I'm a big fan of the lesser seen "Hey dudes I have a silencer I'm going to see if I can hit this guy standing by a tree" and then your squaddie without a silencer just starts shooting like 10 feet from you

Aww, it was fun in my squad to rile up my squadmates (and they do it to me) by "kill stealing" once it wasn't useful to leave a guy downed

You may interact with doors, items, or vehicles while reloading. Reloads will be canceled with such interactions.
Good, now I don't have to do the weapon swap (or holster) manually when I'm impatient

Adjusted the play area to spawn more evenly within a circle, so that the play area does not appear in the center so frequently.
Seems like "get to the center of the circle" is less good of a strategy now? Alternatively "be prepared for more 'oh god the circle is loving us' games".

All in all pretty loving cool for early access.

Being able to rejoin games does seem like kind of a basic feature considering the number of disconnects/crashes every round.

Being in the center still prevents the next circle from being fuckoff far across the map from you, instead being only half that.

I think the main thing it might change is getting to the center and sitting inside a building for the rest of the game. But other than that yea, being at the edge of the circle is risky without a vehicle.

you can tell if someone's visited a house if the doors are open, which is handy both if you're hunting them and if you're trying not to get shotgunned on a staircase by someone you didn't know was there. randomizing doors removes that sense of security but I'd rather they left it because tracking someone house to house is a lot of fun and you can invert these expectations by closing doors behind you

Yes, if the doors are open you know it's been visited. But "closed" doesn't mean "all clear", and "been visited" isn't the same as "someone's here". Randomized door state would be more of a time-waster than anything, which the game doesn't need.

Especially a two store house. They could be upstairs.

I like to circle a house first and check through the windows to see if there is zero loot in the rooms.

You can always exploit that by closing every single door in a town and dump a first aid in the second floor of a building.

Here's my dumb idea: a loot heatmap on each map specific to the drops this round. Sure the bunker, school, military base etc all would be a deep red, but it would allow better reactions to the randomness of the smaller towns and groups of buildings.

also can you not punch someone if they're prone? I got into a weird standoff with someone who managed to grab a pistol before I could punch them out and went prone at my feet but couldn't aim upwards enough to actually shoot me so I was just jumping on their butt for like a full minute, crouching didn't seem to let me punch at all, then their teammate came upstairs and killed me

No, sadly. Takedowns are coming to this game, however, and you'll be able to get kills with a cool animation when your opponent's prone.

New strat in case you're bored.

During the loading stage you need to get lucky so an M249 spawns on a table. Take the M249 and go in the middle of all the people and go prone and shoot all the bullets. This is to get their attention. Then drop all your clothes, followed by the M249. Then while still prone, position yourself in front of the M249 and move forwards and backwards so it looks like your loving yourself in the rear end. Bonus points if someone shoots your rear end in a top hat so it looks like it's bleeding.

Then during the match the only weapons you are allowed to use are pistols, except you can equip other weapons to defend yourself until you find a pistol.

I really don't get why people insist on rushing to the center of the circle early on. You are forcing yourself to be generally immobile and defend from all sides.. its really stupid. The circle (obviously) moves slower near the "wedge", working the outer edge and catching stragglers while giving yourself a decent defense from the back as gas is so much smarter. I think its because people don't really get how to use meds effectively. A couple boosts and 5 bandages used correctly while running through the gas makes you last forever. Not to mention first aid or med kits.

Protip: you can move at .5 seconds left on any heal you're using. I've had some pretty amazing situations that seemed like sure death become good runs because I didn't give up in the gas and abused my ability to move while healing
