My tales of uncertainties, sniper fire and friendship in DayZ.

[Hagon94 74]

Hello, I am hagon94 and this is my Day Z story! 

I had three very interesting encounters and I was inspired to write about what happened and share my story 

with you. It may be a bit long winded but I try to make it sound interesting! I hope you will listen and enjoy 

my story. 

 

 

Episode 1: "uncertainties" 

 

After playing DayZ for a short while i was finally starting to get the hang of the game. After some ill fated 

boat exploring shenanigans and other height related incidents involving drops over 1 meters *shudder*...  Me 

and my friend was finally reasonably kitted out with some weapons we found at an airport. Up til this point we had 

seen many dead bodies and remnants of previous incidents all over the place but we haven't really had any 

actual player interaction. Except with new spawns when we ourselves were fresh spawns. We decided to go up 

into the upper left parts of the island to a big airstrip over Vybor.  

 

Upon first entering the airstrip we saw nothing initially. We had come in from an angle that made it hard to 

scout the area so we slowly creeped along the bushes into the airstrip. Then my face went bleak as my friend 

pointed out to me over skype that there were in fact a few players in full camouflage and assault weapons 

crawling through the foliage right in front of us no more than about 15 metres. They had not spotted us yet by 

the looks of things. They were so concealed that we had not discovered them until now. My heart was racing as 

i crouched along the bushes and tailed them from behind. My friend was doing the same.

We were debating how to handle the situation. They were definately better kitted out than us but we had the 

element of surprise on our side. I didn't want to make any rash decisions. For all we knew there could be more 

of them. My friend suggested that we kill them while we had the chance before they spotted us, Beeing the 

sappy "moralfag" that I am, I suggested we try to make friends with these players.

 

So I took the initiative and walked up to them where i could barely see them in the foliage. I had lowered my 

gun and put my hands in the air to signal my surrender. I spoke to them over the microphone and told them to 

not be alarmed and that I was friendly and I had company. Then they turned arround and aimed their guns at me, 

analyzing the situation. They were probably also looking arround for my friend. Behind the two players I noticed 

that my friend had taken up a crouching position behind these two players inside the foliage. He had them in 

his sight ready to shoot from even the slightest hint of agressive behaviour from these strangers. One of them 

spoke back to me and to my great relief he told me they were also friendly. I could breathe easy as they 

lowered their guns. I imagine they were quite surprised when they turned arround to see my friend right behind 

them!

 

After this we decided to team up while we searched the airport for any loot. They turned out to be very 

friendly and a great help to me and they gave me many attachments for my weapons that I sorely needed along 

with a lot of ammunition. I gave them some water in return. There were dead bodies strewn all over the 

airstrip from previous encounters that seemed to have happened recently. We stealthily moved across the 

airfield, looting the dead bodies and buildings along the way. We didn't see any sign of the killers though. I 

had to keep my friend in check from killing these players the whole time. He just wanted to shoot something 

and I dont think he trusted them very much, haha! After looting the airfield me and my friend decided to split 

up with the other two and go our own way. After a friendly goodbye we were on our way again.

 

And so ends my first tale of Day Z! I have a few others stories that I want to tell you guys if you want to me to write it.

I'm truly amazed by this game. Amongst all the bandits and bad sportsmanship there can be in this game you get 

little gems like these. A few remarkable moments where fellow players band together out of goodwill.

There is so much tact that goes into this game it's incredible.

 

I have written about the next encounter that happened directly after this. You can read it here:

I think this game has so much potential it's amazing! What a great MMO it will make in about a year from now when everything or so have been implemented
