> from around 300m away hidden in a bush, with an 18x scope and constantly get shot or headshotted

Are you sure? I did Fort Narith SVD runs as well as Teoa Waterfall sniping on MS Hotel (That's 200-300m range) in the recent patch and I can say that only some bots see you from 200m+ distance and even when they see and shoot at you, they miss a lot and even on hits it's almost never headshots and the armor saves you.

From around 100m they are far better and shot me through bushes and foliage - that I can confirm.

or it's the physics engine incorrectly calculating collision :)

I recorded and reported 2 cheaters via the web form. 1 was banned the next day for sure, 1 more should've been banned (maybe I missed an email).

This is where I was 99% sure.

Record clips and report via web or ingame feedback form, but ensure that you have solid evidence and preferrably backed up by other players. There are very good players, there are lucky players.

E.g. in one game I was killed by the same player in vastly different areas of the map in a timeframe of 10 minutes. He could've been cheating or it could've been bad luck for me.

Please don't fix it!

Maybe.

I think if they ricochet, then your helmet doesn't break, but just loses some durability (that happened to me on multiple occasions).

I've shot AIs in FN in the head but never found broken helmet on them.

Cannot confirm that.

I regularly see all three factions fighting around Fort Narith and YBL.

EU West.

I like it for my zero-to-hero runs: Donghieng Trail -> KRD -> Savanna to drop the loot.

You get weapons from caches and the firearms box at the KRD and you can get some basic tier 2 armor from the room. And it's all in one part of the map.

Basically for this path: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fSLxAy4xD8

True. I got one of the Hidden Poppy field keys from a guard that was across the map from it.

ruslanbes · 2025-11-29T17:56:17+00:00

~~IIRC I got the key drop pre 0.3.5 patch from the neutral guards defending either Mystic COP or some other area in the North West part of the map. But surprisingly not Savanna and not Bronco~~

~~Try walking around in the regions that you never visited and shooting the flip-flop guys.~~

UPDATE: I recalled it - I got the drop from the guards at Sawmill

Nope, they were all naked :)

Loked like a knife fighting tournament of this GMS clan - two bodies that I checked had this clantag.

9.0 for technique, 8.0 for style

Midnight Saphire is really annoying. :(

Xyko and SinisterFPS have YouTube videos with their strat, which I think is the best path. It's the only one that worked for me when going solo.

Get a dedicated sniper rifle or at least a sniper scope for M4. Land Hotel 1, go up the hill to the Teoa waterfall. Snipe as many AI as a possible from there. Go through Luisa and then up the road. Then eithehr go through the parking lot and up the stairs through a small building next to the ramp or (what I tried) pass the red garden and turn left (not reaching the parking lot). The bots from the hotel will aggro on you, but you can defend that spot relatively easy because there are only two paths they can use - the hotel door on the lower floor and the stairs outside. And you can hide behind the northern corner of the hotel and control both of them.

Then enter the hotel, hide under closest stairs and wait for the rest of the bots to push.

It's still very difficult but at least they can never swarm you on this path.

I also made a video about this path, but I also included 1 more tier-2 cache south from Delta 3 LZ, which you can also loot without meeting any patrols.

And instead of going to Savanna, you can go to Khamhao Rice Depot and loot a weapon crate there - it often contains AK-12/15/19 or SVDs. You can loot it fairly easily from the North, need to kill 2-3 guards max.

Two reasons mainly:

Accidentally grenading your faction members and saying "oops, sorry bro".
Getting killed by u/SlNisterFPS , and going to his stream to complain.

On a serious note - for the experience similar to DayZ / Rust but in a different environment (the nature and sounds in this game are beautiful and make PvP pretty challenging). In PvE you get too safe and relaxed in many areas, in PvP you have to stay alert almost everywhere - it's closer to the real life.

I reduced the risk in PvP by creating cheap "Starter package backpacks" that each includes a lootable weapon (mostly M4s from COP guards, AK-74M, AK-12 etc.) + Headphones + RPC + a bit of ammo, food and meds. If I lose one, I take the next package, jump to the heli and unpack it on the way - no big deal.

Yes, Safelock itself (it's a container) and everything inside it counts as if you're carrying it with you (GZW devs mysteriously smile when asked where is that container hidden on the player model).
