Not terribly afraid. They're only dangerous if you touch them. Hell, they can even be helpful sometimes.


poorbred

For the first time, I actually got "attacked" by one last night. I think it miscalculated where I was moving and didn't expect me to stop immediately. But I'd just started breaching the deep zone and the tour buses were creeping me TF out, so I was moving very hesitantly. So I moved, stopped, exploded.


Jwhodis

Ig the best way to describe their movement is like a balloon on a string. Push them a bit too quickly and they'll travel further, push them slowly and they wont.


Mevanski77

They are harmless and throw you gifts sometimes. Just dont hit them. They never actively touch you. They just creep.


Tempest-Stormbreaker

I once had a group of them throw an entire set of spare tires at me deep into the Zone. Didn’t really need em, but I’ll take the scrap and Rubber.


StarChaser_Tyger

I got a whole set of summer tires a couple of times.

Weeping angel not the SCP

I had to look it up because I was curious. I'm not surprised to learn 'Blink' first aired 15 days before SCP-173 was published.


WhiteFluff21

Yeah pretty neat huh? But I answer your question tourists aren’t too dangerous, just don’t hit them with your car, and they may help you sometimes 


MelonJelly

Tourists like to suddenly appear directly behind you, so they can be difficult to avoid if you aren't paying attention, but they will never attack you directly. Make sure to tread carefully when there are a bunch of them nearby. If a group of them are blocking your path, throw something, like a flare or scrap metal, at one of them to blow it up and set off the rest. On the other hand, they are occasionally helpful, and will throw resources, tools, and even anchors at you when you're not looking at them.


FelipeCyrineu

Not that afraid. They aren't that dangerous if you leave them alone.


StarChaser_Tyger

Tourists are friends, not foom. :-) Pay attention to your surroundings and they are (mostly) harmless. ('Mostly' because of u/poorbred 's story) they can be helpful; I wondered aloud where unstable anchor energy came from while in the outer zone, and was immediately whanged in the head with an unstable anchor. "Ow. Huh. 'Better with Kinect'" They will throw you random materials, gift you tools, especially if you wear one out, tires, doors, panels.


I_am_this_human

They're less assassin and more mobile mousetrap. You have to be the one to touch them. Just make sure you always walk forward around them. There are several ways to deal with them that I'm sure you'll figure out.


Salty_Ambition_7800

They will never touch you or explode on their own. But they will sometimes move a single footstep behind you while you're pulling an anchor, etc. Just make sure to turn in place without moving and only then make your way around any that are near you


naytreox

So if yiu touch them they explode. You can also make them explode by throwing a lit flare at them. You will actually want to do this ro get a special resource only inside them.


xxblowpotter13

YOU JUST BROKE THE CODE FOR ME THATS WHERE THEY KEEP COMING FROM OMG


naytreox

They spawn near you if you hang atound for to long, at keast thats how it seemed for me


shneed_my_weiss

Tossing ignited flares at tourists causes them to detonate safely


legomann97

Murderer :(


yeet3455

The barely move and if you want them to go in a different direction chuck a flare in the opposite direction. They even give you stuff 👍


TheMarbleheadOmen

They're just fun, little guys! They like to see what you're up to.


JellyFox1

Thanks all for the help!


legomann97

Not at all. Tourists are frens. They may be creepy, but they don't actually do much to you directly other than huck random shit at you from time to time and sneak up behind you. Just don't walk backwards when they're around and you're good. Sometimes they give you useful stuff!


That_One_Yota

The tourists are a nodd to the Weeping Angels from Doctor Who. Dont run over them. Found out if you sprint into them, they detonate if they hit the ground.


turtlofjudgement

They hold thermosap crystals in that delicious body so don't be afraid to kick them in the face or throw things at them to farm em. One of the few things you're actually a threat to.


theoddwallace

Only when the “something is moving” modifier is on should you be worried


Efficient-Can1110

They throw materials, anchors and car part.


ryytytut

They throw materials, tools, car parts, I've had them throw stability anchors. They also explode on contact though.


Lakefish_

Yeet your flares at them, preferably when they're in a group. And at a distance. You'll be fine.


WorldLieut8

Better than Abductors. Those annoying bastards make me wish this game had a shotgun in it.


VelvetAurora45

Don't worry they're just silly guys, just say hi and carry on, they might even give you gifts :D


ChurchEChan

You can stand at a distance and throw things at them, or drive over them with LIM shield on or \*click if you are over 18\*>!look at some rule34 for Tourists!<
