  1. Some good tips here. I would also suggest running only through forests and to a lesser extent open fields. In towns/cities/main roads, I highly suggest crouching at all times and proning a LOT. I just about never get killed when I'm prone, you have to be patient in this game to survive longer, even crouching at the wrong time can get you killed.

  2. Yeah, the firs time I got shot for trying to be friendly, I was angry. Now... I get a laugh out of it.

    It doesn't exactly bother me when I'm just staight up killed for my supplies, I just hate getting shot for sport/people pretending to be friendly until a moment of opportunity to kill me.


  3. I'm a survivor, and I dont really hate bandits since I dont run into them too often and they often fail. It feels just about right.

    That said having somebody rob me would be a new experience... infuriating of course but it would make a better story.

    Agreed, I don't hate bandits, it's a compelling part of the game that needs to stay in. I'm brainstorming to think of ideas to level the playing field.

  4. Easier to just kill you, also people like to cause grief and just kill for the fun of it.

    I have seen it done before though.

    True but that is something that can't be helped. People are gonna be jerks in any game, it's just a shame that the game punishes you more for being a nice guy than a jerk.

    That aside, I have no problem with bandits besides the fact that they dwarf the survivors in terms of numbers. Like I said though, what is the point of killing an unarmed man. Besides griefing I mean.

  5. Hey, Bandits.

    I know we got off on the wrong foot, what with you shooting me in the face. No, no, I get it, you really needed that bandage and painkillers.

    Passive aggressive humour aside, I have a suggestion for you guys. Instead of straight out killing an unarmed person, why not just hold them up and take the supplies, leaving them alive? I can see you guys shooting on sight if we are armed, but if I'm in town just looking for supplies like you, just take mine and leave me to find my own.

    I realize you guys can easily disregard this and I expect as much. But the odds are greatly in your favour in terms of survival instead of players like me who don't player kill unless I am positive the player I meet is going to kill me.

    Anyways, have fun out there you crazy bandits, you.

    SUPER EDIT: Also, having dialogue in voicechat while you guys rob us could actually be pretty fun/humorous.

  6. I do have to confess my first murder.

    It was night-time and the friend I was meeting up with had been shot in the small business office in Cherno, near the hotels. I was crawling my way there as there was still gunfire and zombies near by, he had died just as I reached the entrance. I took his painkillers and moved out of the building where I was greeted by the gunman who likely shot down my friend. He shot me twice, I think, and I put one well-placed bullet into his head, dropping him instantly. I took off to the nearest of the hotels and bandaged myself up, glad I grabbed those painkillers.

    He, like Han, shot first. I think I was in the right.

  7. If you have 2-4 canteens of water, matches, axe and knife, you can survive in wilderness, only exposing yourself when getting water or changing forest--> Stick to forests west of Zelenogorsk along the borders to the far north and north- east, that way you can hunt tents, hidden cars and other hunters.

    Upside: Great chance for gear stealing, long survival.

    Downside: missing most of map, hardly see other players

    Not a bad idea, though I feel much safer with a firearm.

    I ended up running into a friendly in Kozlovka. Supposedly him and some friends are friendlies like me wanting to group up and survive rather than kill other players. Showed me some cool spots, was definitely a good idea to head in the direction I did!

    That's why I love this game, cause even little stuff like that is a cool experience you don't find in many games.

  8. A few moments ago I decided to hit up Cherno to meet up with a friend by the supermarket. He had to evade some zombies so he took off to the church. I started making my way there when a survivor on a bike rides by. I ask him on voice chat "Hey! You friendly?" I ask. He doesn't respond. I'm weaponless and don't care if I die but he just crouches by me. Just then we're swarmed by zombies, so we both take off in different directions. My friend gets close by, and is quickly shot by an unseen bandit. I double back and see another couple dead bodies by the bike that weren't there before. I haven't got on a bike yet so I thought "Why not!" and hop on, as I'm shot in the back immedietly. I peddle and zigzag out of there but I was already bleeding badly. I follow the train tracks out of town passing a mysterious bus and keel over dead.

    One of the more enjoyable short playthroughs.


  9. I do like that this game kind of gives you an option to kill other humans if you'd like, but it appears most people have chosen that route, obviously.

    I'll always be a helpful player because I simply find it much more fulfilling. Yesterday I ran into a player who had some supplies I could have easily shot him for because he was unarmed, but I took him with me. He seemed reluctant at first, and I bet if he had a gun he would have put me down fast.

    We were in Cherno, scrounging empty hotels for anything that may be useful. I heard several gunshots but I was pretty sure they weren't meant for us. My silent partner wasn't so convinced and decided to make a break for it down the streets. The undead decided to accompany him and then there was no hope.

    Off to find the next person to survive against the living and the dead.
