My transformation from Bandit to Hero, and my insane night.

[Puffy 64]

I was a bandit. I just killed everything I came across. Anything. I was so blind, though. I never thought being like this, like them, what I considered NORMAL, would be so much better. A few days ago, I vowed on my beans to change my ways. I was an inspired person, just by looking at the epicness of the hero skin. With the help of friends and some friendly survivors in Elektro, I bloodbagged my way from -22k humanity to 5k. Once I had the skin, I ran around Cherno with a hatchet trying to bandit kill. That didn't go over well, so I grabbed a Winchester and an Alice pack and went to my clan's camp. Didn't get much there, but I helped them for a few days. That sidetracked my heroism.

TODAY

I went on a loot circle from Stary to the NWAF, hitting 3 heli sites on the way. I picked up an AS50, only to switch it out for an M24 later that day. Once I was geared, M24, all tools, Coyote pack, med supplies, food, water, ready to HELP people, I went back to Cherno. There, going through a field about 1 kilo north of the city, I got sniped by an AS50. I heard the clicks, and was lucky enough to spawn in Prigorodki. I ran in, grabbed my gear off my body, and ran back. I circled Vysota, the only possible other sniper position they could use, and wound up 10 meters behind them. Heart racing, but I've learned not to shake my hands when that happens anymore. I'd never used a grenade before. Never, not even practice throws with flares. I took a shot in the dark with it and ran like hell. When I went back after the explosion, they were both KO'd. I aimed, and shot with my M24. They both died. My first bandit kills. They had the L85 I was looking for. I was ready to bandit hunt. But.... I couldn't resist the urge. I took the AS50 TWS they were using. They had to have stolen it off of a hacker, and not be hackers themselves, because one of the 2 only had basic gear. Rocket once said that if you don't spawn it in, it's fair game though... Their friend spawned right in front of me and started shooting me. (Idiot, heroes don't take 9mm bullets) With an M9. I just sat there and let him pump in the shots. He said over direct chat "WTF ARE YOU" whenever his 30 shots to the face didn't kill me. I said, "I'm Cherno's salvation." and shot him in the knee. He KO'd, I ran away with my newly acquired guns and am now counter-sniping in Cherno. Being the Hero is a tough job, but somebody has gotta do it. This has been the wildest Day I have ever lived. I fucking love being a Hero. I saved at least 15 people from those AS50s today. If I could have recorded it, I would have, but I have a horrible laptop incapable of handling fraps and DayZ.

You, that bandit that camps the coast with an AS50 and rangefinders. If I see you camping MY town, I'll kill you. Nobody gets past this hero, at least nobody that kills unarmed players on the coast. Enjoy your One-Shot-One-Kill while you can, because you'll be my One-Shot soon enough. :D

I hate how other people are so rare to find, that you wont know if the guy is actually a bandit, but hasn't killed in a while. The humanity shouldn't start rising over time. Only good deeds should raise humanity.

I understood most of that except for you not taking damage from a 9mm and taking 30 rounds to the face. what's that all about?

[DYLAN ALONE 4]

Genuinely great story.

[Ajvkorn 72]

This I like - I so want an M24 but can I frikkin find one?? ;)

BTW how many shots does it take to kill someone with an AS50 - I was at NW airfield with a buddy yesterday, he got sniped and I had the AS50/Ghillie. So as he was by the barracks and I was up on the hill I found his killer and lined up and fired expecting the guy to die right away. I was surprised when he didn't go down and hit him again as he turned toward me, then he still didn't go down and I fired a thrid shot. All shots confimed on target then almost immediately after that I get killed by another guy (I was hiding in a tree) - I suspect cheating going on since I died in one shot and what shot me wasn't an M107/as50 - sounded almost silenced,.

The bullet proof vest on the Hero skin is (partially) functional. It's only resistant to 9mm rounds, so basically only a few pistols. And for the record, he was exaggerating. You do take damage from these bullets still, just less than the average survivor.

Oh.

Server please.

@Light: You get shock, and that is all.

If you're a hero, above 5k humanity, you don't take damage from 9mm rounds. So almost any side-arm is useless.

[taco241 393]

wow I didn't know the no damage thing from 9mm. Thanks for that info.
