First bandit kill

[scarletvw 6]

So last night while playing on a new server, because I the one I had been frequenting seemed to be having issues, I decieded to go to Balota AF. I came around the back side from the north because I always hate going through the strip first. I spotted movement from the top of the tower, immediatly I dropped and zoomed in, I couldn't see well through a pine tree so I repositioned.

Low and behold I see the boots of a sniper. Knowing that he's not being a friendly face up there with a rifle I start slowly making my way up to the tower through the fence. I looted the bottom floors hoping for something to help me combat my first living prey but alas only flares. I thought about throwing a flare out on the strip to catch the attention of the sniper but at the same time I didn't want to give away the fact that I was there. I slowly made my way up, at the top I looted the last stuff and heard steps. Another player up the stairs! He called friendly over direct and that tipped off the sniper. He jumped off of the roof and I lost where he went.

I checked around and didn't see him so I started sneaking around looking for him. I'm not sure what the gun was called but it was part of the spawn package, 8 shot semi-auto shotgun. I went out the door slowly and came around the corner to the right. At that moment I was staring at the barrel of a gun, shots rang out. Not mine, I froze, I got hit and things went fuzzy, I was fading fast. Lucky for me I was not dead though but clinging to life for a few moments. I unloaded, my initial fears gone and now my ammo also, my gun empty and his also. We were both spent and then things went dark. I was dead, but so was he, my mission was complete, that bandit would not bother anyone for a while.

But my deed was not over, now that he was dead, I wanted his loot also. I spawned 2500 kilometers away and went into a immediate dash back to the airport. I didn't actually think that the loot would still be there so I looted the hangers first. Nothing of real mention besides 5 1911 clips. I made my way towards the tower and heard flies. I got to the top and low and behold 4 bodies greeted me. My friendly companion, someone else, my own body, and the bandit. There was nothing of mention on the first 2 bodies or my own. But on the bandit was a M41A and a belt fed machine gun, I forget which one it was but he had 2 cans of ammo for it on him and there was one more on the floor!

I quickly snatched up my new machine gun and prepared to call it quits for the night. My goal accomplished and a new treat to try out on another day.
