Bandit skin

[hoover (DayZ) 0]

So, I logged in the first time a couple adys ago and immediately got shot at by another survivor. I return fire, and kill the person. They drop dead. And now im at negative 2k or so humanity and have a bandit skin.

I ask around about how to get rid of it, they say kil bandits, bandage up people, etc. So over the next few days I kill half a dozen bandits, and no survivors. Was over 3000 humanity before it was removed, and died half a dozen times. STILL have bandit skin.

How do i get rid of it? if i cant i might as well just mow down everyone I see, since they kill me on sight.

Shooting bandits, at least as far as I know, doesn't yield any positive humanity, it's humanity neutral, since it won't add or substract any humanity points. The idea that it does yield positive humanity seems to be quite a common superstition since I've read it a couple of times on the forums so far.

Humanity points can be regained by:

-bandaging other people (+20 humanity points)

-administering meds to others (+20 humanity points)

-administering a blood transfusion (+250 humanity points)

Your humanity points should also "regenerate" over time (150 humanity points/5 minutes or 30/minute).

Once you reach +2000 you're survivor status will be restored.

The game has a self-defense mechanism that allows you to shoot someone who opened fire and hit you (might be necessary that the agressor hits you for the trigger to work) within a 2 minute window without any repercussions.

Hope this answers your question

Just wait long enough and it'll go away if you have positive humanity.

It's been three or four days, hasn't gone away, haven't killed anyone unless they shot me first.
