Randomly getting a headshot in a closed room being alone (Cheater?!)

[Lark]

It happended to me a few weeks back: I was standing in a small room with just window. Then out of nowhere i just got a headshot. Recorded it with shawdow play. Rewatched it. Could not see any player outside the window. I wasnt even standing in front of it, nor was it possible to see me through. Got pissed, closed Dayz and not played it until today.

Today i was standing inside a room again, on a low populated server and just got shot again, recorded it and what a surprise: no player visible anywhere. I respawnded in the middle of nowhere and instantly got a headshot again... Then i respawned at the exact same location, managed to get back to Brena / Livonia in time and found my dead body untouched / not looted at all.

So who the ♥♥♥♥ is such a low-life and randomly kills players with some stupid cheats??

Or is it just one these exotic bugs dayz has so many of?

Are u hearing a shot or is it just saying dead?

There is a 'Kill Player' cheat, so that is generally what is happening when you just suddenly die, but what cheaters are starting to do to mask it is shoot at u then hit the 'Kill Player'.

Just died an saw blood trails coming out of my head, no shot, no steps, nothing. When the bloodtrails in DayZ are accurate, it makes even less sense, because then i would have been shot straight through the wall, which is not possible in DayZ.

It was definitely a cheater, same happened to me many times on vanilla. Couple of times it was then followed by a raid. And same as you, after respawning first time I was instakilled again. If you search in discussions here, you may find lots of similar cases.

I tried to contact Bohemia support concerning this issue, but they don't care, they just say that BattleEye should be dealing with this.

Haha, and I just realized that the same guy "baddoggs" then came to my discussion and started talking about "gaps in walls" and "shot at range", while it was obviously a cheater.

as a victim on official servers recently, ive experienced what you are talking about. but.... he didnt shoot me through a wall. we had a small gap in the fence, in several fences actually, he and he shot through it, and killed us off 1 at a time.l we have our own server now. not playing on official again, unless its with DoctorV93.

Pretty much every house and most sheds have a window.
I can't count the amount of players i have shot at through windows
both from inside and out. They always seem suprised..
The game is about finding and killing the players on your server
for the most part, They are not going to warn you either,
just shoot you in the head.
I was capped the outher night in a house, through a window
by a freshie with a glock and 5 rounds...:♥♥♥♥: Happens
in the PvP arena. I was "full geared" as well ha ha ha...

Always the forum shills trying to say "nah you just got sniped" even when op says there was no angle and he had recorded gameplay lmao.

That guy has nooo idea what he is talking about lol

Yeah this guy seems to be a complete freak, just read his bio on his profile. Says it all. He completely ignored what i wrote, tried to boost his ego by saying he's killing people like this often... Okay great, but who cares, right?

Its like people in CSGO who say that there are not many cheaters, because they "nerver saw" them. But in reality so many players do it because there are so many sad creatures out there.

Cheaters are a special breed on any online game where competitive edge is what it's all about.

Unfortunately, I don't think BattlEye has a feature that saves a 2-min recording to their databases when someone gets killed (let's be fair, that'd be a bit ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥). This means it's almost always impossible to prove, and people have to be picked up by what BattlEye develops. It's ♥♥♥♥, I know, but it's the way it is with DayZ.

This is also why I play Community servers, that have active administrators, as Official ones are not moderated iirc.

cheaters exist, preferably on full pop 3pp Cherno servers - choose another one.
(or play community servers, there's also less chance of running into them)

I got killed with a friend by 2 russians at 4AM in Portugal (maybe 8 AM on russia) there was only me my friend full looted and the other 2 russians on the whole official server, I went see who I recently played with in on STEAM and there was the 2 profiles russian profiles, they got multiple VAC bans and still playing DAYZ. they killed us even runing in zig zags 3 times to our bodys to get the rest of the loot even being at least more than 200 meters from them (or maybe they were underground). cheaters in this game is a reality like in COD warzone that have more cheaters than animals in Australia. the solution is playing in moded servers, I quickly notice a big diffrence. much more players and notice a big diffrence on my Kill/Death Ratio that increased to 3.00 from a less than 0.40 which clearly means at least 80% of suspicious kills are from cheaters on this official servers.
