I run with an AS50 usually. I have found many in my time, some at choppers others taken from pvp. While I obtained all mine via legitimate means (ie no hacking, duping, etc), I highly suspect some that I get by killing other players were acquired through illicit means... :(

It was not fixed as of 8-1 (Weds); however, there is a specific procedure you can follow to have no ill consequences. The current issue is that putting on a skin (camo/ghillie) rolls back your backpack to the backpack you were wearing prior to your current backpack, ie if you had a patrol pack and then found and ALICE pack and are currently wearing the ALICE pack then putting on camo will destroy your ALICE and you will be wearing an empty patrol pack. Hence the solution is simple. Place your backpack on the ground (or in a vehicle/tent). Now, wearing no backpack, use the camo. Your backpack will revert to the last backpack, which unfortunately means you'll dupe whatever backpack you currently have. Now that you have camo on, drop the duped pack (which should be empty), and go equip your real backpack which has all your stuff. Good luck. PS if this current bug is truly fixed then my post is pointless, however since there hasn't been a patch since this current bug came out I'd play it safe and follow my post. And be nice, don't keep the duped pack.

Agree.

OP raises an interesting point. The only difference between his "Persons 2, 3" is that Person 2 found his vehicle at a known spawn location, Person 3 did not. In other words, people look up spawn locations, run to location expecting to find easy vehicles, find that the vehicle is no longer at spawn location, and then proceed to complain on forums that "exploiters" are "hoarding" vehicles. On the other hand, people such as Person 3 who spend time exploring the map can find vehicles hidden at non-spawn locations fairly easily (I know I do).

I believe you can cook meat on the fire barrels that are all over the major cities. Can I get a confirmation on this?
