Accidentally hitting a friendly NPC

[Oracle Zed]

If you hit a friendly NPC in the hub are they gone forever?

[Sl3dge]

Not if you hit, but if you kill yeah. Should take about 3-4 hits to kill an NPC.

[Clown Reemus]

If hit not for 200 damage, no. If you keep hitting them, just like in Dark Souls, yes.

I hit the guy who wants medicine once and now he's gone. :C
Went to the room where you find him the first time but he wasn't there.

i accidentally killed a "character" in R&D that you're supposed to find for a quest. looked just like an enemy... turned a corner, attacked and BAM dead. thanks game. quest failed.

He is supposed to go to Med bay after the first encounter

He's also disappeared just after I got him his medicine.

The strange thing is, I've hit one of them accidentally numerous times but they remained the same, just complained about being hit and struck numerous times.

The very same way they react in Dark Souls. If hit much they will get provoked and start fighting back until the death of either. No idea how this works in Surge since I have not seen anyone hitting NPC hard.
I also believe giving him a medicine is a bad idea, just like everyone else besides him suggests.

The lady that wants a staff also vanishes after completing her quest. Dunno if she returns at a later point.

where is this dudes medicine he looks like he's deteriorating mentally

Accidentally killed a robot npc, in 3 hits... Didn`t expect it complaining about being hit, so... it was to late to stop. Any chance to revive it? Fix it? Find it elsewhere? Maybe restore the savegame for a minute earlier?

[NillBewton]

I accidentally hit the lady with the staff the second time you see her (Really, game devs? You're going to put an NPC 2 feet from a friggin patrolling enemy???!!)
I kept running away but she appeared to be permanently hostile. I let her kill me then when I went back she was gone.
I REALLY hope that she didn't die or that it's permanent, or I'll be extremely upset.

There's always NG+ for trigger happy, friendly fire players.

Apparently you don't even have to hit them. I was low on health and running to ops and a random NPC was just out and about... Some enemies that were following me attacked her and when I died and came back she was hostile to me... that is just stupid. Good job game devs not teaching your AI the difference between a player attacking an NPC and a random enemy.

If you mean after giving him his medicine. He didn't dissapear.. If you look around while playing you will find his corpse
