the Kar 98 doesn't even use 7.62 but I suppose they did that for simplicity
I interpreted it as: since we're in some old communist bloc island, these were part of the soviet's WWII capture stock that were re-chambered from 8mm to 7.62x54 so they could be re-used for training and supplying arms for their backwoods low stakes military bases.

Well, that and game balance...

I got this, my girlfriend (who plays 7 Days to Die with me so is somewhat familiar with the setting) and was watching and then bought it herself. We duo'd and had a fun encounter, she's in a building looting the second story and stops, says "I hear people, they're around here", so I run over from a few houses away and see two guys guns out casing the joint. I think "Hey, I never remember to use stun grenades, I'll use one now", and apparently one of the guys has the same thought, but he must have heard me coming because he spun, saw me, and chucked his grenade right as I threw mine, and both went off stunning all three of us. She then came down guns blazing, teamkilled me while I was stunned and downed the two other dudes, then got sniped. Overall, we both got 0 kills. GOTY.

Put this in the op, beautiful

Don't run and shoot if you don't have too, accuracy goes out the window. If you stopped moving and third person aimed to shoot, you could have killed him at 0:05, 0:13 or 0:18.

People were also saying earlier that there's something wrong with pistol ironsights, so that probably didn't help.

I had a similar start today playing duos, chased a weaponless guy all the way across the west military base bridge with my shotgun chipping away at him coz he had a 100m head start on me. Across the bridge his partner is coming to help, mine is behind me coming to help, i down him, his partner comes with a dacia and ak to get revenge, basically had a 5 minute back and forth shoot out/chase before a great mexican standoff on the bridge, with such little ammo that everyone was hosed but having a great time.

Going aggressive at the beginning is really fun if short lived.

Bush did 911
Fun Shoe
Last night I ran up on a guy with full lvl 2 gear, a tricked out AKM and double barrel, and bush whacked him with nothing but a 1911 to my name. Dude was so worried about snipers in the buildings 100 or so meters away he never even noticed me until I was mag dumping into the back of his head from 10 feet. So, uh, look around every now again people.

He almost pulled off something slick trying to drive me into the river. :v:

And yeah I probably should have killed him early but I did manage to get two shots in (the final bullet in the car was a hit) so I knew he was hurt. I didn't expect him to kill himself against a tree but man was that a blast.

My guess is the dude got shot while running towards the tree and just tunnel visioned into finding where it came from.


Or he saw a dude with nothing on and figured shooting the guys that were shooting at him first was the better option.

Or, the guy saw him, saw he wasn't armed *at all*, and decided to focus on the enemies that *were* armed. Also, him being there was a nice temptation - if the other people had seen him and gone for the free kill, they'd have given up their positions or given the guy who died that extra second or two that might've made the difference. The guy just got lucky that his guy got killed so he could loot him.

You're very rarely going to ignore a guy just because it "looks" like he doesn't have a gun. At least I would shoot that guy just in case he had a P1911 or something

He thought he was dead. I've seen goons do the same thing to guys with guns in their hands, while I'm in discord like "That dude you just walked over and tried to loot was alive."

Tony's av is a kid from the Spanish gp that started crying when kimi got taken out in turn one. The f1 thread joked that the kid was Tony, because Tony is a highly offensive Ferrari fanboy who would cry over that. The kid later got to meet kimi and was happy, Tony later stated he didnt cry but did in fact soil himself.

That's the story, thanks for reading.

I was gonna make a joke about it being about Ferrari resigning Kimi instead of getting some fresh blood on the team but as per usual the truth is funnier than fiction.

I can't move or do anything and it doesn't go bast this point and I have to kill it from the task manager. The game has worked without major issues for me until now, restarting and verifying game files doesn't do anything :psyduck:

No worries, you were probated again and couldn't do it. Not sure why you're apologising.

Content wise, how does the map work with the circles? Been thinking about buy this and I'm curious to know, as it seems like the circles are what push players together.

the playing field constricts at set intervals to smaller and smaller circles that hurt you not to be inside of.

I found the perfect way to play this while I work. I fall into some random shack in the white circle, leave the sound on and go AFK for 10 minutes. Let me see how it goes.

Mar 31, 2016

Trip report: game is very fun. I have developed a strategy which involves parking a vehicle in the area between a high-population area and the edge of the zone so some straggler uses it to try and give himself some more room, then you mow them down, take their stuff, and then use the vehicle to get yourself into a better spot and repeat.

Round one: man saw me and shot me because I am bad and didn't react fast enough

Round two: I got one kill with this strategy and then set up a second one. A plane flew overhead and I was looking at it drop the crate and then a guy murdered me from behind with a shotgun that I never heard coming because of the plane. I know he didn't time his movement on purpose but gently caress I got next-leveled

Round three: some nerd left the door of the house he was looting open, I ran to the nearest shack to grab a shotgun then ran back and mowed him down. Killed a second man who was camping in a bush, used the vehicle strat to get a third guy who tried to switch from his van to mine, then fourth kill I got from driving up on a nerd, jumping out of the car, and we played ring around the UVA for a solid minute before I finally got the drop on him and shotgunned him down. I made it to #4 with 4 shotgun kills but I could have gotten more, the final guy I killed had an M4A1 with a 4x scope which I traded for my lovely bolt-action but I forgot to grab his ammo so I ended up getting trapped in the circle by snipers

I came up on a squad of pubbies who were usi mong the global chat to talk to each other and heard them say "holy poo poo a dude with a shotgun and level 3 gear is outside" so I shouted "yo you know everyone in the area can hear you guys? Get a discord before you all get murdered. Now so I don't come murder you right now let me go unharmed" so they did and one of them was like thanks man good luck and gave me an energy drink and we parted ways :3:


Then I shot out the tires to all the vehicles in the area and they died in the blue zone trying to escape :kimchi:
