Overview
When in the Dark Zone, it can be difficult to know if you will be attacked by someone when extracting or simply minding your own buisness. Here are some tips to help tell new players and veterans alike to know the signs of a player attack!
Walking around
When walking around, if people are following you and acting awkward (as in getting close and looking at you constantly) then you may be in danger of an attack!
To not get killed, try this handy advice:
RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN
or
HARSHLY SHOVE BULLETS DOWN THEIR THROAT BEFORE YOU GET KILLED
This goes for everything, say if someone glances in your general direction
DO NOT TRUST THEM! They will probably shoot you.
Walking around without being paranoid
Seriously, no one is really going to attack you when you are walking around normaly, IF you don’t have any loot. You can tell if you have loot by the nifty little yellow BIOHAZARD bag below your nifty normal bag (in case you didn’t know already).
HOWEVER
If you do have loot, be slightly more careful becasue some person with nothing better to do might shoot you because they feel like it. Use common sense, kids.
Extracting your stuff
When extracting, I noticed several key things that indicate a possible attacker at an extraction point.
1. A possible attacker has no loot on them before they attack you. After they strike, they do. If you didn’t read this guide correctly.
2. Attackers just about always attack when you are in the process of putting your crap on the dang rope, which is smart because you are completly vulnerable.
3. Attackers usualy attack in groups of two or more, so be on the lookout for people who aren’t in the “little yellow bag” club and are hanging out at the extraction point.
4. Attackers mostly act “out of place” and hang out in high places or hiding spots, waiting for you to go and start to extract. They almost always start their attack with a grenade.
5. Attackers canbe Russian or have strange names such as “I’m really bad at this game so I’ll just kill this guy to take his kneepads so I feel better about myself before I lather myself in mayonase.”, “xXx_PU55Y_D3STR0Y3R_xXx” and “I have severe austism”.
I don’t quite have any tips on avoiding getting shot in the bum aside from going somewhere else to extract. I’ll update this guide as I find more tips and tricks.
