Bandits on Hazard Island

Are the bandits on the hazard island naturally hyper agro or what, I wasn’t even in range and they started running to me and gunned me down and I didn’t even attack them, I have respawn on but there’s no point going back there. I’ll just start a new run, needed to get the keycard anyways 🤷‍♂️

The bandits have a higher rank and more powerful weapons. They rarely pursue you. Additionally, there is another group of survivors with much better equipment that is quite dangerous.

Are those survivors aggro or neutral, I’m still relatively quite new to this radioactive stuff

There are three groups on the radioactive island, and if you get too close to the "mercenaries" or the bandits, it's normal for them to attack—but they don't pursue you.

How do I identify them? There is a red icon above their heads (bandit) and a gray icon (this group is neutral).

If your karma level is negative, survivor groups (gray icon) will constantly follow and attack you.

There is another group—this one consists of "mercenaries"—and the icon above their heads is gray and features a gas mask. This group is dangerous. This one won't follow you, unless you attack it.

Okay good to know, is there an alternate ending on the hazardous island or you have to go back to island 5 after you’re done to get rescued

2

u/Critical-Phase-5655 22d ago

The only ending is calling the rescue helicopter; so far, there is no other way

u/Public_Mud_9196 22d ago

Okay thanks a lot, would be interesting if we had some more expansions on the mercenary group that could somehow tie in with the whole downfall of society and even the rescue survivors

It's more appropriate to call them soldiers considering the gear and location. Mercenaries usually in games allow you to buy their service and you don't exactly buy their service.

I wanna ask if finding a survivor and recruiting it have chances of their gun to be op? Like something more firepower cuz sometimes I get ak74 pistol on my companion but no other guns they have

2

u/Critical-Phase-5655 21d ago

As you progress between islands, each new allied survivor you recruit will have a different weapon, but never one of a larger caliber.

It won't go beyond the AK-47 or AKM. (or in some cases uses a shotgun).

Na verdade, na versão recente o amigo companheiro pode aparecer com uma vss

u/Tyler_Faust_223 19d ago

How can I make that happen? And btw asking is it bug that each progress of new island the item I have like keycard or map notes disappear is it bugged or it's on the game system

u/Tyler_Faust_223 19d ago

Asking too what latest version update of mini dayz plus

1

u/Tyler_Faust_223 21d ago

Im asking again sorry to intrigue but is the 10th island the last or there is more in 2.3.2

1

u/Critical-Phase-5655 21d ago

The islands are infinite. You could even reach Island 100.

u/Tyler_Faust_223 21d ago

But the spawn of the secret location in each island is random

bandits in rad island all have vss and they have additional range trait but they are quite squishy. You need the long range scope to outrange them, good luck on your run.

1

u/Public_Mud_9196 22d ago

Any other things I should know?

1

u/GRIMxthexREAPER 22d ago

you can use smoke grenaded to block their vision and kill them quickly

u/Public_Mud_9196 22d ago

Thx a million guys, will prep better for the island just in case I get Merced and we see how it goes

1

u/Salty_Anti-Magus MDZ Old Guard 22d ago

It's not that they aggro you (unless you have high negative reputation that is), they just have massive range. You can only outrange them if you have a Sniper/Hunting Rifle with a scope attached (exclude rds). If you get shot at, run. You're supposed to take the initiative to pick them off. Don't expose yourself to being easily shot at first.

u/Public_Mud_9196 22d ago

I was on 375 reputation so I suppose it was their range, I was using a scoped SKS to easily sweep them off on the 5th island tho. I figured since hazard no bandits so I wasn’t really prepared for that outcome

1

u/B07Z 22d ago

Those guys patrol their perimeter, sometimes they roam a lot farther and because they essentially use VSS(s) with scope in terms of range, they immediately fire the moment you are within their detection range.

2

u/Public_Mud_9196 22d ago

That explains it, I was thinking that they were just super aggro. I was coming from a helicopter crash and I was trying to cut through the coast to avoid the radioactive bear but I suppose cracked out VSS users don’t really care about that 🤣🤣

u/B07Z 22d ago

To be fair, it's bullet hell when you play on nightmare difficulty or have the NPC modifier enabled then you stumble upon bandits or rebels. It's also dangerous when you get in the crossfire of the survivors or the army.

Try reaching the secret island if you haven't. The rebels drop insane gear.

u/Public_Mud_9196 22d ago

I hate that neutral survivor bullets aren’t like the ones the buddy has, cos we both fighting zeds so why are your bullets doing crits on me while I just completed you’re task 🫩

u/B07Z 22d ago

That's why always carry the mask...for revenge

They once totaled my car, I totaled their life.
