Day Z Urban Legends

[IHombreI 16]

Ok so here is my story about The Mountain Dew.

When i was reading the stories about the dew being cursed i always wrote it of as coincidence but now i know what the big deal about it is.

This story is really true and happened not an hour ago.

So i was on the sever i started playing 2 days ago and was in cherno looking for an alice backpack.

I looked in every of these corner pubs/cafes what ever you want to call them.

In one of them i went upstairs and searched the rooms and in the last room of the long halway there was it a can of Mountain Dew.

I decided to not take it cause i am kind of superstitous and all these stories somehow left a mark in my subconscious. I was even joking about it in the side channel that i wouldn't pick it up.

After typing it i heard something what made me feel very uneasy. There were footsteps and zombie growling coming up the stairs. After about 20 seconds of silence and not knowing what to do i saw the zombie appearing in the halway.Quickly I dropped my AK and took him out silently with my hatchet. Silence...

I typed in the sidechannel what had happend (if your wondering there are not many players on that server and those who are pretty cool and nice and we're chatting all the time).

Anyway almost simultaneously after hitting enter to send the next strange thing happend. There was a buzzing noise from flys around a corpse i know that sometimes it randomly appears but it's very short and not so intense and this was like close to a corpse intense. So i ran downstairs looked every where but there was nothing like if someone hid a body. So i asked if someone recently died there and hid the body. But everyone answered with no.

I immedetly left that part of town like if i was being chased by the devil himself.

Why this all happend i don't know. Why the fly noise started so suddenly and i didn't hear it before i don't know. You could even hear it from every room in the building so i must have heard it if it was there before.

But after that i found an alice backpack and camo clothing so it ended pretty well. I try not to imagine what would have happend if i picked it up i guess instead of one zombie 15 would have come up the stairs or i would have died by some strange phantom me.

Hope you liked my story and good night.

This isnt really much of a scary thing but yesterday i saw a bunch of guilied guys at the airfield near olsha dancing around 5 cans of MT dew

Fear the dew man fear it

[dackspuds 15]

I have one.

I was walking the woodlands somewhere south of Devil's Castle, looking for deer stands. It was around 1 a.m. in the game and it wasn't too dark, but I still had my flashlight out because I figured nobody would see me this far out.

I aggro'd a zombie and I ran a little bit before I saw a black tunnel type thing going under a hill. I went inside to try to lose the zed, but he followed me, walking. This told me I was in some kind of building, but once I went inside it became really hard to see back out the way I had come. It was pitch black inside, but for some reason my flashlight wouldn't work in here. No problem, I had seen other places where flashlights didn't really do anything. I continued in, farther.

I hadn't really noticed the sound because it had been so quiet, but the farther I walked, the louder it got. It was the sound of a man screaming, as if his flesh was being torn apart. Only as I walked farther in did I realize that it was not just one voice, but several screaming, tormented wails of agony. Several turned into many.

I was thoroughly creeped out at this point, and I asked over direct chat if anyone was around me.

I got an un-named reply, saying "We are many" in a raspy voice. The mic then became a terrifying screeching howling noise that made me jump out of my seat and turn my volume down. Then several new mics came over direct chat, each with a higher and worse screaming.

I remembered I had some road flares, and I quickly lit one up and threw it ahead of me.

It hit a solid object half a meter from me and bounced back.

I aborted in a heartbeat and almost screamed.

Later I logged back in and I was standing on top of a hill, with a flashlight and road flares under my feet.

[DemonGroover 8836]

It's happened again - the curse of the Dew.

A quick one. There i was happilly roaming with my hatchet, doing my usual Cherno-Elektro run when i came across a Dew. Not 5 minutes later one random, aggroed zombie hit me once. Broken legs, knocked out, dead.

When will i learn?

[Inception. 9443]

Well, I picked up three Mountain Dews yesterday at the same time, and kept in my backpack for a while and nothing bad happened. I suppose that if you have two or more cans of MD in your inventory/backpack, good luck is brought?

