First Stalk

[ChaoticRambo 4]

Well, I have moved from the survivor camp to the bandit camp recently with my first hunt. (its so much more fun to hunt things that think and can shoot back)

So I happened to be on a server with server wide chat enabled. I had just recently raided a bunch of buildings in Cherno and gotten a full kit together plus a Lee Enfield. I was just starting to head north for tree-stand raiding when I noticed I was seeing some chat about a group of three people trying to meet up. Lucky for me, one guy they were guiding didn't have a map, and they were having to talk him over to their location.

I realized they were just north of me using the power lines to navigate. I figured I could possibly set up an ambush for the person they were guiding down from the north to the south. Well as I got to the power lines and definitely figured out my location, I was saddened by finding out the group had met up. I missed my ambush! This is about 45 minutes into my hunt from first deciding to do this.

Now the group decides they are going to a town to the north west following the power lines. I realize they are going to pass right by me as I am between them and the town they are going to. I set up in the tree line uphill of the power lines with good line of site but not to far since I didn't have a scope. My only question is if they will be smart and follow the power lines in the tree line, or be dumb and directly follow the lines in the open. Sure enough, three survivors start running down right under the power lines with wide open fields to either side.

I watch as the come closer and figure out which will be the first to drop. I notice only one actually has a rifle, he has been evidently the group leader through all of this. I wait until they have passed me so I will be shooting into their backs to disorient them more. BAM group leader drops. One survivor drops into the ditch instantly and the other starts to turn and thinks the other just shot the leader. BAM he drops. The two are now talking in server wide chat about what happened and I chime in saying they shouldn't have trusted the other one (who I have yet to kill). The third survivor had dropped into a ditch just below my line of sight. I wait for a moment before deciding to flank him. Finally, BAM hes dead.

Had some nice loot, but the best reward was the hunt - and making the two honestly believe the other had turned on them.

Looking forward to future hunts, and trying to hunt on servers without server wide chat.
