I love bandit status I must say. Since becoming a bandit I haven't really killed any players just for the sake of it. I just love the extra challange. Being in a bandit skin tends to leave people to open fire first, ask questions later... Heck even my friend that joined I told to always shoot bandits before trying to work with them. Who else has become a bandit just for the extra challange? I've killed 3 people as a bandit. 2 of those because they opened up on me. Generally when people engage I try to bug out. Not always possible though!
