Invisibility exploit

[DarkFenix 1]

Server: Portland

Time: ~20:30 - 21:00 GMT+1 (ie. UK time)

User: [A++] GrillX

What happened? Well quite simply the stated user is either using an exploit or hack to be invisible in game, using it in PvP as an 'I win' button.

It was at NW airfield, I'd just logged in, supposedly 3 A++ guys cornered in the fire station. Two were killed by sniper fire shortly after I entered the area, I killed a third on the ground floor of the fire station. Given that we weren't sure of enemy numbers, I entered and climbed the tower, on the second from top floor I was suddenly killed by shots clearly very close by.

I figured he was either prone on the floor above and shot me as I rose or was on the roof and shot me through the window. Something like that. I respawned and ran straight back for my corpse, as I ran my two friends intermittently saw [A++] GrillX's nametag pop up, but never actually saw him.

When I reached the fire station again to reclaim my loot, I entered the tower to find all corpses had for some reason disappeared extremely quickly, as though they had been hidden. I left to enter the control tower, then heard shots coming from back in the direction of the fire station. Zombies were swarming into the bottom of the tower so I proned and waited for someone to emerge. Then a sniper reports seeing blood pouring out of thin air and sure enough a moving blood fountain starts moving past me just a few metres away along with [A++] GrillX's name tag. The penny finally dropped and I emptied a makarov mag into the invisible guy, he killed me just as I killed him.

tldr version: [A++] GrillX exploits invisibility to pvp, this is beyond any kind of doubt. I was less than 5 metres from him and managed to kill him (he was bleeding and it's a nametag server).

There have been reports of invisibility spawning.

It will be investigated.

Thanks.

The same bug reported on RU DayZ section.

Granted he probably was bugged but the guy said that he knew that he was invisible in chat (I was in the server at the time) and yet he was still camping the airfield and engaging players. Thats just bad form.

"It was at NW airfield"

"I was suddenly killed"

"I respawned and ran straight back for my corpse"

"I reached the fire station again to reclaim my loot, I entered the tower to find all corpses had for some reason disappeared extremely quickly."

Either you're bullshitting or just a noob. The bodies were either "hidden" via the "hide body" option or they disappeared automatically in the amount of time it would've taken you to run from the shore back the NW airfield (minimum 2 hours). As for your "loot", it was either taken by other players in the meantime, or just like the corpses, they decayed automatically.
