theguy8882 9 Posted July 23, 2012 I recently started killing anyone with a weapon on sight. I consider myself a bandit, but I assume everyone has a different definition of what exactly a 'bandit' is. I consider anyone who kills without asking if someone is friendly, and killing without remorse. that's my definition what is yours? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DreamerBrian 7 Posted July 23, 2012 A bandit is one who never gives mercy nor expects it in return. They operate based on the "kill or be killed" and "shoot first ask questions never" mentalities. To a bandit: this game is a pvp game only... the zombies are just an obstacle therein. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sylem 1 Posted July 23, 2012 Everyone is a bandit, there are just varying degrees of banditry. Until this game encourages cooperative play, everyone who values their beans shoots first. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kebman 213 Posted July 23, 2012 I don't trust anybody. That being said, shooting someone in the back is the worst of the worst. I don't care how many murders you've got on your head. If you shoot somebody in the back, you're on my shitlist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Herr Robert 28 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I'm a bandit and more or less kill everyone I see, but I can't bring myself to backstabbing even though this is just a game. The most recent example of that would be when I kneecapped a spawner and asked him to give me a blood transfusion. As a sign of good faith I healed him back up first, gave him morphine and painkillers, and then when he gave me a blood transfusion I gave him some of the basic tools I had as a reward and let him go.

Frank Irony 3 Posted July 23, 2012 I don't kill that much people, i much more prefer to run through the woods, looking for camps, take what i need and drop everything else on the ground. Oh, don't forget to "save old camping tent". I consider myself as a thief :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I consider myself as a thief :DThis^Obviously, if someone is a threat I will kill them, but I much prefer robbing vehicles and tents (yes, I've learnt how to spot a trap the hard way :l).

IroquoisPliskin (DayZ) 39 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Bandits are anyone who would rather kill a player than work together with one. I play as a survivor exclusively. It would just be more fun if the numbers were more 70/30 in the bandits favour instead of 95/5. Edited July 23, 2012 by IroquoisPliskin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadManWalking (DayZ) 3 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) I don t consider myself a bandit, but if i see a player and he is coming my way i shoot :)Just because my previous experience, i get shot 20 times while tying to comunicate so i ve give up.So i stay down and if i see eminent combat caming my way i just open fire without question :) Edited July 23, 2012 by DeadManWalking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
