Yeah, I've been playing for ~4 months and haven't encountered a single hacker. Though, I've looted plenty of corpses filled with military gear (absolutely no free slots) and, strangely, no food or water. I guess I'm just lucky? On a side-note, I've noticed (in videos) they all seem to spawn the AH-64 even though the Hind-D is much more efficient at killing players. You get double the rocket load, minus 4 AT missiles and it doubles as a transport for all their hacker buddies. :rolleyes:
How would this be any different from the current gear system? You're already able to put items into other players' inventories and take items from their packs. If anything, this system would be slower since both players have to confirm the trade; You want your buddy to continue to have situational awareness and send rounds downrange as you resupply him.
DayZ Single Player Mod: [REDACTED] This should allow you to figure everything out. you can play it normally or enable cheats which allow you to spawn any object, weapon, vehicle, or animal in the game. There's options to disable zombie damage, change the game time, or player model as well. Install help is in the readme, hope this helps :)
