feeldope 6 Posted September 17, 2012 I realized something today when a hidden shotgunner emptied two shells of pellets into my unarmed person. I realized that killing on sight is not what I thought prior to be simple caveman logic. Killing on sight is the only survival strategy that cannot fail. As long as you are observant, patient and skillful you cannot die by any legitimate means. You are invincible so long as you know what you're doing. That being said, I don't know completely what I'm doing. I make mistakes constantly and die because of them. Through practice I will become better and eventually will be unable to be killed. It is then that I will truly reach endgame.With all of that out, know that I do not kill people simply because I see them and I can take the shot. Never will I become the sniper on the hill near Elektro, or the Balota camper. If a player is not in my way, that player does not need to die.If you're going to go about shouting "friendly", good luck. You're going to be reading "You Are Dead" much more often than I am. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted September 17, 2012 The "You are Dead" screen is the only "Endgame" i see left now... but i see how your tactics are fee sable, Only problem you will have now is groups. groups tend to love solo survivors of all levels.

Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521 Posted September 17, 2012 Meh hatcheting becomes a little too "personal at times" I prefer just to take a shot from a bit of a range and move on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kryvian 123 Posted September 17, 2012 it still is a caveman approach, I mean if I bump into someone I'm sure we'd both be trigger nervous, but I've started to develop the go back and hide/talk over direct chat to see what his intentions are, then I unload FN FAL mags in him if he is hostile.

Littleassassin2 73 Posted September 17, 2012 With all of that out, know that I do not kill people simply because I see them and I can take the shot. If you imply you are sniping, i hate you. Get a real gun and run around cherno mass murdering everyone. Tis the real bandit life right there, creating hell and havoc everywhere you go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
