== Players & Play Styles == '''Bambi''' * Usually refers to a player character which has only just been spawned on the coast. They have little gear or supplies and often have no idea where they are. This term is sometimes, but rarely, applied to new players of the game in a more general sense rather than a new character within the game. Interchangeable with "Fresh Spawn" in most cases. '''Bandit''' * A hostile player that intends to kill or rob other players for their weapons and items. Originated from the skin applied in the DayZ mod when a player had reached a negative enough karma level through murdering other players and performing hostile actions. Antithesis of "Hero". '''Hero''' * Players that go out of their way to help other players, generally by giving new players food and gear. Originated from the skin applied in the DayZ mod when a player had reached a positive enough karma level through giving other survivors transfusions and other "friendly" actions. Antithesis of "Bandit". '''Friendly''' * A player who has no hostile intentions towards others and will usually make an attempt to socialize with other players when encountered. Single word statement often declared by both friendly and hostile players upon meeting another player. '''Lone Wolf/Solo''' * Players who typically roam Chernarus or Livonia by themselves, rather than as part of a group. Though for some people this might be because they are unable to find a group, a true "lone wolf" plays by themselves intentionally. This may be in order to maintain a high degree of stealth, for immersion, distrust of others, challenge, or roleplay purposes. '''Sniper''' * A type of player who makes very common use of high accuracy sniper rifles such as the [[M70 Tundra]], [[VSS]], or the [[LAR]] to name a few, they are most likely to be found hidden and locked away in tall buildings such as [[tenements]], [[Radio Towers]], or other rooftops, often a type of bandit, getting shot at by a sniper is a very dangerous situation, often a player will only hear the sound of the bullets whizzing.
