Apocalypse Rising Banditing Tactics
#1. The Snake First, you find someone that has inferior gear to you and invite them to a group. If they accept, tell them to meet you somewhere kinda secluded or known for bandit activity (like the forest or MA). Act friendly towards them for awhile, perhaps give them a can of food or something, then when he's got his back turned, empty a clip into him. If he didn't see you do it, tell him some idiot killed him, but you killed the idiot. If he did see you, loot his body, then change servers.
Notes: -This is best done in a group with a friend on Skype or another VOIP. -Even though you may get the drop on him, a skilled player can easily turn this tactic around. (Even if you have a friend)
#2. The False Help Look for people asking for help in chat. Once someone does, tell them that you can help them and blah blah blah. Meet up with him, making sure he wasn't pulling the old "Help Me!" trick (See tactic 3). Give him whatever he needs (as long as it wasn't blood, in this case, just shoot him.), then when he picks it up, kill him.
Notes: -Once you kill him, he'll likely smear your reputation, if he does, claim he shot first and turn the blame on him. If this doesn't work, switch servers. -Like I said, this is a somewhat dangerous technique since he may have friends.
#3. "I've fallen and I can't get up!" This is basically the polar opposite of tactic #2. Ask for help in chat, claiming you need either food or water (never ask for blood, as your victim may shoot you on sight hoping for an easy kill). Be sure to be nice the whole time up until the end. When they finally do get to you, wait until they stop to open their inventory. When they do, run to the side or back of them and open fire. Even if they do realise you're trying to kill them, in a panic, they most likely won't have enough time to exit their inventory, turn and shoot you. Once they're dead, thank them for the loot.
Notes: -Like in tactic two, they will most likely spread the word that you backstabbed them. Turn the blame on them claiming they tried to kill you. If this doesn't work, find another server. -If possible, have a friend hiding nearby (like in a building) in case things take a turn for the worse.
#4. The Old Fasioned Base Raid Look for people saying things like "holey carp theirs a base neer amind" or "what da heck a groop kiled me at ma". Go to the location with a group of 3 or more people (including you), making sure that you're not being followed or watched. When you find the base, sit outside of it for a while at the edge or the binocular range (just close enough to make out colors). If anyone leaves, make note of their name. Once you've sat outside of it for a few minutes and know how many people there are, move in. Station someone at every entrance/exit with a long ranged high powered firearm (like the M4A1, SKS, or M14). If there is only one entrance/exit, they're screwed and you can forget about putting people watching them. Designate someone as the guard/lookout making sure nobody is coming back to their base. If there is no one in the base, go in it and loot everything quickly. If there is anyone inside, have all of your guys standing outside it wathcing it. Fire off a pistol shot to lure them out. Once someone comes out, kill them. If there is anyone else inside, they'll most likely not come out now, so find a way to get the drop on them (such as making all of your guys go in at once) or just wait. Reap your rewards!
Notes: -Do not take over or stay in the base. They will be back. Either leave it be or tear it down. Be quick. -Don't get cocky and just barge in. Even though you may have the element of surprise, they may outnumber or outgun you.
Random tips and tricks: -Tractors are pretty much useless. Leave them be or destroy them. -When spawning, pick a dark skin color and dark clothing. You will be mostly operating at night. -It is helpful to pick a girl skin. People are less likely to suspect or blame you. -After you kill anyone for any reason, spend a maximum of 30-45 seconds looting their body. Less is better. All of those gunshots may attract more people to try and steal your kill. -Never for any reason reveal your location. If you accidentally do, get out of there fast. -Sometimes you can pull a reverse snake trick (especially if there's only one of them). Count yourself lucky. I've only done this twice, and only once when I was outnumbered and outgunned. -If you're being shot at, never stop. Run around spastically jumping. They'll never get a bead on you. -If you're in a group with people you don't know/trust, and they "accidentally" kick you from the group, open fire on them and try to get away. This is almost always an attempt at the snake tactic. -Stay in thrid person. You can peek around walls and objects. -Never go into the bunker in the forest if you think there's someone in there. People camp here all the time. -Since you're a bandit, pick the ninja perk. They won't hear you until you're very close, and even then they'll think you're far away. If you happen upon a dead body, and it's not in a city, get out of there. Fast. If it is in a city, be cautious.
I may update this and add more tactics later. Happy banditing errybuddy! |

| Step One, I disagree with. You for people with better gear then you. Invite them to a group, after a while Kick them and kill them quickly. |

| Yeah, but that's if you're in a group of people. If you're alone you're gonna have a hard time killing someone better geared than you. |

| These are just a few of mine. I figured I'd give everyone who needs them a few simple ones. I'm never giving out my personal faves. |

this is for cowardly bandits who don't want to risk the guy getting revenge
in real life you couldn't just enter a different server |

| These are all cowardly bandit tactics. Don't even say they aren't. You're trying to befriend the guy, then kill him. This is just plain mean. This is low even for bandits. |

| Pointlesspuppy, that's part of the game. It's not cowardly, it's outsmarting your enemy. Anyways, I disagree with #4. If you kill an enemy teammate, then the rest of the team will come out for revenge. It'll also alert them that you're there. The best thing to do is sneak up while they're apart so you don't have to fight them all at once. |

| Of course, don't hang around for too long. It's not good to give them time, so after you're done with one guy, go straight to the next while they're still panicking. |

I'm a pure snake survivalist.
My first and foremost goal is to survive.
My second goal is to backstab.
Yay me.

| They're not cowardly, they're smart. Would you risk it and be honorable, or take the minimum risk and backstab? |
