I've been playing with a couple of buddies who never wear shoes in-game, and while it's nice to be able to tell that it's them moving, it sounds like someone is slapping a pair of wet hams together. Bad!

had a couple of cool moments with the crossbow but I won't be picking it up again. I had my back to the blue on a hill, saw someone, put a bolt in them, and they didn't react. I was about 15 feet away and they had no fucknig clue where I was. ducked back behind my tree to reload, popped out, shot him again, and his friend came up the hill and shot me. the dude I shot twice was still alive but easily finished off with my AR. fuckin dumb that you can hit someone with two bolts and they will live but five shots to the knee with a Vector will kill them instantly.

In another solo game I found the crossbow in the sunken city and made that city my loving castle--I got a couple of really cool completely stealth kills with it after stalking people through the city. still died to the blue eventually but that was a really cool experience.

The only other circumstance I can imagine using it is in a squad game where a couple of you have it. if you can be completely stealthy and line someone up with 3 bolts at once they'll go down immediately. but hten you're destroying either your long or clsoe range firepower. needs a buff IMO

This last patch made the scar significantly more stable and the m416 isn't the god tier that it once was

The m16 is imo the best because the burst is incredibly stable and with a 4x or 8x you can do the Will of God from almost any range

Pimped scar with 686 or pimped uzi/UMP is the primo kit, you have your long range and you have your short range. Last night in squads I singlehandedly wiped out a four man squad with an ump from behind a tree while they kept peeking out of a house at my unarmed squad and it was glorious

I really don't understand why anyone would want to afk for points. All the points do is help play pretty pony princess dress up, and the highest tier stuff is all edgelord poo poo like the gas masks and black trenchcoats. I'm having more fun running around in my default gear as Mike the Murderous Accountant than cosplaying a Fallout character.

Teaming is kind of in the spirit of Battle Royale atleast from the movie perspective, but I guess it would be lame if people are intentionally trying to get in the same game instead of organically deciding to team up in the moment.

Just IMO.

IT'S ALL TURNED TO SHIT!
The entire tone of the game would need to be built around uneasy alliances for mid-match teaming to be acceptable to players. Or at the very least not having team queues.

I've really fucked it. Have I fucked it?
Just got my first chicken dinner (in any mode) playing duos with a good buddy. We had a terrible start, holed up in Rozhok with a shotgun and an AR while WWIII was going on outside. By the time we headed West for the next circle, we had ARs, but under 20 rounds each. We got lucky coming across dead players though, and ended up with ACOGs and 5 kills each at the final circle which was centred on a small compound just East of Geogorpol. We were out in the open, but the guys in the compound had to leave it because of the circle. Still buzzing from the rush. :)

The number of people who will kill someone with a massive burst of gunfire and then immediately run for the box in the middle of an open area is staggering, especially after a couple ring restrictions. Whatever is in that box isn't worth dying for.

It's really situational. For the most part I think that going barefoot you have a small advantage with the meat slapping sound, but there are a few ground audio spots that are a little bit louder. I don't remember them off the top of my head though.

Spawns are hosed up right now, so if all of those games were after the most recent patch, it's not that surprising.

The AWM and M24 are only available in those random air crates that drop. The DMR is a weapon type afaik the SKS is the only one in that category atm.

We had two groups of three that coordinated, hitting the Start button at the same time. We met up at the start to make sure we got in the same game, then sealed off Discord channels and vowed to murder the other team no matter what.

My team died super early after getting a load of good stuff. Motorcycle flipping is no joke.

I do wish duo and squad games gave more points. Getting a pittance of one hundred points for third place in a squad game, while getting 4-500 or whatever for solo just feels like a waste. You already have to split up loot and can easily get insta gibbed by a full group that sees one of you

I had a similar problem with lighting inside, especially in the halls of the school. I always feel like the shadows are moving because someone's about to turn a corner or something.

That vid is hosed up and throwing nades into small windows is really clunky at best, but i've gotten many many kills with nades and in my opinion they Are Good. flashes seem pretty useless but transitioning into looting and remembering to use frags for assaulting small rooms/downed players and smokes for pushes and rezzing in the final circles is super useful.

I think my ideal setup with non-carepackage gear is:
Tricked out M4 with 2x
SKS with 8x and compensator
1-2 frags
2-3 smokes

the idea is that my main gun can go full auto for pushes in a pinch, i really can't use the burst m16 for poo poo, i find the vertical recoil on burst fire absolutely awful and almost always end up whiffing
