You die when you're not expecting it

[phnordarossa 15]

Hi fellow survivors,

yesterday I was running in the most northern part of the game. North of Gvozdno I was heading east to fill up my canteens at Pobeda Dam. So I ran in the woods for hours, feeling most time very safe as I was surrounded by trees. I got all important items to survive on my own and was pretty happy that I could circumvent the hot spots.

Then there was this clearing in the forest. I could see through the valley to the next hill so I decided to take a look through my binocs. When I did that, I did not check my cover. I was standing in this clearing, visible for any person on the next hill. But I did not think about that. Just in the same moment I looked through binocs, I died. I neither heard a shot, nor did I see myself blooding when I felt down. I just died instantly.

I assume it was another player, defending a camp or something, who took me down with a sniper rifle.

Lesson learned: Always check your cover, be aware of the directions which a possible threat may come from. Even if you think you're alone, you are definitely not.

Good luck out there,

phnord

PS: Maybe it was a bug, but then it was a really strange one.

I've seen hackers kill people at random anywhere on the map. Hell, I saw it happen to my friend and about a dozen others on my server.

...That or your extremely unlucky lol.
