I shot at my first players tonight

[horrgakx 11]

I was coming into the south west side of Berezino under bright moonlight just looking for loot and staying out of sight. I spotted there were zombies around a cattle shed too far away for me to have spawned them so I approached cautiously. I have 4 clips for my M4A1 CCO so it was loaded and ready to go.

I saw two ghillie-suited guys walking out of the shed and across the road in the direction towards Berezino hospital so I dropped in behind them. They were crouched and going slow, I could afford to run while crouched so I closed the gap quickly. I suddenly became aware that my heart was JUMPING out of my chest and I lined up the shot and fired about 4 shots for each of them. I hit one nicely but probably wounded the other, I heard cries of pain. I turned and ran like the big chicken I am :)

A few seconds later I got a message that someone had died so I don't know if it was me who killed him or just someone else on the map. But that was my most intense moment yet!! :ph34r:

hahaha i certainly appreciate your honesty! i felt about hte same way the first time I took shots at a player. certainly is thrilling, isn't it?

lol well done sir

[horrgakx 11]

Thanks for the comments.

See normally I would have just given them a wide berth and continued on my way or offered to help. But I've been shot too many times in the back when I didn't even pose a threat ... so I just thought "f'k it".

The game has turned me evil :bandit:

All of the times I was shot while saying "friendly" were worth the first friendly encounter I had.

I used to be like that... Now I only announce my presence if I've got cover and my rifle pointed at their head. If they move to look for me or don't respond, I fire. Tired of getting shot while yelling out 'friendly' and losing decent gear.

Nice it's pretty fun killing players. You should of stayed hidden and watch the other guy but I know how intense it is.

I should also have said in my original post that early on in my looting I found a Mountain Dew. My heart sank as I had learned of the curse. BUT I defied it, picked it up and drank the contents. After that I had a surprisingly good night on DayZ finding some untouched loot locations and it ended in firing at the two guys I drivelled about in my original post.

Nice man. For future reference, if you want to confirm your kill, check the debug window. If you killed a player, a number higher than zero will be next to the "Murders" or "Bandits killed"

[horrgakx 11]

Just for reference, I noticed that I have a Murder tally of 1.

I'm off to read up on what the Humanity figure is and how it affects me...

Sounds like what happens when I take a potshot at a player.

*MACHINE GUN FIRE*

"Shit, did he just get behind cover?"

-Waits a few seconds-

"No death message? Fuck this I'm out"

-Proceed to run away like a pansy, zig zagging and sprinting-
