I can't stomach the playstyle of perpetual hiding. It is incredibly boring. I'm gonna drop school and I'm gonna kill a few fighting my way out or die trying. Usually what happens afterwards is that the blue catches up to me and I get sniped in the back. I pretty much loathe the part of the game where you just desperately outrun the blue only to die tired soon after.

Plan ahead. I'm not trying to be rude, but you have a long time between dropping and that first circle if you are outside of it. Say to yourself,

"I am way outside a circle, I did not spot a car while parachuting in town. I need to leave town at 2 min on the timer and run down this road that I know spawns cars along"

If that means you loot for 2 minutes and all you are running out with is a shotgun and a pistol, that's all you have. find that car and find a new place to loot.

If you only have a shotty, crash a complex in the circle and either hope you can shotgun a guy and take his stuff, or it's unlooted and you can loot that.

If you have an AR and a 4x but are low on bullets, park on the edge and wait for people on foot from heavy concentrated areas and shoot them in the blue.

Learn to disengage from stalemates in order to not get hosed by the circle. Don't fight with a guy for 2 minutes if it means you both are going to be 2k from the circle with 0 left on the timer.

I love pochinki but after I get looted up I get bored and don't wanna go house to house to get ambushed. I try to run to the gunfire and get kills that way but eventually that's a bust. What are good ambush points on the outskirts of that town?

My friend got a no-kill win his first or second game.


I've heard a lot of people saying that the loot tables are all hosed up, but only now did I have a match where this seemed to be the case. Could not find any primaries for so long, and only 9mm. When I finally did get geared, all 5 of the people I killed had pretty strange and lower tier loot, too. I managed to mash together a decent loadout from the Frankenstein of 5 loot crates though.

I know this was a page or two ago but I pretty much look at Twitch in a similar way that I view buskers; my city is quite prevalent for them.

They're just an alternate form of entertainment and some of them end up being quite popular; not all of them will appeal to everybody.

Good on them for being able to make a living out of it though.

Dyz posted:

One problem with Lipovka, Zharki, and Severny is they are all close to much better loot spots. Meanwhile Stalber and Gatka continue to poo poo up their sides of the map with terrible loot.

Umm Zharki, Severny, Stalber, and Gatka are both great got loot and for cars in solo. For some reason no one goes to any of those four and I can normally safely drop in and get fully looted. You just need to know where a range of car spawns are; comes with experience. There's at least five car spawns around the observatory for example.

I'm incredibly annoyed that the game has to load in completely or something at the end of every match. There has to be a better way.

I've played 280 hours so far and have not noticed any loot changes this week since the patch. Reddit is a huge circlejerk of people complaining because they keep getting shot by people with scopes, which obviously means the scope drop rate is hosed. That's not a paradox at all I guess in reddit land.

Just died because the terrain didn't load in for me and I was running around a blurry warehouse. Also had deaths earlier today because my parachute freaked out and teleported me 200 feet away in front of a guy with a gun and another one where my buggy did 40 flips after a 2 foot drop and exploded. Starting to notice a pattern here but can't quite put my finger on it.

Yes, it is. You can even carry it away with a car or flip it using a grenade.

Do you mean the crate dropping?

It gets kicked out by the plane that flies over a few minutes after you jump out. Multiple planes go across the map during the course of the game dropping anywhere from 1 - 3 crates; I'm sure someone here will give you the exact timings.

The plane seems to normally drop across the current circle.

You can get scopes, level 3 vests and/or helmets as well as high tier snipers such as the AWW or the M24. It also drops the Grosa and the M249 machine gun.

One square on the minimap is 100m, zero your scope as close as you can. Otherwise just shoot 'em and see where your bullets are landing and adjust.
