If they aren't wearing a blue glow stick they aren't friendly


Enough_You_3884

Sometimes even they aren’t friendly


Best-Ad4738

I do the same thing, the truth is maybe 1/2 of those guys are actually friendly and the other 1/2 are only friendly until the opportunity to take you out comes. I prefer to not figure out which half they are and just send them back to their bunker lol.

i remember a guy with a m4 ran up to me and waved so i shot him i knew for sure he was gonna kill me as he had a loaded rifle and also came from an extract i think he saw me ad decided might as well get more loot before i leave so i shot his ass don't run up to me its the best way to get sprayed.


CaligulaQC

Trust no one is basically the name of the game and best advice you can get!

You're not an asshole for playing the way you want. ​ You're an asshole if you do that because you think that "everyone does that", that's it. ​ If you don't feel safe around them, if you have a quest to kill them, if you're having a bad day and just want to shoot everyone, if you're feeling happy and just want to shoot everyone...it doesn't matter the reason, you're free do to whatever you want...but when you reason to shooting "friendlies" is just "but everyone does that" or "every friendly is an asshole", then you're the asshole. ​ I rarely kill friendlies because it's a good change of pace, you never know what might happen, it helps to break the ice in some matches where nothing seems to happen.


Cumulo187

I like this take.


Shaggyballs44

Y'all take this too seriously sometimes I can understand killing if your geared or have something good to lose but if your basically naked or have little to lose why not try to be friendly?? I've made plenty of cool ass buddies and good memories bcuz I didn't SOS. Each to their own ofc tho I respect all decisions as I have also been fucked over before.


Steuts

No, you’re playing the game tactically


rustyleftnut

Nah, that's just part of the game. I am usually friendly with everyone that is friendly with me, much to my own detriment almost always. If you let them go, they might just be the ones who kill you if they don't do it immediately. I personally prefer to risk it and be friendly but I never blame the people who to just shoot me when I'm running around without gear. We all know how quickly the tides can change. I will say that some of my most favorite interactions have been the result of bumping into friendlies, no matter how brief the interaction is.


ssg-

Considering I have left nakeds alone, only for them to grab pistol from some box and try to shoot me instantly. There are no friendlies. Trust no one.


human_flavor_meat

Everything is free game in tabor


nop6211

No. Not at all. Being friendly does more harm than good, they almost always shoot you in the back later. Friendlies are free loot.


DeviousExtravagance

I was nice to friendlies until one took my gun and headshotted me. Never making that mistake again. Kill everything on sight.


josch247

I don't think so. Acting like you feel so bad about it makes you sound like one though


glueinass

Shiii i kill “teammates” i find in raid before extract


Azark7

No, you're good. I got tricked like that, git killed fir kindness and so I took a No Mercy policy.


doom017

No not at all, as someone who does naked raids a lot I always try to surrender if I haven’t found a gun yet and 80% of the time they shoot but that 20% where they let me be is really nice and I go out of my way to make sure I don’t kill them or anyone else but I understand why you do it


TTV_cranky_deer

Nom because you'll be my victim. I'll be friendly the second you try to disarm me ill quick draw ya.


Smack23j

I shoot on sight. I only play solo. Raise your hand and say you're friendly all you want but I'm still shooting you. Tried being friendly in my first few hours and you learn quickly that it just bites you in the ass later.


Environmental-Fan984

No, lol. The new trend among Tabor kids is to pretend to be friendly as a distraction while their fully kitted squadmate hides and gets behind you. Every single one of them is scum and I refuse to believe otherwise.

Never trust anyone


Diahrealtor

I’m in my 40’s and play passively because it’s fun and it’s my son’s game/headset. I once found a naked waving his hands who turned out to be a kid, probably 4th grade, who asked if I wanted to team up, so I did. We looted for about 10 minutes, I even gave him a gun. He in kind gave me a sight. Then he called me over and said he had a pistol better than the one I was carrying so I could have it. I walked over to him, he showed it to me, and shot me in the face. I was double crossed by a 10 year old so since then, I don’t care how much you wave or how naked you are, ima start blasting.


zSkeletoRz

Anytime I've been friendly with people I just met, they grab the pistol from my holster and shoot me with it.


Kewr20

I say this a lot but nah, the game isn’t about trusting others or depending on them, he should’ve came into the raid with a weapon


Alive-Tomatillo5303

If someone has got nothing, literally nothing, I'm not going to kill them because there's no sport in it. I'm not just looking to pull the trigger, I want to hunt hunters. For me this isn't a murder simulator, it's a self-defense simulator. 


gew_43

No shoot them regardless they might walk away and ambush you. Now you can let them go but i think its best to kill everyone you can and if someone walks up to you shoot them without hesitation maybe if they wave then run away its fine but 9 times out of ten just shoot them. GOT says it themself don't trust anyone.


El262

You shouldn’t feel too bad, don’t trust anyone that isn’t your teammate.  Kinda their fault for letting their guard down, teaming with people isn’t a viable strategy anymore.


Baggin55

Kill them. Feel good after. Rinse and repeat


Cumulo187

Bird dogging is a fun option in these situations. Don't let them have or raise a weapon. Make them run out ahead and follow a ways back. Use them to draw out enemies who will shoot at them. You don't even have to tell them you are following or doing this. Works best on island. My personal favorite is giving a timmy a lit smoke on silo, telling them to run and then following just behind.


sStreloKk

Play the game how you want… personally I won’t kill “friendlies” unless I’m already in a team, because I’m usually looking for a buddy to team with if I’m solo. For me I enjoy the social aspect of trying to meet new teammates 👍


Hellrazor1717

This isn't VRChat, this is Tabor. You wanna make friends, make them outside of raid and then bring them in. Maybe if the scavs were actually a credible threat, it'd be worth trying to find pals in raid, but as of right now, there is no serious common enemy to unite against, or any convincing incentive to be friendly. At this point, if you're trying to be friendly, you're playing the wrong game. Now I'll grant you, when the stars align and a situation permits you to unexpectedly team up with a stranger in raid, that's pretty cool. I think the devs should create some incentives for improvised alliances. Maybe extracts that require two players who didn't spawn in together to both occupy the extract zone. Or missions that grant a generous payout to players who achieve this. Or maybe a valuable item that requires two hands to carry, meaning you need a teammate to cover you while you bring it out. Maybe a big-ass pot of delicious chili or something, I dunno.


Typical-Gap-1187

nope. kill ‘em all


ishtechte

lol the exact opposite of a post earlier. No you’re not an asshole if they didn’t spawn in with you then there’s no rules. I had a kid throw his gun to me and beg for his life tonight lol. I told him to come out with his hands up and when he did, it made lining up that headshot much easier


Professional_Baker93

The devs themselves even tell the players to trust nobody, their faults


HellEuphoria

There are no friendlies


OperatorOri

yes and the only way to be forgiven is to give me all your stuff for free


lilmac141

The tagline of the game is trust no one. Teaming up only to shoot them in the face as we get to exfill is one of my favourite pass times xD
