I saw this happening on my server. I'm a little torn on this. It feels like taking the weapons and thinking "I won't get banned for this" just encourages the hackers that we all loathe. I don't think supporting them by playing their "game" is a great strategy. To me, the idea that you won't get banned for carrying hacked weapons comes from ignorance of the weapon's origin. If it's painfully obvious that the weapon or item is illegitimate then you shouldn't take it. My advice would be to log out of that server and contact the admin or cheat forums with server name and time/date so that the person spawning the gear can get the ban that they deserve.

Logs show "Undead Locust" 8:18:07 BattlEye Server: Player #13 Undead Locust - GUID: 985d553d1b4fdfa305b9b7497e79fd43 (unverified) 8:18:07 BattlEye Server: Verified GUID (985d553d1b4fdfa305b9b7497e79fd43) of player #13 Undead Locust Logging in and TPing around the server handing out weapons and vehicles to players on the server. Issuing local bans for everyone that accepted gear and Undead Locust for providing the gear. Would appreciate a global ban for Locust. Not sure whether those that accepted obviously hacked gear should be permanently banned though. ~08:18:07 -> ~08:42:41 time on the ViLayer.com hosted server US958.

I'd pull the console log but ViLayer's interface is being problematic. If more information is needed please let me know.

It is refreshing to get into a firefight and have everyone actually see it through to the end. It was a fun encounter to be sure. Honestly, we'd just stolen the bus from someone's camp. We figured it was yours and you guys were hunting for it. Stumbled across the van while joy riding the coast. Within like 30 seconds of finding the van I saw your ATVs coming down the road. Two of us in the Bus and one in the Van. Was my idea to park the bus as a shield (since we thought you were looping around from the north) and try and take out Skavik. Then we got greedy and decided we wanted both ATVs. I have no idea how we though 3 people could drive off with 4 vehicles. I hate that I was one of the casualties but we had NO idea where you were after we got Skavik. We figured you had doubled back somewhere but weren't sure and didn't have any L85 goodness with us. I opted to act as bait so that buddies could narrow it down. Was hoping you'd miss when I hopped into the bus. I was wrong. We had absolutely no idea that there was a third. But, that's the price you pay for a prolonged engagement. Shame about the Van getting exploded in the firefight. My guys barely escaped. Sub 2k blood on each of them as they drove off in the Bus. Rotating drivers as they passed out. And, glad you like the server. It's actually mine. So, I'll claim some good karma for not being the typical dick admin and restarting/rebooting because I died and lost my kit and some vehicles. ;) We'll be seeing you guys around, I'm sure.
