Story time children.

So I feel like hearing some exciting tales of adventure in dayz from you wonderful people. It doesn't really have to adhere to any specific type of story or situation, as long as it is interesting and worth the read.

I'll start off.

So this happened a few weeks ago while I was playing with my partner, we play kind of a typical spotter/sniper type duo. He handles the close range engagements for the most part and I keep away the long range threats.

So we just log in and decide to meet up in Polana and loot the supermarket for food and general supplies. As we are looting the store I go outside quickly just to take a look around and to my surprise I see.... A tractor! Now I'm usually not a fan of the tractor seeing as how it seats only one person and we are a team of two but since we were so close to the construction site we decide to loot it and fill up the tractor with car parts. We didn't find too much in the construction site other than a bit of scrap metal and various other things.

As we are heading east from the site I notice a bullet whiz by my back tire. I ask my friend "did you just shoot me?" because he was clearing out a few zombies chasing us. Just as he answers "no" I hear more shots ring out and hear them crack near me. I yell out "were being shot at!". I bail out of the tractor and head for cover, terrified. I could only sort of see the general direction of where the shots came from. At this point my heart is pounding, my judgement is severely clouded by the massive rush of adrenaline I'm feeling.

We remain in cover searching for the shooter on the hill to the north of the construction site, the only clue I had to their location was a few zombies heading up the hill. Eventually I come to the realization that the bullets I saw heading towards me were tracers, and from the sound of the gun I deduce that it was a mk 48 mod 0. I decide to make a mad dash for the tractor.

I quickly get to the tractor without receiving any fire, "maybe they left" I think to myself. This thought was completely shattered about 2 seconds later when I hear the mk 48 firing again and hear the all to familiar crack of bullets. Right now I feel like I'm going to either get shot and die or have a heart attack in real life.

Then it gets worse...

I hear another gun ringing out in the distance, it was the unmistakable sound of the DMR. Luckily at this point I'm about 700-800m away from where I think the shooters are.

I breathe a sigh of relief as I reach the treeline. But wait. My friend is still hiding near the construction site. He's too scared to move out of his hiding place. Just as I'm about to run back to provide cover we look at the player list and notice that the two people that had logged in right before we started taking fire had logged out. The server only had about 3 people including us before these people logged in so we figured that they must be the people firing on us.

What I really don't understand is why you would abort when you just had a squad of two people pinned down for about 5 minutes.

tl;dr: found a tractor, got shot at, got scared as fuck, got away, shooters alt+f4'ed.

Heh yeah I love reading stories about people's experiences in DayZ. Sounds like you had a hectic night!

I can't get enough of that sudden sense of dread you feel when you see a player or start taking fire. No other game has made other players feel as dangerous as DayZ.

We were in Elektro at night as new spawns, my partner was on top of the school building opposite the pub and i was in the top level room of the pub , we were having a Friday night session and our drinks were low..her turn to do the ice/coke/rum run. So while she is downstairs looting the fridge i am just looking around and wondering why the hell she left her char standing up in the open when blam! I see blood spurting out of her head and i crouch down shouting at her downstairs..YOU JUST GOT FUCKING SHOT! GET UP HERE WITH THE RUM !

I pop back up and look across where she was and can just see the top of someones head, must be looting her ..raise the enfield and get one shot off before his head dissapears. I wait a few seconds and then think fuck it, i'm a new spawn, lets go rush this dude. Bolt out across the road and up the stairs and run out onto the roof ..dude is dead right next to her..sweet. I didn't even think to look at my debug monitor to see if i got the kill or not. Grab a dmr off him and some other bits n pieces, grab her stuff and head back to the pub.

I get up the stairs with a few zeds behind me and take them out with my 1911, quickly reloading in case of any more i have aggroed and then i am shot by a dude who comes running up the stairs .i run into the very back room and take another shot as i turning the corner and go prone with my dmr out and pointed at the door. Partner is still finishing off making our drinks and of no assistance . So i am prone in this room and bandage at about 3 or 4 thou blood, waiting for this dude to roll in firing from the hip. I throw a smoke out the door hoping it will block him a bit ..he throws a grenade in.

Time for my rum. Good little adrenaline rushed bit of gaming though.

Thank you good sir for actually sharing a story and being constructive to the thread, unlike some others that I will not mention.
