chris p. bacon 182 Posted August 30, 2012 I'm not saying that banditry doesn't have it's moments, because it certainly does. I was recently a bandit and worked hard to earn the hero skin. I was swaggering about Elektro in a populated nighttime server with my NVGs, when I came across another hero. He also had NVGs. We did the standard Q and E dance to show our good intentions, when an M107 shot rang out and struck right in front of the other hero. We both bolted into the schoolhouse. I had my L86A5 AWS, and he had a DMR. He told me to go to the roof and lie down. I went up to the top roof. The sniper was using an M107, so he couldn't land a shot anywhere near me, though I did hear a few shots go off. I thermal'd the area and found where the sniper was, to the far right of the infamous triple pine trees. He had a ghillie suit and was scoping the area with binoculars or rangefinders. I pressed L and turned on the laser-designation-thing on the gun. My DMR wielding friend took the shot, came short, then fired two more which hit the mark. The thermal reading on the sniper faded.I scored a GPS and a ghillie suit. My new friend got a rangefinder and M9SD.This is one of the most exciting experiences I've had so far, despite the stupidity of the sniper, and it was all thanks to the hero skin. As a bandit it was a free for all for gear. As a hero there is much less shooting on sight, and a common goal. To any of you who haven't tried out the hero skin, do it. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skat3rat 1633 Posted August 30, 2012 I'm going for the Hero skin. I did shoot someone out of defense because I freaked out, turns out they were a bandit but I still lost all my humanity. I do enjoy it when I come across friendly players. Gives me hope for the community. I don't think I'll ever be one of those Heros that run from city to city helping people but I still want to be a Hero who helps someone out that needs it.

about40sheep 19 Posted August 30, 2012 killing people that kill people is okayso, would it then be okay if I was to kill you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris p. bacon 182 Posted August 30, 2012 killing people that kill people is okayso, would it then be okay if I was to kill you?The point is, we were attacked. If I attacked you and you decided to kill me it would be completely acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bash Arkin 266 Posted August 30, 2012 I honestly find banitoness better, but there is a touch of honor with the way i work, i perfer to let my prey know i'm there, and give them a chance. Rather then attacking unarmed civis, or sniping people from miles away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I attacked you and you decided to kill me it would be completely acceptable.yes, all of that can happen while being a bandit as wellI honestly find banitoness better, but there is a touch of honor with the way i work, i perfer to let my prey know i'm there, and give them a chance. Rather then attacking unarmed civis, or sniping people from miles away.yeah, I only kill people with weapons out. My goal in this game is to get my zombie/murder/bandit kills as high as I can. anyone with a weapon out is a threat to my goal in this gamehatchets included if you're coming at me. I don't kill unarmed people starting on the coast, that's not even fun Edited August 30, 2012 by about40sheep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnnieGYG 32 Posted August 30, 2012 As a +29,400 hero it certainly feels a lot harder and it seems, in my opinion, a lot more skill is needed to avoid killing people than shooting on sight, therefore the rewards feel so much better whilst conducting raids/med resupplies.I'm sure people have fun on both sides of this game, but for me there's nothing to beat the buzz of a player passing yards from you when you've got your sights aimed on his head and him not even knowing you were there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KillCam96 26 Posted August 30, 2012 I'm trying! I got to like 4800 humanity, then I had to kill a hacker out of self defence, he had friends :( they had to die, which also lowered humanity, I'm back at 1500 :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vukster@gmail.com 75 Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) Being a hero is really not that hard, get a friend to join you, raid a hospital and just blood bag repeatedly. Anyone else think blood bags and NOT antibiotics ought to be more rare? Edited August 30, 2012 by vukster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyone else think blood bags and NOT antibiotics ought to be more rare?I know, that pisses me off. Blood bags should be very rare, especially compared to antibiotics. About the time 1.7.2.5 was released, I saw some asshole shoot a guy in the leg, bloodbag him, morphine him, and repeat. I killed that guy and that's how I first became a bandit. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
