General Looting: Vybor Military Base

Deceiver, Kittensoft, and I were looking for gear in the prison at the Vybor military base where there was a loot explosion when another player walked up to the front doors, which Kittensoft had locked. Seeing his arm come through the door, we began to attempt to communicate with the individual to let them know that we were friendly so long as he kept his weapon lowered and responded to us. There was no voice communication, but he typed in chat asking us not to kill his character. Despite his requests for us not to kill him, he unlocked the doors to the prison and then repeatedly opened them when we closed them. Deceiver moved into a position within the jail cell that allowed him to get eyes on the other player. During this time, the other player had typed in chat that he had no ammo in his gun, but Deceiver alerted us to the fact that this player was peeking around the corner of the prison and aiming his weapon toward the front doors. It was then deemed that the player intended to be hostile and we began acting accordingly. Deceiver took the active role of engaging the other player while I moved into the jail cell to take up his position and keep an eye on the last known position of the bandit. Deceiver ran out of the front doors and around the prison in an attempt to get behind the bandit, but discovered he wasn’t there when he arrived. As he turned to retrace his steps back toward the front of the prison, the bandit appeared at the corner Deceiver was heading toward and opened fire. Deceiver returned fire and managed to kill the bandit, all the while avoiding the hail of bullets fired at him. Kittensoft and I joined him at the body. We looted what was worthwhile and then left the base before logging out of the server.

Spawning Fresh on a Private Hive

Kittensoft and I decided to try out the UN / Zap private hive in order to get kitted characters that could be played on high-population first-person servers. My initial spawn was near Nizhnoye, while hers was north of Rify. We intended to meet up north of Berezino, but just as she was reaching the destination, she was met by an individual with a shotgun who ordered her to put her hands up. I was still in the northernmost part of Berezino heading her way in hopes of interrupting this encounter when the bandit shot her in the face, killing her. She respawned east of Elektro. While she headed along the coast toward Kamyshovo and eventually Solnichniy, I proceeded to search the woods and area north of Berezino for the bandit who had killed her. After a while of searching and finding no one, I turned around and began heading down the coast to once again meet up with Kittensoft. As she travelled along the coast, she paused to loot the houses east of the Three Valleys and encountered another player. They ran into each other while coming from different directions around a corner of wall. Kittensoft turned and ran for cover, but instead of letting her go and continuing on his way, the other player took a shot at her with his shotgun and then gave chase. This led to a lengthy run for Kittensoft as she headed north to meet up with me. She passed Solnichniy as I passed the Factory and we met in the area between the two locations. Looking back down the coast where she had just come from, we soon spotted the bandit still chasing after her. She was armed with a Repeater, while I only had a farming hoe. Despite my disadvantage, I told Kittensoft to move evasively and stay out of his line of fire while I moved along the coast to flank the bandit. While he was fixated on trying to kill her, I ran at him from the side and managed to get two hits on him with my farming hoe before he realized I wasn’t a zombie. At this point he began running around rather wildly trying to keep distance between himself and I and the aggro’d zombies. I wasn’t able to get another strike on him, but I kept him on the move while Kittensoft (who had gotten shot once as she moved away from him and suffered a broken leg) crawled toward us. Eventually I was able to chase the bandit toward Kittensoft, who opened fire and killed him. Afterward the server restarted, but we were able to rejoin and bandage and splint our wounds before moving on to meet up with another friend who had joined the server to play with us.

A large group of HEROs set up a patrol mission in Elektro. Unfortunately immediately after logging into a medium pop server one of our squad encountered a hacker. We logged into another high pop to find that about half of our squad was dead and Kasper was immediately fired on by two players. Kasper managed to kill both. One of the players returned to his body within 30 seconds and was killed again. Within another 30 seconds he was back again and began hacking and picking off the remaining members of the squad. A few were able to log out and survive.

Bandit Hunt in Elektro

Last night a squad of us gathered on the hill north-northwest of Elektro in preparation for a patrol for bandits. We headed down into the city and began to patrol the central region around the church and near to the train tracks. While we patrolled through the streets, keeping an eye out on Sniper Hill and looking for possible bandits peeking from windows, Supernoob made his way from Kamyshovo to join us. With two loops completed, I stationed the assist team in the fire station while AgentScarn and I moved to the southwestern section of Elektro to extend our patrol. It was during this time that Supernoob entered the area and was shot by a bandit from an unknown location. AgentScarn and I returned to the rest of the squad before we all headed into the streets to make our way toward where Supernoob was murdered in hopes of finding his killer. Shortly afterward, Koo1aid was killed by who we assumed was the same bandit that had killed Supernoob. I instructed the remaining team to take cover while I doubled-back to Koo1aid’s body in hopes of getting eyes on his killer. It wasn’t long before I saw the bandit peeking around the corner of a building, but as I moved into position to take a shot at him, he managed to kill me with a single Mosin shot through a hail of bullets from my AKM. At this point the rest of the squad, consisting of Kittensoft, AgentScarn, and Shane, worked their way back down the street to where the bandit was last spotted. Kittensoft was then shot while she was behind a wall where there was no vantage points for someone to shoot at her. It wasn’t long before Shane was confronted by the bandit; they traded shots with one another with Shane falling unconscious. AgentScarn closed in on Shane’s position and discovered that the bandit was dead, but a second later the body disappeared and the individual was back, miraculously wearing their ruined gear. AgentScarn shot and killed him, at which point the body again disappeared. When the bandit returned for a second time in the same ruined gear and was once again shot dead, it was determined that they were a hacker and we all logged out before they could once more return and possibly kill our last two surviving squad members.

