Turns out I'm a Theif, not a bandit..

I still have only killed one player, but more than a few times I've 'stolen' stuff from camps and vehicles.

I'm slowly learning more and how to get around, and another few incursions and I don't think I can call myself a newbie anymore.

But as for the title..

On the server I play on, someone has set up a half dozen tents within easy running distance of the airfield near the coast. Not easy to see unless you're on top of it, but there non the less. I've been quietly raiding it anytime I need supplies, as the guy seems to be farming the entire area for gear. Keeps me stocked up on ammo and occasional food needs when I hit it up. :) I'm certain I could have killed the guy several times by now, as his patterns are pretty predictable, but I don't think I can go down that path.

Just today, I was running along the western edge of the map when a van starts driving through the woods. Now, I was trailing two zeds from a nearby farm because I didn't feel like advertising my presence with gunshots, planning on losing them in the woods. I'm sure I ran right in front of the van not less than a 100 meters away, not to mention the two zeds, and keep on running until I lose them. I immediately take cover...and the guy in the van left it in the woods to go loot the farms I'd just left! I crept up carefully, wary of a trap but he apparently was running on his own. So I hop into the van, and take off for the deep woods in a bid to get away.

And I made it! I drove several klics until I found a nice secluded place to park, got into the back seat to check the inventory and the van was loaded. Several military rifles of varying types, ammo for them and several other bits and bobs. Jackpot!

So, while I had the chance to snipe that poor fool as well, I left him alone and just took his vehicle. So I'm a thief, not a bandit!

I find im the same way killing only when I need something. However today I killed a player for his pack because I had all the other gear I needed and I noticed he had the pack I wanted. It was a quick death from 900+ meters so he didnt feel a thing :D

Where exactly do you find camps? I nearly reached the end of the map where there is no grass nor trees and found nothing. R,I,P Darcy the tractor/margret the DMR/ M4A3/ M1911

Try the NE corner woodlines either side of the inlet from the sea its like winning the lottery sometimes.

Just depends on where a player/group chooses to setup. Some are more heavily defended than others. This one I've been h itting up hasn't even bothered to put up fencing around his tents. Just made a big circle of them, and probably way too close to the coast to be really secure. And pretty sure it was just one player, rather than a group as the tents were mostly empty.
