Hey everyone, first post. Me and my friend were playing as Hero characters for almost 2 full weeks. We were on about day 13 and we decided to check out NEAF. The server had only 5 people online: me, my friend and 3 others. Those 3 others were down in Elektro. I raided the airfield and found an M9 and some other cool junk. I was recklessly searching as I knew the only possible threats were 10000m+ away. I saw a HUEY and started walking up to it then suddenly heard the crack of a sniper. DMR? I'm not too sure of the sounds. I run for the trees and try to scope the hills. At this point, my friend comes online and I sum up my situation for him. He starts driving to my rescue but by the time he's in the game, I got shot in the head and die instantly (despite being hidden from the hills I thought the shot came from). So I'm wondering, how?! I was the only person in that area and the only threats were miles away. Unless those guys in Elektro are extreme snipers with deadly accuracy, I don't know how I died. Is there a hack that removes your name from the player list so people can stalk servers without anyone knowing they're even there? I just so happened to be filming when this all went down, so here's the video: (again, excuse my recklessness but I was certain there was no threat to be worried about) Maybe you guys can clarify if this was the work of a hacker, or my paranoia. My friend died shorty after whilst heading to NEAF and he said in school the next morning that he was very well hidden under cover in a blind spot. He also died with one shot to the head. Did we both just lose 2 weeks worth of work to some hackers or were we just finally defeated? Thanks everyone. UPDATE!! Read my post on page 2. This mystery goes deeper!

Well my main reason for this hackusation is that it just seems fishy to me. If I remember rightly, there were only a few people online and none of them were the same people from the NEAF shootings. I think maybe one or two of those guys were the same, not sure. I just think that multiple people being sniped by an as50 in wildly different places in a small-ish time frame is suspicious. I see what you mean about the 'in the head' part, that may just be my misinterpretation. As to WHY, I assume it would be so people can't call hacks. If you die for no reason, just falling over dead, then people will call hacks. If you get shot by an as50 then people are more likely to just think they got unlucky. I realize my evidence is low, but I'm not filming 100% of the time so I can't capture everything. If more evidence arises, I'll post it here.

Video is up, but may need time to render. Should be 1080p soon

Important update!!! I crashed my car in Polina and broke 2 wheels and the engine. After finding a wheel, a friend showed up to fix the rest. Just as we met at the car my game crashed. I logged back in only to get killed by someone upon spawn and of course, got accused of combat logging and called a 'faggot' etc etc. I then spawned in the debug plains. Fuck. My friend that fixed my car then got shot in the head by an as50 and died instantly. After walking for a few minutes I crashed again. Upon rejoining I was in Kamenka. I walked for a while to suicide and then BAM, shot in the head by an as50 whilst running at full pelt along the coast of Kamenka. Then, another guy on the server gets killed and I ask "shot in the head by an as50?" and he says "yup". I ask where he is and he says he's at NWAF. This sniper has EXTREMELY good aim. I then went to commit suicide (after another Kamenka spawn) only to be met with a message displaying "Fok off an dont dustirb rustlr" and I couldn't press esc or anything. Was just forced to alt+f4. I hear my character die before then anyways. So, it seems this instant death by a sniper shot to the head is getting suspicious. Who's rustlr? Any thoughts anyone? I caught a video of these events! I will upload shortly!

Well if he's not the bandit, he must have done something wrong at some time. Everyone has done something bad in DayZ at least once. No one has their hands clean. Whatever he did, be it killing me and my friend or some other cause, I'll get him eventually. Maybe make him trust me with my hero skin, although I'd feel like a dick for doing that. Either way, Bens will be dead.

Well I drove a UAZ to NEAF and when I died, it was stolen. My friend drove the Ural there and it also got stolen when he died. The chopper was stolen just a few minutes before. The other UAZ and ATV were not far off, and they were also stolen upon return. We didn't directly lose all this, but our deaths lead to the loss of all of it. And yeah, I guess it's time to hunt Bens. I was just playing on the server again and he's got the most kills so I'm going to assume it's him. Better safe than sorry.

You mean me and my friend were possibly victim to a new hack? Ugh. We lost a chopper, 2 UAZ's, a Ural and an ATV along with an as50, SAW, ak KOBRA and a tonne of other weapons stashed with 50+ blood bags and morphine. I'd be totally ok with losing all of that due to a sniper being skilled because that's MY fault I died. However, if I lost all of this to some hacker that's 2 weeks of work lost in 1 bullet. I don't want to be angry because I know you can't be attached to these kind of things, but god damn I'm frustrated about it :/

Alright changed it. I believe this title is clearer. EDIT: Sorry for the double post :(

Yeah I got back to it a while later and it was busted up. Fully broken and no fuel :(

xZzebuZz and Poizen were a group of 2 Danny and Sneaky Ninja were also a group of 2 Bens was alone, but he was complaining about Cherno. I just said 5 from the top of my head. I'm trying to remember it from last night and I didn't notice the player list in the video. I believe they were in Elektro as they were often talking about what they were doing. The two groups of two joined up and spoke about raiding the hospital and such. They could have just said all of that to trick us, but it was a long trick as they were talking about it for at least 30 mins.

Ah, I see you point upon re-reading my title. Oops. I'm guessing I can't change it which is a shame :( I'd never be so low as to hack though. Waste of everybody's time.
