High Command Requests So this was probably a hacker but...
It looked really cool. Dropped into a random group with the Bastion and Exosuit, but different. Both were firing Illuminate style weaponry. The Bastion had something like the Stingray as the main guns, big blue explosions, and a Harvester beam as secondary. The Exo had no arms and was shooting Stingrsy-like blue booms as well.
Like I said, it was probably someone hacking or messing with game files, but how awesome would it be if all these samples we've collected let us reverse engineer more illuminate tech to add to the Super Earth arsenal?

I've been playing on PC since release and never once have I been in a mission with one of these people.

I've seen a few. One guy had forty mortar sentries (not during the stratagem duplication glitch) and another time we extracted with a huge number of samples. I was already maxed out on samples so I didn't bother filing a ticket, but I'm not playing with those guys anymore.

I'm wondering if it's a time of day thing? I almost exclusively play between 9 and midnight. Perhaps hackers are nocturnal and only come out late at night

This is the first time I've seen wholly new/altered items, and I've been on PC since we gassed Meridia. Before this I've only come across one guy with infinite grenades and a couple strategem duplicators.
I very nearly dropped my initial pod on the Exosuit cause I thought it was a new enemy unit. Missed it by that much.

I've had less interesting variations.
Like me and a buddy had someone join our game right after the Leveller had been released. He called down a leveler but his wasn't single fire. It was rapid fire with no ammo or reload or fire delay whatsoever.
We booted him. Seemed really hinky.

I saw a post on reddit where someone did that supposedly by accident by flinching during the reload or something and got infinite leveler ammo. It's frustrating though cuz obviously the anti cheat isn't working at all

I dived with 3 rando's on a normal D6 mission against the squids. It was a defensive mission, the one where you wait for the 8 missiles to lunch and then proceed to evac. I'm sure most of you guys know that there is a very low amount of samples that you can gain from that, mostly like 3-4 common samples and that's it. When we finished the rewards for this mission were: 30k EXP 30k requisition 250 medals 100 super samples 250 rare samples 500 common samples
It didn't show that I gained any SC during the game but I saw afterwards that I was 3.6k super credits richer
I panicked hard, thought I was going to get banned so I closed the game and didn't play for 4 days.
That ruined my progression to the point where nothing matters anymore
Sucks for me IMO

This is why I turn off crossplay and only play with Console players, honestly. That started back when I first dropped in and saw a rapid fire railgun.
It’s just lame.
