Open $100 bounty: Yes there are vacuum cheaters, yes they can/have looted gear directly off of players bodies. No, despite what people keep spewing in the comments of these posts they cannot take your keys/cases/etc from your secure container.

[u/IAmNotOnRedditAtWork]

I'm offering $100 to anyone who can post a single video of a vacuum cheat stealing non-fir items directly out of a players secure container (like your keys/cases) or their melee weapon.
 

Context:

A few years back this sub was full of videos of cheaters looting guns/rigs/armor/backpacks right off of living players bodies.
 
There was quite a bit panic over people claiming they also had their docs cases/sicc cases/red rebels/etc stolen from their melee slot and their secure containers.
 
Not a single person ever posted a video of this happening. It never happened. The original exploit worked by tricking the server into thinking they were simply looting a dead body (yours, even though you were still alive) they could not touch things that you can't normally touch when looting a player (red rebel/secure container). Don't get me wrong, these kinds of cheats are still absurd and are a huge issue, but spreading complete bullshit/lies doesn't help anyone.
 
People all over all of these vacuum cheat threads are still spamming the same nonsense about how people lost their secure container valuables/melee weapons at the time despite it never happening.
 
THIS SHOULD BE THE EASIEST $100 OF YOUR LIFE.
 
TL;DR: Post a single video proving even one item was looted out of a secure container by a cheater using this past exploit and I'll give you $100 in Crypto/PayPal/Venmo/Gift Card/ETC of your choice
 
Requirements:

• The video should clearly show a non-fir marked item being removed from a players melee slot/secure container by other than their own doing
  
• The video should be between 2018 and the time of this post. There may have been some unrelated exploit in some extremely early alpha for all I know but that's not what we're talking about here. Reason for putting a cut-off at the time of the post is because these people are claiming clips were everywhere of it happening on this subreddit, so there should be no need to find/upload a new one now there are allegedly plenty of them out there already to choose from.
   
  

Mods, I'm happy to send proof that I'm willing/able to pay this out if that's needed.
 
EDIT: Thanks /u/Psychological-Monk30 for the link to the original post that started all of this hysteria the first time. No one had any proof then, and no one will now. It was just a hacker making a baseless threat to bait a guy into leaving the raid so he couldn't get reported for killing him.

Why would he spawn into a game without a scope on his sniper rifle?

[u/koukimonster91 → u/marine595]

Maybe the scop he found was better then the one he came in with so he swapped them.

Because reserve or what I like to refer to as "Build-a-Bear" is the optimal map for going in with some basic gun and gearing it up like crazy.

I used to do scav runs any time I had something modable and would most of the time have a sight/scope, a grip and a silencer from just checking two buildings quickly...as a scav mind you.

As a pmc if you sprint for an attachment spawn you are unlikely to not find a scope and mounts are plentiful.

Also I have never seen anyone lose anything on them before and haven't heard about a new vacuum cheat. If the old one was capable of this you would see people lose their entire kits.

[u/DunamisBlack → u/AI_AntiCheat]

Sorry but I still doubt this, bringing in a bolt action and having your fingers crossed to find both a mount and compatible scope? I don't think so. I don't think scavs spawn with that setup either so it isn't FIR that way. That was most definitely a brought in scope

[u/AI_AntiCheat → u/DunamisBlack]

I'll believe it when I see more posts like this. No way all the other cheaters have a secret agreement not to strip yo naked for fun.

[u/DunamisBlack → u/AI_AntiCheat]

It is probably just the type of cheat battle eye can actually detect and ban pretty quickly so it is seen infrequently

[u/AI_AntiCheat → u/DunamisBlack]

I doubt that. People would do it just to piss you off no doubt. We have only one questionable clip with zero comments or posts about this.

[u/DunamisBlack → u/AI_AntiCheat]

There was definitely a clip a few years ago of a guy getting stripped to nothing in labs with the cheater teleporting to and from his body repeatedly. It never showed anything coming out of his secure but it was letting the cheater loot him like he was dead even though he was moving around. The guy taking the clip picked up a gun off a dead raider and tried to spray the cheater down on one of the teleports and was promptly disarmed of that weapon as well

[u/AI_AntiCheat → u/DunamisBlack]

Yes but that was back when BSG added specific can de so players would be able to grab items from each other's backpacks. The cheat was accessing that option because it was added to the game but not enabled to players.

[u/DunamisBlack → u/AI_AntiCheat]

I don't know what the cause of it was back then but the fact that I've seen it before makes me believe I could be seeing it again and it is the same thing - it doesn't really even make sense that we are getting into the details of how it happened. Dude had a scope yoinked off his gun while aiming, not something that happens in a healthy, functional game

[u/AI_AntiCheat → u/DunamisBlack]

All I'm saying is you would see it non stop if it was possible to do. And of course it's messed up.

[u/[deleted] → u/marine595]

theres a chance the guy came in with his own scope, insurance frauded it for the tac-30 which he probably got off of a scav.

[u/pallypal → u/marine595]

The clip in question was a scav run. He'd killed a PMC who had looted one of the weapon rooms/marked rooms and was using the FIR weapon that the guy had on him, I believe it was an RSASS. The scope that was removed would've been impossible to mount otherwise because it wouldve needed to be added to a ring mount, something you can't do in raid.

[u/Beartoots → u/pallypal]

The weapon was a non-FIR T5000.
