For those who wish to see how the Hero skin looks like :)

[Icharus (DayZ) 13]

A lot of people have been asking to see a clear picture of the skin so I thought It would be nice to share :) After all, the skin does look pretty bad ass.

As you may or may not know, in the 1.7.2.5 they have brought back the Bandit skin and introduced the Hero skin as well as re introducing humanity. I am not 100% sure but I believe you need -6000 humanity to get a bandit skin and +6000 to get the Hero skin. Bandits get a headscarf and Heroes get Kevlar, fingerless gloves and the neck scarf.

The Hero Skin does not show up with either Camo or Ghillie clothing (Confirmed by myself), although I am unsure about the Bandit scarf.

Good luck getting your own hero or bandit skin.

(Will post Bandit when I can take a screenie)

Edit: Shots from behind :)

P.S I had to change from a Ghille skin to take these pictures so my Humanity if 0. This happens when you change skin, log in for the first few minutes and possibly when you change backpack. It will come back after 5-10 minutes :)

How do i get that skin? I seen big foot before.

[Icharus (DayZ) 13]

Obvious troll is obvious :)

A bandit skin with +2500 humanity?

Don't think so.

I have -100k+ humanity. I know what the bandit skin looks like, it does not look like that.

If you have the 1.7.2.5 patch you will notice that you have a new icon in your Debug which is "Humanity"

It's like how good you are as a player. If you go round blood bagging people, bandaging and giving morphine and what not your humanity rises. I have just been told you get the skin when you get 5000 humanity.

On the other side if you keep killing survivors or heroes your humanity will decrease and when you get to -5000 humanity you get the bandit mask. Hope that helps :)

My friend took the picture, if you look closely on the debug you will see he is called Lokus. Besides my Tags do show up clearly on the picture. If you want I can take another picture of the back of the skin and upload it with my own character :)

Edit: Whoops, nevermind. Misunderstood what you were saying :)

In the first screenshot it says you have a M4A1 CCO, but you are carrying what looks to be an AK Kobra...?

Edit: I'm retarded, another person is taking the screenshot.

I re-spawned with that 'hero' skin after dying recently so im not sure if its related to humanity. Also the bandit skin is kinda messed up as it disappears when your humanity rises. So you have to be an absolute murdering psychopath to keep the bandit skin...

It's bugged to all hell right now. It's supposed to be tied to humanity but, you know how it is.

I cannot wait to get that Hero skin thought for real. It's just so cool.

i believe that's the intention behind those skins. it's not a "reward" or "medal" you get to keep after killing countless people, it should reflect your playstyle, visible for others. i think the skins are a great thing.

[Andrej Dudev 50]

Are the skin textures from PMC like the normal survivor one, right?

I'd like to see it with decent textures :rolleyes:

[A Bush killed me 189]

Dont get too attached to it. I think it is terrible.

[Andrej Dudev 50]

If you're talking about the "hero" skin, it's clearly better than the usual survivor skin. It feels more dirty for someone adapting to a harsh world where other peoples shoots at you and where you have to be covered from the weather.

The standard survivor skin feels like "oh hey, I'm a business man with a gilet and a hat".

They brought this crud back? Boo! Whiners always win I suppose.

For a minute there I thought you were whining about them reintroducing a feature you don't like. But then I realised that your opinion is always correct, so people with other opinions are the only whiners. Phew. I'll have to fix my hypocrisy detector, it was going mad when I read your post for some reason.

Also, I'm not 100% sure that is a Hero skin. My friend just upgraded, and while he's not a bandit, he's most certainly not a hero. His humanity was definitely lower than mine, but he had this skin for one of his lives. I'm on 3010 humanity and have the standard one, while he had 0 after the upgrade.

So pretty much everybody then. :)

I think it's a really good idea, I would be less likely to shoot someone wearing a hero skin. Wouldn't at all unless he shot first. Would shoot at a bandit straight away though!

Looks can be deceiving my friend.. I have the bandit skin but all of my murders right now are from people that shot 1st. It could also be the other way around, somebody could have the hero skin for being his bandit squads medic.. Don't let somebodies outfit determine if you let your guard down or not.

[smallhil 26]

After 1.7.2.5 I started with a humanity of 2500 and that same skin as the OP. I thought it was the new survivor skin. I'm be no means a hero, never bandaged someone else just didn't kill a lot of players, maybe 2 or 3 since early May. Been playing and getting killed a lot tough :) .

[Kay (DayZ) 8]

I think I can safely confirm that there's no female version of the hero skin at this point.

Bah!

[Icharus (DayZ) 13]

I don't wanna argue whether or not the skins needed to be introduced/reintroduced, I'm just here to post the pictures so you lovely people can see what its about :) Although I do agree they need to tweak the Humanity system, the Hero skin looks badass so I don't mind too much :)
