 I didn't realize until I saw the screen how close of a thing this was. The circle was going to kill me in two ticks. Got him just in time.

I'm really new to this. Grabbed it just this month. How long does it usually take (solo) to get the first chicken dinner? I've certainly had some bad luck getting killed early on but at least half the time I get to the top 20 or 10, sometimes even 5. I always die at this point though. I tend to get killed by someone I never even see. I'm wondering if I'm getting too old for a game like this and my spacial awareness and reflexes just can't compete with the kids. I also find that my biggest problem is I jump out of my skin when I get shot and don't expect it, losing a lot of react time.

Dinners in this game are hard.

When it comes down to it they're all balanced pretty similarly and it comes down to personal preference. The only weapons that are way better are crate only weapons like the SAW, Groza, and sniper rifle variants.

My personal preference (non crate weapons) Rifles - AKM: The best - SCAR: The most accurate - M16: OK alternative - M416: Trash SMG - Vector w/extended mag: the best - Fully modded ump: close second - Uzi: Workable - Unmodded ump: in a pinch... - Vector w/no mag: garbage Shotties: - S686 w/choke: the best - S12K: Very good - Pump w/choke: Workable - Pump/S686 w/o choke: throw em in the bin

flatluigi posted:I'm brand new to the game, is there a good cheatsheet out there for what guns I should keep/trade out for? Use what you like. All of the ARs are totally viable. Shotguns and SMGs are great too. Generally speaking though there is kind of a general "tier" list when it comes to each category ARs: M416 > SCAR > M16 = AK - The only reason the M16 and the AK are below the other two is having less attachment slots but overall the difference between the guns is relatively minor. Most people I play with prefer to have as many slots filled as possible so the M4 and the SCAR are generally favored over the other two SMGs: UMP = Vector > Uzi = VSS - People tend to have a love/hate relationship with the Vector. It was loving incredible a couple of patches ago and was an easy first then it's per bullet damage got nerfed. Plus it basically requires an extended mag otherwise you're stuck with a lovely 13 round mag which you'll dump in about half a second. The UMP tends to be the go-to here since it's common and can be modded out. The Uzi is fine early game but has the lowest per bullet damage iirc so drop it as soon as you find something better. The VSS is weird in that it's almost totally silent with its built in suppressor but it has such poo poo damage and such pronounced bullet drop it's real hard to kill people with it. Not a lot of people like it. Shotguns: All equal and up to preference. The pump has a larger capacity but low ROF. The over/under has a long as gently caress reload but lets you dump two rounds into some poor guy who isn't expecting it. Both of those can take a choke attachment which make them lethal out to fairly absurd ranges. They are generally one shot kill weapons if you hit center mass but is you miss expect to be punished hard. The SK12 is semi-auto but does slightly less damage and takes AR attachments so you can't put a choke on it. Sniper Rifles: K98 > SKS - The K98 is a bolt action sniper best paired with at least a 4x, but it has unmatched headshotability outside of crate guns. A headshot will kill or down anyone not wearing a lvl 3 helmet. The SKS is a semi-auto with a bad reputation for being hard to control. You need to get used to its recoil but otherwise I find that it's totally fine. Crate Guns. I deliberately left off crate guns since they are, by design, rare. The AWM and M24 are both instant pickups since they are first and second in damage respectively so use them if you find them. The Garza is supposedly really good, has a built in compensator (so you can have both a compensator and a silencer). The M249 is interesting in that it's the only light machine gun in the game, but it can be hard to control unless you're prone in which case it's a laser that kills anything. The Tommy gun is... well, the tommy gun. High capacity SMG with very little in the way of attachments you can use. I also left off pistols because you should be dropping those and only using them if you absolutely have to. They will surprise you in the early game though. Generally speaking my preferred loadout is an AR of any type and an SMG or Sniper Rifle. Really though you should get comfortable with every gun as this game will often times force you to use non-standard loadouts thanks to the ever present circle and your need to be inside it in a timely manner. Other than that you'll probably develop your own preferences and you should stick with what you like. Ice Fist fucked around with this message at 05:45 on Jul 11, 2017 |

