Can admins see what weapon you are using?

[Alzi 0]

Me and my friends was playing on DayZTakistan - nl112 yesterday. We had 2 humwee's, when some people dared us to come kill them. We killed both of them. One disconnected, but logged back in 2 minutes later. One of them had an AS50 TWS. We told the admins that he had the TWS and that one of them disconnected. 7 other people disconnected on us too, but the admins wouldn't do anything about it. We parked the humwees by our camp with our tents. Today when we logged back in one admin (Sprite) said: Missing something Alzi? then another admin said in the 'admin chat' : "I see you have that as50 TWS alzi".

I wondered how he could see that I had the TWS, since I was almost out in the debug, alone. I dropped the tws, and picked it up again and puted it in my backpack. Then they didnt talk more about it. I asked them how they found our camp, and they said they used a chopper with radar, and they said they could see in the logs what weapon I had. Didnt think that was possable? Then ANOTHER admin said 'hey alzi, remember me?'(THIS ADMIN GOT GLOBAL BANNED TODAY, WHEN HE WERE ON THEIR SERVER) This was one of the admins we killed yesterday, he tried to fool us. He said he needed help at the airfield, and that some bandits were shooting at him. We drove to the airfield, but there was no zombies there, and he still claimed that someone was in the controltower. We drove up the hill, and found a ghillied sniper with an as50 and killed him. This was the admin that talked to us. He had an radio on him. He told me that they are banning for hacked weapons. I said that we told them yesterday that some people used it too, and nothing happened. I said that the radio was hacked too, and why dont you ban poeple for having that? He said he picked it up from a guy, so it didnt matter(lol).

I logged out after arguing with the admins for 5 minutes, to go eat. Logged in 10 minutes later, met up with my friend, and were driving an motorcyle (BEFORE I GOT ON THE MOTORCYCLE, I SWITCHED TO THE TWS). Then the admin SPIRIT said "byebye". And I got banned for the TWS, since they could still SEE that i had it on me, since they were admins. Some other guy on the server said that the admins cheated, and 3 minutes after i got banned, one of the admins got global banned. the admin that said 'Remember me alzi?'.

But HERE is the question; CAN the admin see what weapons and gear people have?..

[Delta Smoke 01 765]

Yes some admins can. There is a new anti cheat program that detects scripted weapons.

[Sgt.Asshat 607]

Pretty sure they can in the admin controls in game

[Sol_Gemini 1]

Yes, They can see everything you have in your inventory.

[Siggy (DayZ) 95]

Admin's can pretty much see everything

[ZTrainz 21]

They can see your position too.

Kinda funny to see all the QQ posts about "I got banned for no reason!!" when you can look at the logs and see what they joined with (starting loadout), what they equipped in the first few minutes (AS50, ghillie, etc.) , where they were (Kamenka) and where they teleported to (Vysota) 30 seconds later.

An intelligent and devoted admin can really make a huge difference, even on a public hive server. They just have risk blacklisting to do it.

If you can decipher the logs, you're good to go.

Load outs, positions, vehicles, tents.

It's a lot easier to maintain control once that's figured out.

A good admin knows how to obtain information, a better admin knows to NOT exploit that information.

I haven't seen any funny business in my server for over a week.

& I have also seen a little less cheatin' going on in my servers lately. It was rare any one of them would get much above 25 players before some tard comes along and teleports everyone to the ocean or starts blowin' up cities. This last week or so I've seen some of them get to 30-45 players and stay that way for 30 minutes to an hour.
