Why I think being a Survivor is harder than being a bandit.

Recommended Posts

Yeah, yeah, I know. The wars between bandits and survivors.

"Survivors are just wolves in sheep's clothing."

"Bandits are just cowards with guns."

But, there's several reasons I believe being a survivor is hard mode.

1) Despite popular belief, survivors do not have the luxury of Kill-on-Sight. I've known that on numerous occasions, I've had to hold myself back in fear of killing innocents, only for my best friend to be shot in cold blood by nub-bandits/survivors. Not having the ability to kill-on-sight (of paranoia) is incredibly troublesome and leaves me worried about other survivors suddenly turning on my pal and I.

2) We have to perform raids, where as bandits can simply shoot raiding players. Raids are incredibly difficult in ideal conditions, with good weather, moderate amount of zombies, and (hopefully) no bandit snipers. Only to loot and then immedietly shot is one of the greatest pains ever.

3) Everyone fears bandits. Survivors have to deal with other survivors automatically assuming the worst in them, when bandits have the LUXURY of being shot on sight. No one trusts a bandit, so there's no worry of being betrayed.

Just my thoughts.
