So is it smart then to shoot someone's legs/feet or do those body parts take reduced damage?

They take reduced damage, you only want to target them over head or center mass when they're already hurt and have a foot sticking out behind a rock or something

Shotguns seem overpowered. I one-shot and getting one-shotted with the S1897 in the chest with Level 3 Armor and Helmet without a headshot. How many pellets does one shot contain?

If you're close enough to get hit by all the pellets you should go down.

Real-world 00 buck is 8 or 9 pellets, each with roughly the energy of a 9mm handgun bullet.

Its because some of the pellets hit your head. I don't think it will always credit it as a headshot.

Okay so just so I have the sound dynamics right in my head:

If I hear a distant clap, and I hear it in both ears, does that mean the shot is travelling parallel to my current direction and the shot originated perpendicular to me? So I should be turning 90 degrees in either direction to pinpoint where it came from?

I have a bum left ear that makes positional audio harder than it should be, and whenever I hear a shot I always want to face where it centers up in both my ears, it feels disorienting otherwise.

Humans are generally pretty bad at audio localization, needing to rely upon a second report and head re-orientation is pretty much the way we roll (as an anecdote, really most mammals re-orient the soundstage to locate the sound source, but most species can control their ears independently from their heads so it happens faster), your brain should already be compensating for your poor hearing in your left ear.

If there are localization issues in the game engine itself (as I understood there are) that certainly wouldn't help but there isn't much you can do about it, sounds like your method of picking about the direction of the sound source is pretty much the way everyone does it.

Generally a single shot is always hard to pick out, that's why it's always best to kill with your first shot and relocate if you're trying to be a stealthy sniper fella.

To follow up on what the guy above me just said, if I you hear a car but can't tell which direction it is, just turn one direction about 90 degrees and it should be obvious at this point, then let your teammates know.

As far as being shot at goes, I can almost never hear the snap/whizz so I have to rely on the report alone. Not sure why that is, sometimes I can't tell if I'm being shot at until I see the dirt kick up next to me.

Hey guys pro tip here, if you have terrible aim like me just use shotties and frags.



re audio localisation, I have a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other. I just rely on seeing people cause I can't tell poo poo.

Sometimes its the little things that annoy the hell out of me but I know it's hopefully going to get fixed. I heard fast moving footsteps outside the building I was in so I knew there was a guy out there. In the split second that I looked out the window he managed to sprint up the stairs, open the door and shoot me in the back without me hearing a single loving thing. I guess having your back to a door means it makes no noise? :psyduck:

There was a fix for footsteps audio in the last patch, but the patch was rolled back. I believe doors were part of that, too.

I think I remember a streamer (summit or viss?) saying that the reward is based on the rank of the other players you killed/wounded.

Thanks. Does right click in the tab inventory not work reliably, drag is better?

Also is melee at all viable? I've charged dudes with pistols and its never worked, even getting the drop on them.

Don't melee during the early game unless you like garbage BS stuff like this to happen.

Let me tell you about true luxury.

I had the exact same thoughts as DrDisrespectLive. This game could theoretically be good but rewards the biggest pussies and hiders in the match. You can win a match with 0 kills, that's not great design. The only way to play this game is man-mode. If you get less than 5 kills in a round, you lose.

Maybe go play COD? When I spoke to PU he said he loves that you can hide and "let the idiots kill eachother," so I doubt you'll see any change to that. I mean, you still get plenty of points for kills, so it's not that it doesn't reward you. In fact, I bet if you got 4th place with 4 kills, it would be worth more points than 1st with 0 kills.

There are many times where Sacriel, Summit, and others win with 0, 1, 2 or 3 kills only. Many with 0, 1 and 2

Winning strats include "flying really far away so you land alone" and "taking a car to a far away city to loot" and "being on the non-populated side of the circle so you don't have to fight"

If you are going for maximum ranking like those streamers you mentioned, you can't use any risky strategies, especially strategies that are risky at the beginning of the game. An early death costs a lot of points on the scoreboard. Watch ninja if you want to see someone that gets a lot of kills.

Just I stalled this game, I'm having troubles crashing as soon as I get into the pergatory/jump around waiting for game to start area. I've searched Reddit and steam forums and can't find any solution.

Specs are windows 10
GTX 1070 oc'd to 2.1ghz
16gb DDR 3000
I5 7600k oc'd to 4.8ghz

I got it to work without crashing once after a reboot, but that only worked once

Every time it crashes it sends an error report

Eh, it's not so bad once you learn to recognize areas where corner peeking is possible. It actually works as a counter in some cases to the natural advantage of high ground. First person only will be cool as gently caress, though.

It is, it's part of why the game is so good. You can run and gun, you can mil-sim tactisperg, you can hide in your underwear in a bush. All pretty valid strats at getting to/near the top.

Jesus they were not joking about the sound changes. Finally hearing the bullet cracks and they cranked up the volume on footsteps. Even crouching and going slow makes a lot of noise.

Does anyone know if the sound of switching weapons/reloading or changing firing rate can be heard by others?
