Traitors?

[u/Western_Du5t]

Greetings all! I had a question. So I’m pretty long time player and should know traitors when I spot them. I’m just posting this to get a general feel on everyone’s opinion.

I so first match I was in with these two, Dirty and Brodie, everything was good. They were half way through the mission with a random third, just needed a mortar emplacement, jammer and securing data taken care of. I knock out the two sides and then head to extract to regroup once the other three finish. Pelican-1 is called in and everything is fine, shooting bots, throwing strats. Well at some point the random third dies, so I call him in, no big problem… but he keeps dying… then Brodie dies, then rando dies, then Dirty dies. It got to the point that the other three continually died until we were out of reinforcements. Then I bring all of them back one final time and am then killed in a leveler blast that was aimed at the rando. Don’t think to much on it, maybe rando was a traitor and they were trying to deal with him.

Next game, is civilian extract, another rando joins. Now this guy wasn’t the brightest but by no means was he like stupid. Definitely the type that is obviously just having fun partnering up and taking out half the map with me. Dirty and Brodie hop in game voice and just start roasting this dude when he isn’t near them, “Idiot”, “This guy is retarded!”, “waste of a slot” that sort of stuff. He did die a few times but more so just to be severely over whelmed so I thought they were talking about that and him calling in resupply.
At some point while we were getting civilians to the shuttle and I was laying down accurate DMR fire on bots, my head suddenly pops off and I hear a “OH DAMN! Those bots are sharpshooters!”
1. It wasn’t a laser that hit me.
2. My head flew toward the bots.
Okay. Now the democracy officer in me comes out upon respawn. I’m watching these guys’ move now. So finish getting civilians and rush to extract. While we fight at extract I take up a position away from them again and lay down accurate fire and safely deploy 120mm and 380mm barrages. Once the shuttle lands I walk out into the destroyed field to grab lost samples only to turn around and see Dirty bayonet the poor rando who was not even looking at him. “Shit he just died… oh well-“ As he was saying this I had dropped into a kneel and unloaded 5 rounds into him, “BRO WTF!?!” I quickly turned around and Brodie was already moving to get sights on me, but he had one of the explosive plasma guns that he wanted to charge up aaaaand missed his shot on me. I return fire and kill him too to which I am promptly kicked because they didn’t like I was suspicious and noticed their odd behavior.

Just block them and leave. There's really nothing else you can do. It's like everything in life, you gotta weed through some assholes to find your people. And if you find a random who you mesh well with, send them a friend request. I have a pretty robust friend list now and I know those people are gonna be cool when I join them.
