In DayZ, I am more worried about running into "shoot players first, see if they nice later" newbs or Bandits than facing 30 zeds with only a towel to use as a weapon. During my adventures, I had found out there more ways to skin a victim from trolls in DayZ and so here is my top ten ass-hat tricks.
10. The Camper:
This asshat of wonder will sit and wait for long periods of time for victims to spawn just so they can snipe just to get the player upset. Most Campers love hiding out in the mountains that over look towns. They especially love it when some one asks in Side Chat or Global "Any one in Cherno?". They either lie about their location or remain silent and wait for the kill. This is soo common in Dayz that i put this as number 10 on the bottom.
9. Want a ride?
A player would ask in side chat if any one needs a lift. When a player says yes, the driver would stop near the player and get out of the vehicle and kill them.Other things is drive near and when the victim gets close drive forward a little.
8. Want to Team?
A player who would try and trick the player to team up with them only to be assassinated by themselves or a friend.
7. Free Stuff:
I never trust a player who says in side chat he got free supplies. Always end up you with you dying.
6. Tea party, On your face:
So what is worse than you being killed? How about being physiologically tortured and then killed? So, Imagine you are in the hospital looking for supplies, suddenly player downs you and you are slowly bleeding to death, instead of ending your pathetic life, he tea bags you or torments you or drags your corpse around for fun until you bleed to death.
5. Flares/smoke grenades!
I done this myself. It's pitch black, I have my night vision goggles on and it's night time. i have been chased by three pissed off players for roughly two hours across the map. why? I had killed one of their friends, who tried to axe me in the back at church. I lay on my belly in a remote small town, crawling around trying to not get attacked by the local zombies or from the blind idiots who are trying to wait for me to leave the town. Getting bored of my taunts in chat, they finally decided to inch closer to town. I then threw three flares near them suddenly making them a easy meal for the zombies. With flares, Zombies are like flies to shit, they swarm on them. Making them flee or fight.
4. Using vocals.
Players would hide in locations and play sounds with software and use it as their microphone, Some use noises from the game like helicopters or zombies or bullet fire to make people cover. I always admire this trick because it's simple and yet effective to fool any player.
3. Train!
This classic yet deadly move is one of most common ways of victory. First piss of zombies, make them chase you, run past a player who is not paying attention. let the zombies eat their face as bath salts ooze out of their nose.
2. The Corpse Baiter: One of the most sneaky and evil tricks ever. First is they kill a player in an open area and then hide near by, when the victim runs up to inspect the body, BANG, another body to add the the pile. I have fell for this a few times, I now learned now to hid and wait for another victim to try and loot the corpse or circle the area.
1. Debug killing and looting. The debug area is where you character is coded in, every player will be there, standing looking like an NPC even though you could be miles away. Just think of this as poor scripting. What happens is a player can walk up, open your backpack help themselves to your stuff and you be none the wise or even worse kill you and help themselves. Luckily this can get the person banned by tracking but what sucks is that you loose your stuff.
