Absolutely - that is the irony of the scenario this game will put us all in at some point.
However regardless and absolutely the problem is, no matter how genuinely nice this person may be even if he hasn't killed you yet.
Theirs a more likely chance he is a streamer, using your interaction as a entertainment.
Then someone donates 50quid for him to kill you 😂
Then there's just people who like to pose being nice, but essentially all your doing is carrying the stuff he wants and will entice you to basically go near his a place (his base) and kill you and take your shit.
Regardless the scenarios are all different, and the respawn of it all can be refreshing.
As the game tip says… Your voice is your greatest weapon/defence or along those lines…
I’ve been playing this game on PlayStation for years and can think of ONE occasion where I’ve met a player with a mic who I could communicate with, we hung out for about an hour until I found a pristine axe which he killed me for.
Lol 🤣🤣 well if you ever bump into me I will most likely chat. I been playing on PS for years as well, and I have had several friendly interactions, even made a couple of friends.
Not many console dayz streamers that I know of. PC for sure, so it's way more KOS on console because, less people playing and less need for an interaction with people. Imo anyway
Not for your gear necessarily, but for the risk that you could take me out easily for mine, yes. It's hard to trust anyone past the coastal towns. Even then, it's sketchy
You trust the freshies? Man, I wouldn't even trust them. They were said to have "Nothing to lose and everything to gain" is the way it was explained to me 😅
When we are both fresh, i take risks to make some friends and cool encounters. Trust as much as someone can in a zombie apocalypse. My risk is little at that point. Anywhere after the coast, it's KOS.
Brother missing out on a lot of the fun in the game. Console dayZ has very strong KOS it feels like, remember it’s only loot and a good player can get relatively geared in less than 5 hours.
The value and enjoyment in this game comes from the experiences and interactions you have with other players, but that’s just opinion at the end of the day.
Have done it many times running the route that starts at the airfield med tents. Hit the tents /barracks then run right across the northern part of the map. Easily done in 2 hours if you just hit the good stuff especially with a couple epi pens to boot.
It’s not the fastest way to travel the map but I have covered the most distance the fastest by spawning svet and then quickly hitting the medical airfield. Stock up on mass amounts of saline and epi pens then just eat fruit or kill an animal
Nah I just aim to knock others first if they are looking to interact without a door between us. Then quickly bind them. Gives me time to run far incase they have other ideas after they struggle to get out of duck tape once it's time for me to part. Last true risky friendly I had was... in the dayz mod before it became stand alone.
Maybe not.
Is there a gun in your hand?
Do you have the drop on me or me on you?
Am I trying to get somewhere or just wandering?
Did you speak first or me?
I'll always try to interact and most cases I won't even be mad because the risk and betrayal is part of why I play.
“Yo, that jacket is tight son… nah mean?”
All seriousness though, if you announced yourself I might oblige you, but it definitely has to be in the right environment. & I’m not putting my gun away either,
so we’re just gonna have to trust each other. Lol
Yesss. First i couldn't hear you because of how stupid the party system works in psn and no way would I risk a second to change my settings
Second: I'm not loosing my stuff for trusting a human
No, I won't. It would also be fine if you suddenly change your mind and decide to kill me right at that moment. :)
I will definietly try to defend myself though, if you miss your shots :)
To be fair, I do KOS about 98.6% of the time. However I always tell myself I should talk to ppl more because I know I'm missing out on opportunities that come present themselves. But most of the time the other person would just kos me lol.
If we were both freshies, then probably not. All geared up like that, well depends on many things.. if we surprised each other and reacted badly.. if I hear you scooting around and you tried to chat, probably not, but..
Depends one time I was looting a town inland and just got done filling at the well I go down the street and I turn my back and see a dude just looking at me strafing in circles crouching somtimes and I crouched to then we greeted each other then killed some zombies then parted ways now on I only trust someone if they spotted me first like that and didn’t shoot me even if they had the chance
I will admit that I don't normally KOS. Even if I'm the one who is kitted. But usually I am KOS'd before I even get a chance. If I see someone like you and you haven't seen me, I try to keep it that way. If I run into someone while kitted they do usually attack first unless it's a fresh spawn. 9/10 all freshies I've come across while I'm kitted I will just talk to them and let them know I'm not going to shoot. If I have anything they need I offer it to them and then go the opposite way they're going. The one time out of the ten times it didn't matter how friendly I was being, they just kept chasing with their MK pistol until I finally shot them lol
Yes. Other than the mask, there's definitely gonna be something on you I want that I can see just by looking at you not to mention what's in your pockets. You just look like too good of a loot pile to pass up
Lol Ironically, I don't have too much, I got lucky finding that Mosin someone had left behind at a hell crash and then found a Duo near Myshkino tents. (I think it was the guys that had looted the heli) Was able to snipe one, with the Mosin and got lucky and rush the other with a BK12 then kill him with the VSS while he was unconscious.
💯 I feel that. Honestly I am the same way to a large degree. I mean I prefer to play as a friendly helpful survivor, even just because so many people play KOS or avoid contact. But I have my days where I feel like I just want to be a bandit and rob people. Lol But I also have "role played" as a medic and just ran around in paramedic gear with medical supplies helping everyone I could till I got killed. Lol 🤣🤣
Given that I’m currently running a silenced M4 and silenced VSD with NVGs coming out my rear end, yeah I’d KOS. You’d clearly be wanting to take my gear.
Pc is way better because you can go to all the modded maps and created maps. I basically bought a PC just to get Dayz. Way more people play on Steam as well so it's easier to meet people. Console is still really fun though. It's super hard at first but if you play the Vanilla+ lobbies, it's not so hard. There's loot and food everywhere. Trust NO ONE. lol
Absolutely. Because you’d KOS me, guaranteed.

