The psychopath has the image of a cold, heartless, inhuman being. But do all psychopaths show a complete lack of normal emotional capacities and empathy?

Sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is traditionally a personality disorder characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits. Different conceptions of psychopathy have been used throughout history that are only partly overlapping and may sometimes be contradictory.

Psychopathy is characterized by diagnostic features such as superficial charm, high intelligence, poor judgment and failure to learn from experience, pathological egocentricity and incapacity for love, lack of remorse or shame, impulsivity, grandiose sense of self-worth, pathological lying, manipulative behavior, poor self-control, promiscuous sexual behavior, juvenile delinquency, and criminal versatility, among others. As a consequence of these criteria, the image of the psychopath is that of a cold, heartless, inhuman being. But do all psychopaths show a complete lack of normal emotional capacities and empathy.

Like healthy people, many psychopaths love their parents, spouse, children, and pets in their own way, but they have difficulty in loving and trusting the rest of the world. Furthermore, psychopaths suffer emotionally as a consequence of separation, divorce, death of a beloved person, or dissatisfaction with their own deviant behavior.

Why.

Playing DayZ a little different can be very fun and could make you laugh big time.
Most of the players are playing DayZ serious and want to 'actually' survive and YOU can make a difference. Why playing so serious if you can have a lot of fun in DayZ? So, here is the setup of what you need to be a psychopath etcetera.

The setup.

A mask.

Every Psychopath knows that you can't be creepy without a mask of something related to wearing something on your head, be it a hockey mask or some other type. Bandanas aren't a good idea as they would portray you as a Bandit most likely. Keep in mind you are NOT a Bandit. YOU ARE A PSYCHOPATH! Be freaky.

Axe?

You'll need an Axe. This can be a Splitting Axe, Hatchet or Firemans Axe, it doesn't matter. This will sound silly, but if it is Damaged, it will show up with Blood and such, adding to the creepy factor of your build. The more blood, the more scary :)

Shovel/Sledgehammer?

You'll want one of these as they deal the most shock damage, and will knock out a victim with a Single, heavy, solid hit even if they are geared with Helmets and body armour. Can be handy if used correctly otherwise you'll be a dead psychopath which you don't want.

Rotten food/contaminated water.

As a Psychopath, you won't outright kill your prey. You want to play with your victims first right?. With this, you will want to forcefeed them rotten food or contaminated water to toy with them. Playing with players is fun, trust me you'll laugh so much.

Handcuffs.

When you found someone, you don't want them fighting back or escaping from you so restraining them with handcuffs is the best to stop them from escaping. If they do struggle, it will make a sound so you can hit them over the head with something blunt to persuade them not to do so again. But if they run away, run after them being scary and freaky using your microphone and setup for the extra fun!

The microphone

Use a good microphone to talk/scream and to be scary. This is a must have while being a psychopath! Scream, shout and let it all out! This extremely increases the fear and laughter.

The optional 'Kuru'.

Also known as the Brain Prion Disease, you can obtain this sickness by eating Human flesh or fat. This sickness causes Random Tremors, but this is not why we are getting it. The disease also causes random outbursts of laughter for no reason. This symptom is why we are getting Kuru. Imagine this: You've been kidnapped and your lidnapper keeps laughing and shaking at random times for seemingly no reason. Wouldn't this be creepy? To add to the Fear factor, since everyone knows how to get Kuru, they will know you have killed and Eaten another person.

Summary.

The Stalker is the type of Psychopath that doesn't want to be seen until they strike. There are a few ways to do this. It's also fun if you are standing somewhere with 'glowing eyes if that was possible' somewhere behind a tree, bushes, fence or whatever' looking at the player. If the player sees you he'll probably scared or like 'WTF!' Oh well, up to you ofcourse! :)

The shadows and the environment.

This is easiest at nighttime for obvious reasons. In order to conceal yourself better, stand by a Hill or in front of/in a Bush in order to not Silhouette yourself. You can also wear Dark clothing like a Black Raincoat, Jeans and Dark working boots. As long as the colours are dark enough, you should be good. Do not wear bright colours like Red, Green or Orange. If you are seen, double tap "Ctrl" to toggle "Walk", and approach your target, but be prepared to be attacked as you are most likely being seen as a threat. A Ghillie Suit would be the most helpful thing for this. It's not easy to make as you need 10 Burlap Strips and 3 rolls of netting. You can also fing ghille gear at American crash sites (the ones that smoke). If you do not have the time or patience to find/make this, hiding in a bush and not moving will do nicely. Moving around (even just turning) will make noise and possibly catch your preys attention. so if you need to keep watching your prey, hold "Alt" to "Freelook". This will only turn your head and wont make any noise. Once you find the right time to strike, bring out your shovel or sledgehammer, ready your weapon by holding "Mouse 2" (right click), and holding "Shift" and "Mouse 1" (left click) to preform a heavy attack. This is a lot slower than a regular attack, so either be in a confrontation with them or catch them looting. This will knock them out immediately where you can cuff them and do what you please hehehehe.

Summary.

The watcher is the type of psychopath that doesn't care if they are noticed or spotted. They sometimes go out of their way to get seen. This is how the watcher does their thing. You stand somewhere, doesn't matter where, they see you, you walk behind a wall or something. Most likely they will hunt or search you. Stand somewhere random and do the same, like a stalker/creepy person.

Stand, stare and be creepy.

In order to be creepy as hell, you are to sneak up behind someone, preferably while they are still, and stand straight at them, being completely motionless, and to not break eye contact once it has been made. You can grab their attention by making a noise through the mic (Default: Caps Lock), making a loud noise like jumping, or walking towards them from behind. Be prepared to be attacked as most people will see this as a threat and they will go into a fight or flight Response (abr: FFR). If you do not know what that is, a FFR is the body making the mental decision to either defend itself or to run away. Once this has been decided, you can fight back, or stalk your prey. While going with the watcher, you will sometimes have to switch to the stalker route if they choose to run. For this, you will have to carry the bare essentials (Food, Water, Shovel, Cuffs, Cuff Key, Spare Shoes, Psychopath Clothing) to maximise how much stamina you have available to you. If they run, you are to stalk them, and appear behind them once again, and continue on until they fight back, Leave the server or eventually lose you.

Summary

Well, the screamer kinda explains it already. You can be the watcher, the stalker but also both 3.
Simply hide or wait till a person comes by. If he sees you or if you have that feeling like 'oh, he sees me' just run towards this person, scream and shout and just be crazy/freaky... all at once!

The screamer.

Simply do what i told you above in the summary. Wait till you get spotted or see a person. Run towards that person, scream/shout and do whatever you want related to a psychopath. I did this before and trust me, it's fun and made me laugh so hard that i had a bit of pee in my underwear due that person screaming lmao.
