Beating Bandits

Use this to share ways to avoid and best bandits.

Go prone in a forest. Log off.

Coming from what i'd call a pretty successful bandit in tight clothing:

Rule#1: Don't be a dumbass.

You see a tent in the middle of Cherno? It doesn't have loot.

You think players are around? Don't run out in the open.

Rule#2: You are NEVER safe.

NEVER assume that you are safe, no matter the time or place. Otherwise, you're gonna get shot in the face.

Rule#3: Fire at the best moment.

You spot yourself a bandit. Don't be an idiot and instantly fire on him if he can't see you. Wait a few minutes and see if he has friends.

Rule#4: Tired of being the prey? Become the predator.

If you want to survive bandits, you must think as a bandit. Where are the high-traffic areas? Avoid them. Where would a bandit hide? Shove a grenade up their ass.

If you read at the top of the Bandit Campfire, it says "and how to avoid them"

[broguenz 333]

Shoot when shot at. A dead bandits easier to avoid.

or run away like a girl

or give them infected to worry about as well and enjoy your suicidal run towards them.

All three work for me less often than I need them too.

1. Don't go near Novy or Stary Sober,
   
2. Don't go near towns where you can see zombies around 200 meters away from the town,
   
3. Don't go to the airfield.
   
4. Don't EVER enter Electro or Cherno
   

Avoid open fields,

Don't go for tents and obviours vechicles

Okay now I know what not to do as a bandit mwahahaha!

So in short stay away for any military spawns? Yea that sounds like fun...

Don't get attached to your gear, you will die along 95% of other people who play.

Good luck and if you find your self with good gear stand in the middle of Cherno saluting. You should be fine...
