So it is just as issue of time? After a couple of minutes this encounter will always go hostile?
If you keep your weapon away when they shout at you, they will never go hostile. If you don't ever put your weapon away after spawning on the map, they will go hostile after a few seconds, unless they are busy fighting someone else.After you put your weapon away, you got it back out to kill the brahmin, and this caused them to attack you.
OK.... Now Hub Police are shooting me in encounters when I'm obviously unarmed. Has this thing just screwed my rep with them permanently?
