zombielad 0 Posted October 27, 2012 so I was just chillin in the woods taking my time scanning the area being careful and stuff until the woods opened up to a wide clearing I was feeling reckless so i decided to quickly move through it, anyway as I was crossing I noticed another player, this was the first time I had seen another player aside from playing with one of my friends from school, the player was lying flat, but since i had never seen another dead player in the game I couldn't tell if he was dead or prone, I eventually decided he was dead after I observed him for a few minutes and he didn't move at all, so i advanced towards him and was just about to search him when his head shot up staring straight at me, after reading about how you can't trust anyone in dayZ i instinctly shot him in the face, he died, but the thing is, he had a normal/survivor skin on but a bandit balaclava, was he a bandit or did I just kill an innocent man?

enforcer1975 1111 Posted October 27, 2012 Looks like he played dead and tried to bait you. His fault for not reacting "normal"... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sibexus 26 Posted October 27, 2012 Sounds like he picked a bad spot for a nap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pEar (DayZ) 26 Posted October 27, 2012 If he had the bandit balaclava, then you're fine. It was most likely a bandit laying there to ambush you and steal your beans, so you did the right thing. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sula 1205 Posted October 27, 2012 Well, it's a matter of opinion. You could have just walked on by, or told him not to move, that you had a gun on him but that you were friendly and didn't want to shoot but you would if he moved. Then you could have questioned him. You chose to shoot and it is understandable why - instinct - a reaction to a new threat. But you always have a choice. If you keep on making that same choice, you'll end up with a bandit skin. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dallas 5195 Posted October 27, 2012 You shot someone for looking at you, sounds like preemptive self defense.Did you also loot his corpse in self defense? :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliverdesousa@hotmail.com 35 Posted October 27, 2012 If you saw a tea towel on his head you made the right choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xucphra 453 Posted October 27, 2012 Dead man comes to life when I get close? That would scare the piss out of me... anybody would shoot at that point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ast65 11 Posted October 27, 2012 he was probably just afk, taking a leak or soand as long you only shoot bandits you won´t become one yourself :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Serious Stan 202 Posted October 27, 2012 Look in your debug monitor, it says if you killed a bandit or not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
striker3800@gmail.com 0 Posted October 28, 2012 That's nothing. I do not consider this a bad thing, if he was sittin' in a field, and got killed, you taught him a lesson. You actually taught him a lesson he'll need later! Nice!I once ran up to someone, while yelling, "FriendlyFriendlyFriendlyFriendly!" in Direct Chat, then fired a clip into his head point blank.

BSB Jimmy 360 Posted October 28, 2012 anyone who shoots on sight is a douche but if he had a gun and lked at you then its kill or be killed sometimes, also just because they have a bandit skin doesnt mean theyll kill you, they could have killed someone to save a friend 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicegamer101 5 Posted October 29, 2012 If he was a REAL survivor, he would've probably panicked and scream "FRIENDLY, FRIENDLY!" or something like that. If he doesen't say anything, it's his own fault. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enforcer1975 1111 Posted October 29, 2012 "Friendly" is overused imo...Like when they didn't attack vehicles marked with the red cross because they transported wounded until they found out people actually moved military stuff "under camoflage". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
