TODAY: 8/16/2023 I died by a cheater. This happened at 9:10AM EST US time. I was inside an apartment building for at least an hour trying to build a base. I heard shots in various areas around me. It is 9am here, so not many ppl are on the server ( DayZ US 3664146 ). Seemed strange, but I kept building, about 10-15 minutes later I get hit (ruins my bag and my shirt and my boots), but im still alive. I think no way another cheater, then I run upstairs to a central room and lay down with no windows (bathroom). I hear another .308 shot from afar, and then "you are dead"
I have over 5k hours in this game, and never once reported the several times ive died from a cheater, or had my base broken into by cheaters. It is very obvious and I've had enough, this game is becoming unplayable for me.
I've died plenty and from head shot in the woods, all kinds, I know its typically legit kill (or so I hope). There are obvious reasons this time and several times before that a cheater killed me.
I've been with a team of 3-4 guys; we are in different areas of the map, but within 100 meters. Someone dies, then all three other ppl get killed in different angle and in different spots, its obviously a cheater. Happened on Sunday, I'm extremely fed up with this!
