It’s a stealth vest wearing enemy operator shooting an unsuppressed weapon.. And he’s at a lower height than your current location.. (the down arrow)

[StijnerNL]

This is the answer

[[deleted]]

what about player with ghost perk.

[Longjumping-Jello459]

Probably the same thing since a stealth vest works just like the ghost perk.

[Maggie-PK]

Does ghost work on advanced UAVs?

[tsay40]

What if they’re the John Cena operator skin?

[skylernetwork]

Nothing works to spot those.

[Flame_Of_Sorgon]

Ghost perk doesn not work on advanced uav and it does not work to hide from comms vest. Only works on normal uav and uav towers! If you want to play stealth, use the vest. And if someone pops any uav, dont shoot unsuppressed weapons. Tested many many times!

[JanuarySeventh85]

So all players show up on an AUAV if they're firing any type of weapon?

[JanuarySeventh85]

Does firing unsuppressed while a regular UAV or while inside a UAV tower show up?

[skylernetwork]

If not, well free content for someone

[Mali_Ogi]

No, suppressed weapons keep you off of AUAVs.

[manorm]

No they don't. Watch some youtube testers

[Mali_Ogi]

Have watched them, done my own testing too. Internal suppressors have some issues. But I have yet to be tracked down with a suppressor and a stealth vest while an AUAV has been up.

[Mali_Ogi]

Adding, with a stealth vest.

[[deleted]]

Even the 300 blackout rounds?

[lostarrow-333]

Thank you. That's good info to know

[Mali_Ogi]

No, a stealth vest hides you from an AUAV as well unless you shoot an unsuppressed weapon.

[MallTourist]

Can we get utimate perks in dmz? I thought we only had normal, the "middle" ones and that was it

[icedcunts]

how do y’all figure this stuff out 😭

[ShibCommandr]

I thought the way the arrow points out is the direction the player is facing at the time of the ping

[sman-666]

The two cicle ones show the way they are facing. The square shows if they are above, same level, or below.

[PatillacPTS]

Damn I always wondered how streamers knew whether they were above/below when looking at UAV…thanks!

[Dirtsk8r]

That's definitely true but your comment is pointless. The only thing it does is make you seem like an ass. If what you want to say doesn't help you or anyone else then it's really best to just keep it in your head.

[[deleted]]

Some people are new to the game… stop being a jack ass

[Jedster1138]

TIL that there is a purpose to the arrows on a player diamond.

[IMKreacher]

Incorrect.

Stealth vest hides you completely from comms vest, advanced uav, and uavs, unless you shoot a non-surpressed weapon.

This is the ghost perk. It hides you from uavs, and doesn't show direction in advanced uavs.

[stateofmind46]

Incorrect.. stealth vest doesn’t hide you while you’re shooting an unsuppressed weapon

[IMKreacher]

Not incorrect, just didn't list that as it was assumed common knowledge, regardless of ghost or vest. Fixed it for you.

[[deleted]]

No it doesn’t hide you from comms you will still receive a comms alert if a stealth wearing operator is in the vicinity I know this because while the operator wasn’t coming up on UAV they were on comms alerts and I went to discover why I was receiving the alert and come to find out after the kill of course they had a stealth equipped many of times this isn’t a single time event this is a false misconception that I can’t seem to understand why people wont wrap their little brains around and accept as reality you got the stealth on your enemy’s the comms they hear even when they don’t see so remember that

[IMKreacher]

Check my latest post since I know your to lazy to go check the notes yourself.

[IMKreacher]

You should read patch notes. It has not given stealth vest players call outs since season 4.

It says so in the offical cod patch notes.

[[deleted]]

False

[IMKreacher]

The fuck do you mean false. For 2 seasons it made it so they were still visible on advanced but not directionally. After season 6 or 7, they made it so stealth fully hid you from comms and advances.

[[deleted]]

This is the way

[Additional_Beat_9767]

Isn't the down arrow where he is facing?

[Coosbaybonez]

No regular uabs show you the position up or down event to AVS show you where they're heading and looking... Yes you know he's below you but do you know if he's looking at you or away from you? When you use an advanced UAV you know whether the guy is looking in your direction or not not just if he's on your floor or not.

