IF IM NOT BITCHING ABOUT HOW SHITTY MY LIFE IS, REPORT ME FOR MY ACCOUNT HAS BEEN HIJACKED

1. You had no helmet on.
2. Did you even have armor on?
3. Relating to point 1, you took a direct headshot after getting hit by the first bullet before your 2nd shot ever went off. You died.

Look at his shoulders, he has a black shirt on, a vest and a backpack.

Hamelekim posted:

Sometimes I wonder if shotguns are even worth using. This should have been a kill by me. I guess because I didn't hit him square on he survived?

Now that I look at it closer, he seems to be wearing a Tier 3 vest, which could explain his survival.

You do what I realized I used to do after watching a lot of my own replays: because you're using 3rd person to peak you're naturally constantly aiming low to get the most information on screen which means when you engage you're already aiming low and dont get a good shot off which is extra important with the pump.

Also I don't know what this is a discussion.. the other guy has a vest, you half hit him in the gut for 17 out of 20 hit points at the end so 85% damage.

My team got swept out of the playoffs, and all I got was this avatar and red text

I remember when Viss was an Arma 3 Battle Royale steamer who could barely get 30 viewers, even though he was pretty good. Then he climbed up to 80 viewers, then PUBG came out. I mean he's not perfect but he doesn't get as mad these days as he used to. Anyway good for him.

Yeah, I tend to do that when I am stressed because I don't know which direction he is coming from, left or right, which puts me in a bad position for the fight.

It was a bad engagement, but usually I use a shotgun because it is pretty forgiving of bad shots. I seem to do better many times with the uzi at the start. Maybe its because I move more with the uzi and I tend to just stop and shoot with the shotgun.

I didn't realized you could see the damage done on the end screen. I was wondering how much I had hurt him.

Most of the time if I have a choice I will go with the double barrel. My accuracy isn't great so having the double shot will allow me to win fights I would normally lose because of aim.

I like the current map, always new areas to explore, especially with the new circle spread, but I can't wait to play on it.

Edit: Those dark brown pants I have will finally be worth using.

I am very new and terrible still and probably 90% of my kills have been close range engagements with a shotgun. The remaining 10% have been two or three SCAR-L kills at medium range, couple of close range pistol engagements, and two fist kills. I don't think I started playing until after shotguns were nerfed, and if no one had mentioned it in this thread, I probably would have never known they were more powerful at one point.

Probably Japanese or American vehicles.

I assume that the train tracks are going to be good for sniping and hiding from snipers in the desert since they should be raised.

Those are quote obviously Saguaro Cacti, and as a proud Arizonan I can tell you those are only found in the southwest of North America (mostly in AZ). It could also just be lovely stock art while it gets more developed.

edit: also, a saguaro forest would be pretty neat to PUBG through, lots of low brush for cover and saguaros sticking out would really provide a lot of cover

A lot of low brush sounds like a nightmare for third person it's already bad enough with tall grass on the current map.

To add a quick piece of advice to this, a had habit that I see new players do all the time: constantly peeking. stop it. The game has third person, if you're lurking behind a tree or in a house you don't need to ever show your player model until it's time to actually shoot someone (or you're trying to bait someone out). Play like a disgusting cowardly rat and win easy fights or give away your position and allow people to engage you to their advantage

I'm a fine connoisseur of the "find an isolated house near the middle of the circle and hide in a bathroom prone with the door shut and an S686 ready" strategy. The really good players will open doors at an angle so you can't immediately kill them, but there are an awful lot of people who will walk right into you BAM BAM before they know what hit them.

I too am delighted to see that it's not Middle Eastern desert. I've played at least seventeen trillion middle eastern desert maps in the last decade and almost no others. The lawn chairs and lovely building both scream American Southwestern Poverty to me as well, I think it's a safe bet it's set there. Not super wild about the shadows being blued worse than an instagram vintage filter, but that's generally one of the easiest and last things done in the level development cycle.

I pretty much only want to play this game now. I've gotten better at combat so most fights i win if i've got the drop. Still gotta get better at moving from place to place and playing with the circle.
