Do you need a drink?

[Monkfish (DayZ) 339]

After a recent zombie-induced death, I was near to Solnichniy and making my way South to meet up with a friend. Not not after spawning I'd encountered a zombie that made me bleed but had managed to get away from it. Running down the road I encounter two gentlemen coming the other way, both wearing combat gear and gasmasks. One of them asked if I needed any drink and I didn't answer. One of them started putting handcuffs on me whilst the other bandaged me up. Most strange. One then force fed me what I assume was rotten fruit and the other made me drink disinfectant.

Awesome.

They then released me, laughing hysterically, and ran off. Given I had a signed death warrant, I pursued them. They didn't realise I was following and soon spotted someone else to torment. Whilst they were doing this, I crouched behind one of them and force fed them an alcoholic tincture I had previously found (I don't know what that does but figured I'd force one of them to drink it anyway) before opening up the other's inventory and taking out the M4A1 they had. Not having time to aim properly, I pulled the trigger.

BANG! click click click. BOLLOCKS! It either only had one round in it or jammed. I'm not sure if I hit one of them with the single shot I fired, I didn't have time to see as I quickly caught a 7.62 round from a Mosin using my head at point blank range.

I respawned, this time a little South of Berezino. I was determined to find some weapons and put an end to their bandity ways. I entered the town and quickly found a few zombies. The first one I managed to run away from but in doing so, had found another. This one managed to hit me a few times and make me bleed so I beat a hasty retreat around some buildings and finally lost the Zed. I entered a small block of flats and went up to the top floor, luckily found a t-shirt and made some rags to bandage myself. Crouching, I explored the top floor a little and then decided to take a look out of the balcony to see what was about in the town.

Unfortunately, I didn't press C to stand up and instead pressed V. I then had a forced first person view as I climbed over the balcony and fell to my death.

I guess the Banditbashing will have a wait a little longer.  :lol:

Since when u can forcefeed people that aren't handcuffed or go through their backpacks?

[InflatedLyric 39]

I have an extra M4 and plenty of rounds.  Unfortunately, I don't really have time to deliver them.  I'm sitting somewhere north of cherno/balota.  I was trying to run east without going straight through that madness to find some random to give some equipment I have stocked to.  Not the M4 though, I am not that kind of brave.

*shrug*

 

I had a message pop up on screen telling me that I was performing an action on someone so I assume it was doing it. I was most definitely able to go through their backpack because I took their weapon off them and fired it.

you can forcefeed none handcuffed people, they only have to stay still while doing it.

Normally you cant go though peoples backpack when they are not handcuffed/unconcious though. maybe a bug cause the guy restrained him before...?

• You can't loot from conscious unrestrained people last I checked

You get a message when being force fed, was the guy blind?

M4s don't go in backpacks.

[Ynneead 20]

this is obviously fake you cannot look through peoples backpacks first off. Second the messages tell you when you have been force fed so they would notice. Even if you could magically go through someones backpack they would see their weapon disappear from their bar. Also when you equip the m4 they would hear you loading the gun.

 

 

So much fake in this story

 

also long rifles don't fit in backpacks

The rifle was in their inventory and therefore slung over their shoulder. I was able to take it and use it. I could also see the contents of their backpack.

Whether this should have happened or not I have no idea, but I can assure you that it did and can only assume that if it shouldn't have happened I found a bug and was able to exploit it. Perhaps two friendly players could experiment with this to confirm if it's a bug?

EDIT: Furthermore, if this was a fake story, do you not think it would have ended better for me? You know, rather than firing off a single shot and not being sure if it hit anyone before having my head blown off, I'd have stolen their gun, killed them both with it and took their loot whilst teabagging them as a group of newspawns gathered around and chanted my name?
