A Snipers tale and first Bandit kill....... Have been playing Dayz for a few months now and i regularly read the forums everyday but don't feel any need to contribute..... but after a situation i found myself in last night i felt compelled to add my story. I play Dayz as i would in real life, try not to KOS but rather watch players from a distance and give players a chance. It has got me killed on many occassion but if i wanted to KOS i would go back to BF3 etc, this game is about realism and probably the best game i have played in over 20 years. Last night myself and 4 friends ( george, andy, sean and mark ( won't use player names through fear of revenge ) ) headed from our base camp to NE airfield to do some looting. We are fortunate to have a V3S civillian truck stacked with goods and let's us have a mobile basecamp on our regular server. We approached from the north, parked up in the woods and headed into the NE airfield perimeter. I am currently dressed in a Ghillie with an SVD camo, george is with me rockin camo and an AKM and andy is in ghillie with m16. mark and sean are on the far right side near the top 2 hangers. Now the plan was to check the left side units and provide sniper cover and support for mark and sean across the runway but as ever nothing tends to goto plan when playing with renegades. Andy you see if a bit of a wildcard. If he is not blowing up supermarkets with satchel charges he is normally running around elektro shooting anything and everything.... he normally ends up dead everyday. George and myself are moving slowly down the left side of the airstrip in cover and checking for players as we go when all of a sudden george shouts "aggro near central control tower". We stop to check and sure enough i get a blip with my rangefinders saying man distance 900m with zombies all around. Mark and sean slow down on the right side of the airfield in the top 2 hangers and wait inside hanger number 2 setting up defensive positions. We start calling for each others positions and find that andy has decided to do a full sprint down to the south barracks...... i let out a little sigh..... ah well at least we will find out if there is anyone down there. George and myself start slowly moving down through the treeline to get closer to the south barracks and get halfway down the left side runway when andy shouts ... " oh s*** someones shooting at me.... crap i've been killed. Ok andy was it a sniper ?, was it a silenced gun ?... not sure was the reply but it took about 11 or 12 shots so could have been an AR. We then tried deciding what to do. Do we move further down to avenge our fallen or retreat to the truck . George and myself agreed we would move close to the south barracks for overwatch whilst mark and sean would stay put in defensive positions in top hanger 2. As we got close to the barracks george shouts " i can see a crashed heli in the middle of the airstrip and i think i can see a player being chased by zeds.". At this point george and myself retreat a little bit and i move to the big rock just about midway on the left side runway, reason for this is it shortens the distance for a sniper shot and gives good overwatch on the entire bottom section of hangers. I'm busy scanning the south right side below the hangers and can see plenty of civilian zed's but no players..... he must have been chased there but can't see him when george shouts...." player spotted at foot of 2 fir trees close together on far side " i scope with the SVD and sure enough see a player lying down surrounded by zed's. I try and get a range on a zed close to the player... hmm 500m approx .... going to be tough when all of a sudden the player moves to a crouch. I call to the others should i take the shot i cannot see if he is a bandit but it's a good chance that was the player that killed andy..... i get a reply from mark go for it if you can and with that i fire and see an instant hit.... i can't believe i have hit him, i have practiced with the svd on goats etc and have not had much success and was shocked when i saw blood shoot out of his head. At this point my heart feels like it's going to burst out of my chest and the adrenalin was rushing. I fire another shot to make sure when it comes up ... tyrone is dead.... "wow" replies george "nice shot, let's check his body and loot the chopper". We make our way to the right side of the airstrip zig zagging while mark and sean retreat to the truck as they have to log out for the night. George is keeping the zed's busy at the crashed heli while i check the dead body..." omg he's a bandit with towel wrapped round his chops.... must have been the guy that killed andy". Sure enough the guy had loads of gear gps, nvg ,m24 sniper, L85A2 with thermal.... we could have been seconds away from being slaughtered. We hid his body then made our way north back to the truck. Once at the truck i switch debug back on and sure enough 1 bandit kill. I know most players like the as50 and m107 but last night i was loving my svd camo, sure it may take 2 shots to kill but with patience and spotter support it can be deadly. The thrill of hunting bandits for revenge.....