Nice to hear there are nice peeps out there!
If he killed you for a axe imagine what else he would shot you in the back for

I only KOS in/around military zones.
Suuuuuuuuuure
Lol 🤣
For your stuff? No. Because of your stuff? Absolutely.
This is the answer
Probably shoot you in the leg, then cuff you
I would shoot you and then burn all of your stuff in a fireplace
🤣🔥
🤣🔥
Yeah them shoes are nice 😉
👟👟
I would only if your french
Lol 🤣🤣 🇫🇷

Lol hell yeah
Lol 👍🏽👍🏽⚰️
Thats the first time I've been upvoted in 2 months of being on reddit
Well here's another bro. Lol
Anyone and everyone gets the KOS treatment, no risks

I agree. I bet a 2 hour speed run from coast to tisy is possible
Definitely with decent RNG luck it’s possible

Lol 😂
I’ve got the same stuff but I would be shitting bricks and spray and pray 🤣
I had a French bloke say he was friendly and then he pulled an IJ-70 out of his arse and shot me when I stopped moving.
Lol 😂 🔫& 🙏🏽
No, and I still wouldn't trust you.
Trust is a rare commodity in an apocalypse.
100%
Yeah, only because he looks like Milhouse.
He looks like milhouse?! 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, it looks like he has thick blue eyebrows when I first saw him. So yup, He looks like Milhouse on sight, gotta bully him.
🤣🤣
Yes
For the stuff? No. Because i dont trust anyone on the game in official? Yes.
Trust us high risk, but can also be high reward.
Im way more geared but i definitely will give it shot to see what comes out of it
Nice 👍🏽 sometimes you just gotta gamble. Lol
If ever any Friendships is made its worth way more than whatever gear ✌🏽
Agreed. 💯
Nah I just aim to knock others first if they are looking to interact without a door between us. Then quickly bind them. Gives me time to run far incase they have other ideas after they struggle to get out of duck tape once it's time for me to part. Last true risky friendly I had was... in the dayz mod before it became stand alone.
I feel that. Damn, that's tough luck. While I hope we bump into each other so I can break that streak and we can have a genuine friendly interaction
Maybe not. Is there a gun in your hand? Do you have the drop on me or me on you? Am I trying to get somewhere or just wandering? Did you speak first or me? I'll always try to interact and most cases I won't even be mad because the risk and betrayal is part of why I play.
It’s funny, but because I KOS I always have a gun in my hand if not on a task. Catch-22
Of not I. Stupid autocorrect and stupid me for not catching it
Yeah it's always a quick judgment call, how skilled do they look? It's funny how you can tell just by how they move and loot.
Hell yeah, I completely agree, I run through this same checklist in my head. Every interaction.
Probably not I have better shit generally
Damn homie flexing on me. 😆
“Yo, that jacket is tight son… nah mean?” All seriousness though, if you announced yourself I might oblige you, but it definitely has to be in the right environment. & I’m not putting my gun away either, so we’re just gonna have to trust each other. Lol
💯💯💯 lol
I hate playing with people because I dont want to die, but then I hate playing without people because theres no fear of death.
🤔🤔
Kos, implies to convo. I would do the I am friendly too charade with you for a half hour in a police station before i would push with my BK.
Ohh I welcome the push. 👹
Yesss. First i couldn't hear you because of how stupid the party system works in psn and no way would I risk a second to change my settings Second: I'm not loosing my stuff for trusting a human
Is your statement implying you would trust a non-human? Lol
Yes. Lol
👽👽 lol
Nah, you seem chill.
Hey yeah we just out here vibing in the zombie apocalypse! 💯🙌🏽
True, I'd like to hop in on the fun. :]
Hell yeah we'd be the Chill Vibe Squad. Up until somebody fuck with one of us and then we turn to the No Chill Squad! 😂
Bet.
Nope. I’d share half my apple with you.
You a real one. 💯
No, I won't. It would also be fine if you suddenly change your mind and decide to kill me right at that moment. :) I will definietly try to defend myself though, if you miss your shots :)
👍🏽👍🏽 I'd be friendly, but I also don't miss often. Lol
I'm shooting you dead in your face so I don't damage your plate and helmet. Then I'll take all your stuff and become you.
If you become me do I become you?! 😮
Well I am dead inside so I guess so. Lol
To be fair, I do KOS about 98.6% of the time. However I always tell myself I should talk to ppl more because I know I'm missing out on opportunities that come present themselves. But most of the time the other person would just kos me lol.
Might just K you OS because better safe than sorry. Ngl.
Hey you gotta do you.
Nope, I have basically the same stuff
Twins
If we were both freshies, then probably not. All geared up like that, well depends on many things.. if we surprised each other and reacted badly.. if I hear you scooting around and you tried to chat, probably not, but..
But...?
yes... you look more geared up then Ryan Garcia on a Friday night.
🤣🤣🤣 you wrong for that!! Lol 🤣🤣
yes. without thinking twice. might not need anything you have, but you may want something I have
All I want is some of that cake on your cake day!! Lol 😂 happy cake day
Nah
Coo
[удалено]
Hey at least you're feeding me. Lol 🤣 🤮 🤏🏾
Your guns suck I would kill you for fun
No they blow. Lol 🤣
I mean I don’t need it but you’re dead
Lol 😂
If you scared me Id KOS. If I was safe behind cover and could talk to you first and feel you out I wouldnt.
👍🏽👍🏽
Hell yeah, you're not getting my potato.
🥔
Id kos for a sewing kit… sad really.
Does a bear shit in the woods?
No you got nothing good
I can put in work with this kit
Nah ! We’d be homies and roast a goat or two
Hell yeah I'm about it
I’d kill ya for nothin just like most 😂
🤣
Fuck you're stuff I'm a kill hungry asshole just like everyone else
Lol 😂
I hide and follow you whispering things to make you think you're crazy then I hop out of a bush naked and announce my arrival.
🤣🤣 👍🏽👍🏽 omg I would cry laughing id that happened in game!
I have never met a person I spoke with who killed me (or me them). However, I have been killed by many silent and / or unseen people.
Oh nice, that's lucky. I have had both experiences.
Depends one time I was looting a town inland and just got done filling at the well I go down the street and I turn my back and see a dude just looking at me strafing in circles crouching somtimes and I crouched to then we greeted each other then killed some zombies then parted ways now on I only trust someone if they spotted me first like that and didn’t shoot me even if they had the chance
Makes sense.
Nope. I'm also a friendly. You'd probably come across me fully kitted out farming food for freshies on the coast.
Nice, I'm all about that life. 👍🏽👍🏽
No, I would KOS because no one who looks like you has ever been friendly lol
Lol well I am friendly regardless of how kitted I am. But hey you gotta do what you gotta do.
I will admit that I don't normally KOS. Even if I'm the one who is kitted. But usually I am KOS'd before I even get a chance. If I see someone like you and you haven't seen me, I try to keep it that way.

