Post #1If someone can tell me why people just KOS new spawns what is the point all they want to do is play the game at least be brave and give them a chance and fight the with the weapons they have please say if you agree or disagree this is annoying.

Target practice.
-
Plenty of people run around naked with a gun hidden. Others do it just to claim territory. Most do it to gain an ego boost.
The movie Dodgeball taught me a lot - dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge
-
Your line of thinking as a new spawn is "I have nothing so why would someone kill me." Someone who comes across you may be thinking "He's not wearing anything but may be packing a shotgun or supplies." Until you can see someones weapons on their backs, it's difficult to approach geared and know your safe if someone is naked, much less there is no way to know what's in their inventory.
-
I have been attacked by so many new spawns, and a few times they have killed me, and take my gun. Thats why i kos new spawns.
-
thx
-
New spawns usually have a lot of simple gathering items, and sometimes weapons. Thats why I take them out.
-
When I see a new spawn, it's not just a naked person running around, it's a potential threat to my safety.
Maybe not right now, maybe not in an hour, but eventually, they'll become a threat. If I'm near my base I'll kill them and force them to respawn somewhere else on the map then I don't have to worry about them for a while.
Plus whatever handful of resources they happen to be carrying is a nice bonus... But I don't just kill nakeds for sport.
-
Rust = KOS
-
I reject that notion. That's like saying Facepunch Forum = trolltrolltroll
-
Killing "new spawns" is the fastest way to get resources, thats why.
-
There are several reasons:
They might have a pipe shotgun hidden in their inventory and if they ask for help and if you accept to help them,probably will get shot !
Ego boosting,being "alpha male",being bandit.Another way to show "I got the power !"
Also it's a survival game so they are killing new spawns before they lay their eggs :p So new ones will not have any chance to beat the current players.
-
I kill them for revenge after what they done to me.
They said "their friendly" but as i trusted them BAM! betrayal
Not only i gained trust issues,i kill them for a purpose.
-
Lol this has happened to me, too... My first server I was WAYYYY too friendly. My house was plainly visible, I would say in chat where my house was and consistently invited people over. I had a campfire on a chest out front and I would light it at night and sometimes put goodies that I didn't need into the chest for people to take....
It was a small server so it wasn't a problem for a couple days. Oh how wrong I was....
A naked asked me for some food so of course I was like "yea sure! come on in!" and then he bashed me in the head with a rock... luckily he wasn't able to kill me, but that was the wake-up call I needed.
-
KOS because thats the game, make people rage, troll them and pass the time.
-
I don't KOS nakeds but I do chase them shooting the ground around them and telling them "YOU'EN GOT A PURDY MOUF, BOY!" Over VOIP. Its a lot more entertaining
-
Many reasons. I CONSTANTLY will have an inventory filled with gear and have rad suit or some leather armor or soemthing, but have to run through a high risk area, so I take off my armor and store it in my inventory, ready a gun, and run through- killing anyone who sees me. It prevents them from convincing them I am a low risk resource bag and allows me to run around and throw the armor on.
That being said, I also kill them using the logic that they are smart as well and do the same, that or could have something. If it's obvious you're new, such as running from an animal bashing them in with a rock, then I'm leaving you alone. But if you're being careful and trying to avoid danger, I know you have something of worth on you, that you wouldn't want loosing from death, so then I automatically know you have something. And guess what, most of the time, the guy who hides in the bush, waits for a group to pass, pokes out, looks around, goes back in, waits, jumps out, sprints for the resources, gathers them by circling it to make being shot a chore, and sprints back into the bushes ALWAYS has hidden armor or guns. Rarely is it a guy just being really careful because he just started.
-
How many times have you not killed new spawns and a swarm of them run up on you and collectivly bash your skull in with rocks? That is why you kill them.
-
I usually kill nakeds if they are near my favorite resource gathering location or if I see them in rad towns because they could have anything on them. If people say they are friendly, I just stay a distance and say good day to them.
-
People kill on sight because everyone trusts no one.
I personally don't attack on sight.
