Idiotic moments in banditry

[PhillyT 554]

So my buddy and I are making our way through Berenzino.  We are both fully geared and looking to hit the grocery stores before making our way through Dolina and Palona before moving to Elektro.  We are making our way down the main road near the lumber yard when we see an axe armed player.  We raise our guns, ordering him to the ground (we don't KOS).  He puts his hands up but doesn't go down.  He then says: "There is a player behind you."  Like rubes, we both turn, but sure enough, there is a player watching the whole thing about 30 feet away.  I order him to the ground without realizing that my buddy also was looking at him... leaving the first guy alone.  The second player breaks into a run and flees north.  We both shoot and kill him.  The first guy pulls his axe and thumps my partner.  I give chase since he then ran.  My buddy makes the crucial mistake of bandaging immediately.

 

While I pursued  him around one of the houses in the downtown but he lost me, looped around and killed my buddy.  I managed to put three M4 rounds into him before he disappeared into the houses.  My buddy respawned while I took position to watch his body while also looking for his killer.  Five minutes passed before he was back in my area.  While trying to figure out where he was, the killer suddenly appeared and in a moment of hesitation, I though for a second it was my friend, he opened up on me with my friends M4.  He struck me several times and I returned fire but I feel unconsious.  

 

I was extremely upset with how poorly we had handled the entire affair as I respawned in Solychnia and sprinted north.  My buddy, luckily, found my body and geared off my stuff but my killer was nowhere to be found.  There were several dead men, only two of whom we had killed (the one who ran and another armed player who had fired on us).  I had seen two other players while looking for the killer and let both move on with a warning about shooters in the area.  I arrived on the scene and geared off my dead friends body.  Moving around the building, I found a dead man where he had shot me from.  We had fortunately killed each other apparently!  From his position, I think he bleed out moments after killing me!  It explained why he didn't loot my body after killing me!

 

So we were pretty much the worst duo, falling for the old "Look behind you" gag, though lucky enough to get our gear back with only a few ruined magazines for our trouble. 

 

Just another day in Berenzino.

Lesson learned I hope?

 

There is no more "bambies" like in mod. In standalone there are "bambits", super fast and armed in deadly fist. They have nothing to lose and know no fear. If you don't KoS bambit when you have a chance you may regret it very bad.

I was being held up on some dirt road north out of one of the sovy's. My bandit asked me to drop my splitting axe, which I did. He asked me if I had any form of firearm, I lied and said "nope, just that axe, and my can of bear spray." He said bullshit, and to drop it on the ground asap. I complied, and dropped a crafted splint, as I had guessed most have yet to see one. He knelt down, and stared at the ground, waiting. His m4 was raised and everything, had the drop on me.

The moment I saw him look downward, I mashed my hotkey to bring my loaded magnum out, and yes, I tested to make sure it worked. Perfect top of the dome headshot. Followed by another, then another.

After it was over, I asked "you ok buddy?" He responded with what I can only describe as an angry squawk. Put one more round into his noggin to be sure, then helped myself to his beans.

Told him I'd leave the bear spray there to commemorate our time together, and scurried off.

As an fyi, I've noticed actual Bambi's pay more attention to looting, and avoiding other people. Someone walks up to you, put him down, then check the area for more.

[PhillyT 554]

Good point.  I have noticed bambis are FAR more aggressive than usual.  Case in point, we stopped at the construction site in Berenzino after the incident.  I was sorting my gear on the third floor when a bambi started punching me in the head.  I shot him with my M4, but was quite pissed off at that point.  I was really off my game today!

You, sir, deserve many beans!

[Ineedscoffee 464]

Anymore, if one approaches me, he gets one warning. He persists, well a .357 round is a good deterrent. I won't go out of my way to hunt them, but you don't turn down a free bean delivery service :p

I've never been held up.

I'm either shot before I see the dude, or I'm told to put my hands up- and I run like a Kenyan late for work.

 

It sounds fun though.

If I get killed by some douche bandits I just edit the cfg file to get all my stuff back. Pretty simple

lol I laughed out at that term - bambit ... sounds like someone shooting a gun and then running to bite you

[c1rcu1tn3rd 6]

Yep. Just keep several backup files and you'll see how they change as your character progresses. Eventually you learn which items do what.

gl with that since I could just make another account.

[Ineedscoffee 464]

Well arnt you just talented

[fitzee 248]

Hi.

 

Yep, just checked the cfg, and sure enough it lists your inventory.

 

I would guess it's just for displaying your character on start up, then when you join a server, you would get the list updated again from the hive.

 

Sure hope that isn't exploitable, or at least if it is, I hope it will get you banned FFS.

 

Regards.

Gotta wait for fix, like with deleting .pbo files.

 

And till then enjoy free m4 and ammo on start lol.

 

PS.

 

Worse that can happen is if a lot of people get to know about cfg exploit and every bambi out there will spawn with m4.
