DayZ Mercenaries - Need protection, help or vengeance? Come here!

***This big wall of text is going to be edited until it looks fine and doesn't scare people from reading***

~~~ Introduction ~~~

After getting to the "End game gear" I began to think about how to make the game interesting/fun and not a simple deathmatch.

Since there's already groups for medic assistance, transport and arms dealer I though that maybe a group of mercenaries could work too.

Some friends and myself will be offering "military" help of almost any type to players as a method of giving some goals to the game. For now we are offering help on repairing vehicles (finding parts), escort/body guard and assassination - see description in "Tasks".

This is made to give some goals to the actual "end game" and avoid unnecesary killing. We don't want this to be an excuse for being a bandit, so we offer "peacefull" missions too.

~~~ Payment, tasks and items ~~~

Since there's almost no demand for our service we'll do it for free. If you want to know how it would work with payment, see the spoiler below.

Our payment system has a basic, initial cost which is increased using modifiers listed below.

The type and amount of items depends on how hard is the task to acomplish.

We'll avoid joining servers with 150+ ping if possible.

### Contract initial cost: 1 common item

### Modifiers:

- People online at the moment of joining server

0-20 +0

20-29 +1 Rare

30+ +1 Very rare

*Not accomulative (eg: 32 online doesn't mean +1 rare AND +1 very rare, only the latest)

### Tasks

~Repair help - help for repairing vehicles aka finding missing parts. Also can protect your helicopter while you'r refueling it.

- Wheels/Scrap metal +1 common

- Fueltan/engine +1 rare

- Main rotor +1 very rare (helicopter repair)

- Helicopter refuel +1 rare

(escort/deffence)

~Escort/body guard* - we provide help for solo players or small groups of players who want to be safer in dangerous places. This includes protection for traders/medics.

*We won't go inside the 2 main cities - Cherno/Elektro, but we can help from outside, sniping/counter sniping.

NE area (NE Airfield/Berezino) +1 rare

NW airfield +1 very rare

Stary/Novy Sobor +2 rare

Cover in main cities +1 rare

Raid on Devils Castle +2 very rare

Other castles +1 very rare

**Assuming you'll conract us for this mainly on high pop servers, the server population modifier won't take effect

***Castles are known for being bandit hideouts, therefore we assume that if you want to go there it's because of PvP aka high risk.

~Assassination - if someone's hunting you on your server and you know his ingame name and aproximate coordinates we can kill him for you.

+ 4 Very rare around the map in general

+ 6 very rare around airfields, stary/novy and castles

+ 10 very rare around main cities (we don't like killing newbies/unarmed, but may have to do that in there)

*1/2/3 very rare item(s) must be payed before going into the hunt, the rest is payed after we complete the task.

**If the mission is aborted, we'll give you back the initial payment.

***NO guaranteed success.

~Medical help - some of us are willing to help people who need medical supplies. If you can't find help in the "Need medical Assistance" thread, you can ask here.

- - F R E E - -

*Only if we'r near your area

**Not all of us will accept medical help request, check member list for tasks accepted by each member.

What happens when somebody gives you a rare gun and you fail the job?

[klye32 2]

we give it back

[arkod 9]

We'll give it back.

BUT in first place: we are not asking for guns. Our payment is ammo, guns are considered donations, like if you have a spare AK or something we can store it and use for new recruits.

Also we are not asking for rare guns we are asking for AMMO

How much would sniper cover for a trade be?

[Etherious 907]

DayZ Mercenaries, I am willing to give you tons of guns and ammo just because I wanna be good and helpful towards your organization and if you need ANY supplies just MSG me and btw I added you Arkod.

[arkod 9]

Personally I'd do it for free since there's no other "help request"

I accepted you on steam, not sure if we'll need any guns since noone wants our service :(

Thats not true, in day or two i might contact you for some work. Right now my small group ( 3-4 active players ) is in conflict with another group. Once we were something like 2 squads in one team but few days ago we splitted up. We won almost every firefight with them, but we always manage to take out just few of them and yesterday we lost our van and few of our tents (they stolen it, because today we seen them in that van. We had epic firefight with them at Zub castle - they lost 2, we 0 but they managed to get away with van ) so right now we have limited amount of guns so we switched to "defensive" status and we no longer seek firefights with that other group.

So, my question is could we arrange some sort of a deal? We just want to try take all of them out. We know they will not alt f4 ( atleast i hope to ) because i know them, i played with them for a while. We should be able to know their estimated position one-two times per day, so it would had to be fast action and we could also help you with attack ( you can decide if you want our help, but we would like to :) ).

Im still not 100% sure we will be doing this, i have to discuss it with few mates and we will see. Expect another post from me in day or two :-)

Yes, of course :)

[Jumboperson87 1]

Good enough :)

Bigger the camp, better the feeling of blowing it up.

Is skype really needed? cause I'm thinking about joining but the only thing I don't have (and don't like to use) is skype. I got pretty much every other method for communication such as TS, mumble, xfire, steam, IRC.

Right now Skype is the only program we use for communication. Just because we don't have (and didn't look for) any server for TS/Vent
