How many murders to officially become a bandit?

[97ADU Doug 103]

Basically what im asking, is how many murders do you need to commit to actually be considered a bandit by Dayz. To be more specific, how many murders do you need to commit in-order to be put down as a bandit kill rather then a murder when someone kills you?

Isn't it somewhere between 5-10?

I believe its 7, and I think your skin changes when you become a bandit. I'm on 5 murders, so I'd tell you if I got 2 more

There are no bandit skins. :P

Didnt they remove it

I was told it is 3 murders to become considered a bandit, and they removed the "bandit" skin, and instead they added a heartbeat, if you are aiming at a bandit, you will hear your heartbeat speed up and become louder.

They are also removing the humanity system in a future patch to remove all distinctions between bandits and non bandits.

None.

All it takes these dayZ is finding a weapon. Any weapon. ;)

once i was told you start with 2500 humanity, and one kill costs 2000, and you regain 50 per hour or so. i think you go bandit if your humanity goes below zero, that would make sense to me.

however i don't know if that's still true with the current patch.

what i know is, that if you hear the heartbeat it doesn't mean you look at a bandit. it just means the humanity is lower then normal. if i kill someone and look at his corpse, i will still hear the heartbeat (so they killed someone before) but i get no bandit kill.

aw, I wanted the bandit skin... ah well, I don't mind that they removed it. Your heart starts beating faster even at 1 murder, so yeh
