When you get close to the encampment with the dock Boone tells you that if he sees anything wearing red he's going to shoot it. That's the only warning you get and if you go closer he'll keep his word and start shooting legionnaires, there's no way of stopping him from doing it. If you don't want a fight, you either have to give the town wide bearth or send him back to whatever return point the game has currently set for him.mb16 said:this may have been why as i was walking to the docks and he may have shot a scoutChaosweaver said:Having Boone with you can also cause this.
On the other hand, if he's got a good rifle and you can help stop them from mobbing him, he'll wipe them all out and you can loot the place distraction free.
