Random Death

[scourg3 15]

I don't understand how I died.

It was night time and I had recently re-spawned near Elektro and started to make my way inside

I find the School House and spot a dead survivor in the middle of the lower floor.

Just as I am about to reach him and have a look at his gear, I hear a shot and a bullet impact near his body.

Now I know I wont be able to loot the body without getting shot, so I slowly move to a side door of the building and peer out.

On top of the building directly south of the School House I see the outline of a player holding a weapon. I realize that he must of been the bandit that shot the survivor that was inside the School House.

I then decide to retreat behind some northern buildings and make my way around the east side of Elektro to reach the building the bandit is on.

Suddenly, I die for no reason, just like that. 12,000 blood gone in an instant. I heard no shot, no loud noises, no quiet noises, nothing at all that could of been a gunshot.

I was also inside a building with no way possible of being seen from the outside, and I was the only person inside.

I had no zombies chasing me, and my ping was also about 50.

So what the hell killed me?

Could have been a hacker. Did you notice if the whole server died as well?

But then again, this is alpha.

It was just me that died, the in-game messages didn't mention any other deaths.

Ok. Might be an Admin mucking around. But, I have died just randomly like that once.

Not too sure what the problem is. You might of been shot though and the sound might of glitched.

It's happened before too.

I was running around between buildings trying to lose a zombie, and I randomly dropped from 12,000 blood to 5,000, and then again from 5,000 to -3,000.

I could of been shot, but yet again there was no noise.

Could've of been a AS50 from miles away. They make hardly any noise when fired at a long distance.

Or a silenced weapon. That's the best chances you got.

Hope this helped :)

The AS50 is possible, I might start testing gun shot sound distances in the ArmA2 OA editing.

But I don't think it was a silenced weapon, it would of had to have been close range and multiple shots to do that much damage, and I would of heard it.

I guess so. Bear Traps?

But it probably was some type of Sniper Rifle.

AS50 can pierce objects, your sound might have glitched out, also headshot silenced weapon?

In my experience/opinion its a glitch. Many a time have I broken a bone and fell over and died at 12k blood with no timer. The only other reason is a hack. Im guessing the latter to be honest as whenever it happens to me it happens to a few other people as well.
