UPDATED DAILY: I'm Issuing a Warning to Any Snipers

[ZombieSpecialist 144]

Well this a fun topic with plenty of sniper on sniper drama and all kinds of kill ethics this game seems to revolve around.

I find it silly that people claim counter sniping is easy when you need to consider that if the sniper is any good he will:

A ) Be outside the city limits.

B ) Not putting up a silhouette on a hill.

C ) Be 400+ meters out to not spawn zombies around him.

D ) Be playing in a server with no name plating.

E ) Have all high value spots ranged out for fast zeroing.

F ) Will have a spotter with him, good snipers work in pairs.

I can keep going but those six key elements are what will keep a good sniper alive and well. If he is carrying a weapon like an AS50, or a M24 good hunting because he is gonna be one hell of a hard target to sight.

I agree with most of the points above, but although it would be easier to have a loyal spotter next to me, I don't need one. Already about 25-30 snipers killed in the last couple of days. I'd say that's pretty effective. No deaths yet, and no one has spotted me. Let's say my hiding place... is... a little unorthodox.

[ZombieSpecialist 144]

I was pretty much in the middle of the map... no one around. So I though... one shot dead. I'm sick of it too... I only die from other players. I've never once shot another player. lol

I represent you, and anyone like you. Don't worry work is being done against this.

I don't need squad mates, I am indeed a lone wolf. To say "with the exception of sniping in Cherno" is, again, ridiculous. Why are you just randomly making exceptions?

When I kill you, and your "squad" is there to back you up, I might retreat. Plus I'm heavily camouflaged, I could lay still and still be easily undetected. I will take on a squad of 10+ if I know they are a danger to the city. Don't worry about that.

How can you know I'm not heavily camouflaged?

Btw, I'm making exceptions on the sole fact that I can. I can do whatever the fuck I want. And I do it well mind you.

I don't mind dying. I like to analyze my death, finding out exactly what I did wrong, and how to avoid it in the future.

I like your cocky attitude, I just hope you can back it up once you encounter us. 90% of "lone wolfs" fire one shot and then they alt-f4 like the little bitches they are.

[ZombieSpecialist 144]

He's just on his period. Even if I never sniped before, I'd do it just to see how upset he gets. Cause rule number one in DayZ:

Don't get attached to your gear.

And Rifles are too easy to find. xD

I don't get upset or mad, I get more focused. And kill you. It's very simple.

[krautzy 13]

If you are in Cherno: stay there. This will be good. If you think you are safe in another city killing innocents, it will only be a matter of time until the number of snipers in Cherno on a three hour basis drops below 0.33, to the point where I move city. If you are in the area I move to, count yourself already dead.

run at me bra

Your so awesome OP, please tell me what I have to do to be more like you!

Wait no, I couldn't give two shits

I have never alt+F4, and even if I wanted to I can't, my keyboard doesn't allow it. You might be highly camo'd, well done if you are. It should take me less than 10 minutes to find you after you shoot, mind.

Thanks for the input. It's highly appreciated.

Happy hunting ;)

The OP here is so full of rage. Sweeping assumtions that 'oh the majority of snipers are assholes but people running through cherno/elektro are just innocent friendlies who'd never shoot anyone'

lawl...

Until you've killed me. (Which you won't), then it's all invalid, and you're another camper. Enjoy.

Thread subscribed... Thanks OP for your fine work out there! And this glorious thread.

THE TIDE IS CHANGING!!!

[Komotez 29]

Your overconfidence is your weakness

[Vellarain 73]

I love all the posturing on this thread, Yet the chances of you all ever encountering one another is so remote It would be almost on par with winning a large community lottery. Yet you all talk about how easily you can kill one another, I want to see screen shots of confirmed kills video would be even better but I ain't picky. Until then talk all the smack you want and puff out those peacock feathers ladies.

While you have a great idea...I find there's one issue with it. I sometimes am on the rooftops of the city, and I climb up there for a good vantage point, to see if there's anyone else in the city, or any action going on. I can use my binoculars up there.

No doubt you would just shoot me, assuming that I am a player-killer.

I should clear this up... I'm not full of rage, because I'm doing something about it. I'm not the one dying and losing all my gear.

I'm not assuming that every sniper is an arsehole or that people running through cherno are innocent friendlies, I'm saying everyone is friendly until proven guilty. And seriously, what's the one reason people would be on a rooftop looking down onto the city, WITH A SNIPER IN HAND? To see the sights? I don't think so. I'm only killing those who have a sniper in hand and who look VERY likely to be killing humans WHO HAVE A MUCH HIGHER CHANCE OF BEING FRIENDLY.

Yeah the egos in here make me want to barf.

Most definitely not, you can trust that I will NEVER kill anyone who doesn't have a sniper in hand on a vantage point. 99% of people who do will be killing people on the ground. Now the people on the ground, the chance of them being friendly is 50/50, so I should give them the benefit of the doubt.

My, what a fine dick measuring contest we have here!

I've been sniping in Cherno/Elektro on my current life for weeks. I've yet to even take fire, let alone actually get tagged. Come find me, bro.

And you joined right in :D

Well, yeah. I mean, what else am I supposed to do?

I desperately want to know how my weener stacks up to OP's.

OP's is too small to measure. Just read his post.
