Random gear appearing at base.
Reviewed, NormalPublic

Description

Hello, A friend and I are playing on a community server (redacted).

He has built a large base inside (redacted) on Chernarus.

At about 0547 UTC on 18th September, he was logged in and found a vest containing grenades, ammo, and other bits, something a geared player might normally have. Initially, we worried someone had entered the base? But that did not make sense.

As we discussed it, I logged in and we found more gear where there was none before, then for the next hour or so it just kept on accumulating. Each time the same combination of items.

At first, we started moving it into storage, but after a while, it got ridiculous, more or less every 5 minutes one or more would magically appear. Each time they would be the same.

Here are some of the items the

  • KA-47 with Buttstock, Handguard, Bayonet, 30rd KA-74 Mag (worn) with 19 rounds + 1 in the chamber (all other items pristine)
  • DMR (worn) with ATOG 4x32 Scope (pristine), 20rd DMR Mag (worn) with 10 rounds + 1 in the chamber.
  • Plate Carrier (pristine), with Holster (damaged), Pouches (badly damaged), 6-M7 Frag (damaged), EGD-5 Frag (pristine), 6-M7 Frag (worn, in last slot), pouches empty.
  • Plate Carrier (as above except), only one 6-M7 Frag (damaged), 13 x 0.308 WIN Rounds (pristine) 10 x 0.308 WIN Rounds (pristine), 5 x 0.308 WIN Tracer Rounds (pristine), 12 x 0.308 WIN rounds, 2x5.45x39mm tracer Rounds boxed (worn, badly damaged), Nota Cola (damaged), Canned Spagheti (pristine), 10x5.45x39mm rounds (pritine), 4xBoxed 0.308 Tracer Rounds (badly, damaged, damaged, worn. One box or worn 0.308 WIN rounds (worn), 10 rd DMR Mag (damaged) with 10 rounds.
  • Combat Pants (pristine) with 6xLand Mine (pristine, badly, worn, badly, pristine, pristine)
  • Field backpack full of Land Mines (verious) and a bear trap (pristine)

Steps To Reproduce

The base consists of about 6 gates, and several walls, on the top there is a

  • Large tent
  • Medium Tent
  • Canopy Tent
  • 6 creates (approx)
Additional Information

We don't use mods, we don't cheat

Can provide screenshots.

I've notice the game tends to get confused when there are many items in the area. So I closed all the barrels and threw as much gear over the wall and it seems to have resolved the problem.

The gear seems like a real player's gear being duplicated in our base for some reason.

We have been hearing nonstop explosions from around the map, suspect other players have been getting free greanades and mines also???

In addition. We play on (redacted) server cause it's usually nice and chill. The previous day there seemed to be an unusual influx of traffic. I think it maxed out at one point. Not sure if that is related.
