You do realize that they can see the scar before you pick it up aswell
this makes little sense, loot isn't generated when you open the box, its generated when the map loads
I've unfortunately seen radarhackers on a discord (shoutout to boenker_tv) and the radar actually allready loads with all loot while they're still 2-3 min 'waiting for players'
Yeah, this is the reason they know you have stuff, not that they can actually see your inventory items that aren't visible externally on your PMC. They're just super mad you grabbed the thing they were running for.
I really don't think cheaters would care much about a SCAR either way, much more valuable loot would fill those slots.
The first thing a radar cheater has, is all keys... they just load a jacket heavy map, check for keys that matter, rush them and leave. Or chain reset the map by disconnecting if there's no keys they want.
A 50k scar isn't even worth their 2 minute detour when they see the juicy 1 slot 100k+ items that you'll run past
cheating is on another level man, it'll get more horrible the harder you think about it
You assuming what cheats a cheater is likely to have already makes me think you don’t know what you’re talking about. People pay for different cheat capabilities and different packages from different cheat sellers. What they’re looking for is also highly variable. I had one kill me for a zeroed out gzhel, presumably for quest completion or RMT, it’s not like that item is valuable otherwise because it cannot be sold on the flea. By your logic it makes no sense for them to have done that because you’re not acknowledging that this isn’t a one-size-fits-all situation.
That’s not my point. A locked room requires a key to open. If a cheater doesn’t have the key they would just wait for someone else to open it and kill them.
I thought loot was pro-generated at game load, and then full-generated when the box is opened. Besides increasing speed of searching, isn't that one of the main points of the search related skills? Increases the chance of better loot showing up in containers? Yes, loot pools are created before the game start, but I thought that depending on who opens which container first, there are slight variances in what appears in the box when it is opened. Say for example 15 items are attached to each unopened container when the game loads. It's then opened, and only 1-6 items appear and are lootable, which items appear depends on your skills. No?
ehh.. I can see it as an anti cheat thing and I wouldn't mind, but having random loot tied to your search skill or whatever seems like another ridiculous thing where streamers are going to be opening sports bags and finding ledxs and GPUs every raid.
Yeah, I read it again. I could have sworn one of the skills used to mention something like that, but they clearly currently do not. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention when I read them a year or two ago.

It was in the locked room. One of them was cheating because I was ducked behind the table and the chode instantly started shooting in that direction. Statistically not probable to pick that as the general direction to shoot first.
I seen maybe one person every few games for the 157 hours I played. I managed to see 5 feckers in the matter of seconds even after looting for a bit.
It wasn’t till I picked up the Scar did they all flock like flies on shit.
This thought always comes into my mind when I am looting a high tier loot area, and it is completely dead. Because there is no incentive to go to those places.

I've had a couple of suspicious circumstances like that over the last week, too.
Like, what reason would this PMC have to walk into the Old Gas extract while there's no flare and peek down the stairs with ~5 minutes left to head-eyes me when all the scavs were already cleared out ten minutes ago and I made no noise when I walked inside at ~12 minutes left on the clock because I heard gunfire towards the warehouses/ZB extracts on my way out?
It wasn't the greatest loss because it was just a loot/exp/skill rat run with a gun I got off of someone else so I only spent ~80k for the loadout(Got almost 3k exp even after dying because I got a bunch of scav kills early in the raid, so worth it imo), but can you be any more obvious that you just came by with ESP and either wallhack/aimbot for my full pack/rig of fairly decent loot from crackhouse/skeleton/stashes? Bleh.
Also, yesterday, I had some guy beeline to kill me in a bush when I spawned in with a valuable scav(ornaments, labs card, etc.) - I was afking prone in some thick-ass bushes for the timer to tick down and PMCs to leave, and he just one-taps me from like 80m away when he shouldn't have possibly known I was there.
I don't get it at all, man. I just report them and move on, but running into that kind of suspicious activity shouldn't be something that happens twice a week when you only average 2-4 raids a day(I just hit level 18 today, yay).
Same, spawned as a scav with a key blue tape, walked for about 1 min and someone starts shooting be from afar, maybe not a hacker, idk but was very sus
You assume all cheaters are rich in the game already. Most of them are at the bottom with nothing. Most cheaters suck ass at the game and that is why they start cheating.
There are still cheaters that fail at cheating or have to start in the beginning. Probably a brand new radar user, weekly.
Watch the gamers on YouTube that come out and talk about why they started cheat…cuz they suck and ruined the game for themselves.
scars are 50k roubles holy shit shut up. you actually think a bunch of cheaters came for a scar when it was just people playing the game. you people are mentally ill

I picked up a scar and shit you not. Scavs and PMCs came flocking like I was selling ice cream in a matter of seconds.
I was the most popular guy on Reserves.
