BroskyBro 21 Posted February 19, 2015 What exactly is considered a bandit in this game? The guy that shoots first or something? I honestly don't know, I keep hearing the term used but don't know what it means in DayZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
d3athrow89 8 Posted February 19, 2015 Well the fact that I'm killing on sight "kos" makes me a bandit from what I understand. I didnt always play like this just got screwed over to many times. I think of bambies as just ppl who dont have gear at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly don't know, I keep hearing the term used but don't know what it means in DayZ.A bandit is like a criminal IRL: Wide scaled, but generally not the guy you'd share your beans with.

BroskyBro 21 Posted February 19, 2015 A bandit is like a criminal IRL: Wide scaled, but generally not the guy you'd share your beans with.Would I be a bandit if I shot someone that had a gun then...? It's just kind of hard for me to tell the difference with trying to be safe and being a bandit.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reg Park 160 Posted February 20, 2015 eh, try robbing players, much harder and more interesting for both parties. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toasted duckie 156 Posted February 20, 2015 "bandit" :') Yea... okay... KoS d-bag is more like it. People who try to hold people up and take some of their stuff? Great! Requires more skill then trying to get friendly interactions.Shooting at anything that moves? Pathetic and ridiculously easy 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LanceroxD (DayZ) 75 Posted February 20, 2015 i was expecting some hostage situations or robbs but next just put it like pvp montage kos on the house Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedGuard 40 Posted February 20, 2015 Not much of a bandit if you ask me. More of a heartless criminal from the looks of it.DayZ needs people like you. It keeps us - the gentle ones - on our toes :-)Red Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's just kind of hard for me to tell the difference with trying to be safe and being a bandit....Depends on the circumstances. If he had a gun, and looked friendly, probably.It takes experience to judge if they look friendly. If they wander around with their gun out, they're hostile. If it's holstered, they're likely friendly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killawife 599 Posted February 21, 2015 Pretty pointless video. You were not being a bandit, just a dirty KoS'er. You're not even human anymore, just garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirby12352 67 Posted February 21, 2015 Try making a video of a robbery/taking someone hostage. I've been taken hostage before, and it was much more interesting than being shot out of nowhere by a sniper. At least, it was interesting until the 3rd guy walked up and put a bullet in my head, even though I was following all their orders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sneakydudes 278 Posted February 21, 2015 I didn't have shadowplay enabled and running over two and taking one hostage in the truck was funny stuff. If only we had a video of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Aquatic Land Walrus 565 Posted February 24, 2015 so if i run around with mha gun out , with no ammo , am i hostile? shitty way to judge bro D:For having your gun out, probably.Common sense. You don't run around a school playground looking like you're gonna punch the shit out of some kid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LanceroxD (DayZ) 75 Posted February 24, 2015 For having your gun out, probably. Common sense. You don't run around a school playground looking like you're gonna punch the shit out of some kid. im saying it cuz ive had some interactions when i was with my gun out so the guys i was talking with, so i think its not for everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Riddler (DayZ) 410 Posted February 24, 2015 The music for this video made me laugh the whole time. Thought it was funny and not going to judge somebody shooting others in DayZ; its part of the game :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackyCTV 54 Posted February 26, 2015 the easiest for me.I think the point trying to be made here is that just because you have your gun out with no ammo YOU ARE still seen as a threat, if im looting a town and a player is running through it with his gun ready (Ammo or not) by default I think Hostile Player and I wont be taking any chances where as if the player ran through with his weapon on his back I think to either Avoid or Encounter depending on what the player is wearing.to sum it up, the safest way to play the game is to Assume what kind of player that person is and go from there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
