So I figured out the hard way that if you obtain hacked gear from a hacker... idk if you must wear it and keep it inventory, but when the server resets your character gets wiped. So if you find another hacker don't grab anything off him/her. I just played for 3 hours and was fully geared and found some ammo for my Longhorn on a dead dude... noticed he had a Mosin with full mods so I took the ammo from the gun. Same with after we looted that dude with a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of grenades and vests... so don't touch that ♥♥♥♥!
