Most epic DayZ story

[kll4 30]

So my First Person character was logged out at North-West Air Field. None of my Steam friends were online playing DayZ so I decided to roll solo.

There wasn't much loot in the fire station so I quit NWAF. and moved to Grishino with the intention to quickly check out the new half-finished town Severograd.

I was going around Grishino, avoiding it to try to find some animals though (I didn't). Whilst doing that I'd noticed Devil's Castle up the hill and decided to check that out because tents spawn in castles.

When I got to the castle tower I'd noticed orange light originating from the top and got surprised because there are not much players going to Devil's Castle but also frightened of losing my gear. At the top I found a fireplace with no one near it.

They had also left a piece of burnt meat and a ruined frying pan there.

So I realised that there had been players there.

Still, I continued making my way to Severograd, at first in a completely wrong direction, straight to the North. Then I looked at my and turn west seeing a completely random deer stand in the wild far off the main road. The location of it: DayZ Standalone Chernarus+ Map - DayZDB

In it there was only one item of loot. A spray can with only 75% left! This indicated that other players used it before me and had to have been there before me. This is quite surprising because of the randomness of this deer stand. So probably the players from devils castle had taken the exact same and wrong route that I took.



I continued to Severograd hoping to meet these players.

When reaching the heart of Severograd, the WW2. monument I saw both players in military outfit standing close to the wall near the school.
I shouted that I'm friendly and that they shouldn't aim at me; still both of them moved closer to me whilst staying quiet.
In panic I decided to climb to the top of the school.

After lying down there for a few minutes I noticed one of them scoping out the area looking for me right on the balcony below me. I took the shot and killed him.

Whilst I was looking for his friend his friend suddenly popped up behind a green building hitting me. I killed him though by getting a very lucky chest shot on him.

 

 

Both of them had cooking and hunting equipment on them indicating that it was the players whose remains I'd found at Devil's Castle.

This is such an awesome story because usually stalking people and locating them by their remains is very hard to do and uncommon in DayZ. But this shows that it's very well possible which makes this story so awesome and one of my most epic DayZ moments.

In my opinion, this is perfectly described by DayZ's motto: "This is DayZ, this is your story."

Nice! I've always wanted to track down players, but I found out that it's not that easy and happens rarely. Never really got the chance to try it again. Extremely lucky on your part, and nice attention to detail! Great story, have some beans. :D
