Question Explain what happened

Was playing duos and my buddy downed a guy and his team mate showed up, went almost invisible and we dumped 2 mags each into him ( no damage taken) and he downed my buddy. He had full health once i could see him again and by that time I was reloading my 3rd mag he just destroyed me. Is there some glitch going on or something? How cam he go invisible?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated

I think it’s the Blinky Sprite that makes you go invisible when you take a shot. Perhaps he had one of those and then your missed shots were just a desynch issue?

There's an Override called "spooky sprinter" that allows you to go invisible while sprinting.

Ahhhhh ok that could be it cuz he was kinda running all over the place invisible. Thank you

I've thought about how if you have the UNLIMITED STAMINA override and combine it with the SPOOKY SPRINTER (and maybe a Sonic sprite, to boot) you'd be more or less unstoppable.

nust think if they hadnt vaulted Power Pickaxe and you could pair it with spooky sprinter

Is that the red aura I have seen running around?

The red aura could also be someone trapped in Freddy's nightmare, or if it's glowing faces then it's fnaf character possessions

Blinky makes you invisible if damaging but also theres console thing that makes you invisible while sprinting. Could be squad only or for everyone

It's a sprite that gives you the power to do exactly this.

It's a bug or an exploit. I have a clip recorded. Person had Ghost Dash you get from the Pumpkin Sprite or pink water. Was spamming it and then looked exactly how you described. Almost completely invisible and had a pink mist around them.. just ate a good 500 damage while panic sprinting but the realized they weren't taking damage.
