possible kind dupers?

[blockheads 1]

So yesterday night I was trying to join up with some guys from the forums, as I spawned to get to there location I had to run trough cherno, as I ran by I saw the construction site, and just had to go up. I heard some guy drinking, and I had nothing so I decided to just say "oh crap someone just drank" as if I was with a group or something. Then I roll up the stairs, saying "hello how are you guys doing" then these two guys let me loot a dead player with a gilie, they said he glitched out, after wards that same guy came back on the server with full gear on, and then the duper gave me a gillie and a full set of tools other than range finders and NVG. it seemed because we all had a dmr and a gillie I assumed they were duping but they could of just been sever hoping and been giving me gear IDK. then for about a hour we camped out in cherno and didn't find anyone to help out, but IDK why these guys just chose to hand out gear, if they were dupers they probably would just kill everyone on the server :P.

Anyways if possible can you clear up with me if these guys were dupers or what went on there, IDK how the dupeing glitch works, but I may of been a counterpart of it... Which makes me feel bad :(

Hello there

Simple solution.

Put all the gear they gave you onto a dead body and click on hide body.

Job done.

your ok man. you got lucky they didnt kill you. They are not technically cheating but in a way they are. They are not hackers but just regular players taking advantage of the known bug/glitch associated with duping an identical copy of ones gear on person. If they were kind enough to allow you to partake than i would consider yourself lucky and keep what you were given and roll out.

Sometimes I think people assume wrongly that a guy kitted out in top end gear is a hacker or a duper. At the moment I'm carrying top-tier equipment including a rangefinder and NVG's. It's taken me a long time to get the kit I want. I have a tent with some spare kit so that if/when I die I can get kitted out again quickly.

They may have been dupers or hackers, the only way to deal with the problem is for it to be patched out in the future.

they are using a exploit. a really stupid simple exploit. glad to hear they shared the wealth. go wreak havoc now till you die and start all over again.

I'm the same.

Never duped a single item. Worked hard (raiding heli crashes, barracks, airfields) to get my stuff. Or made trades to try to get stuff i cant get myself.

Not all of us dupe. The sooner they fix this and the tent bug, the sooner weapons & equipment can get back to being as "rare" as it's meant to be. :(

Thanks for the advice, I think rather than killing random people, I'm going to help survivors, not kill them. Or i may just put it on a dead body and hide the loot lol.

You should look at becoming a Medic. It's good fun and forces you into some tricky situations.
