Arrow indicates direction of other players.
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

An indicator appears, which points to other players.

I have seen this three times. Once it pointed at a player, once another player saw one pointing at me, and another time it pointed at a car. It is possible it points at some object being carried or contained, rather than at the player/car per se.

The indicator looks like two triangles, which appear on walls and floors, tinted slightly darker than the rest of the texture. Sometimes the triangles are easy to see, and other times difficult, depending on how flat and plain the surface is.

The indicator is very responsive to movement of the target. The range is at least 200 meters.

Steps To Reproduce

I cannot reproduce this at will.

Additional Information

I have captured this on video every time it has happened. One occasion is posted at http://youtu.be/LVSfPMDnxQw. The indicator is on the firestation wall, and points at me (out of sight on the roof). The arrow moves because I was scared of snipers and kept moving constantly.

I can provide you with better video if you want.

i just found a carbine hidden in some grass by following these arrows. i suspect that if i were to carry that carbine around the arrows would follow me.

edit:
it's because of the CR527. i've tracked down those shadow arrows over half a dozen times and each time it lead me to a CR527, either on the ground on on a player.
