Possible Tent Hack (Persistent Weapons)

Recommended Posts

So yesterday I was playing on my regular server (UK9) and happened to come across a tent in the woods. I looked inside and found an M107, and MP5SD6, 3 mags for the M107, a few for the MP5SD6 and also various other mags, blood bags and assorted stuff. I derped around trying to loot it, and just as I was about done I got shot and killed. I didn't think much of it - it wasn't my tent, it would make sense someone might be guarding it.

So I respawned, spend most of yesterday evening and this afternoon getting back to the tent. I get there around 10pm, and I only have the backpack space to take the M107 and one mag. I run away a bit and then log out. About an hour or two later, I log back in with my friend, drop the stuff off at our tent, and we then head back to raid more stuff.

When we get there, around 12:30am, the tent still has a M107 in it, and three mags, despite the fact that I took the gun and a magazine for it. The idea that the tent owner might have gone back and replaced a M107 and a magazine in the space of about two hours seems incredibly unlikely, and I feel it's far more likely that this was either some sort of glitch, or that the tent is somehow hacked to always hold certain things, presumably so if the owner dies he's got a reasonable decent kit-out to fall back on, and nobody can take his stuff in the mean time. That said, I'm not sure if such an exploit would even be possible with the way tent data is stored, so it may well just be a glitch.

If it's not possible to hack in this way, then fair enough. Or if people want to try and find and check the tent out for themselves (we took the M107 for a second time) then they're welcome to.

If you take something from a tent and don't save it the tent goes back to how it was on server restart. Its a know bug.

Ah, that's it then. The server did restart somewhere in between the first and second visit. Thanks for the quick reply.