Wait.....Untrue the game magically kicked you while you were driving and you respawned into a Ural insta smashing your bones causing you to lose NVG's,Rangefinder and 796 zombie kills I think the dew killed you using different tactics than usual as you had the higher number challenging its authority over your life.

Oh yeah...that...

And perhaps they caused the explosions which blew up my mobile armory? :(

I think what really happened is when Chris stole the mountain dew from your backpack in electro changing the count from three to two it offset the balance of the three dews causing death to almost everyone in your immediate group as both preacher and I suffered unprovoked deaths p.s. I still got back on top with 936 zed kills :P

Day 1

Leaving the Nest

King Luna and thehet had done well so far, they had marched solid for over 4km's in our bid to get to base and get geared up, no complaints, no questions. Good soldiers. King Luna i had known for some time, a loyal member of my close circle, a fierce Scandinavian warrior. thehet was new to me but had gained King Luna's trust, so i had him join us.

The situation in Cherneraus is dire, Bandits roam free with no sign of control, a few of us still live by the land trying to protect those more vulnerable than us, but in this harsh wasteland nothing lives for long. Sightings have been increasing and even more worrying they were getting closer to our home base, something had to be done and done fast.

The plan is to track a couple known Bandits by the name of Samzon and Doojz and kill them on sight, I order King Luna and thehet to drive south of Pobeda Dam and then east towards the Airfield and report anything to myself, who was travelling on foot. We set off south and into sight of the Dam, the Car flew down the valley and onto the Dam, i take overwatch making sure of a safe crossing, suddenly to my right in the treeline i see someone running, armed with what looked like a M107... a priority target for sure, without saying a word i steady my aim and take the shot.

"Poof" as the ground next to him kicks up the dirt, he darts left then right, weaving into small treeline, he knows im there but he doesn't know where, i compose myself and begin searching through the brushline for him... and there he was, proned looking away from me, i couldn't resist and squeezed the trigger on my DMR..... The crack of my rifle almost muffled the cheer for joy as my targets head spurts blood and he hits the floor, "Doojz was killed", Good news is one is down, but where the hell is Samzon??

Samzon, a damn bandit if i have ever met one! We have had our run ins before and only just getting out with my life... the same i cannot say about a few of my lads.. may their beans RIP. If anything this wasn't just a bandit hunt, this was revenge... this was for those fallen P-Coy men, this was justice.

Sighting Samzon was difficult, but suddenly running across the south face of the damn a Ghuillie Suited assailant made his way... "Samzon, at the Dam heading east.... get your target and open fire.... target is HIGH priority!" The roar of King Luna's M107 thundered through the valley moving the very mountain i sat on.. but his shot missed, thehet took aim with his M249 and opened up with short sharp bursts, one round striking Samzon but not enough to stop him, King Luna lifts his weapon and runs across in pursuit...

"SNAP" the sharp piercing sound echoed in the valley to my east as i watch King Luna drop in the field, "Im hit, FUCK IM HIT..." he screamed, i order thehet to provide suppressing fire till i got on target... but he was gone! Panic ensued.. but i had to get the situation calmed down. "thehet, stay and help King Luna, im going after this one myself" he agreed, a nervous agreement but an agreement none the less. The hunt had really begun!

I knew he was going to flank us, using the wounded King Luna as bait, countering this move i ran to the top of the hill as fast as i could keeping my eyes east for my target, low and behold i see him disappear over a ridge into a small open valley, out of my sights but into my trap. Moving east fast i keep my eye on the valley until i reach the tree line moving North into it, slowly i make my way down into the valley, knowing Samzon was here with me... somewhere.

"Any sight yet?" asked thehet knowing i'm stalking, "no nothing yet.. im in the valle... Oh shit he is right in front of me hold up!!" Samzon was stood up behind a tree, almost blending in if it wasn't for his pink face... 300m in front of me so i raise the DMR to my right eye and breathe. The dot aligned with his head, i steady up, control my shakes and yet again pull the trigger...

The Crack sent the birds in the Valley scattering... Samzon's lifeless body slumped on the floor, feeding the tree warm blood running from his open head wound.. a Glorious death!

