wait so people can just straight up kill you now?

i thought you had to engage them for them to damage you?

Workshops are pvp-areas and disable your pacifist settings. Keep your pacifist on, avoid workshops and Monster Mash event and no-one can kill you.

Probably accidentally picked up a wanted tag somewhere, I did earlier, I probably ended up unlocking a box or something in a workshop while wandering around. With the legendary perk set to instantly unlock things with no mini game, it'll happen from time to time, lol.

1 - You could be wanted
2 - You could be near a workshop
3 - You could have tagged them with a shot
4 - They could be using hacked ignore pacifist type weapons (its been a couple years since I've seen someone use one)
5 - You could have died from an enemy and mistook it for the player killing you

Well, hard to say since don't know where you were exactly, but some of the workshops are pretty big and some have shacks too so it's possible you had just wandered in one of them. Just in case check your pacifist setting just to make sure it's on, I've had game disable it few times.

Killing other players has stopped being a thing in the game since 2020, when Pete Hines said FO76 players didn't like PvP: https://www.vg247.com/bethesda-was-surprised-how-few-people-wanted-to-take-part-in-pvp-in-fallout-76

There used to be several PvP modes in the game, notably Nuclear Winter, and a "survival" mode where all players were hidden on the map and could kill each other. They were all scrapped. Workshops and Monster Mash are the only PvP remnants left. I hardly see anyone play them except when they give S.C.O.R.E. points. Why bother fighting other players for resources when there are so many ways to NOT fight anyone to get resources?

That's just the worst. When the freaks will put up a locked santatron on a WS. Just throwing their weight around in your face. But if you try to take the WS they come over in their pink and blue Power Armor and oneshot you. Their gaming lifestyle is funny.

Taking someone's active WS from them is inviting PvP and considered rude at this point.

Not crouching while in a workshop is inviting PvP

I oblige people often when they do that

fo76 has a challenge for /76 player kills and a steam achievement, and well you did just rob someone's camp, "kark around and find out".

It is literally a game mechanic that people use as intended. If you don't want possible PvP, don't take a workshop, Karen.

Except a majority of folks (from what I've seen) don't wan't to PvP anymore. Those that do, are geared to the meta for it (usually) and can 1 or 2 shot most people that want to use the workshop for other things, like present/recipe/exp farming.

How often do you go and take someone's workshop and have them come back and actually have a chance of taking it back? Maybe they re-spawn and come take a few pot-shots and get melted a few more times, but they usually give up and either move on to other things or server hop to get away from you.

If I am in a workshop mood, I'll take 3-4 of them on the left side of the map. Toss out my little setup of resource producing things and a foundation of water coolers. I am not looking for PvP, I am looking to farm defense events and resources.

After re-reading it a few times, I probably should have phrased my original reply better.
-Taking someone's active workshop from them is inviting PvP. (that's not an issue, you're the aggressor, if they want to fight you for it, what happens next is on them)
-But that's not what the person I was replying to was complaining about.

Youre just proving him right in terms of your behavior and attitude.
