Big plays and Adrenaline

[nyxe2k 12]

TL;DR bottom#

So after mucking around with 3 of my friends who recently bought the games, we were on our way out of Starysobor. We decided to gut a cow so I took it out and proceeded to the treeline to cover my team, just as I sit down I hear multiple shots and Team member no 1# is down, 2# is hit too (6000 blood). Fight or flight comes into play.

I hear an AKM in the distance and from the dmg team member 2 took I know they are a great deal away or he would be 1 hit. 10 minutes pass by as we flee away from the scene and my team mates assure me "he" has looted and fled, but being the paranoid Bast**** I am, I set up flanking position around the target. My team mate will not die in vain.

I figured no Lone wolf would be dumb enough to attack 4 guys well geared especially from that distance when im sporting a m107 + guillie suit. Not to mention the other 2 guys in my team having m14's, they must have a sniper at least.

We proceed far north and crawl through the tree line, all the time my team mates doubting my choices but I assure them as I see 1 guy head out the treeline to the corpse of our buddy.

I notice its a guy with a DMR, so I know immediately theres most likely atleast 2 guys since I heard akm fire and wait. Soon after 2 more players emerge out of the treeline both with an AKM.

Having already measured the distance to the target using milldot calculations I estimate they're 400m away, I zero in and wait for them to get away from the tree line.

I decide to take the sniper first, I take the shot and the calculations were perfect, blood hit direct in center of cross-hair. The adrenaline is pumping and the second shot is fired before the first guy hit the floor, another perfect hit. By now the first guy has hit the floor and the third guy as figured out hes alone. He dashes for the tree line and I barely miss shot 3, but It's too late for him and I follow up with a 4th shot in the back.

4 shots, 3 kills. Not bad... needs work though.

We lose a new guy, they lose 3 well geared players. Still I wish I spent more time spotting our escape as a more experienced team might have won the engagement.

We aim at the corpses for a minute before I send out the worst geared of my troupe to retrieve loot. Job well done.

Adrenaline raging and we finish off the bodies and bury them. Bandits should be sure of their kill before they open, if we had the drop on them they wouldn't have been so lucky.

Pretty nice loot too, we got a DMR sniper, like 20 DMR clips which we all needed since we all have m14's, and now a DMR + m107.

All in all this was the best survivors vs bandit experience I've had on DayZ. Hope you enjoyed the read I've never written my events before. The blood was definitely flowing.

Forgot to set my stream going / recording otherwise I'd have a video. I'm wondering if anyone would be interested watching streams? A lot of DayZ is crawling the map looking for opportunities... But when they arise the content is unlike any other game.

################################

Escaping from starysobor a friend is shot,

3 of us run into the woods and flank around a few times before finding a good spot,

They lose their patience and try loot,

I take the shot... 3 kills... sick adrenaline rush.

Story has more weight to it when you're attached to your character :D.

On the downside my character is now a bandit... even though in my eyes they were all bandits since they killed my friend. Guess the server doesn't see things that way.

Nyxe,

Friendly bandit.

I'm one of the friends he mentioned, I've not really had DayZ too long and this has only been my second run at the game and it was amazing. Never in a game has my heart raced as fast as it did when we fled the scene, rushing into the tree lines. I thought for sure i was a goner; running away on only 6000 blood. Though when we made our sneaky getaway my friend gave me a blood transfusion, then it was back out to follow nyxe's wishes of flanking and waiting for them to loot the corpse that myself and and our other teammate thought had already been done, but as nyxe stated he is the most paranoid bastard I know we went down the hill and sat in some trees/shrubs and then he spotted them and laid waste while me and our other teammate applauded him.

Was easily the most fun I've had in the game and certainly made me want to keep playing, DayZ is fantastic.

Good story. Things like that makes DayZ expirience so exciting and fresh :)

I know how you guys feel!

Isn't the rush amazing when you actually play it as intended and not have to deal with pussy disconnectors? :P

[nyxe2k 12]

Yea, I once saw a guy like 700m away on the hill before I learnt to judge distances, and he was laid down with an anti-material sniper... shot 2 shots with my m24, hit him once and he disconnected -.-.

Luckily I'm using m107 now, 1 hit kill xD.

I'm glad that death is such a punishing factor in this game, it makes PvP so much better. Even if I don't really want to lose my stuff ;P.

The best thing about our experience is we chose to go back, we could have cut our losses and got out of there (even disconnected). But instead we faced them, the hunters became the hunted.

What a rush though, you know how bad it is when you shoot one guy... nevermind 3 in a row. If i messed up the distance calculations I wouldn't have hit the first guy and it could have been devastating for us xD.

Yep. Just don't get too attached to things in the process. It makes you all geared up but alone. I'm happy as long as i have some gun and ammo.
