Bandits? Cowards!

[ciphra 8]

hehe, why this topic? because I'm goddamn curious!

I mean, being a bandit sounds fucking badass you know, killing with silenced weaponry and ghilly suits 'nd stuff. But no.. I don't see posts like that.. the only thing I see is like 3 categories;

- wanna team up?

- who the fuck killed me?!

- I can trust nobody :'(

i spend one hour on the forum and was like wtf?! are this those scary bandits? 5 guys with full camo, shooting on freshly spawned players from above half a mile?

just curious why, you know?

I am a bandit and yet killed someone with a silenced weapon...

[Sergeant Squatt 58]

To rank up murders and because they have nothing better to do and it's kinda fun

[harley001 315]

This are questions bandits would ask if re spawn was in real life and if heaven has a forum.

[Daemonowner 1]

...Except that many of the threads are about fav weapons and stories of killing people. Many of them are about low tier weapons killing similarly equipped people, but I expect this has to do with the life expectancy and the sorts of people inclined to brag about this sort of thing. There are quite a few of those sorts of threads, but the real bandits are in your base killing your dudes.

Last night I spawned fresh. I got an Enfield. I spent 10 mins stalking a player with a crossbow and a macaroni. Tracked him from the factory to polana. Engaged him in the town, but no hits. He ran, I flanked but lost him. The most intense 5 mins of the game so far. Hunting players takes balls. It's not like that crashed chopper of that tent or that farm barn are gonna shoot back at you. Banditry takes balls.

I found the guy later, dead in town - the walkers got him. I claim the assist, lol. Got knife, canteen, makarov and some other bits. Died at electro 20 mins later.

not all using sniper and ghillie suits, some bandits use Lee Dinnerbell and makarov with only food/water supplies. it is more a question about how much experience you have with the game, how fast you can get the weaps ya want. some ppl like myself can get a new set of NV googles and DMR in an hour or a few from own tents, other camps and friends... some ppl cant get that kind of loot fast and has to get it over a long time

I don't get the point of being a survivor, hiding in a camp all day playing versus extremely lame and buggy zombies? OFC you choose to zerg the shit out of other players, that's the way you get gear quickly and thats the way you have fun.

Theres no better feeling than sniping an average alt + f4 noob, seeing the bullet penetrate his selfish body so quick that he doesn't even manage to press alt before he falls dead to the ground.

Killing unarmed noobs, are you? Then you, Sir, are a coward. :bandit: I will hunt your camping ass down with my hatchet and park it in your head.

I think you are all getting me wrong. I'm not saying killing other ppl is wrong, or noob, but the way it happens, 7 out of 10 times is.. I see few people post an awesome story of how they spotted a ghilly, chased him around and killed him with a makarov headshot from 75 meter. I only see people bragging about how they killed a guy with a goddamn flashlight from 560 meter with an SVD camo. Or how I hear stories about people who gave a blood transfusion to get shot right after. those kinda things aren't banditry, thats cowardly..

I dont mind the bandits, they make the game more interesting... my only problem is that they are the people who Alt + F4 all the time. I dont know how many times it has been like this

I yell "Friendly!"

They shoot and miss.

I shoot back and wound.

They disconnect, so they dont lose their "days and murders" count.

That's not just bandits, it's survivors too. Every category has people doing Alt + F4.

A real bandit is someone looking for camps, vehicles, and high level gear players. I spend most of my time North of Stary looting the NWAF, killing NWAF looters, and looking for clans to mess with (who usually put bases on the edge of the map in the North, come on guys you would have better luck putting it somewhere in the middle of the map). If I see somebody running around with a pistol and no primary on their back I might just leave them alone as long as they do not see me. If someone actually makes it up north rocking a hatchet I will kill them just to teach them a lesson not to mess around that far up with such pathetic gear. Killed a guy in the NWAF barracks the other day who had only a M1911 on him, but he might have been on a loot run and made that choice on purpose.

[ImGoodOk 14]

Killing and being a bandit are different. Just because you kill someone with a silenced gun does not make you a bandit. Being a bandit is a fucking art and a skill that most of these 12 year old "OMG I r sniped u I am bandit" punks dont understand. And then people who get all pissed about spawn killing wannabe bandits make it worse.

