This game creates some hilarious situations. I mainly suck at it because my aim is rubbish, and I usually get wiped out with my team from an unknown direction before we can even retaliate. I've had the jump on someone with a shotgun / 4x scope, but my aim is so bad they'll have time to either take cover or gently caress me over.

What are some tips for aiming? Should I ever first person in close quarters? Should I only first person when the enemy is quite a ways away? I feel like 3rd person firing would let me aim better, but I'm so used to the mindset of "aiming down sights improves accuracy". That being said, trying to strafe and shoot in first person is near impossible due to the gun sway.

I feel like once I get the hang of aiming / shooting in this game, I'll dominate.

PS: can you get banned for killing teammates? We were in 4's yesterday, and it was me and 2 other friends on Discord with some random dude. We killed the fourth guy cause he clipped one of us with the guy by reversing over them, so we figured he had to pay with his death. We then got immediately jumped by 3 enemies and killed them, all whilst our dead teammate was speaking Spanish over mic talking about macaroni and "ey cabron!". So is it bannable to kill teammates like that?

first person is best, IMO, when stationary and usually at a distance. I first person in when I'm watching the stairs, or shooting through a 4x from behind cover, but if it's within 20m or so and I'm moving I just hold down the RMB and aim that way

also I don't think you can get banned for TK'ing, we've had to kill squaddies a few times when they've DC'ed with no penalty

There's no reporting mechanism, and friendly fire is always on, so I can't imagine any situation where you'd get banned for teamkills as the game currently stands.

I used the Vector once, never again. I really don't like the gun. It kicks like a mule and the recoil is just horrible to manage. It only fires 13 bullets. No thanks.

Without an extended mag, I don't see how the Vector is usable at all. I actually really like the Uzi in the SMG class, just wish you could put an optic on it.

I would kill somebody on an island IRL for binoculars in the game.

Also something I can use to breach doors would be loving awesome for the 2 times it would come up across 900 games.

I think the only way to really do that would be to have the circle biased towards denser areas. At a certain point there's gonna be so few people and such a small circle that you know where the badguys are going to be, and you obviously want to kill them from far away before they know you're there. That's intrinsic to the game's design.

Vertical grip, extended mag, compensator/silencer and it is pretty effective, puts down dudes real good. It's my go to close quarters secondary gun.

Another option is totally pick up the white circle and drop it somewhere so everyone needs to move. Then the blue shrinks down towards the white while the new white circle grows into a safe zone.

Look up Venn Diagram with one of the circles are white and the other is blue.

I hate how bad bandages are at healing you. Medkits are the only thing that are worth it, and painkillers / redbull is great for heal over time and to hit your max hp. Bandages? I rarely use them, they're utter poo poo. 4 seconds to heal 5% hp. Nah.

If there was an option to right click > consume all on bandages, I'd be more willing to use them. But sitting in my loving inventory for 5 minutes spam clicking use on them ain't my idea of fun and intuitive.

Bandages are good, and fit their purpose well when you're hurt but not <25% health bad.

Bandages weigh basically nothing, you can carry about 20 of them before you notice any sort of inventory hit.

rebind it to a mouse button. This game doesn't need more ways to heal quickly from no health>75%
