Strange death out of nowhere...

[Davidiusz 2]

So... after taking some time to find each otehr at Czernaya Polana, me and 2 friends decided to go check Krasnostav to see if we could find some food, and maybe meet somone (with no upright bad intentions, but thats off-topic). Now, while ont he way we decided to stop in the forest west of the NE airstrip, on the hillside, to check for potential threats.

Now the funny thing - we've stopped for about half a minute when one of my friends drop dead. Just like that. No fire sound, no flying bullet sound. Nothing. I drop dead a few seconds later while hidden from the only direction that would've allowed a shot distant enough for us not to hear the shot itself (still no bullet sound though). Only thing i heard was a blunt sound like someone hiting a zombie with an axe. No hurt message of any kind. Direct dead.

Second friend was dead nearly instantly after. Still no shots nor bullets. He hears footsteps once he's dead though (5s after his death).

 

I managed to respawn relatively close, and run towards the bodies. They were obviously searched, while looking thru them i get killed again, in the same spot (ye, might be obvious, but not like i had somethign to lose anyway), this time with clear nearly point blank mosin shot.

Having respawned quite clsoe again, i try to make a run for it once more. I'm going back to the position, while caring to stay in forest at all times. While going around the hill with the forst i see a player, thats obviously starting at me from the somewhat area of the 'fight', but apparently not knowing i see him too. I ran around like if i was on another way and soon dispaeared behind the hill, he didn't move from his position nor tried to take a shot. Once out of his line of sight, i started climbing the mountain, hoping to flank him.
Suddently while running at max speed beetwin pine trees, once more i hear the axe sound and my legs get broken, followed a split second later with another 'bump' and uncounsciousness. No bullet nor shot sounds.

So, now, question... is that a big mix of unskillness, bad luck and glitches in the presence of a very good shooter; or is it just i found a hacker hoping for easy preys?
Its quite bugging me tbh...

Hacker probably imo

sounds like a hacker to me. I was in Berezino with a couple of squadmates and I thought I saw a guy lagging but he was actually hacking. Shortly there after I got hit with an axe even though there was no one near me. Then i got hit again and boom dead. I shoulda just ran in circles and sprayed my assault rifle. Hindsight 20/20
