self professed Bandit here. In the games current state, outside of hunger/thirst there really isn't much danger. Zombies are few and can be dealt with. Other players keep it interesting. The threat of being gunned down or tortured when attempting to find loot adds another dynamic to the game. Just today I ambushed a guy coming into the airfield, and since he had no weapons and had obviously just started, i let him go. If your a new player or not a threat, i won't shoot. Its a waste of ammo. If you have something i need, i will take it from you and most likely let you live. Sometimes i handcuff you and feed you rotten fruit, or break your legs. All depends if you can make me laugh or not.
