BANDIT? SURVIVOR? BAH

[Max Railgrave 78]

BAH. There are so many more ways to play than just Bandit or Survivor. This isnt Red and Blue, Black and White.

Let's see what crazy new archetypes we can come up with!

Mad Doctor Knocks you unconscious, blood bags you, then knocks you unconscious again. DOES NOT LET YOU DIE. Bonus points if Respawn and Abort from Combat have been disabled in a future patch, they can toy with your corpse indefinitely!

Gentleman Adventurer Act like you're a great hero and be like "STAY BACK VILLAIN" to every single person you meet. Talk like you're some kind of well known superhero.

Peaceful Medic: Same as above minus the sadism. Idealistic player who follows people around trying to heal them. Dies a lot, lives for the moments discovering the occasional person who doesn't kill them.

Hermit - Stays in one place the entire game, never leaves, points a shotgun in the face of anyone who comes near.

UHF - Sit somewhere spamming music off a second account while the first account loots everything while everyone else investigates the sound. UHF account then blows self up when enemies get near.

Zombie Shepherd - Runs through every city and keeps a constant swarm of zombies on them at any given time. Contribution from Manaw: Bonus points if you use Zombie Face paint and only use melee weapons.

Solid Snake - Arm yourself with a pistol, a hatchet, a rocket launcher (no backpack), full survival gear, night vision goggles. Live in cities. Stalk people all day. Speak to them in Solid Snake's voice. Slit throats. Tell newbies of a secret base with a Giant Mecha in it.

Pyrotech - Collect an entire inventory's worth of flares, get an entire group of players to toss flares EVERYWHERE in a city until the entire city is bright flare-lit red at dusk. Have a player broadcasting

during the event. Bonus points if you set off satchel charges and have other explosives.

Trojan Warrior - Grabs everything in a city, piles it in one pile somewhere, shoots anyone who comes near it.

Umbrella Corporate Commando Sits on a tower in Cherno, throwing smoke grenades to make zombies aggro on targeted individuals.

Chronic Backstabbing Disorder Maintains multiple ARMA2OA accounts so that they can double-agent themselves and betray two factions simultaneously. Bonus points if you rejoin the same factions under different names using vocal morphers, and then backstab them AGAIN.

Psychotic Axe Murderer Follows you around with an axe at close range without you knowing, lunges out of the shadows screaming AHHHHH and kills you. Not interested in your loot, just padding his kill score. With an axe. In your face.

Psychotic Axe Murdering Teabagger Same as above, except while you're unconscious, they sit on you.

Jigsaw Captures a victim and then forces them to kill someone to earn their freedom.

Bomber Starts his life entirely by running to the nearest military camp, gathering as many grenades as possible, and then running up to someone, pretending to be friendly, and then dropping the grenade instead of a flare.

Vigilante Only kills other people who they have seen killing people

United Nations Group of players who seek out othre players' conflicts and systematically disable the fighting capabilities of both sides, whether by chucking smoke nades in to bring zombies to break up the fight, or by breaking everyone's legs.

YOUR TURN

Yes.

Does the shepherd get bonus points if they use the zombie face and only use melee weapons?

[GeordieMarv 293]

Hermit - Stays in one place the entire game, never leaves, points a shotgun in the face of anyone who comes near.

LOL! Some good suggestions there man!

[Horrendus 2]

Rambo - Lone warrior known to run through major cities lighting up anything that moves with LMG fire. Has been spotted running through Cherno at night waving glowsticks crying out "Come At me Bro!" Bonus points if your the last man standing after firefights.

[MajesticShitstain 12]

This thread made me laugh. :thumbsup:

[thehumandove 344]

I could do a drunken hermit pretty well

[Humbabwe 16]

Protector (Emphasis on the -or) Sits at a good vantage point in or around a city with a sniper rifle picking off any zombies chasing the freshly spawned.

[Max Railgrave 78]

Super Meat Boy - Suicide if you take ANY damage. You MUST STAY AT 12,000 BLOOD AT ALL TIMES.

Bonus points: Have someone with you who has no idea why you're doing it. Broadcast Super Meat Boy music if they ask.

