2 Dead Survivor Bodies - North East Supermarket

[Gadget (DayZ) 25]

Hi,

I am about to post my survivor story, but before that I wanted to post here to see if I could find the two players that someone killed in the North East Supermarket, the one South West of the North East Airfield. I have survived for around 5 or 6 days now and my own story has been quite amazing so far - as I am sure everyone elses are in that personal way that seems to come from this game.

I had found the North East Supermarket earlier this morning, just as I was at deaths door. I was severely injured, shaking, blurred vision, starving and on the verge of fainting with less than 3000 blood left and dropping due to starvation (despite what ive read about it stopping dropping at 4000 or something?!?! - and I wasnt bleeding, it was continued to drop 10 per second and nothing would stop it).

I could not believe my luck when I spotted the supermarket, it was the light at the end of a very long tunnel, I had been looking for food for hours. Since the area was quite litterally dead and I had seen or heard from no other survivors in that area, I camped at the Supermarket and ate until I was fully recovered. I used that Supermarket as my 'base of operations' all afternoon. I explorered the nearby towns and villages, raided crashed choppers, and the airport before returning to that location and logging off as it was what I considered 'a safe area'.

How wrong was I....

I logged on around 16:30 GMT (approx) and as I spawned there was a dead player in front of me. My heart was pounding, this dead player - was he definitely dead? The flies confirmed the fact. I extremely cautiously peeked around the corners to find to my horror another dead player in the doorway between the main part and the back of shop. I checked their kit to see if there was anything I needed but other than a milatary torch there was nothing I didnt already have. Both of these players were pretty well kitted out, maps, both torches, gps, rare weapons etc.

I wish i could have helped them before they died, I wish I could find out exactly what happened. I can only assume they were killed by a bandit as they were both facing in the same general direction - ie. away from the front part of the shop, suggesting they were facing an enemy at the back of the shop, perhaps another bandit came in the front whilst the one at the rear acted as a distraction. What i've learnt from this is never log out in any area that is likely to be of interest to others, you dont know what you may find when you login. Secondly, if you hear gun fire from one direction and there are two of you - cover your back as it could be a distraction, or another seperate bandit could take advantage of the distraction.

If the two players who died in there happen to read this I would love to know what happened exactly - I felt so gutted for you both, I could see that these players had done a fair bit of exploring to have gathered the kit they had and they died in the building that saved my life hours earlier.

Huh.. I was sure we had a DayZ stories thread pinned at the top of this forum.

Must be my mistake.

Oh dear, its the forum trolls police again... Sorry I didnt realise there were double yellow lines here officer... I wasnt trying to post a survival 'story' as such, I wanted to try and get the attention of people reading the general section itself incase either of the two players recognised the location and events etc - to get their side of the story.

I just love the way people post on forums saying 'didnt you search for that first' or 'dont you know theres a thread for that' etc etc. Sorry but we don't all sit there reading every single thread in every single section... I stand educated now and will post survival story esque threads in the survival story section.

They probably killed each other

[ajbader@umich.edu 7]

I remember I did this once in a Barracks and I saw two dead players with Bizon SD's and decent equipment. However, the people that killed these poor fools probably were long gone because the place was clear.

[Gadget (DayZ) 25]

They probably killed each other

Good idea but they were both facing the same general direction, and they both were kitted up to the teeth - ie. tonnes of food, bandages, morphine, bloodbags, both had every accessory except NVG, both had Alice packs or better, both had very rare snipper rifles and assault rifles.

On reflection I wonder if that server had just been 'nuked' by one of these scripts ive just read about?!? Sounds the most logical as both players appeared untouched - ie. their bags looked to be full to the brim with nothing missing.

I took one Bizon SD magazine (he didnt have Bizon he just had the 1 mag, but I already had a Bizon) and the better torch off one body and left everything else as was.

How do you survive for 5 or 6 days without finding matches, hatchet, and hunting knife? That's some bad luck bro.

[mediocreyeti@gmail.com 33]

Unrelated question. Is the bizon any good? I have come across a few in my travels but never bothered to test it out. Would you take it over the M4A1 CCO SD that I currently have?

Haha, logged off due to night in one of the western supermarkets earlier today, went to grab some real life food and drink...

I logged of in the back of the supermarket in the small room in the corner.

Right before I logged off I had exchanged my military flash light for a pistol at that very location.. or so I thought..

Logged back in, seemed to have turned day, noticed that somehow i had not gotten the pistol i picked up before relog, then literaly a second later I see a survivor with a ak crouch his way into the room..

thank god he was tunnel visioned by the can of beans by the door, he never saw me in the corner... and In shock I logged off before he had time to notice me... I have never felt so naked before.. damn flashlight nearly cost me my life.

This makes me curious.... How long do zombie and player corpses last in game?

bizon has more in the clip but you wont find as much ammo for it, also it has just a small iron sight in comparison to the m4,s cco sight. i recently had the option to pick up a bizon over my m4 and i stuck with it. also it has higher calibur, the better weapon for sure.

@ the OP i dont know if you detected the sarcasm in my comment so ill be a little more direct in telling you thats not a cool story... bro. a dayz story needs meat... try evade death by a group of roving bandits by killing one of them with a pea shooter then taking his weapon and using it to fiinnish the rest of the group, then write up an elaborate story about the dayz fun you had. the 2 dead guys in supermarket story happens every 10 mins in cherno man

Without server reset, 40min for player bodies.