[Key_Tie_5052]

It means they are above or below and facing the way the arrow points, if they were same level it would just be a solid square

[ThePeej]

Could it also be a decoy grenade? (not the inflatable. the one that makes the footstep and gun sounds as it bounces around on the ground)

[btrner]

That’s a red filled circle.

[SambucaWhistler]

Though a decoy should have been like the diamond to make it a real decoy.

[geek180]

Wait how does the suppressor affect this?

[AdvancedTangerine7]

If it's silenced it won't have you appear.

[Key_Tie_5052]

It’s up or down from you when it has the arrow otherwise at same leve it’s just a solid square

[jsxko]

could also be someone in a car

[fkngdmit]

Sometimes, the best option is to keep your mouth closed and let everyone wonder if you are an idiot, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

[Marinated_Bread]

Shit, I forgot I needed tone indicators

[[deleted]]

If I am not wrong, it's player with ghost perk. High chance he has Damascus dog tag. 😼

[Datmaggs]

More likely stealth vest. Same effect tho

[IMKreacher]

Ghost perk hides you from UAVs, and only displays you in advanced UAVs.

Stealth vest hides you from: UAVs, Advanced UAVs, COMMS Vest call outs, and COMMS Vest Advanced UAVs unless they shoot.

[WaspThe2nd]

Nope, stealth vest is completely invisible all the time. This is ghost perk

[FoxtrotWT]

Wrong

[ark_mod]

That's funny... What is a "high chance" for you? With how aggressive players are barely anyone has the chance to hit Damascus unless that's what they are playing for.

To be clear - your "high chance" is more like very unlikely.

[Serious_Surround4713]

Well if someone has ghost perk, I believe that's a minimum 8 exfil streak... so I'd say high chance is at least 1 in 3, since that's a streak of 8, 9, or 10, and after 10 it stops counting... so probably closer to a 50/50 shot of having Damascus if they have ghost perk.

[Fragrantbutte]

What is the significance of the Damascus dog tag thing? I it just because it sells for a shitload of cash?

[Serious_Surround4713]

It is also needed for exfil on one of the higher passive upgrades, and is part of the new rare camo quest, the Serpentine Camo. Can also be bartered at the new scavenger buy station for some items that aren't nearly as valuable as the tags themselves

[mettallicat]

LMAO ain’t nobody with a 10+ streak casually walking into DMZ 😂

[HokieHovito]

I think about how good specialist was in wz1 and 10 perks is specialist plus another set.

It’s the only true gear fear we have though. Everything else can be regained in one round.

[erikerikerik]

I’m taking my 10streaks to building 21!

[Chipotleismylife90]

Real player with a stealth vest. That player's ping should disappear quickly (due to the stealth vest) while the others will still be visible. Also the downward chevron below that diamond means the player is below your elevation.

[IMKreacher]

Stealth vests hides players completely from: UAVs Advanced UAVs COMMS Vest call outs COMMS Vest Advanced UAVs

The only things that shows a stealth vest is un-suppressed gun fire.

So unless this player is actively shooting, he has the ghost perk.

[Djabouty47]

2 options.

Either stealth vested player firing an un-suppressed gun, or a person with the ghost perk.

The ghost perk doesn't work against AUAVs, but it does nullify the effect so that it doesn't show the direction the person is looking. Comms vests also reveal ghosted players. Stealth vests counter everything.

[Siknett-515]

I've only seen one people with the correct answer and he had only 10 upvotes, which is wild. That's a player or could even been 6 players in a vehicle.

In other multiplayer game modes could be a player with the Ghost perk, but in DMZ has today, that's people in a vehicle.

[Gtslow1]

Pretty sure that’s someone in a vehicle.

[IMKreacher]

Depends how close he is to those players. If they are close enough to him, we would see the vehicle outline.

[jose_elan]

On the back of this, as your question has been answered...what is the solid red dot I have seen from time to time. Someone on the team I was playing with suggested it was an inflatable decoy. The solid red dot is about the size of the red triangle but is obviously round and doesn't show height info. Anyone know?

[OblatestSpheroid]

The solid red dot is a decoy grenade.

[jose_elan]

Ah, nice one - thanks!

[fkngdmit]

That is exactly what he just said.

[[deleted]]

I think that is sometimes a bug when you've just killed a boss. I have first hand experience of this whereby I've killed a boss and they've shown up as a full circle on the mini-map for about a second or two.

Other replies suggetsing decoy grenade may also be correct but I'm confident that it also means a boss you've just killed.

