theirongiant Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Never had the heart to do it but I take it there is some knock on effect of mistreating your local friendly trader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derv Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 A drone spawns as soon as you kill a trader. Other than that I've not noticed any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HosteD Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 there is no other difference derv thats all that happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YarwoodUK Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 On our server at least - A drone spawns and a group of 4 AI come after you within 5ish minutes. Makes me wonder if AI are bugged on other servers if nobody else has mentioned it? Or if there isn't a 100% chance of the AI spawning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToejaM Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Yeah you have to wait for the drone to make a 1980s hacker modem sound, then it spawns the AI.. I believe its 3 AI? We did have the sound happen once and no AI spawned. They generally spawn with SMGs and you cant take their clothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioHazard050 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 The AI aren't that hard to take out or escape if you know what your doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 As stated above, AI could spawn if you kill a trader, but I don't think anything happens if you steal from them. Stealing is a good way to get some basic stuff like compass, maybe some clothing, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theirongiant Posted October 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Lol, I was at a trader and getting tracked by a dog. Shot the pesky varmint and the trader panicked and lay down on the ground, lay down next to him to do some trading and was accidentally crushed against a wall and died.

arjona00 Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 Why traders are not protected like arma 2 epoch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 There are some traders that are protected and some that aren't. I think the devs are just trying out a new gameplay mechanic by allowing some traders to be killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Posted October 12, 2014 Report Share Posted October 12, 2014 I killed a pesky dog at a trader. As the trader was in the line of fire, when he laid down I thought I'd killed him. Good to know he probably just panicked...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
