Sharplooter 98 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) The "Bandit Skin" from the Mod is back! Just kidding a bit :) It was the best I could reach in the loot limited 0.48 exp for a look-a-like, though I was nearly always a Hero in the Mod. But I know many people loved the Bandit Skin.

Pokerguy12 218 Posted August 9, 2014 Basically its a shoot on sight order towards anyone with a gun and a shemag like this. So we have the following headgear as an indication of who you are: Motorcycle helmet: Treat suspiciously, avoid Payday mask: Troll/griefer, avoid Shemag: Bandit, shoot on sightBallistic helmet: May not be hostile, avoid and kill if player approachesBeret/boonie hat: Milsim roleplayer, shoot on sightBaseball cap: Not hostile, worth determining if player is friendlyGasmask: Airfield hopper, shoot on sightBurlap sack: Insane individual or possibly possessed by demons, look for priest at Elektro church to perform excorism 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khanarac 252 Posted August 9, 2014 I hated the skin. We called it "the glowstick". I guess for obvious reasons xD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharplooter 98 Posted August 9, 2014 Oh my post was moved to its own thread, but actual not a bad idea :) @Pokerguy10You are right in most ways, but I usually wear a motocycle helmet as soon as I can get as protection against aggro newbies, because I dont attack unarmed players. And many people try to exploit my "kindness" with their fists. But if I have enough room in my inventory I carry the helmet for example in my pant or vest and put it on my head just in case. PS: Next time i will try to reach a Mod Hero look-a-like, with cap, check shirt, blue jeans and hopefully black high capacity vest, hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papanowel (DayZ) 34 Posted August 9, 2014 (edited) It's called judging without knowing them :P "I don't like your face, I shoot at you." What about a guy carrying a crossbow and wearing a pilot helmet? :rolleyes: Edited August 9, 2014 by Papanowel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etherimp 1323 Posted August 9, 2014 Pure bullshit. I choose whatever looks nice to me, not whatever reflects my playstyle. Not pure bullshit. Accurate about 80-90% of the time. The way you dress in game *probably* reflects your playstyle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Minion 943 Posted August 9, 2014 Pure bullshit. I choose whatever looks nice to me, not whatever reflects my playstyle.I think it has some truth about it. It does not mean that everyone with a shemag is a bandit. However the policy "always KoS" will probably make you do the "right thing" (killing a hostile and not killing a friendly) more often than "always approach them in a peaceful way". The point is that clothing reflects your character and the way you are playing is some way. So if the playstyle "stalk and kill other players" tends to influence your choice or clothes in a certain direction, people wearing this kind of outfits are more likely to follow the playstyle "stalk and kill other players". That doesn't mean its a safe bet but it increases their "perceived threat level". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hleVqq 139 Posted August 9, 2014 I judged it from the people I play with. None of them are bandits but would gladly wear a bandit mask if it happened to look cool. So it's pure bullshit not in the sense that people don't choose face/headwear according to their playstyle, but rather that you're not supposed to take action depending on what the player wears.

Grunner 96 Posted August 9, 2014 Lone wolf here & I wear the gas mask, as I've had it for ages now. I'd be mildly annoyed if someone accused me of server/airfield hopping. Thankfully all you scrubs are rubbish at this whole KoS thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
