Multiplayer survival

= Multiplayer Survival =

When playing on a large public server in any survival game, there will always be players who are cordial, those who are out to kill anyone they see, and any number of other archetypes. No two players play exactly the same way, so one tactic for fighting a player quite possibly won't work on another. If you want to survive on a public server, you must know how to deal with players, and this guide will attempt to explain how to do this effectively.

The types of players
There are several different varieties of players, which this section will try to explain in decent detail.

Bandit
The bandit is potentially the most common type of player, frequently traveling with a weapon in hand and very trigger-happy, opening fire on other players. Some will attack only players when they think they can gain something from their victim, but others will also mercilessly attack new spawns. Also tend to group up and travel in packs with friends. If you see a group of three or four people all wearing the same or similar outfits, the best bet is to just run the other direction.

Kill-on-sight (KOS)
KOS players are relatively self-explanatory, as when they see another player, they pull out a gun and just fire away until their victim's brains are in the next county, regardless of the equipment of the person they're attacking. They're typically either extremely well-geared players at or above level 100 or those who have just found their first AK-47 and feel they can take on the world with it and their 90 bullets.
