This is my 1.5 year old's favorite song :D

I always hear these stories from anti-bandits about how much fun they are having looking for beans.

Stories like this inspire me. They inspire me to grab my AS50 and head to Cherno.

Stay away from AMD and BIOSTAR. ESPECIALLY BIOSTAR. Asus is the brand you want to look at for building your own rig.

This seems to be hit or miss. Some people put on the suit just fine, others lose their packs, I've even heard of people losing everything from inventory upon relog after equiping a ghillie. Whatever the risk is, it's worth it.

I think I read that in the next patch you can respawn if you have broken legs. Suicide just takes too damn long when you can only crawl.

right click>remove from toolbelt it will put the axe in your primary weapon slot oh yea.... don't forget to reload :P

Nice shooting!

high-larious :lol:

Aint that the truth. Whiny noobs is THE reason to find a sniper rifle.

I did luck out and hook up with some good guys. Trust was established quickly out of need. It doesn't take much to survive in DayZ, but if you want to THRIVE, you're going to need friends. What I'm really saying is that working in a squad unlocks the true potential of the game. Zombies are not the real threat in DayZ. Once you are working in a squad you can achieve goals beyond simply surviving. I've never actually died of dehydration. Just making a funny.

I've been playing DayZ for a little over a week and last night was the first time I grouped up with people off the forums. My advice to any new player is to hook up with some other players and go all-out. Playing alone, DayZ is some sort of horrible survival simulator that leaves you dead from dehydration in 30 minutes. With friends, DayZ is a wonderful mod that simulates what a zombie apocalypse would be like, if you were a heavily armed Navy Seal sniper squad.

I want to get in on the strange people invite list

I added you. Steam ID: manic.dizaster looking forward to rolling with a crew for a change

My first attempts at banditry turned into axe murders. My first three victims were unarmed but that didn't stop me. Shortly after finding a Winchester 1866 on a corpse outside the airstrip in Balota I also found my fourth victim. After unsuccessfully attempting to raid the deer stands in the army camp I fell back and as I did I turned around just in time to catch a survivor closing in on the camp. I took a moment to catch my breath then put three rounds into him. I didn't loot the first two victims because they were unarmed, so this was the first victim I looted. Oh man, he was carrying some nice gear too. NVG, GPS, toolbox, entranching tool, ALICE pack, and more. I was stoked. As I opened the ALICE pack to see what goodies I would find within I got shot in the head. Insta-dead. In one moment I went from nothing to everything then back to nothing. Perhaps not true banditry as defined in OP, but this seems to be the way things work in Chernarus.
