[HELP] Random neutral npcs becoming hostile in the Rostok

[/ / / s t r i d e r / / /]

So a bunch of Neutral NPCS became hostile towards me in the Rostok area. earlier I was traveling to the Wild Territory load zone when right outside (where a bunch of duty soldiers are guarding behind some sandbags) a Merc showed up and tried to kill me. as soon as the Merc died I got the message about a Murder being in Duty territory or something, I walked up to some Duty soldiers and they weren't hostile (I was still inside Rostok) so I continued and did the entire X-16 quest and when I go back to Rostok a bunch of random Loner Npcs become hostile. but here's the thing, not every loner npc was hostile, and neither were any duty personel.
also I can't just reload before I killed the Merc as I already overrided the save. my only save as of now is me trapped inside the 100 rads bar and unable to do anything as it automatically disables your weapons when entering the bar.
So does anyone have some way to fix this? maybe a console command or a mod or something? (I'm also playing on vanilla if that helps)

NO WEAPONS AT BAR! Seems you've broken this rule - let Duty shoot enemies.

duty for whatever reason refuses to shoot them, they act like they are going to start shooting but never do. it actually looks like they might as well start shouting "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

You have shot one of their pals, probably. You need to kill that 'bunch' now if you want them to stop.
If you kill them in the bar map and duty catches wind of it you'll have to kill all the duty too.

Did you at any point accept any of the assassination missions such as kill the stalker, or kill the sales representative, or any of those ? When you do you lose reputation with all stalkers, think of it like it's own faction.

Because the relationship between the Stalkers and Duty is fine. Their beef is with you not Duty. Thats how it works.

Stay neutral, never accept a killing mission.
All that said, even if you didn't do such mission the same scenario can still happen if you accidentally shoot a stalker.

For anyone who suddently provoked NPCs on Rostok - try my fix: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XEie-xLhtl5B1unzlg3yBXhbyUtjv6fV/view?usp=sharing
Extract in the game folder. While in-game - open the menu and press T, this should turn hostile NPCs neutral.

Same thing just happened to me. Random guy in front of loading screen to bar from garbage open fired on me now I'm supposedly a murderer. Script works okay, but Mercs still aim guns at me and eventually gun me down after a few moments. Was trying to turn in a camp elimination quest and they seem to gun me down more often after dialogue. Says I was shooting, and a PDA message pops up.

People in bar aren't mad, and like OP stated, all Duty soldier and random stalkers were fine besides a few random stalkers that opened fire. Oddest thing is it looked like a bandit with the grey hoodie as well.
Good thing is it shot me up to 1 on the ranking instantly. I'm hoping it's solved by the time I jump through another loading screen. I'll keep updating if I see any fixes or to just help out the next poor fool to make the same mistakes as me.

Edit: After some backpedaling I noticed that it was in fact a rogue Merc so I'm likely going to be hated by Mercs forever since the script is basically a temporary solution.
My new course of action is to wipe out the entire Merc group in the Bar area.
At this rate I'll do whatever I need to to return some sort of normalcy to the bar.
Solution 2 is to just deal with being open fired on while going to the bar, making sure to save frequently.

Loading screens and the like reset them to a "neutral" yet hostile state so no luck, and very sad that this bug exists.
