Story time.
So I died last night after closing a door on myself - fast forward - so I decided to respawn this morning. I was leaving my starting town and suddenly see a flare go out and another one beyond it, I follow these flares to see these two shadowy figures running on the coastal side.
As I stopped to observe I realised they were taking a scenic route around the area to ensure safety by following the ocean, I decide to cut through the forest in their general direction. I stop outside an undisclosed major town in the game and observe the coast. Our two mishaps would be still throwing flares and one of them threw them towards a tower building just beyond where I was and caught light of myself hiding in the bush. I scamper off, no bullets were fired but they announced that they had seen a bandit in the area (bandit is a skin given to player kills, I had that skin.)
I head into the center of town and wait, after 2 minutes the area is lit up in what I assume is to keep them safe and be able to visibly see anything, I turn around and make eye contact with one poor sod who managed to catch one bullet out of 3 into his torso, he's running about screaming and blood pouring, I give chase only to have an Einfield round blasted in what I assume was my direction. I pressed myself against the wall and gave myself 3 seconds to peek where I catch eye of them going down the street to my left. I bomb it down the alley where I came from and catch him by surprise - I unload the Einfield carrier in the face 4 times until he drops and quickly take his weapon and ammo supplies.
For the next 10 minutes the other person announces he has used up all his bandages, I see him again later and use his friend's weapon on both of his legs. He dies soon after and I take his supplies. I seen a randomer looting his body 3 minutes later, I shoot him from afar twice, the first missing and the second piercing his skull.
I now have full supplies again including an abundance of ammo. Catch up.
