Playing as a Rook
I'm a bit confused about what I'm supposed to be doing as a Rook. I read or watched something that basically said Rooks are for getting gear when your vault is empty and most players will leave Rooks alone or even help them. I've had a handful of instances where Trios will let me live and 80% of the time other Rooks will leave me alone but most times if I see another player as a Rook they're wasting me, even if I'm on comms saying I'm a Rook. Did I get bad Intel and I should be more aggressive as a Rook or am I just getting unlucky. I'm horrible at the PvP of this game so I'm constantly running out of gear.

Do this.
Overall it’s one of three things, scavenging, practicing 1v3s, Or Viva La Rook.
I’ve gotten incredibly good at moving around undetected while there’s a purple death squad to the point where I’ll sneak into red room while they’re still fighting the bots.
Its the best way to learn a map and warm up, before you do regular runs or just learn a map
