Marsproject 4 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) After starting a new character I find that i'm practically right next to Cherno, and I see a supermarket on the edge of the city by the coast, so I carefully sneak over avoiding the zeds and keeping a low profile in case of bandits and loot the place. I find a map, compass, watch, food, some cans of soda, and a makarov with a single clip. At first I was like, "ok i'm all set, just need to sneak out of town. Oh hey is that an open building? MUST LOOT!". So I go through a few more buildings and loot them, again avoiding zeds and keeping a low profile by avoiding the streets and sticking to alleys. As I near the edge of town, just walking into the marine hospital area, when I hear some shots from a makarov ring out, naturally I duck down and hide. But as a I hear a few more I realize its not being fired at me, instead its coming frow a couple streets over, so I get up and quickly and carefully loot the what medical supplies I can carry and proceed to quietly book it outta there when I hear more shots ring out.Loud shots, from a high powered rifle of some sort.At this point I am almost frantic, I hear a couple more shots ring out, some from the makarov and some from the rifle. Naturally I assume the poor makarov wielding survivor was spotting and getting shot at. At this point i'm a bit torn.A: Do I help the poor bastard out? Perhaps draw the guys fire so the other can get away?Or...B: Do I keep my low profile betting on the chance I haven't been spotted yet and get the fuck outta dodge?In the end I opted for B, I couldn't see the sniper anywhere and I didnt want to find a place with a view to try and spy him out with my binoculars and give him a clear shot of me. So I stayed low and wished the poor bastard some luck, as the firing went on for a bit and I slowly crawled from the edge of town to the treeline, thing is once I stood up I heard another shot ring out and a puff landed right fucking next to me. I went into panic mode then, I stood straight up and fucking sprinted as fast as I could through the trees, I saw a puff or two from bullets hitting the trees around me but I either outdistanced him, or he just gave up. I didn't know for sure so I just kept sprinting for a good 10 minutes straight north, until I hit a small town and hid in one of the houses, as far as I knew the guy followed me so I was scared out of my wits. I waited a few minutes to see if he would walk in looking for me, had a winchester, which I found in the house leveled at the door way for a minute or two before I decided just to log off.God damn, this game is so fucking tense!

darknight558 41 Posted July 18, 2012 Best thing to do in that situation would be to fire off a bit of your shots randomly. That way if can give that survivor a chance at getting away or atleast distract the sniper for a bit (unless he is dead already). And of course, get the hell out of there if you are undergeared for it.The Anti-Bandits Steam Group:http://steamcommunity.com/groups/TAB-DayZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
