Counter-bandit mission

Helped 2 players in Cherno on a mission to take down bandits by offering fresh spawn care packages. We headed out and then soon heard some shots fired from the direction we came from, probably killing our fresh spawn aid recipients. We rallied together to ambush the approaching bandit. A survivor that was with our squad was quickly killed standing in the open and we charged in for an attack. Unfortunately, the squad was killed in action and the bandits won this time…

Loot mission

We were looting the Berezino police station when a survivor spawned into the server right in front of us. We were already kitted up but were looking for food before we started a bandit hunting mission. We offered the spawning survivor to loot the police station, but we needed the food.

Soon after, we had contact from behind the police station. A medium kit survivor with a weapon drawn was closing in on us and creeping. He fired at one of our squad and we quickly dropped him without any casualties.

Bandit Hunting- Elektro

Shady, Derrel and Swear set up observation overlooking Elektro.
Witnessing two lightly armed players near the grocery store exchange fire and flee, we were unable to determine who the instigator was. Immediately after this, Derrel notices a heavily armed player hiding in an evergreen tree. While Swear and Derrel are moving to flank/get better eyes, another individual is identified by M4 fire near the same evergreen bunch.
Both bandits begin firing into Elektro. Assessing the entirety of the situation, the two individuals are deemed bandits due to their unprovoked firing.
Swear begins to engage the individual firing an AKM. Swear injures the player, Shady scores the killing shot.
Bandit armed with M4 immediately jumps up and attempts to flee. Swear lands 2-3 shots on target. After a hail of bullets from Swear and Derrel the 2nd bandit falls.
Immediately securing the area, the HEROs move into check gear. It is determined the bandits’ gear maybe duped. 4 double m4 mags, 3 ammo cans, grenades flashbangs. All of which neither HERO could move out of the bandits inventory.
The decision is made to hide the bodies, to prevent the bandits from returning and continuing their banditry in the immediate future.

Approx 5 mins later, Shady identifies a fresh spawn who has run back to the scene of the battle. The fresh spawn claims no knowledge of the events, however, it was determined this fresh spawn was the AKM bandit returning for his gear.

Shady, Swear and Derrel break contact and clear the area. Mission success.

Bandit Stalemate!

We were bandit hunting in Elektro and decided to approach from the top of Sniper Hill and listen for activity. We made it down to the knob at the bottom of Sniper Hill and the server reset.

We decided to rejoin the same server, which filled up quickly. We heard gunshots almost immediately coming from Elektro. I was rear watch and soon spotted 2 snipers on top of Sniper Hill looking down on us. One shot Missbehaving and knocked her unconscious with a single round, luckily she was topped off healthy and recovered a minute later to run into a nearby building and patch up.

As soon as Missbehaving was dropped, the 2 snipers came down from their perch and I watched them come up the knob. I shot and scared the crap out of them several times with the shotgun as I missed. Finally one came back up to find me and I was able to hit him in the hip/leg breaking his leg and dropping him. Due to lag, I could not switch weapons to finish him off. As I danced around him, he reloaded and killed me. Unsure if he survived or died after, his leg was broken and he was in bad shape, probably lots of ruined gear by my shotgun.

Derrel was able to spot and kill one of the bandits. He ran into the house with Missbehaving and they both patched up.

A little while later, they decided to charge out of the house, but they did not encounter the bandits again. We killed one of them and they killed one of us, so it appears both parties decided to quit while ahead.

Reddit Rescue Force Missions
Today we had a big group of HEROs take part in a couple of RRF missions. We were able to help two survivors with broken legs, one at Rify and another near Severograd. A third mission was aborted when the patient failed to make contact at the arranged meeting point. Links to the RRF missions are here and here.

Looking for Bandit Trouble

We were cruising Berezino in a squad of 6 and came across 2 survivors on the train tracks.

They hit the ground quick and fired at us, taking out one of our group. We tactically charged down the hill and killed the sniper. The second survivor had moved around and began to flank us, unknown to the squad, because we had a fresh spawn come running at us chatting.

The flanking bandit took out another one of us before he was overrun and killed. We also were able to help the fresh spawn in the process.

