He will normally try to stay at the back of the fight and hidden from the player's view. Additionally, he never wears armor. Be careful as a player scav, as if you are at lower scav karma levels Reshala or his guards may shoot you without provocation or will shoot you if you come to close to Reshala. His guards are sometimes known to give warnings to player scavs with low karma before becoming hostile.

When idle, Reshala and his guards can often be seen in a tight group or formation with Reshala in the centre and his guards around him in all directions. Although there are times when Reshala can stray from the group which makes him vulnerable to players attacks. Once a player has aggravated Reshala and his guards, Reshala and 1-2 guards will run from the group to cover whilst the rest of the guards will stay close to their initial position and fight, although this can vary based on his location and group status.
