ChassePatrick 0 Posted February 7, 2013 I hope the person who this involves reads this.I know I probably wont get many responses for this as it is a pretty standard event. However today I was playing as I normally do, loot survive avoid players try and fix up a car, etc. etc. As you know this can get quite boring.Anyway I did the standard thing when you have no gun and went to a barn, at this point I hear a few flies... Being dark I thought it would be safe. so I investigate.. He had an MP5 few bandages and nothing much of note... he was a bandit so I thought there might be another body nearby and I entered the building to the side. It was one of those long barns, at that moment I catch a light... Now this is where it turns around for me, I had to leave so I considered logging. But I didn't, that's when the heart started pounding... He walked RIGHT past me as I lay in the pitch black barn... I was surprised he didnt see me... I rolled closer to the body as he was checking it over. Heart was pounding, Adrenaline PUMPING. I have shot at bandits and players in return before, I have been killed. My graphics is pretty shit so i don't tend to pvp... This was different, I was the hunter, he was the prey.Now normally I would have hid somewhere, he was using a flash light, which gave me plenty of time to shoot him if he spotted me. But I took a good look at him... He had a big gun on his back... I couldn't tell at first, but it was a DMR... How did he get one of those... Then I got closer and realise he was a bandit... I immediately thought danger. What happened next was stupid, I aimed at the head with my mp5. I pulled the trigger, again and again... He was long dead. My heart was still pumping. I was shaking.It didn't last though... The gunshots were heard/seen by another player... I was shot at at least 300m by a player with a sniper. A very good shot. But wow. I thought I'd share :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hetstaine 10852 Posted February 7, 2013 Sounds like the dude had a backup plan..been caught with that trick many a time. One goes point/body searcher one sits back and covers. Good when your blood is pumping though :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DemonGroover 8836 Posted February 7, 2013 Nice. I have thought of lying next to a dead body before - the flies masking the fact that you aren't dead. It would scare the shite out of someone if you suddenly jumped up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maxgor 2314 Posted February 7, 2013 Small moments like that can really invigorate the game. I had a surprise moment like that going to Stary Sobor, I was back on public server, first I've done that in a long time, got my way to the trees above the tents, scouted out the place and saw a few zombies. I couldn't remember how far it was that zombies spawned, so even checking out everything with my CZ50, but I kept to the trees. I then move to the trees directly north of the tents and the pavement slab, when I nearly walked into a bandit. He was looking at the tents, not to his right, where I was like 20 feet away, so I just played it really safe, proned behind a a tree. He then proned up and I was able to shoot him in the back and get some supplies off him.Adrenaline was pounding, I got some ammo from the tents, and made it out of Stary on a populated server no problem. Was very happy with myself as I always seem to get ganked in DayZ lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Welch (DayZ) 756 Posted February 7, 2013 Yeah who needs exercise when they've got video games to get their cardiovascular system going! It's the future! Just make a game where your adrenaline is constantly going so you never have to go outside ever! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krihelion 175 Posted February 7, 2013 And I highly doubt you were sniped, guy was probably a hacker with an insta kill script to who ever killed him.You would of been shot right when the guy got in there, not when you finally decided to shoot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
