Wallace (DayZ) 19 Posted October 29, 2012 Today I was out tent hunting and found a tent with 5 mountain dew. I'd heard about the curse but took them any way. The next tree tents I found had an FN FAL with 2 clips, a M9 SD with 1 magazine, an L85 and an AS50, plus a Tractor and tent. I thought that I had gotten the opposite effect from the curse. I drove the tractor to ,my spot I had picked out to pitch my tent. When I got there and tryed to pitch it, nothing happened. So I tried to pitch it again, same thing. I figured I had to find a different spot, so I moved around andkept trying to pitch it. Next thing I know about 12 tents pop up and I'm banned for Object access flooding. Wow. Not even 20 mins after I loot the Mountain Dew. Me and the server admin worked it out after I was able to convince him that i was honestly not using cheats. But it goes to show, the curse is real. I've still got the Dew though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gruso (DayZ) 81 Posted October 29, 2012 Perhaps the Mountain Dew is cursed. Or it could just be the items spawned in by scripters ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gooner205 10 Posted October 29, 2012 I found the dew in a body at the top of devils castle. i take it and next thing i know I have been thrown through the wall and out of the castle, sent plummeting to my appending doom Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Penny Sue 77 Posted October 29, 2012 The trick is to drink the Dew! The curse comes upon thee for hoarding them... I found a Dew in Cherno the other day. Ran to a "safe" spot and drank it. No adverse effects befell unto me. No curse here I tell you! Drink the Dew... don't "save" it or hoard them! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mediocreyeti@gmail.com 33 Posted October 29, 2012 Killing or stealing a mountain dew is a death wish. The gods understand you have stolen and you will be delt with accordingly. On the other hand in my experience finding legit mountain dew on the ground and storing it is a good luck charm. Though i have only legitly found it twice.

lilmello 1 Posted October 30, 2012 earlier today i found a mountain dew and then not 30 minutes later got killed and lost as50, l85 aws, night vision, rangefinders... you get the picture. but most importantly i lost my ghillie :( not 5 minutes later i found another ghillie suit and then i realized i was in electro and got all my weapons back! i still have the mountain dew... curse? maybe so, but what if it really makes you understand the value of you arsenal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LawsOfFire 21 Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) if you see a dew. either bring it to "NO I DONT WANT TO MENTION THAT PLACE" and place it on the top of the tower (helicopter and pro-skills needed)or just drink it as fast as you can Edited October 30, 2012 by LawsOfFire Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dreadsauce 22 Posted November 1, 2012 Once, scouring Elektro for loot after respawning, I came across a can of Dew lying by a hatchet in the middle of a house.Obviously I took it as a portent that I was to take the Dew and with it the Curse, so that I may prevent grave misfortune from falling upon others.Taking the Dew and wielding the Hatchet, I departed into Elektro and took up residence at the two-floor building by the school and supermarket. After an hour and a half of vigilantly scanning the streets from the second-floor windows there came a strapping young lad with a hatchet. After forcing him downstairs we came to an agreement that we would split the house even; I got top and he got bottom.It did not last.My homicidal tenet returned 10 minutes later, bolted up the stairs and chopped out all my blood. In my death throes, he bandaged me and proceeded to drag me whilst unconscious so that I could not move when I woke up (though given the fact that my legs were broken, I could not have moved anyways).Dragging me out back he ordered me to slay the horde of zombies that had gathered from the commotion. If I preformed admirably he would give me meat and morphine.I failed, but before I was eaten I managed to inform him of the Dew and my sovereign duty to defend it and keep the Curse in check. Understanding, he selflessly (or foolishly) pried the can of Dew from my cold, dead hands once the zombie scum had been dealt with.I can only pray that the Curse did not destroy him, as it had destroyed me, and that he did not partake of the beverage. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

#Sleepy 572 Posted November 1, 2012 I've come across dew I think 3 times, 2 of the times after living quite awhile I died right after. The other time I survived very very long (might just seem so long as I was new to the game). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
