execpro22 128 Posted March 17, 2014 And do you ever rob people in-game, in the way I think of banditry? Or do you shoot first, and maybe take their stuff later? I mostly KOS, but if I cant see a weapon on them and they dont look geared up I will attempt to rob them...Although I ve had a couple people pull concealed weapons from thier ass before... See, I'm testing out currently how to go about playing as a bandit (gotta try different things to know what you like, right?) and although I haven't been at it for long, I'm having a hard time figuring out how you get into a firefight unless you approach a person or persons openly, out of cover. Either if you try to rob someone you would want to get up from one of their dead angles and tell them to not move. Alternatively if you play as such that you shoot first and then maybe loot them, you would want to stay at a distance. Either way, I don't see how a bandit (my definition) gets into firefights. Yeah your definition its gonna be harder of course to get into a firefight, but it really depends on where you are robbing them and if they have back up... I suggest you try robbing people at Kamyshovo.. Alot of kitted players hang out there and you wouldn't beleive how many firefights I have gotten into just from being in that area... Now, if having a KoS-like playstyle I can totally see how one would get into a lot of dangerous situations. Since you'll probably take more chances to attack someone than a bandit (again my definition) would. If you're after loot, you'll choose between the people you meet and might not bother trying to rob a fresh spawn, while if you're in it for the kill thrills you'll pick a fight with more people. With how easy it is to gear up right now I really dont think anyone is really in it "for the loot" per se. i think most bandits are just trying to get some intense firefights going or some kind of intense interaction... Or sometimes its just the area you are in.... Like I said Kamyshovo or mil bases and airstrips are shoot first places for me and I'm just protecting myself mostly...

I will post here when I have more experience to base observations on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
