Concidering the stories about Stella, should I pass?
Is he using Stella as a selling point to justify charging more than he otherwise would? If so, I’d pass.

Is he selling it for a cheap price? If so, even with the pasted firmware, I’d consider buying it and flashing different firmware.

So now that cod has added some sort of dma barrier what fw would be safe? I know alot of ppl got hit on the free fw already and they are just getting started.

Any basic firmware will work and will likely continue to work for quite a while. The free firmware “wave” honestly didn’t do much, and a lot of people are still using it. That said, I personally wouldn’t use free firmware anymore.

I see what you mean i got a good fw i'd say been with it for about 1.5yrs but i mainly play cod. I know eventually they will stepup a notch and focus more on fw. If i wanted to buy something mid nothing crazy like shocks what would you recommend?
