Nails 150 Posted February 6, 2014 Hi, somewhat new player here (no mod experience). Just wanted to tell a pointless story. Logged on today and fairly quickly found an SKS on the ship at Rify. My friend and I have both been sticking to the player-less void in the north and wanted some interaction. We decided that heading south from Berezino along the coast would be the best way to meet some people. So we head down meeting mostly ungeared fresh spawns who are reluctant to speak to us, and we are reluctant to waste ammo on. We finally make our way to the factory/industrial area just north of Solnichniy. Nothing out of the ordinary: everything looted and nobody around. No snipers at the factory. We climb the hill to make sure no snipers are camping the quarry and find nothing. We both have a quick discussion about what to do next. Do we take the long trek to Elektro to probably die? (Which both of us sadly did the night before) Or do we head back north to see if any geared players are in Berezino? We choose north. Almost immediately after coming down off the quarry hill we cross the road along the tree line and we spot a geared player running down the train tracks. He is in full camo holding a mosin. We both take positions in tree cover and go prone. As we do this (I can only assume) he see us and sprints for cover in some pine trees along the train tracks. What seems like forever passes as we keep our gaze at his position. Eventually I tell my friend to stay where he is and cover and I move in to confirm his location. I move from bush to bush to fence to fence thinking I am a ninja and eventually get to his last known position: nobody there? "Logged" I thought??? It had been way more than 30 seconds since we saw him so he could have feasibly logged out. So instead of sitting around waiting for someone to get the drop on us while we have our thumbs up our you know what, we decide to start moving north again. About 50 meters once we pass the factory on the tree line we hear to loud and distinct noise of a gun reloading in our headsets. I rotate my view behind me to see the same guy, same cammo, same mosin, same everything logging back into the game on the north side of the wall of the factory. Of course we immediately go prone and take cover. He hasn't seen us... My friend, holding a mosin with PU scope, gets up and goes up the hill to provide visual support. I am about 100 meters from the north side of wall hiding in a bush. The enemy in question puts his weapon on his back and puts his fists up to sprint. He starts heading north (I assume he thinks we are still camping him to the south). My friend tells me his location and that is when it happens: I combat roll out of the bush and BAM headshot him from about 25 meters as he is unknowingly sprinting right towards me. He falls to the ground. We rejoice over VOIP. Survey the area, then partake in the goodies on his corpse. Great day! Sorry if this sounds like a bandit story. This is really my first victory in this game. All of my other kills have come from people who were as afraid of me as I was of them and I came out with the upper hand, or people who happened to log in next to me while I was at the airfields. Other than that I have been murdered countless times by people I never saw. I know this is a long winded story that might not have much to do about the SKS, but it's the first time I felt like I was no longer a noob. Only took 70 hours of play time lol.

real meatshield 424 Posted February 6, 2014 i died on the hospital roof in elektro. got a sweet elektro spawn. 5 minute run, got back to the hospital... and looted the corpse of the poor fucker that tried to go after MY corpse- despite my crew in the building. was climbing the ladder to the hospiral roof when they killed him. 30 sec later i was regeared with his gear, and a pristine sks+pu scope. not 10 minutes later, some freshspawn all in black tries to hide in a shed behind the 2 story red house below sniper hill...1 shot to the dome and it was GG. I lol'd. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nails 150 Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks! I hope this is the first of many to come. For a bit there I was starting to feel like I wasn't going to be able to survive in the harsh world of DayZ. Now I know at least I might have a chance lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AdVentHeRpDeRp 5 Posted February 6, 2014 Not necessarily my first kill with the SKS, but still a great story in my opinion. Was sitting on what we call "sniper hill" over looking Elektro when a fresh spawn starts running from the East into the city. I spot him and call out the position to my crew in case he escaped my sights. We hadn't seen movement in awhile so despite my sympathy for him being a fresh spawn, my itchy finger took over. I aimed down the scope and fired. First shot was a miss, so I led him a little bit and fired right through a gap in the trees. I lost him as he ran past a house. He popped back up on the other side jogging slowly with blood gushing from his side. There was one problem, he was still running! I zeroed in and fired again. He yelped in pain as I hit my mark. I see him fall on his face, but wait. He is sliding across the road on his belly like a penguin for a good 50 feet. I lose him as he slides in front of a strip of buildings. So I yell at my crew that he is on the move and they need to put him down. They spot him from the roof of the Hospital and I begin to hear a thunderous roar from an SKS and an M4. This goes on for a good 10 seconds as I hear them screaming in my ear that they hit him but he wont go down. Finally, silence reaches my ears and I hear one of my crew confirm the kill. Moral of the story, dont think he is dead until his body vanishes. For you victims, just keep running. You never no how many bullets you may be able to take! haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nails 150 Posted February 6, 2014 True. I think I need a few more in game friends before I have the courage to journey back in Elektro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
