Axe Murderin'

[Rudette 435]

So, as I've stated before elsewhere, I'm not really glue'd to any particular playstyle. BUT.... There is one play-style I indulge more than others. Axe Murdering!

A long standing tradition! There is something invigorating about it yes? ... You usually don't just kill your opponent. You screw with their heads first. Nothing beats tracking a target for miles, waiting for him or her to present their vulnerable backside, or get stuck in a bean-eating animation. .. Like when someone goes into an apartment building, never knowing they were being tracked, only to come back down the stairs to see you standing between them and last flight down----A monolithic maniac in clown mask that had seemingly manifested out of thin air. You lunge forward, laughing in proxy a soul siphoning reverberation of the sick anticipation and newly found satisfaction in your macabre indulgence.

Anyone have interesting Axe Murderer stories or tactics to share?

It's a cool play style because you can put so much into it to make it good. The outfit, the stalking, the dialogue (if you choose to be a speaking axe murderer), and any way you can think of to instill terror.

 

EDIT: And if you do it on Green Mountain you continue a legacy.

Yus! I prefer the payday masks myself >.> Particularly the Dallas Mask + Red Canvas pants. And if you're lucky enough, the 'Red Punk' boots. They match up quite nicely.
And the burlap sack is awesome too. You can wear that with any old beat up pair of jeans! Go for more of the crazy redneck look, and adjust dialogue accordingly. Hope they allow us to cut holes in it at some point.

Speaking of which, the dialogue is probably the most fun part.

Axe in the hand equals 2 in the head to me. Haven't stalked anyone with an axe yet. It is on my must do list for sure!

[Rudette 435]

Today I went into Cherno to mouse over and see if I could garner any loot, armed only with a trusty hachet!

That beautiful and distinct sound of our new toy, the SKS, cuts through the previously silent ambiance, adrenal high ensues. Shot after shot reigns down--I must have dodged at least six shots bobbing a weaving in and out of houses. All the firearms were gone, but I did manage to scrounge up some ammo and enough food to start heading north.  I had pushed my luck already, and it was time to move on.

I decided to make a detour first though, and travelled along the coast to get away from all the sniper action before heading north. I pass a bush and M4 fire whizzes by, I dodge and weave and break line of sight, I double back around and start following the guy who had ambushed me. ... Oh how invigorating it was make hunted of the hunter! I watched and waited. Bided my time until, predictable as he proved to be, squats into another bush.

I sneak up behind him, laugh a maniacal debauched laugh, letting him know just how....enthusiastic I am about my work. By the time he stands he's already dead. My prey lies face down. .... I salvage the bits of gear I find to my liking... I toss the rest in the road for passers by to discover later. Good deed of the day. M4? I had no need. I rehydrate (Thanks for the canteen deadman) and headed for the tree line and continued my quest to find a Mosin or SKS.

I like you. Not to the point of being gay, but close.

 

Very close.

My axe story- I shared this before some where, but F, Ill share it again because I love it.

 

Was in Berezino with nothing but an axe. I was trying to find food and suddenly I see a very well geared player run to the store- what was always off about it is that he had this distinct gallop and I dont know why, but it kind of angered me, like "WTF IS THIS GUY DOING?" kind of angry.

 

I tracked him and saw that he was in the back of the store- I bumrushed the back entrance, saw him standing in the corner and started whacking him over the head with my axe. In 2 hits, he went down, but this mf'er kept standing up! WTH! So I kept hitting him and it honestly looked like he was trying to take out his rifle. Not sure if he was dead or what- but I kept hitting- maybe 5 or 7 hits? Then finally he fell down and I collected.

 

All pristine parts m4, 400+ ammo, so much food it was ridiculous.

 

I dont mind dying. Its part of the game.But dying and losing cold blooded murder inventory [insert tear here].

[Rudette 435]

So beautiful.

*snifflez*

Axe murderers are such majestic creatures!

[pillock 850]

Lounging in the flat above a cafe in Berezino earlier, minding my own business, eating me lunch.

 

Suddenly there's footsteps on the stairs, and I look round in time to see a man running at me through the doorway: black jacket, black jeans, black boots, black beanie, black glasses, black splitter-axe.

 

Managed to make it out of the building after getting clobbered once, my vision now fading. I wasn't going to out run him or have time to bandage myself, so I drew out my own axe and turned to face him. I swung and missed, he swung and didn't.

 

Which one of you bastards was it?

Not I. It was the one armed man!

No... no.. >.> I guess that's a moniker more apt for yourself now after your...encounter.

I prefer to run around Electro blasting Marilyn Manson. It can be pretty fun.

You look positively insane.
