I don’t think i’ve encountered a single friendly person in vigor, especially if you have no guns, afterall we’re rewarded for killing via experience and whatever loot they could’ve had and it’s not like they have a choice to drop their loot to save their life anyways and nobody wants to hesitate in killing them in case they destroy their inventory (yes people do this), so yes you can spawn in with no weapons, no you almost certainly won’t encounter any friendly outlanders.
