NZ 18 Hackers.

[Revolutions 0]

At about 12am NZ [GMT +8] NZ 18 server got shut down momentarily, upon logging back in, the server had been changed to night, nothing to strange.

About 5 minutes in, a friend of mine get's shot in the street. I'm well in cover, and manage to see a silhouette on the top of the centre firestation in Elektro. My friend runs back and draws his fire while I shoot at him, my friend dies and right as I hit the person on the roof, I get killed instantly, at this stage he was facing my friend who was North and I was South-East.

Anyways, server announces I die, and a player name upside dies. No issues at this stage, just thought it was bad luck. Running back, my friend gets there and climbs up to the roof. This guy has everything, sniper rifles, 3 ghillie suits, GPS, Nightvision, silenced Sidearm's. Right as he finishes looting, he gets killed by another person with a sniper who was shooting from the North East in the hills. At this stage I am running into the West side of town, a good 5minute run from the Firestation, but I end up getting shot at by a sniper rifle from behind. I get into town, completely away from everything and hide in a corner near the church trying to find him. Suddenly he is behind me, and kills me. At this stage we are thinking this is a bit ridiculous.

We start creeping in from different sides of the town, prone and everything, even sitting on the hills in brush just to see if we can find these guys. They find us every time and kill us. On our last attempt to get to our bodies, we end up seeing 2 Snipers, spawning what looked like crates outside the Firestation.

Which explained why they were still managing to shoot at us, after being absolutely fucking terrible aim's, because inspecting all the crates after they had disappeared they were empty, they were spawning ammunition as they needed it.

All we got from it was that the player we killed was named upside.

Hopefully someone else has seen him in an AU/NZ server, his ping was 168 so I think he was a US player hacking on Oceanic servers in case of bans.

EDIT:

Checking in the server list, there is only one other player with a similar ping called Joshua. Might be the other hacker, not sure. Hopefully someone else has came across the same issue and noticed these names.
