Friendly survivor - shoot on sight survivor - player hunter

[cucu (DayZ) 8]

I have come to believe that this is the most natural course of gameplay type. When I started DayZ at first I always gave the benefit of doubt and considered fellow players possibly friendly. Of course it did not work out.

After that, I did not talk to anyone anymore, and If I could not avoid the path of another player, I shot them on sight. Threat averted.

Now, after playing for a while longer, patiently, even having raided a heli site, starting to move up North, just to get killed by a camper ***tface in a barn in the middle of nowhere. I scanned the site for a while and it's obvious that it wasn't a coincidence. He was just waiting there and shot me at the second I entered. My mistake was not being careful enough when entering a known high value rated spot.

Do not get me wrong, I am not angry, this is not a rant thread, however, from now on, my goal just went to hunt other players. I will not avoid anyone I see, I will try to hunt them down and kill them.

Do not give in to the darkside - you were just unlucky.

Exact same thing has happened to me, and I still play friendly. Last night I got together with two randoms and we all ended up with gear and med supplies, where we could have just ended up in a death match.

Remember - friendly survivors are playing the game to the max. Shoot on sight is easymode.

I know what you are saying. At the moment the only slightly safer way to team up with someone is if you meet up right after spawning with no gear. No incentive to kill, should help things start out smoother.

I like playing as a loner, but there are times when I really wish I could team up with someone and just roam the lands together.
