A few times, my squads been killed off, and only I'm alive. Can I drop my kit as walk out without getting shot?

Most people will shoot you anyway, since you could pick up a new kit any time. Some will go and knife/execute you instead of shooting you on sight. Only very rarely will anyone actually let you go.

Unless you are insurgent. Then you may not be killed without weapon. (That means you have to be unarmed for a certain amount of time, though)

Once in 0.9 MEC APC let me go after I surrendered. Then our heli came and rescued me.
Anyway, peoples will shoot you on sight if they see you unarmed.

are we discussing AAS or Insurgency?

there are no ROE penalties in AAS, so your going to get shot.

on Insurgency, if you drop your armed kit and pickup the unarmed kit, you have to wait 2 minutes to fall under the unarmed ROE.

But if you spawn as an unarmed/collaborator it is only 30s until the ROE kicks in, right?

And is it true that you can not pick up the collaborator kit from someone who got shot with it?

unfortunately such rules of war dont apply (well they do people just won't follow them) in a conventional war. you can bet if the US attack China like in PR they're going to shoot or torture and interrogate any one they capture in a Chinese uniform and vice versa.

You should check before posting. "If an insurgent or Hamas player uses the unarmed kit
he will be treated as a civilian after one minute has passed" - manual

Which can be very handy! Especially if you have a black shirt.
If you see an unarmed person on INS maps....shoot them if you dont mind a lower score and long respawn. If you do, then aim around them.
This is why you should squad up and have a specialist with you.

yeah some times they let you go, but most of the time they kill you on sight. i toy with my victims if this happens let them get 100m out then drop em.

heres a video of what i try for, this is why you shoot unarmed combatants on sight

Also shooting civilian will cause your team to lose 10- intel points. So better not shoot them.

i still think using medic bag and epipen should not count as a hostile act. it's first aid, it's a moral responsibility for anyone with medical training. it'd be the same as shooting a doctor for patching up an insurgent who showed up at his hospital.

Rather sure the bag isn't illegal in game.

A good way to troll people on PR is to play Civvy and hold out the medi-bag. People think they can shoot you, but really that's only if you've used it in the last minute.

Found this out the hard way, shot a civvy with the medi-bag and had a hewge respawn time. I thought 'wtf?!'.

I couldve sworn that you could be shot as soon as you selected the med-kit nevermind started to use it.

Your right =], med bag is acceptable, epipen is not =], so feel free to heal people, but be careful about revivals.

Well, you live and learn. Is it illegal to have it 'selected'?
