I did have a good game with VSS, but I was forced to move by the blue wall and no healing items and ran infront of someone.

At least I can think of the game in the last game that tried to run me over, flipped the car and I shot him before he could get out.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

I drop in the Georgopol shipping yard, run around frantically as people make running punches for a bit until someone finds a AKM. I find a M416, look around for a bit and hit those houses up just south of them. First house, 4x scope and a K98. 2nd house, another 4x scope, more ammo, armor.

Things are looking up. I'm running for that hill just north of them, I hear a car and hit the deck, he runs me over.

I had a hilarious start to a game yesterday in the shipping yard. I found the overunder shotgun and killed a dude with it, picked up his scar, met up with my teammate. He had a VSS & a shotgun so I ask him to swap me the SCAR for the VSS. He drops the vss, I drop the scar & ammo, I pick up the VSS he doesn't drop the ammo, my shotgun disappears (???) and then another guy with a SCAR comes running up. I dip and hide behind a crate while my teammate gets lit up. This guy comes looking for me but I hide by a crate then run behind him and to the other warehouse. He follows. I do the same trick again and run back to my teammate's body and grab the 9mm. He runs after and I VSS the poo poo out of him. Then another person who came running up after all the gunfire, VSS the poo poo out of that guy too. End up with level 3 everything & guns and go to make my way out when I get headshot by a guy named Headsh0t4lyfe with a kar.

Was worth it for the beginning.

This is usually how my gameplay goes too. Ooh a scar, 8x, armor and ammo? Sniped out of the middle of nowhere. Pan and a pistol, 30 minutes of running around looking for something else only to make it to the top 10, then get sniped.

the only way to be immune to snipers (at least in terms of one hit kills) is to constantly be moving

like even if you're sitting behind cover, just constantly fidget back and forth erratically, and it's basically impossible to land a headshot

obviously doesn't apply if you're trying to hide in a bush or something but it's a thing very good players do that i try to remember

Yeah, that nets them the all important opportunity of reply, which good players then capitalise on with good tactical and mechanical reflexes to get the upper hand.

The funny thing about being gear poor is you're more likely to sneak your way to the top 10 because you won't be fixing for a fight like you would if you picked up a scoped SCAR/Kar. The good players (I'm not one) can take that gear and then smash their way to the Top 10. The bad ones pick a fight and then die.

Are scopes super rare or something? I usually find decent guns if I don't get shanked early but dealing with the end game is pretty tough without one

Also don't jump out of vehicles gta style you will die!!

They are medium rare. The best way to find a scope if you don't have one is to murder someone.

I had a great moment where I pinned a guy down behind a small shack right next to the blue wall, and then 10 seconds before the wall started moving I jumped in my car and drove off. Dooming him to the wall.

I love playing the psychological game, getting a suppressor and a rifle and just stalking someone to keep them on their toes

Ending on a high note :coal:



Also just had a fun squad chicken dinner where we survived to the very end after clearing out Yasnaya as a team and getting geared up, then took a great position on the final 3 circles and just mowed down everyone. We had 1 silenced rifle, a vss, and a silenced vector and were just plinking everyone until it was 4 v 3 and the 3 were not in the same squad. Ended up 3v1 with the last guy sniping behind a tree.

Ended with 9 kills and the VSS accounted for 8 of them in the final 3 circles, was just brutal silent death with an extended quick draw mag. Went through 130 rounds by the end of it.

Novo 95% of all games is my new go to. That spot has all the loot. Sometimes you gotta fight, sometimes you don't, always come out of there decked (remember the small wooden towers, they seem to have the sickest of loots). Only thing you might miss is a few non-scope attachments but you can get them in the town houses before you leave.

Btw the new m4 with an angled grip is my new favourite close to mid range run. If you guys are still picking up the vertical over the angled try a game with the angled, I think it owns.

Earlier in the thread some guys were having some issues wanting to change some keybindings but the game not letting you. You can do that in the game files themselves which are found in your game golder under %AppData/local/temp/. The file you are looking for is the GameUserSettings in the engine folder I believe, where you can just edit the code. Just find the clump of code containing all the keybindings and edit it to the keys you want. Fairly straight forward albeit a little confusing since they didn't use line breaks, but the syntax is there. I have my zero'ing on scroll up and down without the game swapping my guns.

The reason you can't do this is because if you had enough meds and enough level 3 helmets, you could live forever if you hill peaked.

Basically, the system limits the amount of fighting you can do once you have enough meds. Which is why helmets/armor even have durability to begin with.

I actually got my first chicken dinner the other day, but it's not showing on https://pubg.me (it does show my win in solos though) -- luckily I recorded the final few minutes (including the shitshow which was 90 seconds of me and my opponent crawling towards each other).

10 seconds before the wall started moving I jumped in my car and drove off. Dooming him to the wall.

I was desperately searching for a vehicle just outside Severny as the circle is closing in with a hell of a long way to go, when a guy rolls in for a last minute building loot, leaving his UAZ for me to GTA. As I peel off in these moments, I like to do my best Snake from the Simpsons impression over local VoIP. As he forlornly plinks away at me ineffectively.

Technically, you could just drop everything you have, go and hide the one bag, then come back for the other and all your stuff. But I'm also fine with not being able to carry multiple level 3 gear. It's hard enough when someone tanks all your shots.

This is the one feature request they have explicitly said won't happen. It's far too easy to imagine how you abuse this.

It's probably also a shitload more coding than they ever want to do, because right now you swap items back and forth without dumping literally everything on the ground and it sounds like a nightmare to rewrite the whole thing.

This is Break's settings for people who were asking. 20% win rate across all game types, so it's not like you have to play in 386 mode to win. He has the standard way overpowered for every game streamer PC so obviously if you can't run ultra don't run ultra.

Pro-tip: the moment you hear a vehicle scan your surroundings for the nearest tree or other obstacle a vehicle can't penetrate. Get close enough to it that you'll be able to hide behind it should the driver decide to Mad Max you. You'll be surprised how often drivers will still try to run you over despite a tree being *right next* to you, letting you get an easy kill.
