I had just made my 3 characters (James, Gizmo and Jenny) and found the perfect place I was surrounded by cliffs on two ways in and out (I was so happy).
Immediately after spawning i did the usual get wood metal houses... after about 5 minuets a pirate assault started to happen, needless to say after 2 minuets i was being shot at,and I was about to loose but at that moment a tribe passed by and since the pirates were focused on me the tribe annihilated them letting me collect a few prisoners, Minnie guns and some power suit armor Luckiest game ever. ;D 8) :)
Minigun and power armour in your first raid early game? I usually get a single raider with pistol after half a week or so.
what difficulty were you playing? That's insane you got that straight off o.O
That sounds like something "Randy Random" would do on any difficulty.
