If what you are saying is true, wouldn't I only expect to see and hear this only if he was shooting me?

Keep in mind that this was happening all game. i would post more video, but I wasn't recording sound, and this was the only time I faced off on him when I was recording.

The sound was unmistakably unusual, usually in groups of four (thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk,) really fast. When I first heard it my first thought was "there is no way that is one mass driver", but it was consistent in it's rhythm, and from a consistent sound source. So I thought either there were two players with MDs standing in very close proximity, and harmoniously firing together, or this is a glitch. I started recording and looking for him after I got killed by him the first time. I spent the rest of the game looking for him to cap that video.

This is possible. Never seen lag that cause a mass driver to appear to fire multiple shots a second. Again, I wish you could hear it

Is there a method to detecting lag switches or any type of mediation for them?

I had never heard of them before this thread. After reading up on them they are absolutely game-breaking.

Same exploit as melee glitch..

It has to be some lag because MD's can't fire past 1 shot per second (except Assault, but that wasn't the assault)

IgniteableAura and I encountered one of these hacks last week.
Same corp, if I recall. It isn't your imagination, OP.

We heard him before we saw him ... it was so stinkin' obvious.
Thump-Thump-Thump ... Boom-Boom-Boom
Roughly 1/4 second lapse between shots.

They've found a way to bypass fire-rate cap on the MD.
It's quite an entertaining obscenity to observe firsthand.
Thankfully, it isn't commonly exploited. Yet.

you do know this one in question isn't a hack, it is the normal ROF.

You're saying the video I posted was normal RoF? No way.

Has anyone tried something like a combination of melee/sprint reset to the fire rate? Kind of like the melee glitch?

Could you maybe... fire-sprint-fire-sprint or fire-melee-fire-melee or fire-sprint-melee-fire-sprint-melee-fire?

This is exactly what we tried. Fire sprint, fire sprint, fire sprint. You can do it on a ds3 controller, but not easily. kbm and macro-controller are the ways to benefit from this exploit.

So that is what does it?

Jep, I posted here that I was able to reproduce it, neglected to say how. My bad.

Am I crazy, or do these first three shots look like they come out in under a second?

You sure reacted slowly, then fired hit him, stopped firing for no reason, moved to the right and stopped ....i am not getting your part in the movie.

I was trying to ensure that I got good video. I wish I would've fired at all so the third shot would've never been in question.

Remember I started recording and spent the game chasing after this dude to get good footage of it in case no one believed me.

If I had been recording sound, I would've post more video to show multiple audio examples. This clip was perfect because he was alone, so no chance of another MD user nearby firing at me.

Got it, missed that part i guess, i hate MD's though!

Jak, if you can reproduce it, let's cap some video tonight.

You can repro by doing the shotgun glitch...

i.e. shoot, reload, sprint, repeat. (I usually just mash all buttons at once, not sure what the exact combo is)

As fast as you can press the buttons you can fire, but as far as I know, it doesn't actually fire live rounds if you don't complete the firing animation for the mass driver.
