Why do NPCs run in terror?

Getting attacked by other hostile NPCs or monsters can do this – another reason why it’s important to clear out your path beforehand. If you happen to switch weapons to something deadlier than a BB gun, it can also cause them to run in terror. Finally, if you happen to save in the middle of a chase, stop playing, and reload, the game will refresh the NPCs scripting and they will once again be at risk of fleeing. But in any of these cases, just repeat the shooting-them-from-afar-when-they-crouch-down trick and you’ll be back in business.

How to stop a NPC from fleeing?

When you notice a settlement NPC trying to flee (it’s hard to miss – they’ll holster their weapons and usually cry out in fear), watch them and wait for them to stop; they will usually crouch down and put their hands over their heads. When this happens, take manual aim with your BB gun (make sure and stay far enough away that you don’t cause them to start running again), and shoot them. Ninety percent of the time this will snap them out of flee-mode, and they will start chasing you regularly again – if it doesn’t, just repeat the process. There isn’t a single NPC who works for settlement-building that is 100% cowardly, and doing this will usually prevent them from attempting to flee again, even all the way back to your settlement.