Double points if they realize what the music meant.

Team Valve - Team of in full character Gordon Freeman, Alyx Vance, Isaac Kleiner, Barney Calhoun and Adrian Shepard.

Gordon: Armed with Crowbar and MP5

Alyx: Armed with G17

Isaac: Armed with SCIENCE! (Medic)

Barney: Armed with Assault Rifles

Adrian Shepard: Armed with Grenade Launcher

Team stays in character. Gordon and Adrian never speak. Barney keeps cracking jokes about old times at Black Mesa. Alyx shouts "GORDON!" if Gordon is in trouble. Isaac keeps whining about losing Lamarr and wonders where the headcrabs are. Adrian acts more brutal, Gordon acts more calculating.

Bonus points if someone starts laughing hysterically overhearing it.

Guardian Angel: Stalk other survivors from a distance with a sniper rifle, whenever a threat confronts the survivor you take them out. Never give up your location or make contact in any way with the survivor you are protecting.

Excellent!

I'm the Pyro. I'm getting flares now can't wait for night time now.... ;)

Might get the clan to pick a character. I know of someone now who's gonna be a guardian angel. xD

THIS IS MY FAVORITE THREAD EVER :D

[Max Railgrave 78]

Graffiti Artist - Use Razor Wire to spell obscene things that when viewed spell out words.

Bonus points: Someone goes WTF? and posts it on Reddit.

Triple Points: It makes http://www.reddit.com/r/DayZ front page.

Ultimate Points: Murder 5 people who look at it, take screenshot, post on reddit as "PENTAKILL"

You should have people that are 'bus drivers' and 'taxi drivers' who go around taking survivors different places!

[n_findlay14@yahoo.co.uk 45]

Max Payne - If you take any damage the only supplies you can use are painkillers.

[cJack8410 19]

I like the bus and taxi driver idea. There could be a toll like food water or ammo depending on how far you want to go.

[☣BioHaze☣ 7337]

Super Meat Boy - Suicide if you take ANY damage. You MUST STAY AT 12,000 BLOOD AT ALL TIMES.

your super meat boy is basically resident evil "professional mode"....

Zombie Shepard is a position I already occupy at times though I call it Zombie import/export, or Zombie relocation. And thankfully it's only part time employment.

I've met the axe murderer, he is real.

I logged into a server and the global message was something like, "beware the crazy axe murderer!".

While prone between a house and fence a shadowy figured appeared from the road and dispatched me with one swing of the axe.

Delivery Boy or "Fry" - using any means of transport makes gear deliveries for groups/clans, for a price.

[Max Railgrave 78]

You should have people that are 'bus drivers' and 'taxi drivers' who go around taking survivors different places!

Someone on YouTube was actually doing this.

Another one:

Dr. Gregory House

Same as Medic, except you always walk at walking pace, and you only heal people if they pay you in Painkillers. Flip the hell out and scream at them "I NEED PAINKILLERS" if they don't have any. Act like you REALLY ARE angry. Make them scared of you. Make them think you're about to kill them. Get up in their face, growl, "YOU ARE USELESS TO ME," and walk away.

Bonus points if the story makes it onto YouTube.

Taking a break for a bit to get dinner. I'd love to see what the community comes up with.

I hope this thread reminds everyone, this is an open world sandbox game. Don't limit yourself by thinking "Survivor" or "Bandit." You could be SO much more.

Batman: Watches Cherno and Elektro from Pik Kozlova peak..

;)

(extra points if you use a helicopter)

I am so gonna try this!

Ok I'll take a stab at it.

The Crazy Hoarder -​ Build tents real close to town and in sight surround it with bear traps , shoot wildly at anyone in sight while shouting something about my stash!

but fill the tent with empty tin cans and empty whiskey bottles.

[Strogg 23]

Live bait: Runs through towns, lures most of the infected to the docks while teammate/s grab the loot.

[n_findlay14@yahoo.co.uk 45]

Auged Up - Get all the best items in the game and then run up to everyone shouting "I NEVER ASKED FOR THIS".
