The Thrill

[MrYoubs 4]

(This brief tale is told with the forewarning that my group and I are reasonably new to DayZ, and what may have meant a night of fun for us may be lame to you guys)

So one night a group of 3, myself included decided to spent hour upon hour in post apocalyptic Russia with nothing other than drinking endless tea and surviving Cheranus on our mind.

Fancying myself as a reasonable shot with the Lee Enfield, my partner and I were perched near the fire station/barn/power plant in Elektro. He was acting as my spotter with the binos whilst we waited for our 3rd comrade to make his way over from the far south west of Elektro.

Having shot two enemies near the two story grey structure and being slightly bored, we made our way over there. Having looted them we sat there for a couple of minutes, and just as we prepared to return to our initial position, i saw a player running around 150m away in a ghillie suit. When i saw the tag "admin" a nasty grin spread wide over my face, and pondering whether to risk it or not i drew my enfield. 3 missed shots from my buddy meant it wasnt looking good, however i managed to headshot him in one. Completely astounded as i saw him drop, obviously i had been blessed my more luck than skill.

Just as we prepare to leave again to return to the barn, we hear on skype "YOU BASTARD".

As it turns out, our friend had been watching from a viewpoint with binos (as we'd informed him what was going on), and "CJ" had ccrawled up and hatched him repeatedly yelling obscenities as our guy pleaded "friendly".

BIG MISTAKE CJ.

We grouped up again 15 minutes later, watching the shop/church/fire station/powerplant/school from a great vantage point near the barn north east of elektro and began killing raiders.

I had my weapon of choice for low level pvp, my enfield, partner 2 had an enfield also, and partner 3 had a shotgun.

I spot a group of 4 running at the church and instantly drop 1.

2 then scarper into the church and one runs behind a wall.

Peeping his head out was a mistake as partner 2 drops him with surprisingly brilliant precision.

Mexican standoff begins with the boys in the church.

I crawl around to get a better angle, whilst partner 2 sits and watches, reporting movement inside, and 3 prepares to LEEEEROOYYYY with the shotgun.

Seeing one man pop his head above the pew inside i remove it from his shoulders, and partner 3 charges, the noise from the last man's mic as my friend lit him up with two double barreled rounds was... disturbing.

Once inside the church we hole up for shits and giggles. I randomly pick up a wire fencing kit and place it down to make space for something in my bag. Randomly and by the grace of god it ends up perfectly placed, blocking the entrance and the right and middle isle of the church in front of the first pew, meaning any storming attackers would have to run in and sprint right having comprehended the barbed wire's structure.

3 minutes later: "friendly" as someone crawls in.

As the guy clearly has nothing and we didn't feel like being dicks, we call him forward asking if he needs anything.

As he talks my friend just says... "hold on... is that... THAT'S CJ!!"..

The speed and accuracy of the three bullets that went into his head with smug grins in the next second was worthy of this story. Such gratification of vengeance is partly why i love this game.

The next 4 hours contained similar standoffs and wars between a few groups in that tiny area. I love this game.

I love when these sorts of things happen. Just today my squad somehow found ALL of its members inside the front of the Elektro hospital when we started taking fire... All except for me, due to me having problems sorting my inventory.

I hear the group firing say something around the lines of "Whatchu' guys doin' in our hospital? Don't you know it's ouuuurs?"

My guys were obviously flipping a shit on TS, and I fucking GINGERLY walk up behind the attacking group, a pack of 5.

I yell "Spread yo' legs, daddy's HERE!" as I light them up with my MK 48 like a Christmas tree.

All of them sufficiently dead, I walk through the alleyway and tell my buddies to "calm their tits" through direct chat. We went home that day safe, warm, and aroused.

It is absolutely great isn't it! Especially when you get revenge on a dishonorable kill/bad mannered move. It makes the 20 min spawn runs, shots in the back by "new players" you help/gear up all worth it.

Sounds hilarious; would've given you some serious man points if you'd tried to take them out with a hatchet though ;p

Awesome story! Kudos for not D/Cing like a bitch, wish my friends played DayZ.

Thanks man, it's really fun telling others exciting shit like this! You're right, its great with friends! Was with a good partner of mine all day today, we were owning it up in Cherno and some motherfucker comes in to the medical tents and rips us apart from behind, due to server lag i get out with broken leg, fracture and 500 blood and falling. Bandage + morphine + painkillers + a sprint for the treeline (animals, raw steak, fire, cooked meat, 12000 easy blood) which my me shit my pants the entire way, was so close that i went and geared up my friend and we are hunting him again :D
