SoWeMeetAgain 100 Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Hello!I just spawned in Balota, went to the airfield, found an AK74U (my favorite AK!) and proceeded to the barracks(**I mean hangar**).In there I saw someone with a hero skin (I myself have one, too), shouted "I'm friendly, don't shoot" just as he pumped the first round into me with a remington shotgun.I went into cover and brought my sights up, he walked around the cover and shot at me again, breaking my legs and bringing me below 1000 blood. However I was able to shoot him dead, yay!I managed to bandage myself to 126,38 blood and noticed I got a bandit kill... but he clearly had a hero skin!Unable to move, waiting for my buddy, I see him(??) getting into the hangar again, this time with a bandit skin and a hatchet. As he runs for me, I gunned him down again. Unfortunately that aggro'd some zombies and even though I was sure I hit them before they reached me, one bloodied me and I died.Was a fun event.But now to the question - anyone see a bandit with a hero skin? Is that possible? Could it have been that him shooting at me made him into a bandit but not yet changing his skin? Maybe he shot other people before me and didn't yet get the bandit skin? When exactly do you get that, right away or at the next spawn?have a nice DayZ!greetings Edited August 26, 2012 by SoWeMeetAgain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I put on a ghillie suit it resets the stats. Then if I kill a bandit or two, depending on how negative their humanity is I will become a hero. But, if you kill me the murder or bandit kill is based upon my real humanity with that character which would give you a bandit kill. Mystery solved.Have fun!!

Almost ever "unexplained" answer is "Must be a hacker". It's like mass hysteria. Edited August 26, 2012 by Rogue1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
