What is the proper way not to scare civilians?
Seems like you spook civilians whenever you walk by them, is there a way to hide weapons to appear less aggressive?

I find that when you approach them head-on, you get a higher chance of scanning the sickly civilian and getting the Aid Civilian prompt to pop up. Once you aid them, there is from what I can tell a ~5 minute or so timer until you can aid another one.. From my experience, they drop cosmetic gear 75% of the time, worn / grey items for dismantling 25% of the time.. There is also a corresponding sound when you begin to scan them, so keep your ears open.. Also once scanned you only have a short window to help the, before they get snotty and walk off upset - a few times I was a second too slow and lost my item but got no XP or reward. Hope that helps.

Definitely don't take aim at them...they don't seem to like that in my experience!
In the open beta you could give them energy bars and things but I've not seen that in the live version yet.
