According to a Bluehole dev on both twitter and reddit, they are planning to release at minimum one new gun per month going forward, so hopefully we'll see less of everyone and their grandmother running around with an M16 over time.

seriously, the level of being able to see out of a smoke compared to in is so extremely disparate in this game, it's a real shock seeing it compared to csgo

How large is the spread on shotguns with and without choke. I don't really depend on them outside of buildings unless I have to but it would be nice to pick off some guy running away from assault rifle fire once in a while.

Yes, because of the incredibly erratic speeds the lag made him move at. He moved out of my cross hairs the first two times at speeds that he shouldn't be capable of, and then the next two I missed, I tried to compensate for it and anticipate where he would be, but it didn't go so well.

With a choke, it's pretty drat good. In fact, I use them when I move up on people in tree cover, because aiming down sight with a rifle would be a death sentence when you're in the open like that, but you can quickly shoulder and fire the shotgun and get a few hits. The only down side is, running with the shotgun is the slowest of all weapon types.

You can still kill people pretty consistently at, I'd say about 50m. A choke doubles to triples that. I've nailed people at mid/rifle range no problem with the choke.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but since rifles and other weapons don't have damage drop off over distance or velocity drop off either, I'm guessing shotgun pellets are subject to those same rules. Which means they are stronger in this game than just about any other.

As someone who has taken a shot of buckshot to the face from a ricochet irl, you could drop someone I am sure at 100m/300'.

So the most enjoyable thing could be loving with players dug into houses. You either hear their footsteps or hear them running around looting a house. Start running around the house breaking random windows and opening and closing exterior doors. They always seem to hide upstairs waiting. It's even better if you can get in and lob a smoke grenade to the stop of the steps.

I usually get killed anyways cause I am bad at videogames but it's really enjoyable playing the shining with their mind until they kill me.

In squads I like to strike up a conversation with the defenders while my buddies sneak in the other side of the building and murder everyone.

Shotguns in games having an effective range of about arm's length is my pet peeve. The only complaint I had about the 2016 Doom was the effective range of the shotguns.

I've only had the chance to play one game and the lag was so bad I didn't last long. I found an 8x right off the bat in some random little garage next to the ruins though, and there seemed to be more ammo with the weapons.

One thing I've noticed is that the distance meter for the safe and closing zone doesn't seem to work anymore. Also, I've had to chase that damned circle every goddamned game. Except the one where I landed at the school. That was a mistake.

Some minor bugfixes, and the loot spawning system was changed back to how it used to be (so stuff should be more plentiful now).

Something else I just saw too. Apparently Battlegrounds uses some models from this dude's UE4 Weapons Pack:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwmBam_JHzU

It might offer up some clues as to the upcoming weapons they're planning on releasing. If they're planning on releasing one a month I assume they'll just be using these existing models that they already have.

E: Oh hey, here's a list of weapons included in the pack that aren't in game yet:

Sako 85
Ruger MK3
Stealth Hunter
PX4
Sig Sauer P250
P90
MP5
M1014
Flaregun
Fabarm Martial
Glock 22

I wish I had shadowplay running. I'm decked out with great gear, about 20 people left and I'm on a bike escaping the blue zone. A dacia comes out of nowhere and starts chasing me. I hit a pebble and my bike flips and tosses me off. The dacia driver is coming at me full speed and he switches to the passenger seat. The dacia DRIFTS on its side and he two shots me with the s686 before I can even react.

I wasn't even mad.