After meeting back with thehet we carry King Luna to our car and move on... a good days hunting but we almost lost a man, sometimes i wonder if the risk is worth paying....

I'm up to 500 zombie kills on the US server at the moment, but almost out of DMR ammo. I have no side arm or second primary since it was all in my mobile armory [RIP].

Although I'm fixing up the Mi-18 at Balota since you left it there. But wasn't there a second heli?

Day 2

Even i know Fear....

The cold rain lashed heavy against my skin, i was alone and out numbered 3 to 1, they were armed with an AS50, M3A4 and a MK 48. all i had was my trusty DMR, Raising my sights i see my targets stop... i take aim...

20 minutes earlier.

Things seemed quiet today, Starry had been easy loot, little extra DMR ammo and trusty old 1911 clips from the military tents and some supplies from the supermarket and i was done, today i was alone, i couldn't hang about. I decide my next port of call is Berezhino for medical supplies, Morphine was a must after using my last stick mending up King Luna after the firefight at Pobeda Dam, but some bandages and blood bags would be handy.

The rain began to heavy as i passed North of Novvy, my visibility nearing zero as the cloud descended down, like a blanket of darkness from the heavens it covered everything in cold, eery darkness. As i neared the South West of Gorka i get a call from Craig.... He is at Castle Rog, just north of Elektro needing help, well a wheel really and it just so happened i had one, in exchange i asked for medical supplies and made my way South,South East.

10 minutes before

I noticed things going wrong when i came across the dam... i hadn't gotten my bearings that wrong, had i? How on earth had i ended up just North of Elektro? i am at least one click south west of where i should be. Craig noticed this too and worryingly started asking of my whereabouts. it was to his dismay i reported being no were near him yet.

Eastwards it was climbing the steep gradient, each tug of my rifle on my arms growing heavier and heavier, it had been a hard march to say the least and i was suffering now, but i had a job to do and kept going. Upon reaching the crest of the hill i see a UAZ just parked there, alone amongst the bleak framework of tree's, temptation caught hold of me.... i had to have a look.

It started.. and with that i proceeded to direct a new course round the North of Elektro then come into the caste via the easier access route at the East side, i eased the UAZ down the hill, slaloming gently down between the tree's before hitting the tarmac with a loud and hurtful "thud", yanking the wheel to the left i put my foot down only to hear gunshots... from Elektro... and they sound like they are getting closer....

Bailing out of the UAZ i run up the embankment and hide as best i can looking into the town's west side, nothing, yet.

Suddenly 3 figures appear from the mist in the valley to my west, one bandit, one hero and a Ghuillie all heavily armed to the teeth, it had to be Samzon and his crew, only they had the balls to be this far down south so heavily geared up, a chill ran up my spine, the rain dripping down from my beret streaming down my face like a waterfall, cold gusts of wind catching the back of my neck, i was heavily outgunned but i couldn't let them go.

I raised my trusty DMR to my shoulder and go prone, i see the 3 of them slowing and coming to a stop, not an easy shot from where i was but i had the Ghuillie in my range, lifting the sight to my eye and steadying my breathing i grassped the ice cold trigger. The crosshairs moved over my target.. i pause, the wind calms, i squeeze.

An almighty "Crack" echoed around the valley sending the wildlife scattering, the Ghuillie drops like a lead balloon, my shot crashing through his shoulder, swiftly i throw my rifle around and aim at my second target who gets up and moves, "Snap" missed, "Snap" i see the spray of blood as my target goes down behind the rock, Not a confirmed kill but certainly wounded.

The third target had got away at this point, out of range over the western ridge so i turned my attentions back to my first target. "Shit" he's gone, no body, but he was wounded, he couldn't have got far, i begin to scan the surrounding area when i come across a small red bush with a bright green Ghuillie in it, I zoom in again trying to shake the nerves, then i notice he is looking right at me, i focus quick, gather my mind and snap the trigger once, his face erupted like a fountain as the bullet struck his chin. "Samzon was Killed"

It was time for me to leave, the other target had somehow got away too but i didn't want to risk being lured into a trap pursuing them, Craig had gone and i still needed Medical supplies... Elektro it is then.

