M4A1_HWS_GL_SD_Camo possible hacked weapon?

Recommended Posts

To my knowledge, the silenced version of this weapon is not in the game. The HWS GL version is, however. Am I in the right for banning a player with it?

That shows the HWS 203, which is not silenced. I've seen the wiki. I just don't want to ban for a mislabeled item in the server logs.

You're not getting banned for using hacked weapons.

I'm attempting to ban from the server for using a hacked weapon. Battleeye can ban or not ban all it wants. If it is clearly not in the game, and someone continues to use it, then my suspicion rises, and I'm inclined to take action. If it is in the game, and you find a hacked weapon, I have no problem.

Anyone willing to give an answer about this? If it is a hacked weapon that shouldn't even be in the game, banning should be applicable. I can post the logs, and it can be reviewed. As it is, only banning the individual running a script would enable a clan to buy a single copy of Arma 2, hack a few 100 weapons/items into the game, and then distribute them to players not running scripts. Said script running copy would be banned, but the damage of exploited weapons would continue, and that is if the hacking copy was actually discovered, which is not a 100% thing.

TL:DR: Can I get a definitive answer over whether using a hacked weapon that isn't even in Day Z is a bannable offense?

Someone made a similar post a while ago, check out my responses on there re: this particular weapon.

The thread you linked to confirms that a HWS 203 CAMO exits, not a silenced version. M4A1_HWS_GL_camo is not silenced, and is in the game. The M4A1_HWS_GL_SD_camo is not stated as existing in the game, as per your link, and the links within it. A M4A1 SD Camo exists, but that is a different name entirely. But, as this is a repeated question, and has never received an answer, I'm going to keep repeating it until an official answer is given.

Devs or forum moderators: Does the M4A1_HWS_GL_SD_camo exist, and if not, is it bannable with sufficient evidence? Again, I point to the fact that someone could spawn in 100s of weapons at this point, store them, distribute them, never use the hacking copy of the game again, and cause harm to the game via a rather massive cheating hole.
