I encountered an NPC sitting inside the stash house. Bug or feature?

Looks like a feature. Since most recent update (agent of sabotage) I get friendly NPCs in stash houses from time to time. Never before the update and I raid a stash house everyday.

There have been non-combatants in the stash houses since forever. Here's a link to when someone found a hostage in a stash house two years ago. For this reason I always use an smg to liberate the stash houses rather than indiscriminate bombing.

Probably not enough, I'm raiding the next stash house with molotovs

he'd probably be used to the NPC being there and wouldn't have made this post if that were true.

I've been back in the game for 6 weeks, hit these everyday, haven't seen it. 🤷

ask google or siri what "all the time" means, cause you're using it incorrectly.

How are you entering these locations? If you're using a gernade launcher, of course you aren't seeing it

A month or two ago, I saw a random npc in the arcade basement. Was behind me by the big planning boards. Then just disappeared. Assumed it was a bug lol

I've found random npcs in my apartment bathroom sitting on the toilet a couple times, I was even able to knock one out by jumping into her 🤣

I wouldn't know but I assume it's a flavor feature. I got tired of getting shot all the time so now I just launch a grenade or two down the stairs and clear the place that way.
