Exploding Buses.. M4A3 ACOG GL, Horns...?

[haederjonny 0]

ok so i joined a regular difficulty server with around 10 people on it after just dying on a different server. i spawned in near cherno. first thing i noticed was that there were buses literally scattered everywhere, i mean, everywhere, like untouched, fixed buses, like in the shop, in the firestation, EVERYWHERE. and then i saw another player running around, and he got into a bus, and BOOM, bus exploded, player died. i was sure it was a hacker the second i saw the buses, and i knew not to get in them, and then i went to go loot the body, and he had some moderate equipment, not too fancy, and then i noticed another bus, but it was exploded already and i thought, had to be someone getting in the bus, and sure enough there was a body next to the bus, and he had some more gear, and then i thought, maybe i look through the city for exploded buses, and ill find more dead bodies with loot. and sure enough i did, until i found one body, and i was shaking by the time i look at his gun. it was a M4A3 ACOG GL. i was sure i was the luckiest person in the game by then. and he had almost 10 mags, and he had 5 explosive shells for the launcher and 5 smoke shells, also a revovler, and a horn? I got a message when i opened his body saying something about no image, it was for the horn since there was no horn image. so i took all his gear, and the horn, but i couldnt find the horn in my bags, yet scrolling with f allowed me to use it, scared to use it, thought it might explode also. But the gun really shocked me, so i went to the DayZ Wiki and there wasnt a page on this gun, and im starting to think it was a hacked gun cause no way someone found it in cherno cause the guy didnt even have an alice pack, just a regular spawn pack, so i knew he wasnt from the north, and now im confused if this is a hacked gun and if i can get perma banned from the whole game not just a server for having it, i dont know what to do with it, kinda scared at the moment, just aborted when i found out it wasnt on the wiki.

I found a horn on a hackers body at my clans camp I didn't even bother picking it up.

I got a horn as I tried to pick up a crowbar multiple times on a laggy server. You can select it with "F" key. "Fire" makes it honk. After reconnect I still had it. And you can pick it up from a dead guy, but it doesn't show up on the inventory, but nevertheless it works. :D

So, horn doesn't equal hacker

I killed a guy last night in the forest and he had a Horn on him. I picked it up but it wasn't in my inventory. I later realised that i could select it like anything else and it made a loud HONK!!! noise. Pretty cool.

Rocket already stated if you pick up a hacked weapon in game and you didnt spawn it in it is fair game. You will not be banned for this so just enjoy the gun while you can.

For the sake of integrity, dump hacked weapons in a lake or something. I killed a few zeds with hacked weps just to see what they are like, then dump them somewhere or in a corpse and hide it. The As50 TWS is just absurd.
