No Fail Bandits anymore!(Elektro Hill Battle)

[Xero66 26]

So my last thread was about much fail. Now me and my mate didnt only learn much more about tactics and the game. I could also convince another mate to join us in DayZ!

So what im going to describe is the first real battle we had (and the biggest too! You can really call that a battle lol).

So because we were fairly good equipped and were bored of wandering through woods and looking for stuff we decided to look for a bit of action.

We knew theres often snipers on the hills near Elektro, and because of that we thought getting them from behind would be a nice idea and also good for the poor respawns pillaging Elektro :P

So we went on the Hill named Dobryy east of the power plant. No snipers there, but Zeds spawned at the plant and 2 players spotted down there + 1 dead body.

As my mates only had a Lee Enfield(The new mate Tiger) and an AK(Abso) i was the one with a Sniper rifle (M24/Xero).

So because Tiger is fairly new we told him what to do....after i got shot 2 times from point blank range (bad thing as a sniper) because we didnt secure the area i told him to get higher on the hill and check our six.

With the M24 is could spot the enemys movements very good.

But while the 2 of em where down there, another one approached us from south hill upwards. Abso immediatly opened fire and mowed him down. Had no other choice as the guy was farily close (150m probably) and right on the way to us.

The 2 guys at the plant must have heard that, crossed the street way east and vanished. They also were south of us now.

So change of tactics. They could come from the south or the left. So Tiger had the best overview and was told to switch positions to cover the east side of the hill. Abso was lying at a bush about 150m south of me and i was the most eastern one at the treeline on the hill.

Then everything went way to fast for me.

Both guys (which definetly were mates) appeared from behind a bush about 50m from me. Worst case scenario for a sniper to have 2 running targets in that close proximity. I switched to the 1911. They didnt see me cause i was right on the other side of the tree. I made sure to tell Abso and Tiger that they were very close to me and Abso opened fire on one of them when they were 20-30 metres away from my position. And THAT was the fucking BEST he could do! The immediatly faced Absos direction (more south) and turned their backs on me. No i had the chance to get out of my cover and blast half my mag into the back of the one closest to me. He fell instantly.

Abso told me he was hit, but only bleeding. The second one was lying on the floor also, so Abso must have got him.

Tiger seemed to havent been involved, very conservative player, but that was good in the end because....

....after robbing all good stuff from the corpses(GPS was the best^^) we were good to go. Then shots fired. Im down. Instantly. Some mad M16 hit me in the back :(

I dont know exactly what happend after that, but Abso also got shot by that guy.

Tiger still laying far up the hill remained in cover. We told him to get sight on our corpses as it was clear that the guy was near them and trying to loot.

The M16 guy was spotted and Tiger(already having looted an M4A3 or sth.) shot him. Good job bro.

We told him to cover the corpses from a high position and wait for us. I respawned at Prigorodgy and Abso at Solnichny quarry.

-Fast forward-

I arrived at the corpses again, Tiger shot another guy (unarmed as we found out then...<.<) in the meantime.

I looted all my previous stuff and also got on a high position to cover the surroundings with Tiger and waiting for Abso.

We told him to approach from behind (North east in that case) as we didnt know if there were even more people attracted.

Then fear struck me as Tiger mentioned a team of 3 approaching the hill from the Southside (were the shooting began).

I didnt know if we 2 could defend the loot against 3 well armed enemys. But we had to try. We had better positions, and they were unaware of us (we were about 200-300 metres away further on the hill and in cover behind trees).

Now these 3 guys made exact the same mistake my team did when we first played, they didnt spread out to much. All going to the first corpse in the middle of a small field. I had perfect sniping position on them.

Should i shoot? M24 only has 5 shots before reloading, not a very good fire rate, and i wasnt used to shoot it (never had one before :P). I had to try!

Shot 1. Body hit. Shot 2. Body hit. They guy bled like hell, but wasnt dead...however i figured he must bleed to death soon and was unable to fire back effectively. So their shock was gone and the were about to move when Shot 3 was fired. Body hit on a second enemy.

They moved. Different directions. Damnit!

