A short story about loot, and death.

[ShobbeZ 5]

I woke up this morning, decided to play some DayZ Standalone. One of my Norwegian friends was playing with me. 

 

We were geared up and had basically everything. Just needed a bi-pod, better backpack, and some more ammo.

 

So we headed down from Zelenogorsk to the small camp between Balota and Zeleno. 

 

After getting my self a better backpack, which wasn't badly damaged and got some extra ammo for my mosin. We then headed down to Balota to team up with some friends.

 

When I arrive at the airstrip i took out my mosin, in panic. Because i saw a guy running towards my friend who was looting the barracks.

 

My friend started talking to the guy and then told me to shoot him. I waited for a clean shot, and then aimed down in my scope and aimed for the head. 

And pulled the trigger. I missed by a few centimeters and the guy imminently became hostile, and started to shoot my poor friend. 

 

My buddy almost died and i ran back into cover to line up another bullet, but got swarmed by 4 Zombies so i couldn't do shit.

 

At that time my friend had bandaged his poor ass up and was ready to shoot. They both bumped into each other and my friend sprayed a full mag of STANAG, and the guy didn't drop dead. 

So at this point the guy took out his M4 and killed my buddy. He raged and quited the Skype call. I lined up a nice shot at his head, pulled the trigger and no sign of death.

Placed another 2 in the guy's chest. But he was still alive and started to shoot at me. I kinda combat logged due that he didn't die.

 

Did this guy hack, or was he desyncing as hell?

 

Now don't comment with things as, Oh you fucking bandit! etc.

I'd say some kind of god mode. No way that desync caused all that, the guy was impervious to bullets. Did you confirm all the hits?

Both me and my buddy saw it spurting blood from that spot.

I would say god mode cheat.... makes no sense... I have 1 shot people before with mosin in chest and they were fully geared. As for your buddies M4 spraying... the m4 is just a glorified Pea shooter at the moment. I kill players just as fast with pistols lol

I prefer to have an M4 for close quarters engagements. SKS for medium. :D

I've had similar experiences with other people. On one occasion a friend and I managed to kill the guy in question to find he had his gear loaded with boxes containing other boxes (medkits, protector cases, etc.) as well as multiple assault vests filled with items in his backpack.

 

Yesterday morning I caught another player with similar equipment to find that I had to use 16 hits with the SKS at below 100m to kill him.

 

Now, there definately are hacks in DayZ, but I have a creeping suspicion that there are certain players either a.) exploiting a glitch that causes the items to "tank" the incoming damage beyond anything intended by the developers or force massive desync as we've seen with these kind of containers in the past.

force massive desync as we've seen with these kind of containers in the past.

Can you elaborate on this? lately ive been having a lot of desync issues. I was carrying probably 4 or 5 protector cases that were layered one inside the other. Are you saying that causes desync? I got hit especially hard with the desync and a zed destroyed my backpack so I ditched the containers and havn't had a problem since.
