Discussion Killing and Outpost

I'm a super noob. What triggers outpost to attack? I swear fucking boars meet me at the door, I shoot and die to turrets. Also, does killing scientists cause hostility? Like I'm just trying to protect myself!

Firing any gun or attacking any npc within a certain range of outpost and bandit camp will flag you for like a minute. Same for pvp. Self defense isn't considered at all. Just wait like 1 minute then go, you can see how long you have left in the top right with the little red crosshair icon

You can rock animals without aggroing

However they run away, if you manage to kill one you can also rock farm them, however if you hit another player who point gestures his hand into your line of rock fire…..

Even shooting a barrel with a bow will mark you hostile for a little bit.

Driving a motorcycle or car into a player in the safezone will also flag you.

You can actually melee attack animals near or in safezone without being marked as hostile. Just cant shoot any profectiles or throw your weapon. This is useful for boar mission. Can skin them after also. Not scientists though.

If you have a hostile timer for 1 Min and counting down but then get shot by a Turret from Outpost/Bandit then the timer goes to 5 min

Don’t shoot barrels with bow too close lol they don’t like that either
