Invisible hacker gave me stuff, how should I get rid of it?

[Kegan187 0]

I had recently respawned in Three Valleys and went to the barn to look for a gun. Upon acquiring a gun, I headed up the mountain to look for supplies in Soli. About half way up the hill, my leg randomly broke. I had not received any damage at all, full health and no shock. Whilst I was looking around to try and find out what had broke my leg, I saw a random thing of blood pouring down from the air, so I crawled into it to see what it was. The hitbox that it had was extremely similar to a player and would move around. As I backed away from it, I realized I had a different gun. An AS50 TWS with 10 10Rnd. M107 Mags. I open my inventory and this is exactly what I have. A Coyote Backpack, Rangefinder, NVGs, AS50 TWS, M1911 with 7 mags, a ghillie suit, GPS, Toolbox. I could go on, but I'd rather not take the time to as I have everything in that list that is important. He had also given me morphine, which I had used to fix up my leg. I could hear him bandaging himself and then walk around, so I walked away, unsure as to what I should do with my inventory. So, I'm posting this.

I know that I have to get rid of all of it, my only question is how should I? I do not want someone to come across it and think it's legit.

Time to camp cherno now, and snipe hatchet noobs while alt+f4'ing if anything remotely dangerous is heading your way and server hopping like a boss.

Only solution I can think of is to die, respawn, find your body and hide it.

I would love an AS50 with thermal. If I'm not mistaken Rocket said that as long as you didn't hack the items in yourself you were allowed to keep them. But, I'm not 100% positive on that.

[BaitedHook 24]

pretty much this, only the spawner gets banned if you didnt spawn the weapon you can keep it.

now that you are decked out the only thing left to do is snipe newbies in elektro or cherno, if anything shoot back just alt f4, you will be decked out a loooooong time.

if someone kills you just alt f4 fast before the master server have a chance to save then you will just roll back your character.

i hate dc'ers but then i realize its just part of the game now at this point since its unfixable with arma 2 engine

Despite the... circumstances surrounding your acquisition of this equipment and the questionable means of them magically appearing on you, the best way to dispose of the gear is to simply go into the middle of nowhere, and drop it all. It'll disappear on the next server restart.

Or the aforementioned killing of yourself and then finding your body and hiding it.

This is the kind of attitude that perpetuates those actions in the first place. You might as well start hacking while your at it, with that leap of logic.

That was a predator, not a hacker, there is not any hacker on this game (forum dixit)

Haha what a fail post. Rocket posted a while ago that Dc/Alt+F4 is easily fixed and will be in a future patch.

And thanks for letting us know who ruins all the fun of this game... You...

"i hate dc'ers but then i realize its just part of the game now at this point" Part of the game? It's an exploit, learn the difference.

If you dont want anyone to get it I say try to go out in the middle of some pond and drop it there

[resistence1993 6]

Swim out and drop it in the ocean. Feed the fish ammunition

[Dreffh 3]

I remember that Mr.Medic hacker, a few weeks ago, who spawned a fully-armed Venom chopper in front of me

with a message "have fun, courtesy of Mr.Medic" something like that...

i got in and got killed instantly losing all my stuffs... lol. Hacker won... bastard...

[DeadManDan 23]

Ya just find a server with predictable restart times and ditch it all. The haxed weapon of course can be sent to gremlin hole oblivion by simply trying to stuff it into your pack when you only have 1 empty slot in it.

I've seen Dev Team members publicly state on streams that if you come across hacked gear (i.e. from another body) than you are fine. It's running the scripts that will get you in trouble. Can probably find a post from a dev member here confiming this.

How do you know if it is "hacked gear" if it is just lying on the ground?

I was playing a few nights ago and all of a sudden a message came on the middle of the screen in white text, it said "OGUi a present for you". I thought someone was going to use that mass kill hack. But next time I checked my inventory there was an m4 in there and 10 or so STANAG SD mags. I already had a gun that I liked so I left the rifle in the forest somewhere outside of pustoshka, but I gave the ammunition to a friend.

He did say that, but that still doesn't mean you should use it.

A gift from god.

Keep it.
