This has happened twice in two days with a new character I made on RK 2. Once in the Newland, once in Stret West Bank/Last Ditch.
Basically, 99% of the mobs in the mission are named like off-the-street civilians in any city or town. They're dressed like it too, in all those scattered, terrible fashions. ;) No weapons, just fist fighters.
I played a neutral agent up to level 25 or so on RK1 and never had this happen. Anyone else run into this?
