My life was just saved by a hacker.

[Kerwyn 77]

So it was by no means a connected incident, I guess I'm just lucky. I was looting the hangars up in the Krasnostav Airstrip, when I started taking fire. As I am only armed with my Bison right now, and I could not get a bead on the shooter more than a general direction, I realized my only option was to get the hell out of dodge, and hope that whoever was shooting wouldn't decide to chase me.

I was wrong, he hit me once, luckily not a kill shot, but I managed to dive into a little copse of trees, and once there, apply a bandage. The shooting stopped, but I knew he could see my hiding place, and it was to become a game of cat and mouse, with me desperately trying to find the next place to run to. unfortunately for both myself and my hunter, that's when a hacker decided to teleport everyone on the map to the top of a building and start gunning us down. This was the first time this has happened to me, but I've read the stories here.

Now some may look down on the use of Alt+F4, and I myself would never use it in an honest fight. but when someone decides they're done playing honestly, and seek to ruin the fun of others, well, I feel all bets are off in this situation. Anyway, I managed to get out and log back in on a different server, where I found out that I was on top of the southern fire hall in Elektro with a broken leg. So I patched myself up, and put my Bison to good use dragging myself out of the city.

As I sit by my little campfire, cooking some meat I chopped from a cow on my way out of town, I realize something. That hacker probably saved me from dieing to the man who was hunting me. As he had all the advantages, and I had no chance of fighting back against him from my position, he very likely would have shot me down had we not been interrupted. And you know... that kind of makes me sad, I was making that guy work for his kill count, and if he could have taken me down honestly, he deserved to do so, but his chance was taken from him. I just hope that he got out of that trap and that his gear is intact, so that he doesn't have to start again.

Hmm, not much discussion value here, I just wanted to share my tale, so have any of you experienced anything similar, where something not intended to be a part of the game ended up saving your skin?
