How did I even get here, son?!
My buddy and I accidentally did a duo match in squads and were really confused after the first 5 or so guys we took down. Ended up getting 12 kills between us and got hyper screwed by the circles, but good times were had even after he went down from a head shot and I had to chase down a circle on my own and could only kill 2 out 3 of the guys watching my side. 10/10 would relog into the game still squaded up from the night before.

it's a good game

had another duo win last night after a hard fought school drop. it really feels like duo is the easiest to win but that's probably because my buddy and i are the best two players out of our entire squad group.

neither of us are good enough to get consistent solo wins, though i should probably try it again since it'll probably be a lot easier due to the leaderboard reset

by the way they confirmed in the new official FAQ that matchmaking is implemented (and also that ballistics mask is purely cosmetic)

quote:

Is there skill based matchmaking?

Yes. An early version of our skill-based matchmaking system is already in the game.

i think most winning players already knew this since the games before/after the leaderboard reset were drastically different in terms of difficulty, but there you go, confirmation

M416 seems like the better gun to take as it does the same damage but fires faster. Major benefit of the Scar is the Impact Power, which I take to be how much your view moves when hit by a bullet.

I'll give 'em a hold

And if they can't play nice
I won't play with 'em at all
So apparently the vert foregrip doesn't improve ads, and kar bullet loops reduces spread.

416 with a tac stock, foregrip, and comp definitely seems like it is the best AR by the numbers...

EDIT: Going to have to give that a shot next time I play. I've definitely been just kind of following the herd and dumping whatever I have for a SCAR when I find one.

They reduced the damage and upped the recoil in the latest patch, so it's garbage now.

It takes all the running you can do just to stay in the same place.




I haven't lagged for days and then this happened right for the final push where everyone had to go into an open field. Feels like someone flipped their packet-spam-cheat or something.

Anyway, I'm somehow top 300 NA solo with a 45% top 10 rate despite being terrible at fights. I credit most of that to almost always pulling the chute pretty early and going somewhere far away from the plane.

Tunnel car is the best PUBG thing I've ever seen.

Got my first chicken dinner in the first game of the evening. Got an 8x in the first 30 seconds after landing on top of some apartments. killed a guy and got l3 stuff and then killed a guy at a supply drop for the m24 and a ghillie suit. proceded to not use the m24 and just shot everyone with an akm. Only had about 50 bullets the entire round and only fired about 20 bullets total. Shot next to last guy down, last guy shot at me, flashed me, then ran to hide behind another tree? so I just waited out flash and shot him to death.

Holy poo poo this game.

Even running with a mediocre squad and often going full games with never firing a single bullet, this game is the most fun I've had in years.

Goddamn I suck at shooting though.

I told you guys. M4 with angled grip is best gun atm. Now I have the numbers to back both of those "controversial" choices up.

No one knows for sure how the loot tables work. However, me and some of the guys I play with noticed what seems to be a sort of loot seeding. Sometimes we are finding more 4X scopes than we know what to do with. Other times we all founds Vectors, when they were still desirable. Sometimes it's KARd, 8X scopes or level 3 helmets. Hilariously we've had rounds where 3 of us have KARs and not a single scope. When it's less desirable items, it's probably less noticeable though because you quickly write them off as trash and then complain about something you don't have that you want.

I've noticed weird 'sprees' of the same item too. I'm always wary of attributing things like that to anything except random chance, because of the way the human mind can find patterns where none exist, but at this point I'm fairly convinced that there is something a little screwy at times with the way the game chooses to spawn items - perhaps the map is segmented into areas and a certain seed is allocated to each?

I feel the same but can't help but wonder if it's just that thing where we only notice the times when it happens but forgot all the times that it doesn't.

Any idea if there is a like a set amount of a specific item spawning each game, e.g., 10 Kar98 spawns every game in random locations, or if it more of a diablo loot table where it rolls through the options for each loot location?

Generally with this game I tend to believe they've done less rather than more considering this is early access. That would mean I think every loot spot just rolls its own dice, but obviously there are high quality vs low quality spawns. I have no reason to believe there is a global limit on items, why would there be? Over half the map goes unlooted every game so what would they accomplish? This isn't like Diablo, there's no economy to balance. I've also been wrong about things in the past like I didn't believe there was damage drop off at range or rank based matchmaking but clearly there are.
