I join duo with a mate, and right away I can tell he's not in the mood. We land in a small cluster of houses with two enemies landing beside us. They rush into one house, we rush into another. I grab a pistol that only has 15 bullets, he grabs a pan. He gets downed by the enemies and I manage to kill both with just the 15 bullets. We loot the bodies, meaning we've both got weapons (a shotgun each and a pistol each). We then move to a nearby village, start taking fire, I kill the enemy with my pistol at medium range, then go to loot the body. My teammate stands right beside me and says "I'm definitely watching your back", even though I kinda knew he was doing that to make it easier for us to both get killed. Some people in a church start opening fire on us, I suppress them with the SCAR I picked up and tell him they're there. I manage to down one, forcing them to back off. We slowly make our way up the hill, my teammate instantly dies and I go and kill both enemies in the church. I quit to lobby cause it was early game and I don't feel like going solo in a duo game. We play a few more games with real bad luck then I just call it a night cause I can tell my friend just isn't in the mood despite inviting me.

Turns out the VSS is pretty good. I got it first item at crates and went on to kill 4 with it and chicken dinner. I sprayed the final guy down with a SCAR in third person but i think i actually would have done better sticking with the VSS the whole way through.

I stumbled on the underground bunker/tunnel system for the first time a few games back. It might have just been the way the circle closed in but I was first there first, looted up good, then camped it out for a solid 10 minutes. Good place to get some kills on some unsuspecting looters who think they're down there alone. I died more or less as soon as I had to surface

Really hard for people to isolate when you peg people with it, and it has a pretty good effectiveness at close-mid range.

But one of these days I was gonna bash out tonnes of solo games just to pick up experience in gun fights and stuff. It lets me reset real quick if I end up dying. unlawfulsoup posted:It is a murder machine used properly. Really hard for people to isolate when you peg people with it, and it has a pretty good effectiveness at close-mid range. If I get shot at by someone with a suppressor, I just start zig zag running. I figure if they're far away, it'll make shooting me near impossible, or insanely difficult. If they're close by, I'd probably be dead in the time I manage to luckily find the right side of cover.

Solo is good if you drop into a crowded area and have some fun early brawls. I'm not a fan of solo queuing myself but it's always a good time when you do that.

That's exactly what I'd use it for, seems the best way to play solo. I wouldn't plan on being the last alive, I'd just drop right off the bat in the nearest town to get better at house fights and stuff.

If you drop somewhere hotly contested, you either end up with fantastic gear, or you die quick and can queue up for another one. Way better than crawling around for ten minutes with crappy gear and then dying to someone who got the good loot.

Yeah, except if I just wanted a 'shoot internet mans' experience there are definitely smoother ones. I just don't find solo terribly fun, and I think that's because it's a lot more fun having extra eyes and ears to help loot and listen.

Yep totally agreed. In anything past one person there's more forgiveness for getting shot at from an unknown direction - with some friends you can narrow it down, revive anyone who's unlucky. In solo you have less than a second in a lot of situations and then you're dead. Edit: Not to say I can stop shoving my face into the meatgrinder though!

there are some things you can only do in solo though, like picking off some rear end in a top hat camping a window or ledge from long range in teams he would just get revived and now you gave away your whole squads position for nothing

What I like about solo mode is if I get clever and do something smart, there isn't an rear end in a top hat 20 feet away from the person I just shot who will shoot me and revive him.

Got my hands on a VSS for the first time, in the second house I checked in a solo game. Got to #6 with 4 kills, but flubbed up on someone who was close by with an S12K. Goddamn, the range on that thing sometimes.

This latest patch has been doing me real dirty. I've had plenty of instant deaths with no down but not out stuff with team games, alongside a handful of instances where I've been one shot downed by a single body AR hit when armored up. Couple of those good insane vehicle bounce deaths too. The biggest thing by far though is I've been getting these weird framerate hitches that weren't present before. It seems like in general performance is a little better, but now whenever I do any kind of quick turns it's a crapshoot as to whether my game will hang for a few seconds or not. It's lost me a good half dozen firefights where I knew something was coming and reacted with fast enough movement to make it poo poo the bed; Quick 180s to try and face someone sneaking up, or even like a fast ~90 degree turn around a corner where someone's waiting. That kind of thing. Sorry if it was discussed already when the patch first hit, but has anyone else been getting that hanging and is there anything that might be done to rectify it? I feel like the game itself is loving me over more than the other players recently.

Illiterate Clitoris posted:https://twitter.com/BattleRoyaleMod/status/869015542887206912 Thank loving god. I dropped into Mylta power plant or whatever, the burned out warehouse and got stuck with a 1911 vs a rifle so I ran to the roof and jumped onto the pipes. Promptly fell through the pipe grating and got stuck. Couldnt crouch my way out, jump out, or prone out. I waited for the other guy to get near and fired at him so he could kill me. Vaulting out would be welcome. Also spent a lot of the night being frustrated at all the various low walls i can't jump over. In other news the VSS is actually loving dirty in the final circle. Since everyone is usually shooting and exchanging fire people usually: 1. not at full health which means the lower damage is less of a problem 2. distracted which makes the vss even more clutch at disrupting fights without drawing attention 3. full auto which lets you spray into bushes you think have wookies Managed to chicken dinner with a vss & a scar. Only used the scar for the last guy since he had to run through no man's land. Posted up behind a tree and watched for the runners to start causing havoc and got some chip shots in. Finished off a guy who just survived a fight and only took a body shot and headshot with level 2 helmet and unknown vest. If they buff the gun at all its gonna be even dirtier.

It is first on the priority list, it's just a much more difficult fix because apparently the issues are caused by something in the core UE4 code.

Also, on the whole the Asian servers are running really well for me now, but NA is horrible a lot of the time. The player count hasn't gone up appreciably since the patch, and they use AWS anyway which scales based on demand, so I wonder what causes it to be so variable from game to game?

This patch also introduced some weird pop-up for me that throws me to the desktop in the first match I play after starting the game. I'm suspecting it's got something to do with BattleEye. Dunno if I'm the only one with this particular issue, though.

BattlEye will open up a separate dialog box with whatever it's blocking noted, but that's before the game actually loads that it'll come up so that shouldn't be the problem. There should also still be a dialog box unless you manually exit out of it.