Day 3 and 4 will be up after i get some much needed sleep.

[forgottenaccount 1559]

I would like to add my note to the first part of the diary.

"After i was rescued by Thehet i tried to get up but that was not possible with broken bones. Reloading my M107 i decided to crawl to the field and keep watching the dam and the hills. As i was in position Derpy and Thehet left to hunt the last bandit. I stayed there thinking how fucked up it is to not be able to join the hunt with bleeding wounds and broken bones. I felt worthless. Some time later they killed the last bandit and came back to get me up and running. We went back to the car and left the battlefield to do another hunt. Maybe someday we all can get along without killing everything we see. But today we fight."

Damn, I am actually getting a little freaked out reading all these.

My story comes from a while ago. I was slowly making my way up the west side of the map, carefully keeping an eye out for deer stands and anything else I could find loot in. As it started to get closer and closer to sunset I decided to cheat and check an internet map for my location. Finally finding where I was, I realized I was only just about 300 metres away from a small deer stand, so I made my way towards it.

It had started to get really dark by the time I managed to get there, so I pulled out the night vision goggles I had managed to find at Green Mountain during a little detour. After surveying the area around the deer stand, I realized there were only three zeds, so I pulled out my shotgun and managed to kill all of them without any damage. After looting the deer stand (found a PDW, very nice) I checked the area again to make sure I hadn't missed anything and, sure all the zeds were gone, I made my way to a nearby farm I had spotted on the horizon.

About halfway across a field I started to get nervous, like I was being watched. I turned around to check the field, and was relieved that it was completely empty. A couple meters later I got nervous again, and heard a faint rustling from nearby. I turned around just in time to see a zed come out of nowhere to charge my guy, knocking him to the ground. Unconscious, most of my health was devoured by the zombie, and I came to just in time to get off my entire round of PDW ammo into the thing. Sure it was dead, I quickly bandaged my wounds and slowly made my way with broken legs and arms to the farm. After passing out a couple of times, I thought I hear another zed, so I went into a panic and began to madly crawl my way to the farm. I turned around one final time to see the zed I had killed earlier sprinting directly at me from the spot where I shot it. Considering I was out of ammo, I think you can guess what happened.

We killed a bloodsucker!

My buddy and I were heading to the bunker and decided to check the mine because we were running low on water and wanted to refill the canteens.

Then we heard it, a deep growl in the woods. We freaked out and ran for the military tower outside the mine.

We shot some Zs and stayed at the top of the tower, the creature below us, growling.

After 10 min of waiting we decided to run for the ruined building, the growling sound was farer away at that time.

At the backside of the building we found a car and decided to get out of there.

Then it happened... I was in the driverseat when we hit something on the road. My buddy got ouf the car and confirmed our bloodsucker kill... the problem was that this foul beast was not alone and they lured us away from the car to check the dead bloodsucker.

They are hunting in packs and they are fast... so Namalsk Surviors prepare yourselfs!

It looked like some STALKER mutant btw, with a tentacle face.

Day 3

Broken Wings.

Despite their losses the bandits numbers were growing, they kept coming back stronger and stronger building new bases around the map acquiring all sorts of vehicles and kitting themselves up. It looks like a one sided battle but we have to hold strong, they still havn't found our main base but they are getting closer, a chopper has been seen coming in and out of a clearing 2 clicks south west of home base and it had been seen leaving recently.

I was working along side Mitunzz and Morgan32 on this mission, unfortunately Fraggle was unable to join us but Steak and Potatoes and SirriXX were on route to the LZ from the north, our squad heading out from Gorka in a UAZ. The plan was to wait in ambush at their LZ and spring the trap when they were on the ground unaware or our presence, simple really and our last intel sad they had been airborne for at least 15 minutes so we had time to lay the trap.

The path north lay quiet without any disturbance, SirriXX reported being only a Kilometer out from North Ridge of the valley they had camped in, we were about 3km out ourselves but moving at pace. The weather was clear, about mid day by the time we cut off road about a kilometer and a half from the LZ, SirriXX was withing 500m closing in on the North ridge, hoping our ambush would work, Steak however was having comms problems and ended up straying well north of the target area.

