When it comes to cheaters they are usually 1 step ahead of the people trying to prevent cheating. The anti cheating tech is based on known ways to cheat. The hackers adapt and make changes and once people are hit with them then the defenses are changed again. Many times though the hacker will be at least one step ahead. It's difficult to be proactive enough to stop every attack to prevent the experience from ever happening at all.

After 150 hours my friends and I met our first hacker. We were running and my friend checked his inventory to see his protector case and colt45 "fell" out of his backpack. The backpack was ruined so we brainstormed maybe thinking items could in theory fall out cause its ruined like a penalty. We search around and find the protector case (it had 2 AK101 mags in it) but the case was empty. When my friend picked it up he was suddenly killed out of nowhere. We didn't hear any shots and my other friend and I ran off in other directions, suddenly he says he died as well but still no shots or anything. I survived but probably because I barely had any items and only had a pistol with 1 mag. This encounter occurred at the Jailhouse North of Novo on a server with about 13-15 people. No idea who it was.

Just try and get to the loot before everyone else, it can be done. They are many servers which sit empty for a long time or barely have 1-2 people in it. I don't like server hoppers at all but my fear of them is less about loot and more about the ambushes that happen when looting high value areas. My group has had a clan log in not too far from where we were and ambush from a previously cleared area.

I done like this idea because it exposes you to random danger when you logged out in a safe area. You could log out in a tree line and spawn in the middle of a city. Sometimes your character loads in world before you even see anything and you can be killed. You can still get loot even when people server hop.

Happen three times to me. Its not like before where you get that message warning you about the server is not connected to the hive it just seems to instantly wipe your character the moment the screen loads. Because of this I only join servers that have at least 3-4 people already in them and never right after a reset, been safe so far doing that.

I've never had it happen to me until .48 and it happen 3 times. I know it's an alpha but having it happen back to back to back was brutal.

Extra weapon you carry in your hand? I lost mine 4 times on .47

Lost my hardcore and regular character after sim resets then lost the new character after another reset. Not sure why this keeps happening.
