Thermal. I've seen and held that gun before in game, the thermal scope sticks out like a sore thumb, but yea, it's a hacked weapon regardless.

Mkay, here we go. It's like bigfoot caught on camera footage because it was so far away and I only saw it for a second, at least while it was moving that speed. One of the two on the hill hit one of the passengers with a DMR round when the truck stopped, and the target passed out and disconnected. We actually followed the truck and saw it a lot more after that, but it was moving at normal speed, albeit being invincible to our grenade and gunfire. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qf-kTbY5MNw&feature=youtu.be

Yea, I was one of the two people with Soviet Tiger at the time. I caught a glimpse of the Ural hauling ass when they told me they heard a vehicle (was just exiting Cherno, so I had a different vantage point), and witnessed it getting a direct hit with a grenade. Unfortunately I was the first one to die when he attacked us. I was also killed again going back to our bodies to see if I could get it on film. Got myself dying on film, but could barely even see him in the footage. Keep in mind this was BEFORE he killed Soviet a second time while playing ring-around-the-rosie with him, so this guy must've been hauling some serious ass somehow to get to each location, and that's barring how he managed to spot us so easily given our distance between each other, (we were nowhere near the bodies, we were just moving towards them). EDIT: Just noticed I actually caught the turbo Ural on camera during our first encounter, gonna see if I can post it. Other than that, most of my footage is pretty useless.

Welp, they ambushed us out of nowhere using hacked weapons, killed my friend, attempted to steal our truck even though he can spawn his own, and I simply defended our hard earned gear. You be the judge who the asshole in this situation is.

I'm thinking it was just Aldo again, because he's the one who typed "hi" before he AS50'd my friend to death the first time. Either that or we were just unlucky as all hell that night.

Server this happened on - US 922 Time that it happened including your timezone - Sunday, July 29th, GMT-7 (California in case I'm an idiot) Between 9:30-11PM Approx. Hacker's Names - "Aldo" and "Andrew Haag" What happened during the incident - We parked the north side of Ostry mountain for about 30 seconds, and despite my friend keeping lookout (and this guy is extremely good at spotting stuff), he was suddenly shot to death with what sounded like an AS50, only it was extremely close by. I hid in a tree nearby because I'm a coward and was actually alt tabbed when the attack started. I saw them moving around, and one of them walked within a few feet of me, then got in the car. I popped up and mowed em down. I saw the "was killed by friendly fire" and disconnected because that message is usually associated with hackers. I then promptly grew a pair and hopped back in a few seconds later to check their inventories, and lo and behold, hacked weapons. Just before my friend was killed, I think it was Aldo that typed "hi" into direct chat. This is important. I then took the truck back down the coast, got my friend, and drove back up (this process probably took 10-15 minutes). On the way back, as we were driving through a field not too far from the bodies, we heard someone say "HI" and it sounded like it was literally right next to us despite being in a car. Then we took fire from an AS50, again, and my friend got killed, again. I then promptly parked the car, hopped out, and disconnected. If the hacker wants my car that bad, he can have it, I don't care. My friend then got in a car (black SUV) with Andrew Haag after he (my friend) respawned at Solnichny (apparently the car was at the nearby gas station refueling and he bum rushed into the passengers seat) and chatted with him, during which time the hacker asked what he wanted and spawned stuff for him. He has the footage for that though, so I'll have to upload it later as it's on his computer. Here's a video detailing it. I didn't get the actual kills on camera because I was scared and sluggish and didn't press the Fraps key fast enough. It's kinda badly edited and my voice is terrible, but it shows the kill message (including "was killed by friendly fire") and me looting them, then later on my friend getting sniped out of our car. Andrew Haag was the one with the golden AKS, Aldo was the one with the thermal AS50. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8HiiRcvvQeI&feature=youtu.be

Excuse my horribly lazy diagram. No idea if this is actually an official stance of any kind within the police community, but if I was in an apocalypse, in the dark, I can 100% guarantee you I'd be holding my gun/flashlight like that, or in a similar manner. I have no prior training of any kind with firearms (except having gone target shooting a few times), but that's how I'd be holding it. It should reduce your hip fire accuracy and increase recoil though. As for the military flashlight, why not have it like the one above? Then there'd be more incentive to find one because, if it's hooked onto your shirt, then there'd be no more accuracy penalty either. Not discounting the idea of a headlamp, but this can be implemented without introducing a new item.
