Did the heartbeat bandit feature get removed?

I was looking at a guy inside a apartment up close and personal, he threw a tin can at me. there was no heartbeat before and i shot him anyways, I got a bandit kill. what happened to the heartbeat feature?

I have a friend who is a bandit, and one who is not. No heartbeats on either of them. They don't hear it on me, and I am a bandit. It probably is glitchy.

I never got that heartbeat shit for some reason..

Dunno, last time i was tried to axe some freshly spawned dude with no weapon i heard insane heartbeat. He ran away though. I thought it was weird since that "bandit" was obviously freshly spawned with no gear at all. Blergh. I guess it is bugged/glitchy.

It works. I found a group today and I had no guns but I guess since I had murders on past lifes they could hear a nice heartbeat. Needless to say we were heading out to stary together and I found a crashed heli. It had a gun so I picked it up to fend off zombies, I dont think they trusted me that much. Ended up getting a bullet in the head.
