Bigbadchuck 97 Posted August 22, 2014 Ok so I think I killed a hacker/duper. He had a pristine full kitted m4 and a black tactical vest and only one mag for his m4. The vest isn't a high cap vest or an assault vest. I'm vexed here. Did I do good? I didn't take the m4 but I did grab the vest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odin_lowe 3686 Posted August 22, 2014 The tactical vest used to spawn when the alpha came out back in December 2013, but they removed it around Feb-March. Only players that still had some and dupers may have one. If the M4 did have any hacked infinite ammo mags, it's still a good gun overall. But in the end, yes, you did good.

Bororm 1156 Posted August 22, 2014 I wouldn't take it personally, if his m4 was duped the vest was duped. On the topic of the vest itself, they removed it due to clipping but I find that excuse ridiculous considering how many other clothing items clip. Would be nice if they'd fix it or just put it back in imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been alive since the first wipe son, no hacks or dupes here. survived multiple fire-fights as well.You mean like three firefights? 86 hours in 8 months, you basicly never play. Your forumpost count is disproportional high considering your meager experience in dayz. When I see those stats sometimes I get worried. People who basicly never play the game are all around the forum and reddit. Maybe thats why we get useless items like firefighter clothing? I mean seriously, who is ever going to wear it? No one. Also, nothing personal. Edited August 22, 2014 by Khanarac 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I have way more in the mod, which doesn't even give you hours properly in steam. Please, before trying to discredit someone, don't use steam as a way to do it.

Steam tracks every minute you have SA open, since it's the only way to play. You're just digging yourself a deeper hole here... Just an observation. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schweinsteiger 107 Posted August 25, 2014 Weird. I found a pristine M4 in a house and then found a black tactical vest, all this in the past two days. Apparently the vests are back, or just super rare? The vest is pristine even after several zombie attacks. I just figured the devs made it really tough. I keep four AKM mags in the vest. (I carry my AKM on my shoulder and hold the M4 in my hands). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schweinsteiger 107 Posted August 26, 2014 (edited) Nope, the vest was not anywhere near the M4. And I do not think the M4 is limited to crash sites. The house I found the M4 in had another weapon in the first floor room. I skipped across the street to another building and found more weapons, none dropped. So personally, I think the M4 can spawn anywhere at this point, regardless what the devs may have said about a week ago. The game is always changing so it is, at the very least, a possibility. On the other hand you may be right. It's hard to say at this point. Either way I was lucky because I had a 30rnd. C-mag in my backpack! :) Edited August 26, 2014 by Schweinsteiger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
