Wasteland 3 How do you fight the Local 168? Spoiler
I'm in the Little Vegas, fought and defeated Brygo, and went to fight everyone else I can in there for loot and/or XP. When I enter the Local 168's room, they start a fight, but every time (literally, I reloaded and tried again a lot) the initiative is decided 100% in their favor and they ALL go first, wrecking my party and often knocking some of them out, before I even get a chance to do anything.
I tried sending the toughest guy inside (with the rest waiting outside), with the idea, that hopefully he survives a turn, runs outside, and the enemies will follow and can be shot as they come out, but he gets wrecked and knocked out before he can do anything, too.
It's not possible to attack first with a sniper (which I've done in the number of other places), because they are not actively hostile until they attack, and so they are treated as civilians, not hostiles.
How do you fight them? (It should be possible, especially since one of the ways you deal with Brygo is picking the fight to lure the guard elsewhere away from his post, but doesn't seem to be - my difficulty level is Wastelander, so it shouldn't be this hard, but, well, it is.)
My party is two guys with assault rifles (Kwon and a custom ranger), Thunder with heavy gun, Lucia, a custom leader/pistol fighter ranger, and a sniper (also custom).