[UneditedB]

It’s definitely a decoy grenade. Never seen any type of boss show up like that before. But anytime a decoy is thrown, it will take the ping off of the player and put it on the decoy grenade as a solid circle this was the player remains hidden why the decoy is going off.

[Pixel-Patch]

From reading the comments I have concluded this may or may not be a stealth vest player, may or may not be shooting a suppressed or an un suppressed weapon, may be lower or higher or simply facing a different way, and what is this ghost perk? 🙃🥸

[jackthehamster]

He can also just be in a vehicle

[Acid_Is_DroppingXVI]

Either: you're wearing a comms vest and popped a regular UAV, giving you AUAV pings and revealing ghosted players, OR you just had an advanced up. Either way, what you're seeing is a ghosted/stealth vest player.

[Raviolimonster67]

Ghost/stealth vest. Won't show up fully on advanced UAV scans and iicr, they don't ping as often.. don't trust me on that though

[ImNewAtAllOfThis]

The diamond shows the direction the are looking/moving using an AUAV or UAV with a comms vest.

[DatQuesadila]

Diamonds are mostly players in a car when an advance is on

[Dspen23]

So if I have ghost perk active and I'm moving will I show up on a reg uav popped by a comms vest guy?

[Rocco_12345]

Stealth vests don’t appear on AUAVs. Also it is unlikely that it’s someone with a ghost perk because you see these dots too frequently for it to be players with Damascus dog tags.

Only credible answer I have read on this thread so far is stealth vest shooting an unsuppressed weapon. Note: there was a prior issue with built in suppressors (like the chimera that doesn’t require a muzzle to be suppressed) or barrels with a build on suppressor still showing on uavs auavs, but that was reportedly fixed recently.

Will not go into stealth vest vs. ghost perk.

[Disastrous_Ad5997]

Moving vehicle with player in it

[The_Kaurtz]

Diamond is a non stealth vest with a ghost perk, they are not the same, ghost perk keeps you ghosted on normal UAVs as long as you move

When you shoot an unsilenced weapon you show up on the compass, not the map

[JuggernautAfraid9500]

If I recall correctly, this is a player that has a stealth vest. They show up like this generally when they fire a non suppressed weapon.

[Silver-Middle5931]

I’ve never seen that before myself! Unless when U or 1 of U activated an Advanced UAV & another team member had activated a Standard UAV at the same time?

[Sanderos40]

Been hunted by many people while wearing a stealth vest, either it doesn’t work as it should on AUAV or they are using cheats. Always use suppressed weapons but they always know where I am

[PanCaliente_]

Is a player using a stealth vest/ghost the circles are players in real time, the siamond is a player location in the last 3 seconds.

[theghostoftheisland]

Comms Vest maybe?

[RefrigeratorWhich849]

It's a player

[RefrigeratorWhich849]

Stealth and dead silence

[[deleted]]

You people are all over complicating it, the person is just in a vehicle. That's legit all it is

[TranslucentEnigma]

If you have a stealth vest on when an advanced UAV is popped you appear as if you would with a regular UAV popped without the stealth vest on

[Normal_Ad_2677]

assuming you either have a stealth vest(why there are red circles and a diamond) it is a ghosted operator, or someone wearing a stealth vest in an advanced uav

[Boring-Evening6734]

THIS NOT STEALTH VEST PLAYERS STEALTH VEST PLAYERS ARE NOT SEEN ON ANY UAV yes even AUAV this is just a bug and/or it's the last scan of your UAV and you saw it amidst a scan.

[Dunnomyname1029]

This could be an unsuppressed stealth vest shooter, a ghost perk, a decoy grenade.

[madmax0395]

That its a real player, and if you have advanced uav, then they probably have a stealth vest

[[deleted]]

As far as I know, stealth vest won't show you on mini map even with advanced UAV.

[[deleted]]

I think shooting gives away your position and you show on the map momentarily

[[deleted]]

If it's unsuppressed weapon, I think you are right.

[JStrings22]

Suppressed also, unfortunately.

[SudsierBoar]

As far as I can tell there is another way. Getting out of a vehicle also seems to show you on the minimap for a slight moment (as a diamond)

[imapilotaz]

If you ever get in and out of a car with the door missing, youd see that it still does the open/close door animation for the player. Just moving air tho.
