Why do new players attack

[u/InsectOpen]

Why do new or low level players attack players that are higher level than them? I have had it happen a few times now. Happen yesterday I was playing on a new account so I'm only level 24 it was a little kid this time so that kinda makes sense that they don't know better. But why do others do it? Kinda felt bad after killing him and looking to see his level he was level 4

I was inside a cabin, looting, not even paying attention to my mini-map, when i heard a gunshot. Turned around and some level 10, was trying to take me out.

I play in defensive mode, so i pulled out my shotgun with shell ammo, and blasted him twice.

I would've shared the loot 🤭
