Another funny Bandit encounter.

[strayshadow 81]

 Making Bandits shoot each other. I found this more amusing than anything else.

 

 

 I was making my way along the beach after respawning and noticed a guy with a gun chasing what appeared to be another unarmed newspawn. I decided to try and help him by beating up the guy with the rifle =D

 

Go go Justice Rangers!

 

 But as I got closer the unarmed guy spotted me and turned around... turns out they were together and he actually had a sawn-off hidden away. Undeterred by what was rapidly becoming a very terminal experience I decided to beat the snot out of them. Another one of them appeared wielding an axe and tried to have a go at me as well.

 

 Now with a shotgun, rifle and an axe swinging around I thought I was screwed but it turned out they had absolutely no idea what they were doing. After several reloads not one of them had hit me and the axe guy was bleeding! Why are Bandits usually so frigging awful?

 

 I decided to turn this against them. I ran around the guy with the shotgun in a tight circle, the axe guy trying to follow me around him in classic Benny Hill fashion, swung his axe and hit the guy with the shotgun, then the guy with the rifle fired and shot the guy with the axe dead.

 

 With one dead and one dying I went for the guy with the rifle but this time he got me.

 

 

 I spawned again only a few hundred meters away and went to have a look at the carnage and maybe recover some loot! Sneaking along beside the railway line I almost tripped over a sniper in full gear carefully overlooking the spot I had been killed at. There in the road were the bodies of the guy with the rifle and the guy with the shotgun.

 I sat and watched him until he had departed then looted what remained on the bodies. Now I had learned the sawn-off shotgun was totally hidden when stowed I took this from a body and left to go and get held up again.

 

 After passing Cherno I was attacked again, this time by a guy with a Machete. It was one of the asshats who had previously tried to mug me and as he approached spurting his stupid demands I drew the shotgun and gave him a wave.

 

 

 

 

But in typical DayZ fashion I was then shot and killed =D

 

 

 

 So really I achieved nothing but it was really funny at the time!

That is friggin hilarious!  Those are the kinds of interactions I like.  Would have been hilarious to watch from afar :)

To grief the griefers is the best you can do ^.^

Easy question!

KoS is the easyiest way to play the game. So the worst gamers wil kos.

Sorry but you ran after them, they defended themselves. You cannot hide shotguns, you just assumed he had nothing, and thought an easy target. Sorry but I would say you are a bandit. Also I wouldn't brag how you took them both out, could have been a glitch. I have had similar accounts where my fists were better than an axe and vice versa.

[strayshadow 81]

Aw Id-airgrafix that's cute. I wasn't bragging at all, just sharing a silly story (check the title). Their deaths were not due to my skill and I don't claim that, they died because they were so crap they killed each other.

 

Which is why it's funny.

 

 If you had read what I'd written you'd have discovered I gave chase to try and help another player who looked like he was getting mugged. I had just spawned and had nothing to lose.

 

 Also, the sawn-off is small enough to hide inside a backpack.

I suppose it was comical the way they took each other out, and yes i understand shotgun is small enough to fit into backpack, but i wouldnt call it "hidden" its simply stored there.

To take three guys out all with weapons and you (from what i understand) with bare fists, i find that hard to believe, unless their pc's were shit and game lagged crazily. Dont get me wrong im sure u are skilled player.

Also you called them bandits, why? You ran after them, didnt try to make communication, technically you are the bandit, dont you agree.

Also it seems like those 3 belong in elektro at full server, running around like headless chooks

Anyway it would have been good to see this in a video, with benny hill music. Cheers

Airgrafix, I'm sorry, but you've lost me. By going to try and aid someone who he thought was in trouble would not make him a bandit. He did not communicate for he was going to pursue the "mugger". And he didnt take them on with his fists. They took themselves on. He just ran around in circles basically. And you dont need to lag to be a horrid shot, some people just arent good with guns

I'm curious...what makes you think they were actually bandits? At first you thought one guy was chasing another and you went in to attack him but when it turned out they were together it was actually you attacking them and them defending themselves. :P

 

*edit* Oh, i see Airgrafix beat me to it. :)

Right because its so very necessary to defend yourself against an unarmed newspawn. This is an obvious KOS(without probable cause) attempt on the their end. Not the OP.

pls explain me how can you be "pro" and "noob" in this game ? for me you are noob maybe first 10h of playing it -.-'

[Unforeseen 24]

He didn't say you can be pro and noob at the same time...he said the worst gamers kos because its easy. Seems like a lot of folks on these forums don't know how to read or choose not to before posting.

Not sure how people are having trouble understanding this...

 

 Dude 1 - Appears to be unarmed and fleeing from Dude 2, who is armed. This on the beach which is notorious for people dubbing themselves 'bandits' camping and shooting new spawns. (I have nothing against actual Bandits!)

 

 Dude 1 actually has a Sawn-off shotgun in his backpack.

 

 When they see me they immediately decide to try and hold me up... not exactly a friendly thing to do =/ (I did not draw my fists until they started the usual 'Drop your shit' rhetoric).

 

Dude 3 arrives and brings an axe to the party.

 

 They then proceeded to kill and maim each other while I chased my tail.

 

I get killed.

 

 Then a forth player shoots anyone left alive and leaves.

 

 

I don't think KoS distinguishes 'pro' or 'n00b' just marks a lazy player.

Now thát you did not mention.. Quite essential to this story, don't you think?

Also: "I decided to beat the snot out of the"

Makes it really appear as if you are in fact the KOS bastard/bandit here, not the other way around.. 

You can't just go making up assumptions like that ;)

[strayshadow 81]

Ah! Too true!

 

I had written it in a silly tongue in cheek style, I didn't expect it to come under quite so much scrutiny =P

 

 I shall use the Harvard system in future!
