Yes and no. Duping is still possible. The only feasible way is to server wipe. Keeps the game fresh and removes the need to stockpile/dupe gear. Yes people may moan about base loss and what not but other games like RUST do this very regular.. Another alternative is to perhaps limit the amount of times a player can log in/out of the same server over a certain period.

Helis are definitely on private servers. I encountered 2 over 2 days (1 each day), both fresh with all the gear and infected guarding/walking around them. Just been unlucky not to find any.

I would say no, its not purely an argument of cheap vs expensive. I have astro a40s with mixamp. At the time they were the best part of £130, certainly not cheap.. When using the mixamp when compared to plugging in directly to the controller there is a noticeable difference when testing with the adjust microphone options on PS4. Its much clearer when directly connected to the controller. The game has in built voip and the quality can be adjusted from what Ive seen on private servers at least. PS4 party quality would be a Sony thing...

Each new update will certainly require a server side wipe. It helps keep the game fresh and with the added new features/bug fixes etc. Also gives players a new/fresh challenge. If its a private server, there may be an option not to update, therefore no wipe. However, playing on that server means no updates to the game. I don't run a private so cant confirm on that, just presuming... Games like RUST have regular server wipes. Some servers wipe on a weekly basis!

Of late i've not had many rendering issues. However last night, I scoped in and had just the grey square in the middle of a fire fight with two people. Luckily I was quick enough to switch to 3rd person and kill them off. There's 'quality of life' improvements in my view. Lock items to a particular inventory space, so it stops them moving around and having to hunt for them. The combat/kitchen/hunting knife doesn't seem to stay in the assault boots when switching too and from, appears randomly within the inventory Hold two items at once? For more combing recipes... No leg style holsters? When crouched or prone, you should be able to hold your breath for longer. I've likely forgotten some I had though of recently, but I feel these are the main ones..
