A manic 45 minutes...My Story

[hozzdutch 49]

I was logged in yesterday with my brother and had the most 'intense' 45 minutes in the game I've experienced yet. Thought I'd share with the world.

 

We was heading west towards the NWAF as I had recently been killed and needed some new gear. We got as far as Grishino and the server restarted.

After logging back in again, i was a mad run to get there ASAP as we knew that after a restart, it'd be a hotbed of activity (even for a mildly quiet server).

We had searched the hangers, firestation and ATC tower and was in the admin building just behind the firestation in the upstairs room.

As a precaution, we always close doors behind us so other people (hopefully) aren't as cautious as they could be if they thought someone else was there.

We'd already been at the airfield a good 10-15 minutes and hadn't seen anyone, we was sure it was a matter of time. I was looking out the western facing windows, he was at the north facing window behind the bunk when he turned around..

'ROB, ROB, ROB, ROB, ROB,' he shouts.

'What?' i ask still looking out the window.

'Did you open the door?'

'No...'

I turn around and the second i face the door, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM. I'm dead.

The guy walks in to loot my body but didn't think to check where my bro was standing - he was then shot.

Before I respawn, I hear the guy talking over open mic in a diff langauge...he must have a friend nearby.

 

I respawn just outside Solnichniy and ask my bro (Steve) to guard the loot as I'm coming back.

He shuts the door and makes himself comfortable for the 15-20 minute wait.

He's nervous, he knows someone is around.

5 minutes later, they have a gun fight up the staircase and despite around 10 shots each, both fail to kill eachother.

'Shit!' he says, 'he's here, we've shot at eachother and we're both still alive. I'm nervous! I don't wanna be here! my legs are wobbly, my hands are shaking! My heart is pounding! Hurry up and get here damnit!'

I laugh at him..what else can I do?

the rest of the run is fairly uneventful despite my brothers panic.

I approach the admin building through the trees and peek around the wall...the same guy is there, camping the door waiting for my bro to come out.

I only have an axe, there's no way i could sprint over to him and smack him without being killed again. By bro decides to come out and get him.

'Wait! he's walking north into the workyard' I tell him, the guy's walked off, maybe from being worried about being out in the open. Mr bro sights him in and gets a few pot shots at him. He runs behind the storage containers in the yard north of the admin building.

I run in and loot all the usable gear, thankfully that includes some weapons and ammo.

Steve and the guy are taking pot shots at each other, so I head out the building and run around the fence of the courtyard area to flank him. Just as I enter the courtyard, Steve gets in a lucky shot and shoots the guy in the face.

I find him, loot him and just in case he's not dead, shoot him in the head a couple more times...you can't be too careful.

Sighs of relief all round, we sort through the rest of the loot and plan our next step. He moves downstairs of the admin building and another guy opens the door.

'SHIT!!! There's another guy here! ROB, ROB, ROB, ROB, ROB!!!!!'

Again both unload a clip each and apparently hit air. Steve retreats behind under the stairs

I'm at the top of stairs, a fully loaded SKS in hand and see the other guy slowly walking around the stairs. He knows where Steve is and is switching weapons. He's fully concentrating on Steve...he doesn't look upstairs to see me. A few SKS rounds to his head...he's dead.

I come downstairs and close the outside door again while Steve sorts through our newest loot delivery. We've learnt from my death upstairs. I'm crouched in the corner sights on the entrance, just in case.

A few minutes later the door opens and yet another person is out there crouched..possibly expecting trouble.

Don't think he expected me to have him in my sights already. BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM, BLAM. The poor guy didn't even get off a single shot. More loot!

I didn't have a chance to tell poor Steve what was happening, he was round the corner and couldn't see.

'SHIT! Who's shooting! WHO'S SHOOTING! WHERE, WHERE!'

His nerves are already wrecked from guarding the upstairs room for 20 minutes.

That was the last guy we saw. We decided at that point to split and go for a much needed cuppa tea.

 

Damn this game keeps you edge.

 

Morals of the story -

 

- When working with someone else, always have someone keep watch while the other person loots.

- Never expect someone to be by themselves.

- Always be wary of blindspots.

- Never let your guard down when entering a building with a closed door!

Everytime I play late into the night, I can't sleep because of the adrenaline.

 

And my girlfriend is constantly telling me to stop shouting.

 

Love the intensity.

[blissfulkunt 196]

Yeah I shut down the game early, at least an hour before bed. The adrenaline you get completely makes you wired... good story. beans.

Always nice to read a good action report.

Not much beats a break from work, reading stuff like this. Thanks!
