Are ghillie suits back in or did I just survive a hacker?

So I was on US 535 riding around on a bike looking for heli crash sites with a buddy who was on foot. I got separated from my friend, then thought I had found him, only he had a green blob following him. As soon as I realized this was not my friend, I booked it out of there as fast as I could, serpentining my bike as .50 cal and M16 rounds landed all around me. Poor aim aside, I was under the impression Ghillie suits were not available at all in 1.7.2.3, so my question is did this guy manage to hold onto his ghillie throughout all the issues, or did someone do some "soft" hacking to get an edge?

Below: Ghillie suit and Barret on the rightmost bandit. Not sure what the other guy had but it sounded like maybe an M16. Judging by the size of the scope though, probably DMR or a FN FAL with PVS.

People who had suits before can still have them, you just can't find them.

People still hold on to them in preparation for fix.

And duping. Lots of duping.

I tried wearing one today, ended up in the ocean then back in my original location. When I took it off, I took another dip in the ocean then returned to the same spot, with two Ghilli suits instead of 1. Oh well. :rolleyes:

From what you are saying it sounds like they are still broken. Are they not broken for everybody? Can some small percentage of players get a ghillie on without going for a swim? From what I had heard this affected people wearing Ghillies prior to the update as well.

Apparently you can wear them, but the hive won't save the gear you have. You may end up with no gear in a dangerous area. Better to stay safe and leave them off for the time being.

Ok, I think I understand. Was just trying to wrap my head around how it was possible this guy had one without having hacked it in. Not like it helped him and his terrible aim shooting at a guy on a bike moving away on an open field.
