Got my first grenade kill tonight. Had an mp5 vs a guy fully loaded with weapons. He was hiding in a one story house. I didn't want to engage head on and decided to throw a grenade and hopefully flush him out if not injure or kill him. Got a lucky bounce off a wall through the door and killed him. Really satisfying to get a grenade kill in this game.

In short, grenades are super useful but half the time things get so frantic that I forget to use them.

Got down to me and the last guy. He had hidden behind a beached boat since the final 10 or so and stayed there refusing to move at all. I took a few minutes to prone shimmy around the edge of the final zone to get a spot almost on top of him from the riverbank. I creep over the bank, see him, and panic; not noticing at all that he still thinks i'm on the other side and is oblivious to me being behind him. I forgot to take my gun off of burst so my frantic clicking sends my gun up in the air with recoil and he whips around and two shots me.

:negative:

Patch notes for tomorrow:

quote:

The main servers will be updated with the new patch tomorrow, Tuesday May 16th, at 5 PM KST/1 AM PDT/8 AM UTC


Early Access - Week 8 Patch Notes


Client Performances Improvements
Slightly improved the drop in FPS when driving vehicles

Anti Cheat
In order to prevent using "lag switch" to cheat, the characters will now be locked and will not be able to move, rotate and attack others when the ping exceeds a certain value
You will no longer be able to remove the environment foliage by revising the .ini file


Custom Games
Fixed the issue that was causing the sound to break when there are too many vehicles in a small area

Bug Fixes
Partially fixed a bug that caused the character to get stuck in different objects in the environment
Partially fixed a bug that caused the game client to freeze
Fixed a bug that caused the crosshair to still be visible while in no-UI mode
Temporarily removed the flash bang from the game as it was causing game clients to freeze/crash

That exact thing happened to me earlier and I fired 4 shots into him. In the meantime he turned and headshot killed me to win the surprise bush war. I'll see if I still have the clip when I get home.

I wonder what that ping threshold will be. I get quite laggy at times with my super slow internet connection. Wish I could see my latency in game to know what I average.

I wonder if it will just freeze player inputs or if people will bug out in vehicles when they go over the threshold.

Is it possible to get 1 shot with lvl 2 body armor and lvl 2 helmet? I was hiding in a bunker house in the final 10 and someone entered my house, I creeped out the washroom and he turned around to shoot me dead in a single hit. Shotgun perhaps? I wish I caught what it was but it seemed kinda unfair. Good match tho with my friend.

Shotguns can do that but also any sniper rifle (except the SKS) to the head will do that.

I feel like I get 1 shot in all the time by SCAR-Ls even when wearing lvl2 gear. I ran into a person in a house and I dumped at least 5 rounds of an UZI into him (saw the blood splatter) within 2 feet of him then I died by "A headshot from a SCAR-L" while dancing around. I have to assume it's a desync issue; Where only my client saw my rounds hit him and he only shooting me once, but maybe server side he killed me with a burst before I got any rounds off.

I notice this game does get de sync like crazy when players are near each other in houses.

especially shotguns with a choke, i one shot a dude trying to leave the second floor of a guard shack with a distance of maybe 25 to 30m, his level 2 vest was shredded. i was using the s1897

it's possible he had damage already tho but he was full of FAK, painkillers and e drinks so ? ? ?

I'd imagine properly aiming a single 3 round burst from the M16 will do it too, and it would probably look like a single shot on your screen.

The SCAR won't one shot you but you won't hear all the shots enemies do when they go full auto so he might have hit you with 3-5 rounds while you only heard one bang. Also the desync could make it look funky of course.

That was me yesterday shooting someone on a bridge and just not killing em, haha.

Despite the one-shot yesterday this game is still so goddamn good. Always a unique experience.

One match I thought I was alone running through a field since I dropped on the opposite side of the island from where the plane came in. Came up to a shack and bam, dead - someone else just decided to hide in there for god knows how long. :lol:

if yall ever get the chance to, as a squad, find multiple cars while the zone is closing in on the military island to the south, you should blockade the bridge with your cars

its a good way to get kills and catch people off guard, also its fun, and also also it leads to real funny voicechat

I've had a dude lag out/disconnect so he ended up running in a straight line and couldn't be killed. Seems to be what is happening here. That phenomenon is not really new in games though but one could argue that it's important that they are dropped instantly in a game such as pubg.

Any time the plane starts over the south flying northbound my friend and I always do this. Let the military base early birds bring the worms to you!

We jump out on the north side of the bridge and loot the coastal farm + 2 side houses that is just west of the northern bridge. Then we run to the bridge, securing a car for blockade if we can, otherwise simply going prone behind the oil barrels next to the military transport vehicle.

Always shoot out the tires first rather than the driver. Way easier to hit and it causes their car to crash or stall out in the middle of the bridge with no nearby cover. If they use the car as cover, just keep shooting it until it blows up taking them with it.

If we get a car, sometimes we like to take that down and hide it behind the military transport vehicle so that it isn't visible from people driving from the south of the bridge. You then have someone drive the car out at the last second to crash into them as they are speeding across. Your friend then throws a grenade at their car as they are busy trying to get out and get oriented.

Yeah I've never seen a game handle disconnected players like PUBG and it's really bizarre.

I think they use the lobby to prerender character models, and logging back in clears the cache of the models. I imagine that is one of the many problems they face for rejoining a game in progress.

had a game where I got lucky and picked up a crate with an AWM/scope in it, then got to the point where the southern island was cut off and like five people had to try to boat/swim to the main island while I sat on the beach with said AWM. Feels good man.

That's what I figured. Like they server is giving the player the benefit of the doubt to see if it was just a small outage in your connection (seems to be the way some MMO's do it).
I don't see how they could add a rejoining feature in a game mode like this though. I don't see an elegant way of doing it without it possibly being a bit exploitable.

If the player model remains static in the game world and can be killed by other players (and by the blue line) there would be no exploitable advantage.

a flashbang crashed me also, dunno how to fix it though. They really, really need to fix the crashing. Doing so twice in a row, right after restarting the game in an effort to keep it from crashing, made me quit playing out of frustration earlier today.

gently caress. Ended up 3rd in solo game. I should have used different cover or tried to stay longer in blue to see if someone moves. It gets really tense in the end.. goddamnit!

I killed only four guys I think. One who dropped on the same hospital floor but I got the shotgun. 2nd inside, 3rd was running before me and I followed him with silenced UMP to get the kill. 4th one was nearly in the end, had to shoot to head twice thanks to his lvl3 helmet. 5th guy got me instead because he saw me first.. I wish cars had a free mode so I could use uaz as rolling cover.

When it's down to the final circle(s), never "wait it out" in the blue field/gas, because the health loss ticks get gradually larger.

Sounds like you need to get better.

Update to pacifist run: success! 0 hits, 0 kills, 1 chicken dinner. People were too afraid to shoot the guy running around throwing smoke grenades everywhere in the middle of the field and give up their position.
