I hate the general bandit.

[Deeeenniss 1]

So I was playing some Panthera just some moments ago when we came under shot from a sniper on a hill. We were in that camp with the deer stands west from skooma.

My friend did get shot and died, me wanting to take revenche started looking for him.

So I spotted his location that was east of the camp, he had a dmr and I had a m1911. After a fight he didden't shot me once while i did hit him few times in the body. While he was dying HE FUCKING PRESSED ALT F4

Being a bandit is fun but please be a good loser and know that you have lost terribly when you get shot with a m1911 while having supreme overlook.

I hope to get similar story's like this :D !

Fuck Bandits.

Im fine with PvP but ive been killed so many times as a fresh spawn with nothing on me.

Bandits fail to realize that we don't have to play this like its call of duty.

[kebman 213]

Sorry, but bandits don't give a fuck what you think they should realize. Instead, man up and find a way to survive them. Moving more tactically and avoiding known sniper spots helps. Or even better, pawn them like the dude in that vid. Also, nice move with the M1911, Deeeennis. Like a boss!

Oh I'm having no problem surviving them, but they should know if they are going to hunt fresh spawnd players and they get killt and then press alt +f4 that they are douchebags:p

But hey thanks !

First key to surviving a sniper is to always think that there is a sniper. If you are standing still you are waiting to get shot. The second key to surviving a sniper is to move as fast as you can, keeping him on your 3 or 9 and with slight changes of direction every couple of seconds. If you have a buddy and can ascertain his general location, then try to flank him. If you are on your own just get out of the AO double quick.

Made the guy think that i was taking cover, the first 3 shots were miss on a standing still target made me know that he was a noobie or a bad cheater. due to that there was a mountain terrain it was somewhat easy to flank the sucker

What game are you speaking about here?

People who kill new spawns aren't bandits, they are trolls. I am a bandit; i hunt people for their gear and vehicles. If i see someone with a patrol pack and a pistol, I assume the hassle of taking 10s to look down my sights and fire is a waste of time. The Way of the True Bandit involves not lying about being friendly and not killing those who have no gear, as well as accepting defeat. Thief of virtue right here :D

Bandits like you are why I never carry more than an axe and a handgun for zeds. I wouldn't be a threat to you if I carried more, but you might not see it that way. :)

[Imafighter 236]

Bandit-hunter here. Going to go to sniper hill and kill any fags up there tommorow.

[Siberian (DayZ) 527]

for the most part its the players who snipe noobs from hidden positions with sniper rifles are the very same players who wouldnt hold a candle at a proper PVP fest at the military spawn points..

thats why they Alt-F4.. lame players are lame..

they just wanna press that "i win" button till it wont work anymore then when under fire they will exit game.

/sigh..

i may not be a PVP player, but at least have the decency to stay in game if you open fire on someone..for me personaly when i take fire (since i never open fire on players) i'll rabbit like a mofo.

in fact i had a couple of great rabbit sessions this weekend on Takistan and Panthera.. both times said sniper missed me several times and was unable to find my hidy-hole..

good times indeed.

I am a medic, so I refuse to kill anyone unless they directly assault me.

scout a lot, and try to hide.

Whenever I spot a bandit or group that looks like they are doing fine without my help I just find a pinetree to camp under. Keep watching their movement and make sure to be hidden until they leave the perimeter.

Nobody likes bandits as nobody likes to get their stuff stolen.

[sostronk 334]

I consider myself a bandit but I kill fresh spawns. It pisses me off when I do though, I just wasted ammo on someone who has nothing.

[_headripper_ 8]

Best way to gear up, get a Enfield/AKM/AK74 or something, take position near high value target, wait.. loot!

Started on a new server yesterday, ~40min later i got a alice-pack, m14aim, as50, allmost all tools and a m9sd.

For the record, i used to explore/find my own stuff, but.. after ~20+ teleports into the sea/air and ~30+ ppl shooting me in the back, coming from nowhere, i rather play high and go for the good stuff more offensively :D

I like general bandit... But that private bandit!!

Untrue. Hidden position sniping is tactical, and you're clearly butt hurt about it. Tactical sniping has nothing to do with alt f4'ing

The best tactical advantage would not to be engaging people in the first place. Since you are wasting bullets on people you're not even going to loot (I assume this is the case), then what is the overall point of the exercise?

There's Bandits, and then there's death matching little pricks who are bored of COD.

I imagine waiting to loot someone who's been scavenging all the essentials is a highly efficient gearing up method, there's nothing wrong with that.

Legit bandits are ok in my book, but I have run into a lot of the alt+f4 fanny bollocks. Some even try and log back in further up the hill to get the drop. But "I ain't 'fraid of no ghost!" ^_^

[Osaka (DayZ) 32]

There is a difference between a bandit and a murderer.

Killing unarmed spawns is for overpowered asshole weaklings, who won't dare to take on people who can actually retaliate with a weapon other than a flashlight.

Yeah, it's tactical trolling.Trolling people who does not pose a threat to you from a distance. :D The only reason to snipe otherwise is to protect your team of incoming threats, or threats moving towars the location you're going. Are you doing that? Yes? Good! No? You're a troll!

exactly.. this guy gets it, but sadly VERY few others do..

I am sorry but all of the new maps are built for PvP. Why would they have all of those military spawns if it was not meant for easy access to good gear, unless you think zombies require high tier weapons.

Find a private hive that puts an emphasis on PvE, I have joined a few lately that will kick people for griefing and killing new spawns (make sure it is a non vilayer server though, when people can server hop they will do this and shoot people regardless of the rules). While the one I play is definitely bandit friendly, they are not tolerant of new spawn snipers.
