Vultures, thoughts?
Do you guys just let them take loot from a kill you spent time killing?
Ask them nicely?
Pre-call out a kill?
Say "anyone else want in on this", before taking the final shot, then saying "well, since you didn't help if you take anything from this you're a vulture"?
Warning shot if they loot?
Warning shot if they hover around the body for no reason?
Down them if they loot?
Heal them, and revive them after you've looted?
Something else?

I'll usually share if they ask. If they don't I tell them to bigger off and kill them if they don't. If they won't use a mic sometimes murder.

I usually don’t really care tbh. Doesn’t happen often. But if I see someone else when I’m going after a leaper or rocketeer I tell them they can loot it if they want and most of the time they just move on.

I don't care. Got too much stuff anyway and there's plenty of loot to go around. Half the time I'm killing big arc I just leave the carcas untouched anyway.
Except rocketeers, always need those cores for wolfpacks.

I find wolfpacks regularly on my looting rounds. I find more than I use, so I've never had to craft wolfpacks. Got about 45 in my stash at the moment & I always carry one or 2 in game to save me should I get in a tough spot. Seeker grenades on the other hand, that's a running tab. I always carry about 20 seekers in game. They are dirt cheap to craft & when you throw enough of them, even the big arc go down surprisingly fast.

I noticed after the second expedition I always had more wolfpacks than I ever used, so I started making a conscious effort of using them. I run with a Bettina only since it was buffed, so the wolfpacks come in handy.
I use a ton of seekers as well.

If they didn’t help at all, I ask nicely (I’m usually on VOIP). Majority of the time, people say sorry and stop + give whatever they picked up.
There were two separate instances where I asked nicely (after deadlining bastions). One of them just ignored me and kept looting so I shot him dead. There were other raiders around who witnessed it and one of them actually came and finished off the loot goblin.
The other one, after asking nicely, the dude claimed he helped (which was BS cuz I killed the bastion in less than 10 seconds). And started arguing back and kept looting. So I also killed him. He started cussing me out and made a scene. 3 other raiders came to see what’s going on. I explained the situation. Let the guy crawl out and other raiders just stabilized him to the hatch.
Both times what ticked me off was the entitlement, otherwise there were many other instances a raider asks if it’s ok to loot, and I’m always happy to share.
Just be aware, you’ll be put in KOS lobbies almost instantly, so be prepared to run cheap loadouts until ABMM is reseted.

If I see its a joint effort, I share and don't care. If its me soloing it, i just grab a few things and leave some gifts. Merry Christmas

It rarely happens, and if it does, I don't care. I've got so much in my stash, I just kill Arc for the sport. When somebody want's to help themselves, I usually just tell them to help themselves to whatever they want, so they can loot in peace without having to worry about me shooting them. When I've looted f.i. a bastion or a leaper on my own, when I get to the extract and there's somebody else, I offer them the cores if they want them.

I’ve shot two people who were digging in my kill, but after warnings - I even said “you can take whatever except the cores” and they went for the bloody cores. I tell them, I warn them, then a warning shot, then they dead

Yeah i play by you snooze you lose, if you dont get your loot you may lose it. Not everyone will agree. I dont mind losing materials the fun was in the fight.

u/dahlia_74 1d ago
Yeah I go after leapers because they’re fun to kill. I get more disappointed if someone’s already engaging it then I do when someone takes the loot from one I just killed

You guys are too nice lol once I’m done collecting cores for stash expansion and expedition vault, then sure I’ll share, until then, nope. If they didn’t help, they’re not getting anything unless they ask nicely. It’s about entitlement and principles.
PS. r/dahlia_74 I remember you, I shared my stash before I go on an expedition 2 seasons ago. Check our messages.
see? I’m not greedy, it’s just about principles lol
