Sadly a guy throwing one in a supermarket is now dead. Him and his pal arrived like the cavalry shooting like mad, so my trigger finger got "itchy". Throwing a chemlight in Electros supermarket is a death sentence. Silly..

I use flares and chemlights to detract snipers. Throw five in different directions.

I play a lot at night :) The first time I went into the NW AF barracks was at night, just with the light from my weapon. But you need at minimum a compass. Met up with some friends at night, it's cool as I had to guess so hard where I was. But also died once going into Berezino, when a night ninja Zed was breaking my legs while running. I hoped the night would loose them easily. :| My best heli crash was also at night as the light from the turret attracted me to it. As 50 and MK 48. Only once had NVG. Miss them though. Never found any in a loot place, just once in a hoarded vehicle.

It's always night whatever time it is :|

What would interest me more is, iff all badass real snipers have to piss in their pants to stay undetected? :|

OP just gets upset and feels guilty about not feeling guilty. :D Bandits make this game. In a World full of Arseholes, being nice is the real challenge. If you play FPS shooters, come on there are people out there that are nicer than us. ;)

3er Person for traveling. The up and down in 1st Person makes you all dizzy after hours of running. Usually I hate 3rd Person but here its necessary. Running in real life feels different.

Play without friends, that's too easy.

Found my first M9SD yesterday, shot a zed no effect dropped the damn thing then for an M1911, nearly the same crap. I always thought the G17 was crap now it's even more useless. Makarov fired fast at least, now the same crap. Enfield a pointless weapon now. :|

Where were you killed?

The idea of different people posting different opinions could solve your puzzle. ;)

Depends once i was kiled by a sniper after i crossed half the map crawling after a broken leg. My longest survivor used up 400 bullets on zeds and no other survivor came. I was as loud as possible. The middle super market has some nice stairs that slow zeds to pick them off

I find also loads more drink. Cans of food not that often. But i was lucky and found everyhing to cook meat, so no worries. :D

I do run to a hospital get morphine, you dont wNt to get caught without it, go to a barn find weapons, if lucky food, find hatchet often there too, when you find a water bottle and matches you are set. Never leave until you have two drinks and two cans of food. Avoid cherno. Avoid super market. Go to rog or Zog, there is often a bigger back pack. Go only in the woods, where possible. Watch your profile at all times. Go ne air field less busy. If you are lucky find a heli crash. Never go on a crest, cross fields fast if unavoidable, then change direction. If you see a player avoid them. If you are sniped at run zig zags, randomly not predictable etc. dont hide in grass as the lod will show no grass in distane. Dont open doors outwards. When you approach loot. The zeds will spawn in your direction, now make a big arch and approach from the rear etc.

Join clan, clan gets server, clan mates go to loot points .. Server reboot, clan takes vehicles, stores them north. No one else drives. :|

I found one today. It's still there as i found the 3 afterwards. :D

There is no food limitation in this game, and no one fights for access to females. Once you have a hatchet,matches, water bottle and a hunting knife you can easily live in the woods. Go north off map, wait till a cow spawns 8 steaks. Go to a lake. That's it. The rest is boredom and greed to have leet weapon x There is nothing to build. Barbed wire that doesn't hold off zeds, tank traps .. And no tanks, bear traps and no bears. I don't mind fps and dm. Died Twice today as i was so bored with all my gear, lol. Once i approached a guy which i could have killed with a frag and wasting him with 400 bulets, the other one i had a mad run down the road to electro. Next life, still alive but was bored and went into the direction of the shots. Tried to talk to one guy, realised it was a clan. Shoot at them, they ran away. In the beginning i died from zeds. In real life i wouldnt have respawned. I don't know how many have never ever died. Especially with no youtube videos etc.

Exactly. You run into bandits you shoot the first, and his pal shoots you .. simple maths. That's why teamwork will always win in the long term.

Well if you study the evolution of man you will be aware of stochastic distributions of traits and that a maybe is less evidence than actual past history. The game also offers no possibilities of describing a person accurately, no reproduction as an incentive to survive. The zombie threat would also be real, so wasting your time shooting others would be idiotic and only some would do it. People would also have some experiences on whom to trust or not. Redneck types | career people would get a bullet in the head just to be safe. Some would betray, but they wouldn't respawn and learn from their experience. Ultimately those that would be able to socialise and produce children would survive. Rapers wouldn't take care of their children. We rose from anarchy as we are social, otherwise we couldn't live as dense as we do. In real life the area would be bigger and people that form groups successfully, would become stronger than individuals, even if they are psychos. The game spawns you alone mostly with strangers. People team up outside, as they want to team up. Makes them stronger. The game just favours psychos, makes newspawn weak and concentrates them in a predictable area. You would also unlikely spawn with a couple of Russian, Hungarians, some Germans some US etc, most would know how to use their mouths and not all would be alone washed on at the shore in a largely FPS male community. It's a nice and tense DM simulator with too much running. It's a nice experiment.

Utter bullshit unless you haven't read the evolution of man or you are into some cult, like Christianity. :D People build clans, tribes etc, they then fight each other .. and the more people they are the more they cooperate and lock, sociopaths behind bars.

I like the show. Less running and he can remove the arrows from the zeds.

Run and then run more.

Running is starting to become boring .. :) It needs more vehicles that can't be hoarded ... Maybe that will be my next role, vehicle redistribution ..

Hehe I just tried my first friendly encounter. I died. It's OK i wanted to die, it was so boring fully geared up. :D And my MK48 ammo was getting more everytime I logged in. Had 4 Magazines. But lost water bottles injectors etc. Played safe survivor for 9 days. My next role will be psychopath. :)

I see these quite often. Most have been lucky then. Next time I see them, i'll log out immediately.
