    Random encounters in the DZ...

    So the other day I was in DZ9 just to get a few DT since I had 47 DT leftover and needed 3 more to do one more optimization to one piece of classified gear. I figure should be a quick and easy in/out right? So I got my 3 DT and then I notice there was a supply drop incoming. Well since I was already in there I figured...why not? Keep in mind I hadn't planned on staying in the DZ for long and hadn't planned on doing an extraction either so I had my D3 PVE build on... When I go into the DZ for extractions I usually run my fully optimized Nomad. I don't PVP in the DZ often but I sometimes run with randoms and we do go Rogue at extractions just to guarantee we're able to extract our own stuff.

    Anyway so while I was in there I was able to claim one supply drop. I was first to get there and was in the process of taking down the NPCs. In this location I was able to stay on a rooftop to target the NPCs easily while being safe. After killing 2 or 3 NPCs I noticed a seeker mine explosion....and it wasn't mine as I don't use seekers in the DZ. At this point I stopped firing and decided to quickly slide down the rope and claim the drop while the "other agent" was being preoccupied with the NPCs.

    After reaching the ground I see the other agent race to the drop and then go down from NPC fire. He's still crawling around but I had to get the drop and get out of there ASAP as there were still NPCs left. I felt bad for the guy as I even heard him almost cry over the comms. He was a grown guy not some kid. In this situation I would've liked to help the guy but it's the DZ and you never know. What if I had helped him and then he got mad because I got the drop and turned Rogue? I wasn't running Nomad so...needless to say the DZ is what it is.

    Another encounter I had with a random was in DZ5....same day different person, different situation. I was running around killing NPCs to rank up my DZ rank. While in one of the buildings with my D3 shield up I get an invite by a random. He appeared out from nowhere. So I stand there with my shield facing him not responding to his/her invite just to see what their intentions were. I had some sealed caches on me so I'm pretty sure they saw my radiation pouch. So after about 30 secs that person starts to melee my shield...so I knew something wasn't right.

    I started to quickly run away using pulse conceal. I noticed the person started to run after me so I kept running in out of obstacles to avoid line of sight. I've done this type of running before in previous encounters from other Rogue players but in those encounters I was using Nomad. This time I was using D3. So I finally hear the Rogue warning and had to turn around and fight. As you know D3 is like a turtle slow and tough with the shield but your back is soft...so no choice. So I start shooting at this player with my fully optimized PVE House and he throws out a shock turret. I avoid the turret because I stand in a tent with lots of cover.

    I kept shooting and the player health is almost down to zero then I notice the player use a med kit. During the exchange of fire my shield withers down pretty fast which surprised me. The shield finally goes out and I turn around and run away. While running away I run past another agent who was neutral. This other agent was running towards the Rogue agents direction. I kept running hoping that the Rogue would be busy dealing with the other agent to allow me enough time to escape. I ended up surviving...

    Do you have any interesting DZ encounters to share?

    Funny encounter a good few weeks or even months ago that had me rolling with laughter.......

    Was bored in DZ9 and decided to perch on the rooftop calling in extractions and waiting for agents to come scurrying. After a while i got tired of that and just kicked back and waited for rogues to start jacking extractions.

    Sure enough a couple of minutes later a rogue spoils someones day down in the Pit. I’m on the roof in my Pred suit and whip out my Urban MDR and shoot the rogue twice, blat blat. He scurries into what he thinks is cover and i blat him again....... and again.

    At this stage I’m starting to giggle as it’s clear as day that he has no idea where these shots are coming from. He starts to run and I send three more lead pills his way.......

    At this stage the poor bugger is doing frantic circles, running from cover to cover. I’m starting to lose the ability to aim straight due to the fits of laughter that threaten to overtake me......I hit him twice again and he takes off running like the clappers. He was halfway down the block when I hit him with that tenth bullet and he went down like a sack of potatoes. I must have hit the sweetspot with a crit bleed cause he did not even have time to crawl about - he went straight down.

    I howled with laughter.

    Memorable moment that was.

    A while ago i got a invite from some lev.25 player with around 500 commendation score to group up, so i joined and helped him to level up and shared some gear. After reaching lev.30 he asked to go in the DZ i asked him if he is sure so we went in. After doing his mission there, some landmarks and bosses we went for extraction, i called the chooper in and some other player apeared DZ rank99 and over 4000 commendation score with who i made some extractions earlyer this day, I emoted to him "hello" we put our pouches on the rope, and the other dude startet to cut.............. In the end we got killed and the youngster left my group. I went back where the other guy still was hanging around we extracted our and his loot and went our own ways......
    A perfectly first suicide mission in the DZ

    Another funny story was like a stadium style fight club arena......i went to DZ8 where the whole server was hanging around at one spot, over the chat u heared things like cronus user cronus user, no my digg is just bigger than urs, letz make 1vs 1....etc. etc. etc...... so everyone was jumping on some boxes, busstops, cars, trucks and what was availible to see things from above, while the two others in the middle started to perform a hillarious 1vs1, i dont need to mention what was going on on the chat I literally rolled with wet eyes under my table.

    I really llove the DZ for what it is....i know there are diffrent opinions about, but he its like real life there, somewhere here on the planet existing also dangerous places where some idiots can come around the corner and want to robber ur smart phone........ But the DZ is much more fun for sure.
