No if you dont spawn them.

you CANNOT be banned for using hacked stuff, only creating it.

ignore any retards that post the may 8th post saying you do get banned as it is extremely outdated.

At the moment we do not punish possessing them, but we do punish spawning them.

I would simply advise avoiding them. There is no telling when battleye may find a way to trace them and act on its own. We do not control battleye.

From the man himself in another thread asking the same question:

No

This rumour has no basis to it whatsoever.

Using a hacked vehicle/weapon will identify you during database analysis, and your character may receive special logging attention in the database, but you will not receive a ban without creating them yourself.

Regardless, if you're fully aware the weapon was scripted in, you shouldn't be involved with it. It's just frowned upon.

EDIT: Yikes, I step out the room to do a little research and I get triple ninja'd.

No, you will not get a global ban for picking up a hacked weapon. Only if you are found to run scripts. From BattleEye

"No one is banned for using non-hack programs (like Fraps, overlays, etc.), picking up or using hacked in-game items, weapons or vehicles, being on a server at the same time as a cheater, or other passive non-cheating activity. Therefore all requests mentioning these things as possible reasons for the global ban are ignored."

A local server admin may kick you if he wants, but you wont get a global

Or ban that's more than likely. Better to just ditch the weapon tbh. I certainly ban for having AS50 TWSs and such... there are plenty of other servers for them to play on if they get banned but i prefer players not having an unfair advantage agains't other players on the server. Its such an overpowered weapon!

From BE no, from server owners and admins, oh yes.
