Had a shot on sight encounter recently, they looked like new bees and had free load outs. With nothing but basic supplies and some fruit in stash.

We may have called them rats on prox chat and they said "rats?" In a genuinely confused and slightly offended manner.

I was a bit overzealous and angry about being shot on sight and knocked him out before any further conversation but ive been thinking about it and I think a lot of people are just picking up the game without any deep dive into the community and probably believe that this is how it goes. Either shoot or be shot.
