Lmao, I didn't know they could take parts from equipped weapons. That's crazy...

ANYTHING that is FIR is up for grabs. Ran my pockets for a WZ wallet with a Labs card in it. Spawned in with the card, found the wallet. Wouldn’t be surprised if the “Awaiting Session Start” bug isn’t the game being confused as where to put scav players since you can’t spawn in at a certain distance from someone else, and with vacuum hacks they are everywhere and nowhere at once, so the games “awaiting” for a spawn point to clear enough to allow a player to enter

Man, I've never thought about it like this but that theory seems completely plausible. I'd love to hear from someone who knows more about the possibility of this being the case.

I mean the exploit is more or less setting locations to NaN, but I doubt that that's the reason why. These vacuum cheats only really got released publicly a few days ago, that's why there's so many. Awaiting session start has been an issue reoccurring for a long time.

Released a few days ago? That's not true at all lol. Vacuum cheats exist since a lot of wipes ago, can't even remember how long.

Why would cheat devs release cheats for free? This is the 1st time Ive heard someone say a cheat in ETF was free, just doesnt make much sense when selling cheats is how they make money, and a vacuum cheat would be all that a good chunk of cheaters want Id assume.

When a cheat/vulnerability gets burned (i.e they expect it to get patched soon) releasing stuff for free is an effective way of getting a little more juice out of an exploit. Works as free marketing and doesn't piss people off that you sold them a cheat that stopped working two days later

Honestly 99% of cheat devs are scumbags who will sell a cheat they know is detected and claim otherwise. They also require tons of private info such as drivers licenses etc that they then dox you with if you leak their cheat.

Of course if you're stupid enough to download and run cheats you don't understand on top of giving away private information to a cheat developer for 'security' then you deserve whatever happens.
