    PS4 seems to have actual hackers.

    Now I don't usually post shenanigans I see because I know this game has exploits but last night something was off.
    These 4 guys went rogue on my group and it was hard to fight them since they seemed to alternate their Survival Link but when we went looking for them they were not in radar and not appearing on the map. They were Manhunt. We were at a loss. I thought maybe there was a transition? That was until we were flash banged from our six. There was no way that we wouldn't have noticed them with radar, map, and watching our backs. And now there was 5 of them. And it seemed like every time we came back they popped Survival Link.

    This was frustrating mystery. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I've experienced this before. To me sometimes it seems like whenever you get close to the rogues they disappear off, radar and you don't see a skull above their head. This could of course be the scan, the scan will hide them from the radar. Although at times yes it seems like strange things will happen on the occasion, who knows really.

    Can the scan hide their Manhunt status from the map?

    I believe it can, I remember seeing a group of rogues hiding out, I could see them on the radar and see their skulls on them. Suddenly they disappear from the radar and the skulls go away (I was seeing the skulls through a wall) after awhile it all came back, so who knows really. As far as I know hacking on either console is currently not possible, but I am not big on the tech world so I could be wrong, I am just going by what I have read around on the web from many different sources.

    Exactly. I've always thought the Manhunt is a server side instance-wide event and the targets can no longer hide under the radar.

    I had one with a 70ish timer coming up a zipline.. i thought.. sweet.. so i positioned and fired as soon as he got to the top..
    I went rogue. his timer had gone.. i put it down to lag funk..

    The other day i checked everywhere just before hitting the extract rope... boom.. stickied by what i can only describe as an invisible ninja, now visible.. i checked, twice even..
    Then on the weekend i had a guy shooting me.. I shot back.. bam.. Rogue.

    I have no idea what's going on.. but i suspect trickery on all 3 accounts.. i've faced plenty of rogues but these three things made me stop and wonder "wtf was that"

    All on PS4.. all Oceanic/Asia..

    It isnt just you. Everything was a little off last night.

    We had man hunts not showing on xbox live too.

    Lag was bad as well. Xbox live was having issues, not sure if that caused any related issues.

    Today my dz wasn't showing red and I couldn't move the marker past the park .

    Everything seemed back to normal later today.

    I doubt it was hacking . Likely just another glitch.

    If you run the conceal perk on your pulse than yes, it can hide you when you are rogue, even if you are on manhunt. I have used it many a time to save my @ss.

    i had some manhunts dissapearing from the map sme weeks ago.. and yesterday i had plenty of occasions where enemies spawned when they started shooting at me..
    the radar showed them but they only started to be visible when then opened fire.. had this on three supply drops (which all sucked with purples only UBISOFT!)

    But then the Manhunt event isn't a mere 'pulse' from any of the nearby players is it? It's the server highlighting the high priority target(s) for the players in the entire instance to see. If a conceal pulse can actually hide the location just like that, then there is something quite wrong about the whole design.
