What Have you Done to Survive?

[Death_Dealer 3155]

I climbed up a ladder with one of my friends (We were being trapped by zombies. Trust me... There was no way out). I shot him in the leg with my last bullet of my AK74 to distract the zombies. Sadly, karma caught up to me. And we both died. We had a great laugh.

Ha, you pulled a Shane.

I shoot my friend because I get mad at him for either crashing our vehicles or betraying me in a different game :P

I won't hesitate to hold him at gunpoint to take a can of beans.

I can't wait until cannibalism in standalone > :D

I got pinned down in a tent in stary with a friend. The attacker killed my friend immediately and injured me pretty well. I managed to bandage up, but my blood was already blinking and screen was pretty white.

I laid there for a few minutes, knowing the guy has to be out there somewhere. When he showed his face in front of the tent, I unloaded my g17 clip into his chest. I didn't have any other weapon at that moment. It seemed to have worked, as he didn't come back. After about 10 more minutes and passing out 2x I decided that waiting for my friend to come back to stary is too long, so I tried to get to the supermarket. It took me about 10-15 minutes, crawling through stary on my belly, passing out several times on my way before i finally reached the supermarket, to find enough cans there to feed me back to color-vision.

crawling through stary with almost no vision is intense.

Spotted 2 players running.

Disarmed them. Made them drop everything.

Broke there legs, made 'em pass out, blood bagged them.

Trapped them in a wirefencing pen.

Stole some food out of a tent that was way up north. Short while later some guy is screaming about it in side chat saying he was about to starve to death and someone had taken his last can of sardines. His death spam came up in chat about a minute later.

Spawned in kamemi, went to the airfield no planes or helis. So with 2 clips in my enfield and supplies for the cold i swam to salvation city.

Never betrayed someone I team up with, that's just being a dick.

Personally the best thing that works when it comes to surviving is to either kill or be killed. I've tried the whole "be friendly, help others" thing but that doesn't always work well. One example would be when my buddy and I were trying to hook up a new spawn with some food and supplies when all of a sudden he accidentally presses his talk key while he was telling his friend (most likely in Skype) where we were, what we had, presumably so his friend could come and take our gear. Another example and this has happened multiple times would be running into someone who claims to be friendly only to have them try to kill me (and fail badly) after a few moments. After that I just pretty much kill anyone that could pose even the slightest threat to me. Humanity is somewhere around -50,000.

One funny story about trying to survive would be when me and four other people were stuck on the roof of the fire station in Cherno with at least 50+ zombies outside... let's just say I finally found a use for the grenade ;)

started a massive rivalry with a nasty clan... didnt go well but heres the story.

running through cherno and spot a group of 3 on the massive sniping tower thingy, i did the friendly sign and hoped for the best as they had me in clear sights. As luck has it, the 'bambits' took a pot-shot with a SVU and missed by 5 metres on a still figure (me). i ran behind a wall and plopped a desperate blindfire with my M9. amazingly i killed the SVU guy and his friends were awestruck. i kept shooting my last mag and ran into the pub in the middle of cherno, with another lucky stroke, i found a winchester with two rounds. i snuck up behind then and took out the guy looting his buddies corpse (BOOM!!!, headshot) i ran away as the last man standing let off two mags of his Kobra. soon after checking i was gone (which i definitely wasnt, i wanted my revenge) he climbed back down and ran into the warehouse with the blue double doors and locks himself in. as i expected, he got bored and came back out cautiosly. he had his attention diverted to the industrial area. BIG MISTAKE!!. he didnt see me treading water watching him from the docks, i quickly pulled my winnie back out and approached him.

I told him to drop his gun and if he even looked like he was turning i would shoot. he complied and layed down his weapons and backpack. "run" i said trying to sound like a badass and was scandalized as tipped forward and set full pelt to the trees......... then i shot him in the back.
