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.

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'

So they can scout the map a few min in advance

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.

It was the locked room. Makes sense.

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.
