ChiefMasterKush 321 Posted March 14, 2014 I was playing on US West 1-59 last night and decided I should try my hand at some sniping. I made my way over to the airfield from Krasnostav. When I got to the well directly east of the town, the server reset. That's fine, I figured I was more likely to find people looting the airfield. I logged back on but to my dismay only a few others did as well. I decided to creep up closer to the airfield and setup a tent anyways. After a few minutes I saw two dudes running east along the airfield with giant mountain backpacks. They skipped the control tower and went straight to the far east prison. The first guy goes straight in after opening the doors and the second one seemed to have major trouble getting up the stairs. I think he was lagging a lot because he also appeared to be sliding backwards after attempting the three stairs to the prison. Not wanting to shoot at the lagger for fear of missing I figured I wouldn't have another good opportunity once they get inside. I fired off three rounds all while the guy was stationary at the base of the stairs. Nothing seemed to connect but I couldn't tell for sure. What I do know is that they sure as hell knew they were being shot at because the guy finally made it up the stairs and they closed the doors. Now the waiting game. I took another look at the player list and there were still only ~6 people on. Sure enough after a few minutes only ~4 people on.. exciting end. I'm going to start calling Mountain Backpacks, Hopper Packs because those kiddos seem to really like hording loot. -----------------------------------Back to waiting.----------------------------------- After another 5 minutes or so I noticed another user log in who I thought had an interesting name. Authorized User. About another 5 minutes after that I spot my second target running up from the east side. I try to go prone with bipod out but since I had not planned out a spot to do so the damn grass was in the way. So I took the shot from the crouch position. I realize now I opened fire a bit early. The first shot appeared to land a stride behind him even though I aim'd a bit in front. The bullet travel time was a lot more than I expected. Needless to say at that point he started moving in every which direction and started to go back the way he came when I fired off my third shot. He then turned and ran directly at me. I got off a 4th shot as I saw his green beret dip below a ridge in front of me. At this point I was thinking I could try one more shot, pull out my shotgun, wait and hid.. Or run. I opt'd for the running route because I did not know if he saw me and I did not want to find out what kind of gear he was packing. I decide to make my retreat as I was pretty worried about my safety. Coming back around about 10 minutes later I spotted what I assumed was the same guy running from the far east prison. I took a shot but knew i wouldn't be close and he appeared to be coming around to try and flank me. But I lost sight of him and went back to a bush and read a book :) (in game ofc). ----------------------------------- Long story short (oops), I believe this guy was Authorized User because I checked the player list every so often and he never logged off. Whoever he was, that guy provided much more entertainment for the both of us than those two chump loggers. Was it you Authorized User? We may never know. Thank you for reading if you managed to get through all of that. No time to proof as its lunch time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guppy22143 1081 Posted March 14, 2014 Next time, only shoot 3 shots from any given position. That way you aren't spotted! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That way you aren't spotted! :DI'm not even sure he saw me or my muzzle flash but just knew I was in that direction. Or maybe he just randomly decided to change directions, unlikely. ahh great read man, thanks for the smile :)I'm glad you guys liked it. I will also note that reading a book in a sniper hole at the NEAF is quite scary. When it starts raining and you think someone is creeping or those damn zombie rabbits reloading their zombie guns.
