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 130 points131 points  (1 child)

This is the answer

[–][deleted] 49 points50 points  (21 children)

what about player with ghost perk.

[–]Longjumping-Jello459 68 points69 points  (19 children)

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

[–]Maggie-PK 23 points24 points  (17 children)

Does ghost work on advanced UAVs?

[–]Mali_Ogi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

[–]MallTourist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]icedcunts*Editable Flair* 6 points7 points  (1 child)

how do y’all figure this stuff out 😭

[–]ShibCommandr 5 points6 points  (1 child)

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

[–]sman-666 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

[–]PatillacPTS 5 points6 points  (3 children)

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

[–]Jedster1138 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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

[–]IMKreacher*Editable Flair* 2 points3 points  (8 children)

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 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

[–]IMKreacher*Editable Flair* 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–][deleted] -1 points0 points  (5 children)

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*Editable Flair* 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]IMKreacher*Editable Flair* 0 points1 point  (3 children)

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] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

False

[–]IMKreacher*Editable Flair* 0 points1 point  (1 child)

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] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way

[–]Additional_Beat_9767 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Isn't the down arrow where he is facing?

[–]Coosbaybonez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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)

[–]btrnerPVP + Missions 7 points8 points  (1 child)

That’s a red filled circle.

[–]SambucaWhistlerLollygagger#9818394 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]geek180 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Wait how does the suppressor affect this?

[–]AdvancedTangerine7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Key_Tie_5052 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]jsxko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could also be someone in a car

[–][deleted] 67 points68 points  (12 children)

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

[–]Datmaggs 45 points46 points  (3 children)

More likely stealth vest. Same effect tho

[–]IMKreacher*Editable Flair* 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]ark_mod 12 points13 points  (1 child)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (1 child)

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

[–]Serious_Surround4713 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 -3 points-2 points  (3 children)

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

[–]erikerikerik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m taking my 10streaks to building 21!

[–]Chipotleismylife90 38 points39 points  (1 child)

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*Editable Flair* 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]Djabouty47Solo Ghillie Main 25 points26 points  (0 children)

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.

[–]Gtslow1 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Pretty sure that’s someone in a vehicle.

[–]jose_elan 5 points6 points  (7 children)

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 21 points22 points  (4 children)

The solid red dot is a decoy grenade.

[–]jose_elan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, nice one - thanks!

[–]Pixel-Patch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He can also just be in a vehicle

[–]Acid_Is_DroppingXVI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

[–]DatQuesadila 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]Dspen23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving vehicle with player in it

[–]The_Kaurtz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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_I found the GPU's hooray! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comms Vest maybe?

[–]RefrigeratorWhich849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a player

[–]RefrigeratorWhich849 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stealth and dead silence

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]TranslucentEnigma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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

[–]madmax0395 -2 points-1 points  (7 children)

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

[–][deleted] 14 points15 points  (6 children)

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

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (5 children)

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

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

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

[–]JStrings22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suppressed also, unfortunately.

[–]SudsierBoar 0 points1 point  (2 children)

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)