We all managed to get respawns near Elektro, so on a low-pop server we converged on the center of town to regroup to transition the operation from a bandit hunt to a looting mission. While we were exploring Elektro, an ax-wielding bandit ran up to Supernoob and attempted to hack him to death. Thankfully most of us were grouped together and Koo1aid was able to kill this lightly-armed bandit before he could do any more damage to Supernoob or anyone else in the group. The two non-affiliated players on the server left not long after that, so with all of us together, we headed out of Elektro for a trip up to the Vybor military base.

Elektro Patrol

While doing a walking patrol through Elektro with a squad size of about 12-14 we were able to assist at least 3 survivors that I can recall.

On Feb 20 I led a large group into Elektro on a bandit hunt. Despite moving through many full servers we never encountered any real bandit activity. We were able to help many survivors, at least 3. Unfortunately one contact decided to casually walk up and punch me in the face, causing the death of him and his friend.

On Feb 23 BloodyHeap, Wilson, ascottishman, and I went on an impromptu bandit hunt in Berezino. We were able to take down two bandits scoping in on Bloody from the police station. After meeting a few friendlies, Wilson was killed by snipers on top of the apartments. The remaining three of us tracked the two man team through Berezino to a shed where they combat logged.

Went on patrol with JohnDoe, Missbehaving, woolyjumper, and myself. We moved through Solnichniy towards Kamyshovo. When we arrived at the Three Valleys spawn point, we met up with a fresh spawn that didn’t say a word and only nodded gestures at us. He didn’t type either.

He was given medical supplies for his bleeding and some food. We pointed him back in the direction of Solnichniy where we just recently cleared the town of zombies for him to loot and we pressed on towards Kamyshovo..

Harbinger and Supernoob joined in later in Elektro, where we found a tent and decided to put a dead drop of basic supplies in the middle of the road.

Derrel, Missbehaving, and I logged in and decided we would head to Kamyshovo (the server meetup announced location) and see if we could find anyone.

We figured we would wait around for a while and see if anyone showed up and shoot the breeze, but almost immediately we had a survivor fresh spawn that we gave some food to. He headed out west towards Elektro and ran into a guy that gave him his .22 rifle and some gear.

The second .22 giving survivor came through, grabbed food and moved along. The original contact came back with the .22 and we found out he was 2 days new to the game.

I handed him a shovel, some seeds, and taught him how to farm after giving him some food.

I don’t remember the order of the rest of the contacts, but all-in-all, we helped 4 survivors, one of them was MrStyleS who stopped by to take a break from third person. He happened to spawn in Kamyshovo where our farm was setup.

I found this video of BloodyHeap and Nofo taking on 4 bandits with a hostage. They were able to dispatch all 4 and clear Novo tower, rescuing the hostage.

Several of us geared up and prepared for a patrol mission from Chernogorsk to Kamyshovo. Missbehaving and I had our internet drop and had to reset our modem. When we came in, I was next to the well and for some reason thought it was an excellent idea to drink water in the open. I was the first to die. Apparently some KOS started up and killed Miss and I, kittensoft died shortly peeking her head out the window of the police station.

Derrel was able to flank around while the group stood watch in the police station and kill the KOS bandit from approx 300 meters. There was another accomplice the group was unable to locate. He must have run off when he realized he was messing with the wrong group!

While on a full pop server the other day in Chernogorsk, I was looting around the police station and herd gun fire toward the harbor. Being not so geared I started working my way north and stopped at the hospital to loot on my way out. On my way out of the hospital I saw a player running north and decided to follow him. When he was almost to the main road he stopped in a shed. I noticed he was bleeding and contacted him and asked if he needed bandaging, he asked me if I was going to kill him and I told him no. he allowed me to approach and bandage him. I didn’t have any thing else to help him with so left him with his thanks.

Derrel, Fox, Misbehaving, and I decided to start up a farm in Elekto on DayZ Underground. Miss and I were still making our way to meetup when derrel and Fox saw a few fresh spawns.

One of the freshies decided to punch the others and start skinning them. The two moved in and quickly put an end to his cannibalism. 4 survivors were helped with food, one of them later ended up being that cannibal.

Patrol tonight with a group of 6 didn’t make it very far into Chernogorsk when we came under fire. Since we didn’t know where the hostiles were, we fell back to the woods in hopes to ambush the attackers. Our group was split up and after we regrouped, we fell back some more just in case the stragglers were spotted.

Our attackers ended up flanking us around to the left and we fell back deeper into the woods. As one approached, I ran out to say something but he stopped and aimed his weapon at us and our group quickly dispatched justice.

Soon after, more of the hostile group must have heard the shots and came up and wiped all of us except HuhEd and Robb.
