My First Cold Blooded Sniper Kill

Recommended Posts

Been playing Day Z for a while and never really a big fan of the whole banditry thing just seemed too easy. I'd always just been a lone survivor for the most part, hadn't came across many friendlies. Well I've just recently built myself up a camp with two vehicles and I have almost every gun in the game, 5+ NVG's, few range finders. etc..

I've murdered people don't get me wrong but it was for survival rather than just the hell of it. I decided however to give it a bash and grabbed a L85 and AS50 then headed north. I decided to take up the only real sniper spot I know of in the game at Zelenogorsk and as soon as I got there I noticed zeds. Saw a player running down towards the supermarket, not being a bandit or used to this I was kind of panicky but got my range, followed him with the L85 till he was in the supermarket then pulled out my AS50.

I saw him standing right in the doorway and noticed he had an M14, had he been a freshspawn I might've spared him but I took the shot but didn't see his body fall so I sat and waited not knowing if I'd killed him, it was a hardcore server so no death notification came up. I saw a zombie attack which made me think he was alive but he hadn't moved so I went down to check.

Can only offer apologies to Makuu but I at least left his gear though I did help myself to some of his tasty beans.

As for my first bandit kill - the experience was fun but I just don't find enough pleasure in being fully geared up and killing pointlessly from a distance. I think next time I try this sniper bandit thing I'll go out with nothing but a CZ 550 and basic supplies. That way the killing actually has a purpose :)

Just think that if he was in your place he probably would have enjoyed killing you.

I enjoyed killing him just not as much as some might've :L and I could see it getting really stale pretty quickly.

Don't say sorry.

But I frown upon you for your AS50 and L85.

Pussy guns.

I rarely have the opportunity to use my guns. Figured I'd pick the best I had. But yeah for aimless killing high grades no fun.
