My First Time in Cherno

[BulletsBeansAndBrokenBones 12]

Hey, fellow survivors. I want to share an encounter that occurred around a week ago. Just to clarify, I am new to DayZ SA. I played the mod a lot a long time ago, and a friend told me to buy SA (best decision I've made in a while).

 

I was looting a school building of some sort in Chernogorsk. I hadn't seen anyone before, so I figured I was relatively safe. After finding some food and a splitting axe, I climbed to the roof of the building to get a better view of my surroundings. Bad idea.

 

I heard a single gunshot, the bullet whizzing right by my head. I got down, hoping the sniper couldn't see me. After more gunshots, I noticed the ol' red Kool-Aid spewing out of my chest. Shit. I panicked, not knowing what to do. I had no medical equipment other than rags, but using them would mean going from prone to crouch and being an easy shot. I figured I was going to die and lose the little gear I had, and then I heard the call of a man with the voice of a thousand angels say, "Hey man, are you alright up there?" I quickly called back, "No, man. I'm bleeding heavily and I need some medical attention."

 

I had a chance of survival! He told me, "You need to come down into the building. Meet me there." I looked towards the ladder down to the building, it seemed my chances of getting down without getting shot again were close to zero. I noticed all color was fading from view and chose to take the chance. I stood up and ran to the ladder, praying that the predator had shitty aim. More bullets skimmed by, none of them hitting their mark. Thank god for his aim. I got down the ladder and ran in the building. I saw my knight in shining cargo pants, who was patiently awaiting my arrival. "Glad to meet you, stranger. Now, stand still or I'll finish what that sniper started," he said. Of course I followed his order, and he patched me up. I thanked him, and he gave me some food, a loaded pistol, and some medical supplies. I was surprised anyone in DayZ was this generous, as my experiences in the mod taught me not to trust anyone until I was completely sure they were on my side. As he ran down the stairs and out of the building, he yelled out the last words I would ever hear him say:

 

"Good luck, stranger! I'm off to kill that bitch!"

 

 

 

This epic tale has changed my view of DayZ completely. I learned that not everybody is an asshole. If I ever see someone in need of help, I'll definitely help them and I'll think of this guy while I do it. Feel free to share some of your stories if you want. I hope you enjoyed reading mine.

Well said.

I've been both the executioner and the good guy in this story. Depends on the mood i'm in and whether I identify you as truly new and in need of help, or just another nerdy sonofabitch looking for a weakness. Even as a bandit, i'll usually (not always. if they have something I want, they get murdered) pay forward a good deed by someone and have their back, even if it means getting shot. I'll usually stick it out until I know the person who did me a favor is relatively safe enough on their own.

 

There are straight up good guys, but don't forget that there are also halfway decent bandits out there too sometimes (if you aren't getting shot at by them anyway) :)

Nice story

Being a good guy is far more rewarding but many easily slip into KOS ing

Whenever you see someone who hasn't seen you and you think about killing them..... Just remember what happened with this guy and resist pulling the trigger

Anyone can kill in dayz, not everyone can save a life

Great story, mate.  Did you end up finding that sniper?

Good stuff.  I heard Cherno isn't the nicest of places.  Me being a newb, I tend to stay away from there.  It's good to know there are good people out there.  Quick question though, you mentioned he asked you initially "Hey man are you alright up there?" was that through your headset.  Because I have a headset but I lost the piece where you talk into, therefore, I can't talk, but if I had them on would I at least be able to hear people talking over the mic?

No. I think that my hero killed him, but I never saw/heard it.

Yeah, I heard him through my headset. And to answer your question about your broken headset, as long as you can hear sound through them, you should be able to hear other people.

Awsome Story tho^^

 

I wish a were there :D it realy Shows you, that not ANYTHING want's to kill you^^

[aLucard® 7]

id never kos a guy with a axe...its just not...sport xD

 

if the guy had a rifle id look at him as a treath and take the shot xD

 

tbh most of my time in cherno is me finding snipers on the hills and hunting them down xD

Avoid all rooftops unless you have cover fire and can hold the position until support arrives. When we want to lockdown the city we grab every vantage point in the area to see all movement 360 coming into the surrounding area.

Great story man!

[escobert 112]

haha that was an awesome story. I've helped a couple people with water or some medical supplies but for the most part I'm far too weary of being shot myself to stick around when I see anyone.

Great story, certainly one that restores a little faith in DayZ humanity. 

 

I got on to DayZ by watching vidoes on YouTube by FRANKIEonPCin1080p and he did this sort of stuff; helps out new players and goes after their attackers.

Thank you.
