    Greetings Agents!

    Has anybody else come across obvious hackers ON PS4 in the dark zone??? Last night I was in the DZ with a group of 4 when we came across some rogues that were on manhunt. Another 4 man team showed up and 8 of us proceeded to go up the ladder to a very small area where this manhunt team was. We were all pretty much melted instantly. We keep going back out after them and they would come down after their manhunt expired, go rogue again and head back up the ladder to hide. We all died every time almost instantly which I'm fine with if it is a fair fight. I lost funds, lost rank, blah blah blah but what happened next has me baffled.
    The team on manhunt comes back down off the roof and starts going after everybody again. I backed out down the street a bit to put some distance between us and ducked behind a car. As the one guy spots me shooting from a distance with my lightweight M4, he starts to run towards me. I blast two clips into him as he approaches and he finally goes down. I run up to rifle butt him and finish him off as he is crawling around and he has the same speed crawling around dying as he does while running! I finally give up chasing him and just empty my clip into him to finish him off!
    I know PC can be hacked but I am on PS4. It bothered me so much I started looking into it and researching it. Everything I came across for consoles says it has not been done and would require basically a jailbreak PS4 running custom interface operating system and would be very expensive to pull off.
    I am curious if anybody else has had any run ins like this on console....

    Yes consoles can be hacked. Not sure this is the case here. It could just be a glitch that no one else has came across yet. Many players constantly looking for glitches to give them an edge. Best you can do is support and have them check it out.

    Similar thing has happened to me on ps4...Ive downed a player and they can travel on their knee 3 times faster then i can sprinting. Also have downed a player who has then managed to slide across on their knee to a ladder and proceed to climb up it back to the team!!

    Only recently I have been noticing some parts of the map in the DZ dont seem to load in quick enough which forces you to stop sprinting and start slow walking/jogging