Suddenly on our 6 a Russian M-17 flew over us and started descending into the clearing, hoping they hadn't seen us we rallied to the edge of the small forest encircling the LZ, jumping out of the UAZ Morgan32 and Mitunzz took the right flank at the opening of the clearing armed with high powered rifles, i chose to follow the forest along the south ridge armed with a M240, i was expecting close combat. The bandit crew had landed and gone straight to two UAZ's they had parked in the middle of the clearing next to a small bush, Mitunzz took aim, armed with the M107 anti-material rifle anything he struck would be instant KIA.

As i crawl my way to the near edge of the clearing i hear the thunderous boom of the M107 tear through the small clearing, one of the bandits fall limp the other two scatter instantly out of my field of view, a few tense seconds passed as no one had eyes on the targets, two remained but well hidden, this is not how we intended things to go at all, SiiriXX was still another minute or so out and Steak was still struggling to get his bearings.

Those two shots that echoed through the clearing, a numb silence followed as my comms fell dead, Those shots not from neither Mitunzz or Morgan32 but at them and both striking home efficiently.

They stayed in the open after the first shot, a Rookies mistake, those bandits took the advantage and took the kills. SirriXX was just over the North ridge, i told her to hold up as i scanned for the two get aways, my M240 would be not much but a distraction from this range but if that is what t takes to win it will do. There they were running up the ridge towards SirriXX's position as she was heading to them.

I never wanted to get SirriXX involved, she wasn't one for fighting but she insisted in helping us out, she wanted to rid Cherneraus as much as we did but i saw her as a medic, a caring person and one to never harm another, today though she was a soldier, willing to die in the bid to wipe out the bandits.

She struck the first bandit cleanly, i tried in vain to distract the second by firing my M240 in bursts but the Bandit was fixed on SirriXX, avenging his friends death swiftly. Everything went quiet, For a moment the earth went cold, SirriXX was dead.

Steak was running south now, pinned to our location by the gun fire, i see the bandit running back across to my north darting between the trees. I fire short sharp bursts at him in between the trees forcing him into the path of the oncoming Steak and Potatoes, their encounter was brief, Steak having the upper hand knowing his target was heading right for him, a couple of shots and it was all over, we had won but at a costly price.

We lost 3 good people that day, Mitunzz was a young soldier, keen as you like and always willing to get on with the task at hand. Morgan32, more of a quiet guy but a crack shot, he made a rookie mistake that cost him his life, that wasn't how he normally was....

SirriXX went above and beyond the call of duty, volunteering to fight with us and making the ultimate sacrifice whilst dealing a blow to the enemy, im deciding wether to name the new medical facility after her, it only seems right.

We hurt them but not as much as they hurt me, we have pushed them further south but at what cost, our forces are stretched thin and with the increase in bandits gaining supplies is becoming ever more deadly, things need to change.... but what can be done??

Here you have it... The Namalsk Blood Suckers!

[spolier]

and my own urban legend.

We've all heard the tales of the wandering spirit who haunts the Balota Airfield.

I spotted his tormented soul wandering around the airfield...

[DemonGroover 8836]

Nice one Chutoo - those bloodsuckers look nasty.

Your video? You say it is Balota? What's with all the helis?

[m.w. vindicator 880]

I was a Norinsk Railway station. There were only a few survivors about so I wasn't to concerned about other players. I had a bike and was looting the station. I killed lots of Zeds and threw lots of smoke grenades. After about a half an hour of fun and looting I decided to check the last tower and leave. Everything went normal. I threw smoke nade and went inside.

Found myself a nice Ak74GL.

I walked down the stairs and was enjoying the scenery when BAM!!!

With a furious roar a blood sucker attacked!! He hit me good and I jumped out of my seat. I turned my gun and fired a magazine of my brand new gun into the beast. I dropped the sucker (pun intended) and then hid inside a building to calm down. That bugger scared the shit out of me.

I got on my bike and rode straight to the hospital!
