NO.

A Griefer is going to grief you whether you have a weapon or not. They don't do it for your loot. They do it just to kill you.

Meh.... 6 one, half dozen the other. I got spawn bugged to the ocean once, lost everything. That was the toughest first hour yet as i had no weapons. Went all the way to Prigorodki, scavenging every house and barn i could on the way before finding a Winchester, and didnt get a hand gun until i made it to Berezino.

Another awesome change on the first one there. I like the second, too.

Also, the patch is officially live.

[SpecOpsScott]

Zeds are quicker and deadlier, they spawn in buildings. Your level of "visibility" is increased as well, no longer "invisible" when crawling. The new sounds and animations are pretty good too. Hiding from Zombies works. I aggro'd a monkey and hid from him in a barn.

The new zombie aggro dynamics are forcing me to be more cautious than I already am being. Time to do some research.
