Crawling Through the Crossfire

[NotFish 50]

This is a story of something that happened to me last night and quickly became one of the most memorable moments I've experienced in DayZ Standalone.

 

So I was looking around the hospital in Electro for some medical loot, but unfortunately it was tapped. Like an idiot I decided to run out onto the roof and look around the city, not for anything particular, but just for something interesting. My game tragically glitched and my character ended up running straight off the roof. Luckily I survived, unluckily I broke my legs. With no splint or morphine on my person, I was forced to crawl through the streets of Electro waiting for either a Zombie to come and tear me a new one, or for another Survivor to come along and either help me or kill me.

 

So I'm crawling helplessly down the middle of the street when suddenly the area around me just explodes into gunfire. I don't know if they were two groups of bandits, or a bandit group and a squad of heroes, but these two sizable squads had stumbled upon each other and begun communicating at muzzle velocity. And there I was, on my belly with broken legs, crawling through the middle of it.

 

 Eventually I made it as far as the Electro church and was considering hiding inside until this shitstorm blew over. There were players running back and forth and gunfire from just about every direction, but it seemed that no one was paying much attention to me. I was just making for the open church doors when the gunfire trailed off and, probably one of the fight's survivors ran up and put a magnum round through my skull. I'm guessing from this friendly greeting that he was on the bandit's side.

 

So thats a tale of yet another memorable DayZ moment.

 

Seems like most of my most memorable moments in this game end in my death...

There's probably some deep meaning to that. *shrug* Oh well.

I have tried this too, but without the broken leg though.

 

I played my role perfectly... I ran through the streets while screaming in fear over direct...
