KeymasterI wouldn’t call this hero or bandit, just awesome job surviving!
KeymasterI would think Recon shouldn’t need to wear armbands, depending on the mission. I think this could be a Leader call at the beginning of missions. Close Recons we would probably want armbands, far Recons, probably not.
If we get too strict on uniform requirements, we will end up needing to have a more structured training and requirements to teach people how to identify and move when everyone is together which I think can take away from our current casual style.
I personally would prefer if everyone had their own unique headgear and clothing and stick with just armbands. I kind of like the “Wild West” approach where people are able to express their own uniqueness. It also allows us to more easily form micro-squads and stick close together because we can identify each other within the group quickly.
Hell, I can quickly think of gear people usually wear to identify themselves off the top of my head:
Digital – Cowboy hat and aviator glasses
Agent Scarn/Derrel – knit hat of some sort
Kasper – Biggest backpack in the group and a ballistic helmet
Missbehaving – black and balaclava
Shady – Ushanka
etc, etcKeymasterAlso check out this thread for new updates to experimental:

KeymasterKeymasterBandit 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.

KeymasterI like the idea. I would more than likely add something like this on our website rather than recite in-game.
Kudos to any HERO that is able to recite this in-game without the fecal matter impacting the rapidly spinning cooling device.
KeymasterIt looks like many people have tried swimming and escaping Chernarus, haha!
KeymasterThe 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.

KeymasterFresh 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.

KeymasterElektrozavodsk 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.
