Breaking all the rules

My newest play style .

Join highest pop servers

Walk everywhere .

Do not pick up any guns ,or ranged weapons , or equip any large melee weapons on your back . 

Do not carry much in the way of gear.

Rely on survival skills to trap,fish, and hunt. Crafting a bow when needed for animals. 

Do not appear to hold anything of value. (Large back packs ,military gear and so on ) 

  The goal is to look like a noob bambi .

 

Necessary gear 

Bandages ( arm bands) 

A quick draw pistol ( 45acp darrenger or Magnum ) ( 1 hitters) 

Stun baton 

Brass knuckles 

rope

 

 

What I have found 

You can go really un noticed walking around. And you will see / spot a LOT more activity. 

 

Bandits are far more inclined to try and rob weaker looking people. Which is what I am actively seeking out .

To their shock and amazement I am far more prepared for this than they are expecting. 

I always pack a stun baton , extra batteries , rope /handcuffs,brass knuckles,burlap sack , and saline bags. 

 

I wait for the moment while being held up at gun point , for them to get close. really close , Then i strike fast and accurately.

Once they are knocked out , I cuff them , saline , and sack .

Steal their shoes and what ever else they have i want , or dont want them to have ( normally their weapons ) Force feed them a human steak and charcoal tabs, then run away to a safe distance and watch them break-free  .

 

Most would-be bandits are really really stupid.. Can not hit moving targets at all in very close quarters . And rage through their Mics so beautifully when bested by someone they thought weaker .

 

Breaking from walking into a full sprint charge at someone, really seems to thrown them off and cause them to panic . 

 

 

The entertainment value of these situations far surpass anything I've done in DayZ in a long time.

A good post, the game is at it's best when players get creative. :beans:

DayZ is a sandbox. This is what it was made for. ^_^

Good point lol, maybe there should be a thread pinned, where people explain their playstyles, so maybe some could come up with new ideas?

Teaser for an upcoming video 

 

 

Video to come of just how this situation unfolded. 
For now I tease you with the closing scene

(I'm a cannibal now so imagine the crying sounds here )

Who the hell can? ;D 

 

It isn't easy shooting somebody wearing rocket skates.

 

I prefer to jog around rather than sprint. Once I have a backpack I prefer wearing stuff like jeans and checked shirts rather than military gear. I tend to stick to improvised backpacks as well, rather than going for the massive ones. The game, in this state, is much more enjoyable if you impose limits on yourself. I recently tried a Slav playstyle with a friend. Tracksuits, flat caps, baseball bats and leather shoes - plus a taloon bag. Was the first time I had a loaded gun in a chest holster.
