First experience running into a bandit.. I had been in cherno and found an abandoned construction site on the edge of town. I crept around the zombies to get inside and found quite a few useful items. (Hatchet, water bottle, food.) I had found an Enfield rifle before in a barn a while back, so I decided to use this site as a sniping perch. I am not hostile to anyone despite being killed before when I had no gear whatsoever. (I don't really count that experience.) I had gone prone and it was late in the afternoon. I looked up and saw a player crouch running down the road towards my construction site. I couldn't tell whether not he was a bandit or not, I didn't know the difference yet. I can tell he saw me as ran to the bottom floor and I backed away into the middle of the roof. Two entrances to me. One is a door that leads to the stairs, the other was a ladder that could take you down to the floor below. I was scared out of my mind. I knew he was there, waiting for me. I also knew that he had a gun with him. I was unsure of what to do, but I had to outsmart him somehow. I looked all around and couldn't find him from the roof. He was hiding downstairs somewhere. I climbed down the ladder to the 3rd floor and saw nothing. I climbed down the other staircase that was nearest to the ladder. There, he was waiting for me, sort of. I went down the first set of steps and saw him. He was crouched with his AK pointed at the door on the first floor. He was expecting me to come down and he would hit me from the opening. But I had the jump on him, his back was turned. He turned around only for a second before I shot him in the back of the head with my enfield. A one hit kill and the bandit was down. The zombies feasted on his corpse and I waited. Eventually I shot a few and examined his body. He was an experienced bandit. Must have killed many people and lived many days, only to die at the hands of a noob like me. He had blood bags, a compass, a map, a watch, many bandages, flares, an AK with many rounds, morphine, an epi pen, and more. I felt triumph for the first time in the game. I stopped someone from murdering anyone else, at least, for a little while. *spoilers* My guy vaulted off the building like a retard later in the night and broke his legs. I know nobody in the game, so I just let myself die.*/spoilers*
