How do I stumble across other players in the wasteland?

(1/2) > >>

Shoveler:
I ask this question because someone entered the same instanced zone I was in and killed me.

I was in an urban area gathering junk, and as I picked up a piece I exploded into confetti bits. I was confused at first, but then I realized I was PKed.

As I was replicating, this was confirmed as a rocket launcher wielding person came to my corpse.

I've been thinking about how this happened.

My first guess is that the other person went into a random encounter while traveling across the tile that I was in.

How did this person find me?

What are the chances of it happening next time?

And what are some pre-cautionary measures to take when gathering resources?

your first guess is correct.

just by pure luck. he was probably passing through the tile you were in for hunting or gathering junk. but he had a bigger gun than yours.

a very high probability.

if you aren't well armed, keep your hands quick while gathering resources and leave the area immediately. don't wait for cooldown just for the sake of two more junk.

This isn't too common of an occurrence, really.  It all depends on where you hang out.  Some areas have more players than others.  If you're near southern towns, NCR in particular, you'll see this happen a lot more.  Also, towns like San Fran and Boneyard have more higher level, better geared players, because of the vendors I believe.

So is it safer to travel in the northern regions?

Travle - yes, visit town - no.
There are less thiefs north (only in VC), but if you see a player there do the Han Solo.
