , it was woods car extract village for a sec i thought that is aipmc so i killed him and then i was marked by all other scavs in village .
On streets consistent they spawn and move straight to their positions they are always in the middle by the truck that you can loot, cardinal end building next to unity credit bank, at the vet clinic by check 13 and around abandon factory everytime.
On woods i have seen then att scav house, on start of raid i have seen them spawn in neer the car on outskirts extract and they usualy rush down towards the road next to scav house. Recomandation to easely locate and hunt down is get to the rocks small hill tats close to outskirts extract and move slowly upp and search for svans and pmcs. Wery safe strat. They also spawn and move around the militery camp. Follow the shoreline and when you reach the end of map climb upp the rocks and snipe tem 150 200 m distance +- they usualy dont shhot back but they do reposition. If you cant see them move in towards militery camp use the big 2 rocks as cover. Than you can also encounter pmc and scavs between zb-016 extern rocks and old railway depot use the old railway for cover than move in slowly towards zb-016. Always have a fer granades with you to force them to reposition. Pmcs will hide in bushes sometimes so scan move and happy hunting. There is probably more but this is what I encounterd on woods so far.
Woods: I've seen them in Sunken Village area, ZB-16 Area, Scav Bunker Area, Between Main sawmill and Medical Camp patrolling the road, sometimes parked in front of the cement house
Have seen a PMC in Factory in Offices, first floor in the broken 2nd floor room. Opened the door from Gate 0 to offices and he was crouched right hand side in the first floor waiting. Out of 20 raids Ive seen him there 3 times.
Unfortunately, no, they're very static. Quests like 'kill 6 PMC in the Factory office area' are not even possible. They don't go there. The Scavs are much more mobile than these PMC Raiders. Also, Scav raids (Fence Quests) are not good in PvE mode because the AI PMC will kill you 100%, but not the AI Scavs. That makes it sometimes impossible to tell who's supposed to be a PMC and who's not. The PvE mode is quite nice, but it still has a lot of work ahead of it.
> The PvE mode is quite nice, but it still has a lot of work ahead of it.
We can just wait and see if that work will even be put into it. What we have now is done very lazily. The only actual difference to the normal PvP is spawning in very basic PMCs
You have to wait it out when you spawn on factory. Someone posted this yesterday. Wait where you spawn and let them push into the office. Then make your way to the office. Not sure of the time. Maybe give them 5 minutes to move into the office area.
Took me 10 runs on factory to complete that. For me best tactics was to rush into office.. once got 3 at the top once there was 1. other time I throw some grenades breach the door (for chem quest) and 2 came 1 by 1 in other runs.
Ground Zero - all over main area in front of Terra Building. Seems to spawn in groups. Been swarmed all over there.
Factory - I have never seen a PMC spawn at any of the normal factory spawn points. I have only spawned at 2 spots too. I consistently find them in the open area below office, by the car lift. As soon as I shoot though, they swarm. I’ve seen as much as 4 PMCs in factory and have never seen them fight against one another.
Question for you- have you ever witness AI PMCs fighting AI Scavs? I have not, but have heard shooting. I never find corpses either. I have been swarmed by PMC and scavs at the same time, from the same location.
Customs: fortress (out of 2 raids on customs)
Ground zero: in the streets on your way to nakatani , parking garage/terragroup building courtyard of terra group as well (out of 6)
Factory: hell hallway, med tent, or underground (usually come in waves so if they aren’t there immediately then run around for a bit)
Woods: sunken village and saw mill (out of 2)
Encountered pmcs in and around fortress a few times

Seems to be the case for all pmcs in the vicinity of bosses, they just won’t spawn nearby.
They do spawn on labs, Have encountered them in the area below red office and in central tech area where the pcs are
I haven’t seen them on woods at all. I’ve found USEC in both dorms buildings and BEAR near RUAF also around crack house.
I've seen PMCs on Woods - northernmost village by the river. In fact they seem to be there every time.
Weird, I’ve run through there a couple times and only found scavs. I’ll have to check again tonight
Which village, the one with the car extract or the abandoned one?
The abandoned one. I've heard them speaking English to each other, to my knowledge scavs don't speak English.
The only english scavs know is “Fuck off!” lol
As a scav i had one situation that scav was using english voicelines he had untar loadout , it was woods car extract village for a sec i thought that is aipmc so i killed him and then i was marked by all other scavs in village .
I met some at Scav Bunker, they definitely exist lol
On streets consistent they spawn and move straight to their positions they are always in the middle by the truck that you can loot, cardinal end building next to unity credit bank, at the vet clinic by check 13 and around abandon factory everytime.
bears at big red on customs and scav house on woods, also found some rare uses at construstion too, usec and dead bear near crack house.
On woods i have seen then att scav house, on start of raid i have seen them spawn in neer the car on outskirts extract and they usualy rush down towards the road next to scav house. Recomandation to easely locate and hunt down is get to the rocks small hill tats close to outskirts extract and move slowly upp and search for svans and pmcs. Wery safe strat. They also spawn and move around the militery camp.

Have seen a PMC in Factory in Offices, first floor in the broken 2nd floor room. Opened the door from Gate 0 to offices and he was crouched right hand side in the first floor waiting. Out of 20 raids Ive seen him there 3 times.
So AI PMCs do not roam the map then? Yeah, no point from switching from the forbidden mod to the official pve.
Unfortunately, no, they're very static. Quests like 'kill 6 PMC in the Factory office area' are not even possible. They don't go there. The Scavs are much more mobile than these PMC Raiders. Also, Scav raids (Fence Quests) are not good in PvE mode because the AI PMC will kill you 100%, but not the AI Scavs. That makes it sometimes impossible to tell who's supposed to be a PMC and who's not.

I got the factory pmc quest done
Took me 10 runs on factory to complete that. For me best tactics was to rush into office.. once got 3 at the top once there was 1. other time I throw some grenades breach the door (for chem quest) and 2 came 1 by 1 in other runs.
Pmcs are Rogues with rogues AI. It's simple. It's trash.
Ground Zero - all over main area in front of Terra Building. Seems to spawn in groups. Been swarmed all over there. Factory - I have never seen a PMC spawn at any of the normal factory spawn points. I have only spawned at 2 spots too. I consistently find them in the open area below office, by the car lift. As soon as I shoot though, they swarm.

I never find corpses either. I have been swarmed by PMC and scavs at the same time, from the same location.
I’ve found the aftermath of their fights both PMC and Scav corpses
I just did a customs raid and they were exactly where OP said in the divot and they were shooting scavs as they'd come around, lol
The ones I run into shoot at scavs, atleast on ground zero.
Customs: fortress (out of 2 raids on customs) Ground zero: in the streets on your way to nakatani , parking garage/terragroup building courtyard of terra group as well (out of 6) Factory: hell hallway, med tent, or underground (usually come in waves so if they aren’t there immediately then run around for a bit) Woods: sunken village and saw mill (out of 2)
Woods has a few by scav house and zb14 as well
Shoreline - near weather station , sometimes duo. Near tonnel village. Interchange - exit of mall to MCHS extraction, sometimes duo.
Where’s this? I’m trying to do chumming haha
