You cant.

You cannot loot it off a dead body if they have it on, unless it is just in their inventory.

You are just going to have to find another one.

Step 1: hope they aren't wearing it.

Step 2: take it from their inventory/backpack

Step 3: ????

Step 4: profit

So a little background. Those camo and ghillie suits stop existing when a player puts them on. Whats happening is, your character is being replaced with another one that has a different appearance that is consistent for other players (the original civilian skin is generated client side, so five different players looking at you will not all see the same appearance). Your character is literally replaced. If you are crouching or lying down, you will stand up. If you're holding a sidearm, your character will switch to a primary if available. Currently, you will lose your backpack and have it replaced by a starter 8 slot backpack...Magic!
