Died far up north and spawned back by the big blue, so I do what everyone from the north does: I run to the nearest major city and begin the looting spree. Going through the city, picking through some respectable loot when I hear the distinct sound of a single DMR shot. GenericFreshie has been killed. Even if he's not a good bandit, he's at least a good shot. I keep hunting, finding everything I need eventually and getting ready to head out. Another single DMR shot. Another random beachbum has fallen to the cherno sniper. Figuring he's on the center tower, the tallest building in cherno and lamest sniping spot, I rush up to the top of the ladder with my weapon in hand, nothing. The complaining begins, our new friends report his position on one of the hospitals so I take a peek, sure enough, prone bandit with an sniper rifle on the eastern hospital. I watch him for a minute to figure out how he's running his operation and decide the safest way to reach him would be tto run from the west side (where that second tier of hospital roof would block his view from the lower one) and make my way through the zombies in front to reach the broken ladder (the small one leading to the landing, where you can often make your way up the second ladder undetected. I do so without interference and when right before I reach the top of the hospital I decide to take a look over the rim to see which way he's facing. They're facing north. Either his friend logged in or I'm blind as a bat, the situation is twice as tough as I anticipated. I wait for the moment when they both turn to shoot GenericFreshie3 and hop onto the rooftop. I draw my machete and sprint towards the sniper pair, hacking away at them. Hack. Hack. One down, his friend hears his whines over teamspeak and tries to turn to face me. Hack. Hack. Second fully geared sniper down. I really hacked them good. Loot ended up being more than I could carry, so I donated the rest to GenericFreshie4. Got a good 'hacking' story? Something interesting happen with a hatchet or machete? I'd love to hear it!