I reloaded and got behind my tree again. I spotted 1 running east along the hill. Killed him.

Abso had arrived by now and he wanted a weapon to defend himself. The other 2 guys were nowhere to be seen, but now my killcount suddenly hit 2 (one must have bled to death by then). So 1 guy left. I told Abso to get to the corpse of the guy east from us as i had best vision on that direction.

As he started to go for it i told him to retreat. The last guy came crawling to that corpse. I shot him 1 time, bleeding. Second time (atleast i think i hit as the bleeding got more and i didnt see an impact on the ground near him). But he was still not killed.

Abso YELLED at me and Tiger (btw i didnt cut out any of Tigers action, he just kept conservative thinking that it would be better if the enemy didnt know he was there - he should be proved right now!): A GHILLIE SUIT SNIPER RIGHT ON THE HILL BEHIND YOU!

I turned around, saw him, got into cover. I saw Tiger about 10 metres away from the sniper(good thing Tiger didnt get involved in the shooting before, otherwise the sniper would have known hes position). Both facing each other. Tiger blasted a few shots into him and the bitch disconnected. Even though i didnt see anyone, my friend Abso kept telling us that he was right in front and we should shoot him. But the only one i saw was a guy with starter gear lying there. I asked if he means that guy and shot him once in the back with my 1911. Abso hated me now as it was him. lol. I was so pumped up with adrenalin, shaking, that i couldnt think clear anymore.

Thank god Abso only passed out and i bandaged him and gave him a blood pack. So no worrys.

The 3rd guy of the other team was gone. So Abso grabbed all stuff he needed in record time as we wanted to get the hell out of there.

As we got to the top of the hill and were about to go suddenly a nade impacted somewhere near us (not hurting anyone :) ). We then ran for our lifes, hearing shots fired near that hill.

As we got more and more distance there still were shots.

Probably the fight for Dobryy hill was still going on.

We got out there fine, with a new GPS for me and NVG+ a few medical supplys for Abso + A nice M4A3 for Tiger.

As i type these word i wonder if there is still someone fighting to be king of the hill.

This was the most intense situation in DayZ i ever had. I hate myself for not frapsing it, but ill make sure to do the next time ;)

This story happened on DE1, where the entire server population seemed to fight for Dobryy :) Thanks for reading, i hope you enjoyed.

Wow! You're a really talented writer and I would really want to hear more from you.

You should make a book, because I was trapped to my monitor reading this.

You're really good and continue writing more stories :)

[Xero66 26]

Thanks guys.

I myself think im not too talented in writing, also english is not my first language :P

We checked the same spot again today, saw a few guys but none of them posed a threat to us (unarmed or +500m away) so we decided to chill and dont force any stupid outcome when shooting at that range.

But i remembered to fraps ;) Even though i already deleted it because it was 4gb of utter boringness (just stalking a player :P).

Ill keep you updated if something special gets frapsed ;)

I was 2 days ago at DE1 at dobry and killed 6 people from the hill with an Lee Enfield. Also saw a "red" car enter the area. it was lolz.

[VBS.Redlof.B 43]

Haha, snap.

Sucks to be that guy. Wish I could say I hadn't been there before.

[Xero66 26]

Oh man, i hate myself right now :(

Yesterday me and my mates wanted to move from Cherno up to the north (Stary). On our way we saw Zombies on the long barn buildings...about 600m or so away.

Looking closely i saw Zeds spawn on another barn 100-200m on the right from the other barn. So he must be moving checking the barns and then going into Cherno i thought.

So we got closer and waited. Indeed, on Chernos outskirts Zeds spawned, Guy came down the hill (crawling with Ghillie), i guessed the distance was about 500m and i did one clear shot in his back with the AS50. He didnt even know what hit him, and my mates were like WTF, how can you see a crawling ghillie guy and then 1 shot him on that distance? :P

I wonder why the military didnt want me in RL :P

Oh why i still hate myself you ask? I didnt fraps AGAIN, even though it was not THAT epic, i would have liked it on tape >.< (Why do i tell my mates to remember me pressing F9? :( )