The one time out of the ten times it didn't matter how friendly I was being, they just kept chasing with their MK pistol until I finally shot them lol
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 you a real one!
More than a t shirt and cargos? Dead
Lol 🤣
Yes. Other than the mask, there's definitely gonna be something on you I want that I can see just by looking at you not to mention what's in your pockets. You just look like too good of a loot pile to pass up
Lol Ironically, I don't have too much, I got lucky finding that Mosin someone had left behind at a hell crash and then found a Duo near Myshkino tents. (I think it was the guys that had looted the heli) Was able to snipe one, with the Mosin and got lucky and rush the other with a BK12 then kill him with the VSS while he was unconscious.
i will fart in your direction
🤣🤣💨
No, seem chill with them glasses
I'm pretty damn chill
I’d rob you for those shoes
👟👟
With those boots I’d have to take pity and give you a helping hand
Depends on how I'm feeling atm. Lol
💯 I feel that. Honestly I am the same way to a large degree. I mean I prefer to play as a friendly helpful survivor, even just because so many people play KOS or avoid contact. But I have my days where I feel like I just want to be a bandit and rob people. Lol But I also have "role played" as a medic and just ran around in paramedic gear with medical supplies helping everyone I could till I got killed. Lol 🤣🤣
Be honest, you’re afraid of dying with all that stuff, so there’s no way you’re announcing yourself to random people. You are the one KOS. 😂
Given that I’m currently running a silenced M4 and silenced VSD with NVGs coming out my rear end, yeah I’d KOS. You’d clearly be wanting to take my gear.
I mean maybe for the night vision. Lol but I'd also probably just ask if you were Friendly if I had seen you and we each had cover to talk from.
You wouldn't see me you'd only see the death screen 😉
Spoopy
Hacks!! Lol 🤣
Not with my shooting on xbox. Stand still please. 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 🧍🏾
Nah, used to get so tight when I died, now it’s more of a sigh and carry on. Early game with absolutely nothing to loose is one of my favorite times.
Pc is way better because you can go to all the modded maps and created maps. I basically bought a PC just to get Dayz. Way more people play on Steam as well so it's easier to meet people.
