kleep

TL;DR I use my mic for the first time and meet a cool guy. We meet 2 meth addicted psychos who try to kill us. My friend ends up killing me instead. I am in some town up north and have barely anything and hadn't seen a soul for 30 minutes. All I have is revolver (no ammo), fireaxe, some food and I'm almost dying of thirst. All of a sudden I hear this very faint, "Hello?". It almost felt like it was part of the game... but it was weird sounding so I speak "Ummmmmmmmm". Then I hear it again, "Umm Hello?" this time closer. So I say "Ummmmm" again really awkwardly. I go out to the street and see a guy a few houses down staring out me. But I can tell by his voice he is a cool guy (probably around my age and non-intimidating) so I don't try to hide, plus I had nothing to lose at that point. So we start randomly talking using voice. He tells me it is his first 20 minutes of the game and I tell him I'm dying of thirst. I told him a few tips on where to find water and we were kind of just shooting the shit. So me being shy I'm like "Well bye." We kind of run away but end up in the same house and he is like "I FOUND WATER!" So I run in and ask if I could take a sip and he said he was already going to let me have some. So we share our water and all of a sudden we hear this far off voice.. picture the voice of a stoner guy.... and he says "Robot? Is that you?" We were like... wtf? But I'm high and I feel like being weird so I say, "This is robot." And my friend is thinking it is a friend of mine but I tell him it is just some random guy. So the guy keeps asking for robot and I keep laughing and telling him I am robot. Then all of a sudden he BARGES into our room with his axe screaming "YOU AREN'T ROBOT!" and tries to kill us. We awkwardly fight and my friend wants to run but I'm cracking up and try to kill this guy. I'm chasing him screaming "You are a psycho! I'm gonna kill you." Finally after 1 minute of chasing him around I kill him. My friend comes back and says "OMG you killed him!" So we share his loot and my friend finds a syringe on him. We joke that he was probably a meth addict. After we grab his stuff we agree to go exploring together. Heading up a hill we decide where to go next when all of a sudden we hear this very faint "This is robot. I was meeting my friend. Where is he?" I start cracking up and am like "no fucking way" and we try run away but the guy sees us and comes running at us. His character is an asian lady and he has no weapons. I tell him that we killed his psycho friend because he was a maniac who tried to axe us. Robot starts sprinting around us in circles. Just sprinting in circles, screaming shit about how his friend led troops in Nam and that we were wrong to kill him. We try to kill him but he is too fast and if we let him get close he can punch us to death. So we have this mexican stand off. While robot is running in circles around us I joke "Wow this game is so immersive." and my friend says "Ya it really captures the post apocalyptic feeling perfectly." All of a sudden robot gets close us, swinging his fists at us and we take swings at him and... the last thing I hear is "Oh shit I think I hit you with my axe". I fall to ground and die. The fate of my friend and robot is something I will never know. I like to believe that robot and my friend made peace and they continue on today as 2 adventures searching for food and guns.

I was looting a tower at an airport and was there for about 10 minutes managing my inventory and dealing with lag. I was wearing a ballistic helmet, gas mask and behind glass windows. I am in the inventory when all of a sudden I get the black screen saying "You are dead". I didn't hear a shot or anything. And the weird thing is when I died I had the red disconnect symbol. Is it possible to be so far away that the target doesn't even hear a noise when going down? Is it possible to get 1 shotted while wearing a ballistic helmet? I would be okay if it was a sniper, I just have a weird feeling it was some exploit or bug.
