Remove wanted...
I got a 10 cap bounty on me for trying to open a government supplybox that landed right outside my camp when I just spawned in, I've seen them randomly around the map and taken from them before, so I didn't know it'd give me a bounty...
Didn't even steal anything, just unlocked it

So, can I pay it off somehow? I dont want people to initiate PvP with me, Im in pacifist mode for a reason :(

Wanted can only be removed by death.

Really? You can't just pay it off? That's so bad tbh...

So if I just die to some random enemy, it'll go away?

At launch of the game there was theories about logging off for weeks and it expired. They patched that i believe.

No you cant pay it off, its part of the PvP part of the game. Just stash all your junk that way you wount loose anything.

Yea, a player needs to kill you.

Do you lose it from getting killed by a random enemy or accident? Or do you have to be killed by a player?

It has to be done by a player. Store away any junk you have with you and just go to the next player you see.

I honestly find this to be really bad, like, it wasn't even on purpose, I've seen these supply drops many times and never did I get a bounty from them, if I knew it was a players drop I would've just left it alone
Now I have to drop all I've got in my camp and wait for a player to kill me over 10 caps
Just let me pay it off :(

Anyone wanna volunteer? I just want it gone asap and be done with it so I can play without having to be anxious about getting randomly attacked

I had the same feeling first time i got wanted. Got jumped over 5 caps.

I picked someones door not realizing it was a bad thing to do. So I took all their water and fast traveled to my camp, put my junk away and waited for my friend to come execute me.

I wondered about paying it off too, i wish you could.

Yea, I mean, sometimes you things without knowing it, an honest accident
Kinda think that I didn't even do anything wrong since I never took anything, technically got a bounty for helping him unlock the box, I'd get it if I stole but I never did

Either way, anyone wanna help me out now? Just kill me real quick and earn 10 caps, Im willing to drop a fusioncore or keycard or something, just want to play now but me being an anxious person, I can't as long as I have this bounty :(

I'd come kill you but im on my phone in the living room having breathing problems and can't sleep so I can't get on the computer. Still awake at 6am blows.

It´s kinda annoying, I know. I understand that you get a wanted for picking locks in actual players camps, but never heard of supply drops called by players being a hostile act.

What´s also weird is, if you lockpick a safe in a player owned workshop, you also get a wanted level for that. Pretty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but I stored all my junk and searched for the next player who kills me then, to get rid off it.

Typically it's polite to ask if the player would like you to shoot them in the face to remove the bounty before doing so. A small donation such as some whiskey or a flux is nice, too. Previously wanted went away if you stayed logged long enough, (an hour?) though that may not be the case anymore. The easiest way to remove it is to stash your junk and fast travel to a populated event.

When the game dropped anyone could open a government supply drop and gain the contents.

It was a great way to help new players. Then they changed it so if you were not the person who summoned it, but picked the lock on it you got wanted.

Now nobody who knows anything ever summons one of them because they are newbie traps. Especially because there is no warning that picking the lock will get you flagged.

I've looted several before that weren't mine and never had this happened to me, if I knew it was someone elses I'd left it alone because Im not into PvP nor greifing, in fact I usually try and help out even newer players than myself to sort of pay back for the times higher level players helped me
It just dropped right outside my camp (didnt spawn because another camp was there) and I thought I'd jsut loot it before server hopping

Now it just feels so annoying to have to literally stash all my stuff and fast travel to players in hopes they'll kill me for 10 caps just so I can keep playing the game without getting hunted down
As mentioned they could add a warning, like maybe (Player name) or something while aiming at the supply drop, or let us pay off the bounty at a station vendor or something
Idk, just feel like alot of work to remove a bounty for something I could not have known would give me a bounty
