If you watch more than the last 30 seconds you'll see what happened. I spot them, try to give them a wide berth. They chase me for a while, taking pot shots. I drop my gear (basically nothing) to show I'm unarmed. They then take up an ambush position near Krutoy Cap. When I make myself known they shoot again, at which point I decided to make them waste some ammo. Going up against a bunch of armed players was never going to get me any loot.
