Player scavs and hacks.

[TheGallagherGuy]

So this has happened to me in a previous patch as well, but it has happened 3 times since this patch has been up. I have run into player scavs who lag switch, I will kill a scav and then will just drop dead with no gunshots/anything, and just died in a raid where a scav literally TP'd to right in front of me and a buddy who just killed some players and one shot us in the head. I had fast helmet with full mandible and was going to loot them near a tree with open ground around it and then boom I saw a hand and pm pistol coming out the body I shot with nobody having run up after our engagement. Due to the spot there is no way we missed him coming up. I was dead and less than a second later my buddy was dead by the same player scav. I have encountered far fewer player hackers this wipe, but it seems due to the anonymity of being a player scav the abuse of that feature seems to be occurring more. Is there any way to combat this, or future plans to solve this issue? It wouldn't matter normally, but I definitely know what I experienced and has occurred more frequently.

You called it lag yourself. Besides, you can 1 tap people wearing a mandible with handguns. It's only level 2 protection on the jaw, with nothing covering the eyes. And from your statement the distance was such that he couldn't miss even if he wanted to, and depending on the reaction time, it's easy to kill people in menus that are close to each other

i have to say, since the last wipe i have not seen a lot of hackers so far. maybe 5 - 10

 

before the wipe it was like every 3rd raid where someone obv just speedhacked and aimbotted down the whole team within secounds. it feels great to play right now!

Wasn't in a menu and it was a clear TP. Lag switching is a form of hacking that is used quite commonly in various other shooters. I'm just saying that I have experienced some obvious hacking, speed included, by player scavs who are anonymous because of the name.
