A very lucky day in DayZ.

[ocelot07 60]

Ok little story for you all. So my character died 2 days ago due to someone hacking. So yesterday I started again. Got my self to Cherno and found my self a M1911 pistol and a tin of beans and 2 cans of pepsi a hatchet and some matches. I hear some gun shots so I get out of Cherno.

I then got to Elektro and went to the office building and called it a night. I then resumed where I left off an hour ago and start searching for supply's in the office building. To my surprise I fined a winchester and some ammo for it. At this point I was so happy I found a decent weapon. I then find a pair of binoculars. I head to the roof of the building and have a quick look around. As am about to get of the roof I see something crawling in the grass heading towards a house across the big open field.

I get my newly found binoculars out and see what is crawling in the field. It was another player. I kept on watching him until he gets to the house. He turns around and sits by the house. Another player sits next to him. I noticed this one was carrying a sniper rifle. The guy with the sniper gets his binoculars and looks in my direction. I then see him out his binoculars down. I thought to my self he is going to get that sniper and shoot me. So I get of the roof and hide in one of the rooms.

A few minutes has passed and I thought I should try getting out of here and run towards the church. So I get by the doorway and prepair to run waiting for a Zombie to walk past. I then noticed the zombie ran like he was aggro. I then take a peep around the corner and see the zombie shot down as he got by the supermarket. I then noticed someone trying to crawl out of the super market. It was the Sniper I saw a few minutes ago. They must of came down here to find me. Now here is where the luck kicked in. I noticed the other guy on the floor behind the sniper. So I took my chance and shot the sniper and killed him in 1 hit. I then got back inside and went to the back door as at this point I attracted a lot of zombies due to the noise of the winchester. Luck striked again instead of the guy behind the sniper get up and run. He started looting the sniper so wile he was looting the sniper I took the opportunity to put a few shots into him with the winchester. I then run over to the supermarket and lay prone for a minute until all the zombies had given up searching.

I then go over to the 2 bodies to find a Alice pack. A lot of food and drink. Map,Watch,Compass,NV goggles, Military flash light, G17 pistol with plenty of ammo and a AS50 sniper rifle with a lot of ammo.

Obviously I am very happy with my new weapons and a backpack full of ammo and food and drink. But I am a little gutted as 1, It is the first time I have killed people without giving them the chance to say Friendly. 2, I now have a towel on my head (I killed another 2 last night as they where chasing me with hatchets) am guessing this makes me a bandit?

The reason I am so happy with the items I have gotten is its the first time I have ever seen a sniper rifle in this game. As from what I understand is you can only get these in the North West Airfield? I have never been to the NorthWest Airfield before and I don't I will be heading there any time soon as is that not a PvP area?

Yep, I know the feeling! :lol:

Plus yes, you are a bandeeta now.

[flexho 78]

Chernarus is a PvP area.

[bezerker 11]

yes auto bandit :P but gz on the gear and the well played kills makes a change for the snipers to be taken down in citys :)

And that is why we don't run into the middle of Elektro for scraps in a grocery store whilst carrying high value loot.

[Tfortacos (DayZ) 41]

Northwest isn't a PVP area it's just a hotspot.

Lots of players visit Mostly to loot them place, you're better off looting crashed helicopters or if you're going to the NW go with a group.

I guess no one is going to trust me now when they see me due to the towel on my head :(. Guess Ill have to keep to the shadows. All I need now is a ghillie suit. Also Bezerker I know what you mean. I have been playing this game for nearly 2 weeks now and I have died more time by getting shot by snipers than I have by zombies. Am guessing the guys I killed where newish to the game as Hydra said why risk going into super markets with all this good gear. Wile I have this equipment am going to stick to the forest so I can get my food via killing animals and getting water from lakes.

Actually people still do trust you. I ran into the elektro church with a pistol in hand and my -120,000 humanity and chatted a random guy up who was in there. Suddenly saw a guy with a hatchet sprint across the opening, followed by like 10-15 zombies. He ran into the market and I followed. To kill 'em? Nope. I shot all the zombies right in the face with my pistol :P

Basically - They'll trust you if you aren't geared. Otherwise they'll kill ya and rape you for your loot ;)
