PMCs not initially hostile to Scavs

SPT Version

Project Type

Expected Result

PMCs should shoot Scavs (Assault) on sight, or at least once the Scav starts shooting at them.

Actual Result

PMCs will only turn hostile to Scavs (Assault) after they, or a member of their team, takes damage from one.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Start Raid
2. Observe a PMC until they get close to a Scav
3. The PMC will not attack the Scav until they take damage from the Scav

This hostility issue only applies to "Assault" bots. PMCs will engage other bot types on sight, such as "Marksman", when applicable.

I was able to fix this myself by adding "assault" to "additionalEnemyTypes" in the file PMC.json, for both "pmcusec" and "pmcbear".

There is another setting in that same file, "savageEnemyChance", but it does not seem to work.