Elektrozavodsk Gauntlet

For me, this was THE BEST of all DayZ experiences rolled into a single hour.

Missbehaving had the idea to strut straight into Elektro with the entire squad on the main road. We hopped to a high population server and did just that, Swear was posted as Recon up on Sniper Hill and Sniper Knob.

We rolled in like we owned the place, but it didn’t last long. We made it to 3 waypoints and shooting broke out a couple streets over. We ducked for cover and decided to go say “Hi”.

Swear spotted someone in a 2 story red house so we proceeded to initiate verbal contact. There was no response and the survivor inside was getting into position for an ambush. We decided he was a bandit ready to kill us.

Swear fired a wounding shot then Missbehaving, Harbinger, and myself rushed the front door and killed both of them, losing Missbehaving in the process. Swear was killed at close range so we hid and watched as his killer descended the hill. The killer was not alone so we made our way quickly away from the scene and towards the coast about 3 blocks away.

The two bandits flanked around on each side and killed Kasper. I was able to spot one lagging in a backyard and emptied both barrels of a shotgun into him, center mass. Harbinger was dropped by the sniping bandit which I later found then rushed with my shotgun. He was ready with a pistol and blasted me in the face several times.

After my respawn, I was stalked and hunted by a shotgun wielding bandit near Novo. I spotted him while glancing back and hid in a tree to jump out with my sledge. I swung furiously but lost the battle. Kasper mentioned he was able to help a fresh spawn after his respawn.

After my second respawn in Berezino, I came across a house with a fire lit inside. I saw someone running down the hill into the house and decided to make contact. The two guys were actually heroes making a farm, with the fire inside and a water pump in the back yard. They were helping fresh spawns in Berezino and we had a friendly chat. I helped them with information about farming and decided to run off and grab a bag of lime I saw back in town to bring to them to help with their farm.

Fresh Spawn Farm

We setup near Berezino and met some interesting characters. There is a video under HERO News that details it better than I can here.

We gave aid to our first survivor contact who gladly accepted our food, warmth, and shelter. Afterwards a bandit fresh spawn took food at first then tried attacking with a hockey stick so he was exterminated.

Later (not in the related video) we helped a third person with the bountiful farm.

The Battle of Berezino

A text description will not do this battle justice…video will be posted.

After a long 30-45 minute gunfight, our HEROs were able to fend off a few waves of attackers in one of the Berezino apartments.

Here is a video from my perspective of the recent Berezino Bandit Hunt. Unfortunately my recording software wasn’t configured correctly and my voice (and mechanical keyboard) is louder than everything else. The raw footage was an hour long but I cut it down to 20 minutes to keep it interesting. Let me know what you think! It’s my first YouTube video.

Bandit Hunt in Elektro

Swear took lead and we logged into the west side of Elektro near the industrial complex. We moved east and were a little discouraged that there were lots of zombies and no survivors.

As we approached the police station in the east, I took a security post next to a fence and spotted someone running around across the street in the school. Swear went to go make contact and was immediately attacked by the school bandits with melee weapons.

Derrel and I killed the two melee attackers but were soon under fire from across the street. I died, twice, and both times had an Elektro respawn so I ran around full speed trying to find the attackers with guns. I managed to corner one inside a house and run around him while he missed me with a shotgun. Unfortunately the only weapon I had during the quick respawn life was brass knuckles which didn’t do much against his UN helmet, press vest, and shotgun.

After all was said and done, we confirmed 2 bandit kills and possibly a third.

After being killed at Green Mountain I spawned in Elektro and was trying to make my way back to GrayFox and kittensoft. I startled some guy as I ran past but instead of letting me go he decided he wanted a fight.

While hanging around in Cherno, BloodyHeap met a couple of lightly geared players and provided them with a weapon and ammo. MissBehaving and kittensoft came under attack by some bandits and were able to lead them towards the rest of the squad where two were killed and the remaining two fled. Shortly after BloodyHeap was able to kill a freshspawn chasing GrayFox as he entered Cherno. Some of the action was captured by derrel and BloodyHeap.
