First kill

[reemer 5]

On a low pop server exploreing around a city on the east coast. As i was exiting a house i saw movement and ZOMBIE! I swung only to realize it was a player - ekk. Totally forgot to hit my mic but did manage to lower my axe and back up. He must have thought i was trying to kill him or he was as supprised as me because he started swinging for the fences with his axe! After he swung three times i figured there was only one way out of this situation and BAM! Axe to the face! I felt bad but i feel im over the jittery feeling and the next person i meet ill be able to keep my head and use my mic. I wish it would have gone different but in the end you cant complain about winning a coin toss. What was your first combat experience like?

I heard a gunshot, and then all I saw was 

You Are Dead

[too-easy 56]

My first combat experience:

Was very new to the game. Just found my first gun, a mosin, but no ammo. While I was looting a barn near the construction site in Berezino I noticed a guy coming in the barn. As I had only met friendly people at that time I waved and a second later was dead. Axe in the face.

A few deaths later I got my first kill on NWAF. Killed a guy with a magnum. Guess he was sorting his inventory because he didn't even move when my first shot missed him by a few inches.

To be fair, I would not call it combat as much as I would call it the scene out of a horror movie.  I'd just settled my toes into the mod with a good friend and it was getting late so he decided to log out.  Figuring beyond good judgement, I stuck to lower population servers for my first few days to get the feel of the mod.  I took a deep breath and checked the server list, six deep and I had but a few hours of nightime left prior to the sun's arrival and what I would only assume would mean more population to slay me.  Non the wiser I legged it with a compass, canteen and axe to NEAF, hoping I could locate some of the unknown treasures that lay before me.  Beaten and a touch lost I finally located the airstrip thus feeling accomplished and slammed my canteen as a reward. Hydrated and primed it was time for a cautious evalutation.  I conducted two full exterior sweeps with no visual movement under the moons crest and pounded asphalt until I reached the first hanger. 

 

Locating a few high tier items with nothing but a coyote patrol pack (hardly any slots) I thought now would be the best time to get out whilst I still had my head about me, but curiosity killed this cat.  I legged it abroad the ATC to check for items I could possibly exchange with a few zeds in tow and put them down like the assassin I felt I was via axe mark.  Heart pounding and the volume maxed as an infamous soundtrack filled my ears looping its grip to peak my paranoia, I smooth criminal'd back down the stairs of said ATC. 

 

Approaching the exit things became malevolently clear as a thunderstorm flew over, my headset vibrating like a hooker in church whilst a UH-1H Huey slams down exterior the ATC to refuel.  Fook me!!! I whispered to myself as I froze in the doorway.  Direct chatter began to fill my headset One Jerry Fueling. Roger, touch off in 3.  I gripped my axe and wiped the sweat from my brow, keep calm. A flare kicks off lighting up the entire traffic tower like a chinese new year and I break for it.  As I meet the corner I find three guards, one fuel man and a pilot sitting back as if he is smoking a fine cigar.  A timid deer in the headlamps I freeze and scramble for direct chat whilst the barrel chested men stare me down, its to late..  The three oxen don rifles and feather me into the soil and I wash ashore in Kamenka shaking like a new born.  Post the occurrence it took me a week to return to the NEAF.

my first expirence with the death in dayz, was exactly what Mancomb wrote.. B)

[dvsilverwing 241]

Release day, all the servers stuck on night time permanently, nobody knows where to find gear, everyone beating each other with low tier melee weapons or fists. Basically my first DayZ combat.

[IAmWattsLive 5]

I got handcuffed and my pants taken...

My first combat experience in DayZ came from the mod. Was a fresh spawn in Cherno. Needless to say there was a heli flying above doing circles around the town. Didn't take them long to see me and gun me down while attempting to get into a building.

 

My first combat experience in DayZ SA came at Vybor after I had accidentally gotten a spawn at the town. Was naked and was being chased by two guys with Fire-Axes..... It was the most terrifying thing I have had happen to me... Needless to say got me and killed me.

My first combat experience was when I had about 2 hours of playtime. I was looting a house, when a guy with a baseball bat sprints in and starts attacking me. I ran out, and found his buddy waiting for me outside, also holding a baseball bat. I managed to take them both out with my fire extinguisher, but I ended up dying from blood loss 10 seconds later.

Here's mine from many moons ago. (I just realized I've spent almost 3 years playing this game... Lord)

MY first kill was with a mosin in berezino wooden clinic. It was in a self defense. Got shot 2 seconds later by his friend aiming down the hall

My first kill was in elektro I was on the roof of a fire station and just found an FNX mag for my FNX and someone climbed up so I gunned them down! few seconds later over stepped the ladder and fell to my death :'(

My first actual kill (or kills) was about a month ago, while playing with a buddy of mine. I've had the game for months, though I have just never grown the guts to play on a busy enough server. I hopped in a Skype call with a buddy, and went to a 50 player server, and yes, it was pretty much full! We spawned in, met each other just outside of Elektro, and went looting. Keep in mind, I did not have any experience in a fully populated server at this time. Even after watching Twitch streams often I knew how dangerous Elektro is, or can be, I have never experienced it myself.

 

We were casually trotting through Elektro getting anything we can find. My friend finds, if I remember correctly, an SKS - no ammo. I, on the other hand, only found a sledge hammer. We kept on looting building to building when we turn down a street to spot a fella on the roof of a hospital, aiming down right at us. I stuck near my friend to try and make sure nothing happens, but he was already popping off rounds at us. About two shots in, my friend gets killed. I cannot loot his body in any way without getting shot. I was pretty angry at this moment, and I figured that if my friend died, the least I can do is try to make sure he did not die in vain. I went around some buildings and managed to sneak inside the hospital.

 

My heart is pounding, I'm sweating - it was my first real PVP experience where I actually knew what was going on! I slowly creeped up the stairs on my way to the roof, armed with nothing but my sledge hammer. I get to the top floor, and find my way to the roof. I expected him to be aiming at me the instant I got up there, but I guess he never noticed. Still crouched, I sneak up behind him, and crack his head with my sledge hammer. I thought it was over, as I lay next to his dead body grabbing his Mosin, his ammunition, and anything else that is useful. After looting, I turn around to find, what I'm guessing was his buddy, pointing at me with his MP-133 shotgun, pistol grip. I instantly stand up and aim the Mosin at him, but he already shot. I fall to the floor with broken legs. I'm on my belly trying to line up a shot while he tries to creep his way towards me. I waste no time - I emptied whatever ammo that was in the Mosin into his body, and watched him collapse. I'm so paniced yet excited - I'm freaking out and making little kid noises over the microphone. I crawl over to his body (thankfully he had morphine), grabbed whatever I could, hid, and healed up.

 

Either his buddy had pretty bad aim, or what people have told me during my childhood is true - I'm great under pressure.
