My first death to a server-wide nuke by a hacker.

[Muncywolverine 236]

Got an error message.

"cannot open object"

10 seconds later everyone on the server died.

I hope this never happens to me. I've died to hackers enough, without them teleporting to random places and murdering everyone. :(

Had me and half my clan killed when a hacker turned everyone into the soldier skin while we were in a helicopter before, we all fell to our deaths and the helicopter exploded.

I had that message, but no hackers as far as I could tell.

There is a normal one weaponcfg, and i had something about glasses that seemed harmless, but scar is not a weapon in the game.

You also see unauthorised rocks.pbo quite often.

Yeah, the message wasn't any of the standard ones. I didn't stick around long though.

I've had numerous styles of hacks done on me. It only happens when a the server I regularly play reaches 20+ people.

I've had the instant kill done to the entire server I was on like 3 times now.

I had one teleport me and everyone else over the docks and all drop to the ground.

I had one where a hacker would individually spawn a bomb to drop on each player one by one, that was interesting, all you hear was a whistling sound then boooom.

I had one where a hacker teleported everyone on the map like 200 meters into the air... luckily I was on a mountain so I only broke a leg, bled and eventually got up and patched myself up.

Had invisible hackers teleport to me and shoot me.

Had hackers teleport other players to me.

Definitely though the most interesting was the thunderdome. A hacker created a small closed area on northwest airfield and teleported everyone there then said 'if you stay alive for 5 minutes, a helicopter will spawn' and put ammo boxes filled with guns like in arma multiplayer. It was actually fun for being killed, killed 3 other players before someone killed me but the helicopter was bullcrap and they crashed the server.

I've encountered hackers on servers with only about 5 players. Hacking seems no longer limited to the populated servers.
