My first 'real' death

[DDaron 38]

Of course I died a couple times in the beginning learning the game but I just died on my first long solo survival attempt.

I was at day 12 and fully geared except for high end rare military stuff.

It was on the south slopes of green mountain. I heard sniper fire in the distance (sounded like a AS50) and went prone. But the shots didn't land anywhere near me.

A couple more shots got fired and 2 death messages appear. Again the shots landed nowhere near me. I decided to head back where I came from (west) and take no risk.

Should have crawled all the way. Cause the second I get up, I get dropped. I shot kill. AS50. Maybe he had a couple buddies with him, spotting. I don't know. The best thing I lost was a silenced MP5.

What would you have done?

Funny side note: On respawn, the first thing I find is a tent. Hospital looting will get exiting cause I never had a tent.

I tend to go prone stay still if i know they have not seen me, then jsut stay like that until all is silent again then slowly move my way in the direction i blieve is safe
