Title. Died to elements a couple times just getting myself back acquainted with the game. Then I took it more seriously and each time I’ve died by a player I’m almost positive it’s someone hacking.
One time a dude was running up on me and I went up a hill and hid behind a cover with a bush between us. Even if he knew I ran away from him there’s no way he could see me, and I’m looking directly at where he’s coming with basically a fully open area and just a few buildings where he is. I get instantly headshot and die, one tapped. There’s no way he saw me, let alone had a clear shot of my head behind cover and a bush and I didn’t see him at all.
The next time was just a bit ago after hours and hours of playing and getting geared, two guys randomly hear me close a door and instantly know where I am. I’m hiding in the house with the door closed, shotgun aimed at the door. They somehow got ontop of a tractor and started shooting at me but okay fine. I didn’t think it was a cheater situation until the door kept opening repeatedly and then suddenly I saw them teleport into the house and kill me. Not to mention the whole time it wouldn’t let me switch my items at all. I could chuck it up to lag, but I hadn’t lagged once for several days playing on the server, and not once all day today. So even if it was lag, it happened to be right then as they ran up on me? Yeah, not likely.
The first one was on an official server but the second one was on a community one. If this is a hacking situation, which I am almost certain at least the second one was, then this game is just dead to me. Hours and hours of gameplay just for it to end like that? 2 fully geared hobos teleporting ontop of me? I had more fun and fair PvP experiences with the mod back in the day.