-
to avoid getting killed crouch sprint if you have a mouse with button on side its very easy just set it to crouch and tap it just before u think you are going hear the crouch sound.
Makes it near impossible for someone to hit you.
Check with a admin on your server to make sure its allowed as some admins say its cheating/exploiting game mechanics.
you can also use macro to do it just use toggle crouch 100/ms
works perfect
-
there is no better thing to do in the game............. once you established....
-
Paying it forward.
-
Collecting rocks!
-
Rooock collection!
-
If I'm on an official server, I kill them on site, because 85% of them are just going to hit you with their rock anyways.
On hosted servers though, I always have the gun aimed at them, but I only shoot if they draw a weapon.
-
It's not the player's fault if there's no visual indication as to whether a freshspawn has a shotgun in his arse.
If they're collecting resource, or running away from me I leave them alone.
-
The answer to this question is presented in The Rusted Development comic Ep. 2.
Ever had a naked walk up to you and ask for chicken? You're a nice players so you agree to give them some chicken. While you have your inventory out, the naked removes the gun from their ... Somewhere and puts a hole in your chest. I trust a man with a gun I can see that he isn't shooting me with, more than a naked.
-
I've killed countless "new spawns" carrying guns.
Can't trust them.
-
because they are ASSHATS on our server we have introduced a 2 hour protection mode for fresh spawns so they can gather and setup a base and maybe get some gear. However the moment they attack another players base or another player that protection is removed
-
I don't kill new spawns, they always shit bricks when they see me in kevlar. I tell them I'm friendly and they then carry on and thank me. I do understand they might have weapons...but why kill them? Let them farm up and build a base, kill/raid them once they're established. Don't make them quit at the start :P Gotta think long term ;) It's only fair :P
-
exactly and if you have your wits about you instead of shitting a brick at every freshspawn might have a gun keep your eyes on them and if they try to kill you take them out
-
Indeed ^^ One needs to try keep the community around, right? :P
-
i only kill new spawns/nakeds that look shady or have a weapon out other wise i leve them alone unless the provoke me with a hit to the cranium!!
-
I do it because I don't want them in my territory and I don't want them to evolve and threaten my monopoly. Pretty simple.
-
shoot first and you have much better chance to live longer. They have nothing to lose and if near your base, they scout possible entrances/weak spots before trying to raid.
-
adding a weapon holster so you can see what guns people are carrying will possibly reduce this. right now you cant risk not killing someone naked as he might have a shotty etc.
-
Ahaha, nice story.
I learned that very lesson my second day playing rust. I was in my 1x1 at night when I hear a guy outside my house. He keeps asking me for food, and he was naked so I didn't think anything of it. I open my door and he whips out a revolver and head shots me, leaving my door open. I lost everything in that house, and have KOS'd since.
+ Head shot target practice is always needed.
-
Territory control and the threat they have a pipe shot gun/shot gun on them. Until the models come out that show when you have a weapon on you this will always be an issue. Even then people will still KOS due to some of the other reasons listed above.
-
This thread went on a bit longer than I expected.
I have a rule. Wear some trousers. It's the least you can do, even in these troubled post-apocalyptic times. It tends to be my main priority when joining a server. A general rule can then be enforced regarding KOS and new spawns who refuse to secure and wear some kind of leg and groin coverage. If you want to run free, that's fine. Just don't complain when someone shoots you for looking and acting like you haven't got a clue what you're doing. The more someone has to deal with you as a person, and less as a computer sprite or perceived enemy, the less likely they are going to want to kill you.
Also, being killed as a new spawn, what are you actually losing except a little pride? Offset by the guy who just wasted his time/ammo AND gave away his position to other possibly more experienced players.
And there's another question here, which is "Would that guy have tried to kill me anyway, even if I was already established?" And the unfortunate answer in most cases would be yes. Whether or not you could defend yourself is another question, but once again that's about your pride and nothing to do with the game dynamic overall.
OP should change original title to "Why do people KOS?", then we'd have an interesting discussion.
