Unsure what I've seen. Cheating?

Recommended Posts

Dear reader,

tl;dr? read only the bold parts.

I'm unsure what I've seen, but I thought this was the right place to create a topic, just in case it's indeed about cheating.

I'll try and keep the story simple. A while ago me and a friend joined a server, when I noticed we weren't alone on the roof of the office building. I could make out a hand on the other side of the roof, through the doorway. So, we creep around to see who is there.

Here we found the most astonishing sight: 4 people standing in a circle, pointing their weapons the same way. my heart jumped and I immediately opened fire with my lovely M249 (especially deadly for this kind of encounter).

Nothing happend. Blood came out but they stood still like statues. Closer examination showed us that the four were already dead. They were filled with loot and various weapons. All kinds of rare equipment like NVG and Coyote backpacks.

We started checking around, and sure enough, on the very top of the office building were two more dead statues, also filled with loot!

Now comes the final piece of my puzzle, I started examining all the bodies and they all turned out to be the same guy, "died of an unknown cause".

I've been thinking about this for a while now and decided to post here. I don't know if this is some kind of known bug, or if this is a new way to cheat. They looked to be the old dead characters of the same guy, in various 'stages' of gear advancement.

I havn't included any names in here, just in case it's just some weird bug, didn't want to alarm anyone. But if the admins would like I still have his name, and the server this happend on.

Kind regards,

Siparti

I believe that this is a bug. I've seen this multiple times too. Probably just something to due with the ArmA II engine itself & it's compatibility with DayZ.

theres hacks out there that allow "bodyguards" to be spawned in to protect the player...this could be the product of a player spwning bodyguards that bugged out or didint know what to do when they logged out.

just maybe?
