Highway banditry?

[wooplin 4]

Is that a thing in this game? I shoved my backpack full of meat, beans, water, and soda. And what better way to start down the way of the bandit than a good old fashioned stake out on a well traveled road. Now I'm guessing there are no people running in the middle of the road, so vehicles are what I am looking for.

Are there any oft traveled roads?

Or would I become bored out of my mind waiting in a bush for someone riding a bicycle to pass by?

I wouldn't sit by a road because that would get very boring fast. The better places to wait are the places with military loot such as Stary or NW af.

It's worked for me. In eastern Panthera, I jumped in front of an approaching car, guy stopped, I aimed a gun right at his head and held him up for a bandage. Lol, it was great.

"SIR, HOLD UP. I SAID STOP, GIVE ME A BANDAGE BITCH!"

I can only imagine how devastated he was to lose such a priceless object =3

Some of the newer maps (AKA not Chernarus, Lingor or Namalsk) I find are allot more vehicle friendly with freeways and allot of large, paved roads. Most servers I have been on usually have a drastically increased number of vehicles so staking out at a choke point (like the bridge on Taviana) a vehicle will eventually approach wanting to get through this choke point. It may take anywhere from 2 mins to upwards of an hour, but it can be done and I have done it to great effect.

Another good way of getting vehicles or just stopping people to rob them (vehicle or not) is to use a baiting technique. Sometimes a broken down old gaz with a missing wheel conveniently placed in the middle of the road is just too tempting for other vehicle owning survivors and they stop, get out and walk over to the gaz to check the inventory. Or if you have no vehicle to bait with you can use dead bodies, map markers, flares or even just a very visible and bright pile of loots (has to be bright and obvious as to be easily seen by a passing car or survivor). Once target has taken the bait, use your tiger ninja powers and shoot his leggies out. Yay! You get a car and a whole bunch of "please don't kill me" whines.
