The art of acquiring items in an online multiplayer video game whilst avoiding all manner of conflict with other players.
This tactic, despite usually being frowned upon due to players seeing it as a cowardly playstyle, is extraordinarily effective at accruing wealth in a looter-shooter such as Escape From Tarkov or making it to endgame circles in Battle Royales such as Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone.
Typically synonymous with being called a rat, as the player tends to scurry along unnoticed and flee rapidly when found.

Ninja looting or power-up stealing in an online game, usually at the dispair of the enemy or disregard to teamplay by taking health or armor from a flag carrier or injured teammate... then running off, hiding or immediately getting killed, thereby wasting the power-ups or leaving the other victim high and dry to get killed themselves. Usually happens in pickup games or MMOs
In Unreal Tournament pick-up games, someone almost always pulls a loot and scoot with the shield seconds before the flag carrier comes by... then we lose the game beacuse the FC dies at the last second.
In World of Warcraft, rogues often perform the loot and scoot while you finally engage the monster standing next to a chest.
Taking ALL the ammo at the start of a fps round does constitute as a loot and scoot, leaving everyone else without ammo until it respawns; thus crippling the entire team.

Guy 1: Did you hook up with that one girl last night?
Guy 2: Emily? Yeah I took her home.
Guy 1: You going to see her again?
Guy 2: Nah, it was a loot and scoot.

Talking to someone for an extended period of time, usually ending after you walk out, mostly after you've accomplished your tasks.
"Bro, you see that chick over there?"
"Yeah.."
"Ima slide"
"She's real clingy, you might just wanna loot n' scoot"
"Yeah.."
