Small Comfort. My first Bandit Encounter.

[dr' 1]

I thought I would share my story about my first encounter with a bandit.

On one of my first visit to the shores Chernarus it was night. Being new I had little to no idea of what to do or where go. I met a friendly player in Kamenka MATT who told me over chat to open a map in my steam overlay. Being back in 1.6.0.1 we had flares and Markovs but are fresh out of clues. Zelo was to the north so we ran for ages through the night until we made it to the Supermarket, finally a place with some (obvious) loot. Being new I was throwing flares everywhere.

Suddenly over direct chat

UNKNOWN "Friendly in Zelo store?"

ME "Yes we're friendly come and join us"

Standing in the back room with MATT I see a figure appear at the window, LIAM. The flares are glowing I can see him clearly, he is close.

Liam stands at the window for a second, looking right at me. This can't be good.

"PAP"

I take a bullet and fall Unconscious. My friend MATT probably deep in his loot menu makes no moves, I see LIAM turn slowly and deliberately.

"PAP PAP PAP"

MATT was killed.

The hourglass obscures my view but I can see the door open and LIAM moves in to loot. New players are so trusting, easy picking. He must be so proud of himself.

But LIAM must be new too because I am not dead yet and the timers almost up.

With his face now buried a loot menu I regain conciousness. LIAM only used one bullet on me, I use a whole clip on him.

The Markov spits revenge into his back and he crumples to the floor. Revenge is sweet.

No bandages and all the commotion had stirred the natives. It's time to die.

It's ok though. Don't get attached they say, plus I'd rather have my guts chewed up by one of those rabid freaks than die to a piece of shit like you LIAM.

Small comfort.
