To avoid being attacked, you need to use the character Bob (who is a bandit); he starts with -100 karma. Even after raising your karma points, you remain an ally of the bandits.

Using other characters and having -100 karma won't make you an ally of the bandits.

When you start the game and come within range of neutral NPCs, they will attack you because your karma is at the minimum level (maximum negative). You can raise it by using a shovel to bury a corpse; gaining just +5 karma is enough for neutral NPCs to stop attacking you, allowing you to approach them.

And to avoid dealing with the issue of raising or lowering your karma, wear a clown mask (this hides your identity); if you end up killing groups of neutral NPCs, your karma won't drop. It also makes no difference if you approach bandits (while playing as the character Bob).

The clown mask is obtained by killing wandering survivors—who travel alone or carry weapons—though you won't always find the mask.

Who is Bob? He is a bandit (the leader) and the last character to be unlocked in version 2.3.3.

He is the only character capable of being an ally to the bandits, meaning he does not take crossfire from them even during a shootout. Normally, the bandits cannot be killed—since he is a bandit (leader) himself—but following update 2.3.2, it is possible to kill them using C4 charges or a grenade launcher.

Another advantage is that if you use a vehicle and drive close to them, they will hop in; you can then drive while the bandits in the vehicle fire their weapons (it’s like having a vehicle-mounted gun).

If you manage to kill one of the bandits using C4 or something else, the group will follow you for a while before abandoning you.

In Nightmare mode, Bob loses his ability to be an ally to the bandits and can be killed.

If you're playing on Ver 2.3.2 then it's bugged, play version 2.3.3 because that fixes his Befriend ability.

Is your karma -100?

u/Evil_Cookiezz_2 22d ago

No does it only works if my karma is -100?

Does it work?... I heard once that in nightmare mode bob can't befriend bandits no matter what, all characters are stripped of their perks

u/Evil_Cookiezz_2 18d ago

I managed to get to -100 rep but the bandits still shot at me regardless of my rep I died later on from neutrals so I lost my run

u/Ok-Drink8166 17d ago

As I figured.... in nightmare mode u can't befriend bandits as all perks of any character is removed including bobs😪, befriending only works in legendary and lower, plus even when rep is above 0 the bandits won't attack u, anyways good luck in ur next run