Well thats the way some people want to play the game its not cowardly its other people having fun in a game i enjoy it quite alot when i team up with someone only to shot them in the back of the head when there bent over a pile of loot.

GUZ DIS ONE TUME I SHOOTED DIS GUH WITH MEH SNIPR RIFE

To the guys on X server - HAHA WE KILLED YOU LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[Teskuz 5]

If you look past theese minors (e.g people below 16 mostly) who runs around firing at everything in their sight, the bandits are rarely as cheap as survivors. Sure we might be laying in a bush waiting for you to come by, but most of the time, we're the ones tracking you down and you're the one who's hiding.

Honestly, survivors are to kill zombies... BRAAAVEE!! Shooting at brainless freaks without guns, and you call bandits cowards?

To all of you "bandit haters" out there, how fun would the game be if you never risked getting shot at? Laying in a bush all day, camping inside a firestation with 15 other in hope to be the first guy who loots that legendary zombie-slayer-weapon.. ?

As a non-bandit, I think banditry does make this game fun. Earlier tonight I ran from a guy in Elektro. I bluffed, saying I had an M16 (I did) and that it was loaded (it wasn't). Ended up running for my damned life. Made it to the firestation, picked up an AK and some ammo, and promptly lost my internet connection because of a thunderstorm. No idea if I've still got that AK. But that bandit? Honestly, that made the game more fun then I've ever had running from a zombie.

there is no survivor killing only zombie's. Every player has killed another player. I'm a survivor to, still have 2 murders in this life, and 3 kills not listed as a murder (2 guys started firing at me, 1 I think he alt + f4, or just didn't count as a murder). the reason you make the kills defines what you are. killing out of self defense, or to secure the only can of food left in the store <- survivor. killing for fun, or to loot the body for supplies <- bandit

I'm not against bandits at all, if I wouldn't have such bad fps drops, I would be a bandit too. it just makes me unable to have a steady and smooth aim, for longer then a minute. I might also not be able to be a real bandit, because I feel really bad when I kill unarmed, or nearly unarmed players..

but as you said, you like the thrill of hunting players, to get shot at. you say that is part of banditry. but why are there 'bandits' who shoot the unarmed? thrill of getting in his spotlight?

Reality is, everybody with a gun will try to kill you. Everybody without a gun will try to get a gun to kill you. I have yet to come across anyone who actually has been "friendly".

When I used to play solo (before playing with my friends) I had a lot of "marvel team ups" that lasted one session. My favorite was a supermarket full of friendlies, but the server itself started getting super buggy and we parted ways after like 30 minutes.

I'd be totally willing to team up with a survivor if I could ever find one that didn't immediately start shooting on sight, despite my lack of anything but a bandage. But just as you said, I too have not found a single friendly person in this game myself. Kinda defeats the purpose of having a divide between bandits and survivors.

To the OP, I know exactly what you mean. I'm not completely sure why I still spend my work days on this forum, because it's all the same crap. I'm all for the bandit aspect of this game, in fact it's what intrigues me the most, but it really does become senseless when everybody is just going to shoot anything on sight. There is no balance between the good and the bad, so it's basically just an open world FFA with zombie obstacles in the mix. Which is fun for a while, but ultimately will kill the longevity of the game.

[MRJOEYBON 18]

I see two categories:

Those who don't ambush me

Those who ambush me. Most bandits i've met have been the latter. What were you doing hiding over there, Johnny Appleseed? What were you doing?

[aru_azif 70]

trust me the "real" bandits won't be posting here to brag about their amazing woop tie do 1 hit .50 call kill that they made at elektro.

no they will be raiding your base without you knowing it . or helping other people at the forums. cause real bandits don't simply kill to kill we aint murders. we're bandits. and the smart bandits will not shoot everyone on sight.

it would be like a trading post to ripoff people. you can ripoff everyone and run out of people visiting. or be subtle ripoff someone ones in a while to keep it subtle and denie the existence of the ripoff cause what can this one person do ? he's just mad and jelly. if you catch what i mean :)

[aru_azif 70]

Double post fck yea

feel free to hit me up, i'd gladly proof you wrong about how you think about most players(bandits)

anyway just pm me when you want to roll together with me at some point :)