I think its mostly really personal taste Like this quote:- S686 w/choke: the best I'd pretty much change that Pump -> s686 -> S12k in terms of whether or not I use them. I've been really digging the pump lately. It also matters what else you're using, like if I've got an AR I'll probably take a shotty secondary over an SMG, double that if I found the glock. If I have a sniper of some kind I like to have an ump because of how versatile it is. Doorknob Slobber fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Jul 11, 2017 |

The m416 with all attachments & compensator on barrel is a laser beam and you can fire it full auto no problem even at range, and with a 4x it basically won't move at all tap firing. Love it.

Keep getting to top 4 and end up dying in solo. I have 4 days played so far. Going into heavy areas over and over helps a lot with combat. Reaction time and aim go up for sure. It is less aim now and more stupid decisions under pressure that screw me. Besides the ring that is.

Love it. A tricked out M4 is loving tits. I will dump any other AR for it. Scar or AK is 2nd depending on mods (ak compensator). M16 can lick my taint, get out if here with that 3 round burst horseshit i wanna spray and pray

With that said this is still a game that is more about positioning and getting the drop on the enemies than having godlike reflexes. I did fairly okay in Solo NA with 200-300ms ping plus a 40ms latency monitor plus my poor reflexes.

The new full-auto pistol is worth hanging on to for the whole game if you are a bad shot like me, it has saved my life in close combat. Extended pistol mags are everywhere so you can use it for spray-down kills just like a submachine gun.

Positioning well, taking good shots AND hitting them are a lot more important than twitch reflexes. Not that twitch reflexes won't save your rear end a whole bunch of times but at least you can try to avoid CQB situations and if you're slow and sneaky you can usually get the jump on people who are stomping around indoors. Oh and really, don't underestimate circle awareness, sometimes you need to recognize unlucky circle placement and start hauling rear end even if you have lovely gear or you're just stalking some guy or whatever. If the circle seems like it's moving southward towards the military base island you got to start working on getting there ASAP.

emanresu tnuocca posted:Positioning well, taking good shots AND hitting them are a lot more important than twitch reflexes. Pretty much this. Any equipment can work if you're good and or lucky. Me and my buddies almost won the other night in squads a few times. During one of those it came down to our last man with just a suppressed Uzi and an S1896 without a choke. He killed 6 people in the final circles and downed two of the final team before they got him. 3 kills Uzi from a bush until he ran out of ammo, 3 kills with the shotgun, and then the final downs were with the shotgun and a 1911 from across the circle. He really needs to pick up more grenades though, he could have hosed those last guys up with a single frag.

Pro tip: A level 1 helmet isn't going to do poo poo vs any real gun shooting you in the head. Instead, go full fashionista with the punk goggles, balaclava and beanie.

Proer tip: A level 1 helmet is a big step up from no helmet. It's the 1->2 step that isn't a big deal. Weapons that one-shot headshot with no helmet: -AKM -Groza -M16 -M4 -SCAR -M249 -Revolver -SKS -Kar98 -M24 -AWM -Crossbow Weapons that one-shot headshot with helmet 1: -Kar98 -M24 -AWM -Crossbow Weapons that one-shot headshot with helmet 2: -Kar98 -M24 -AWM -Crossbow Weapons that one-shot headshot with helmet 3: -AWM -Crossbow TL;DR: Getting a helmet 2 is nice but not crucial. Getting a helmet 1 is a must. A 1-hp helmet 3 beats a full health helmet 2 because of this as well.

PROEST TIP: If you knock 3 people and the shooting stops BUT you haven't been credited kills, they still have a fourth. If you kill someone and they have a buddy, thats when they get knocked. if you kill someone in the fight and there arent a bunch of kills awarded after that, there are still more left. Said this twice to people in discord who then died saying "nah they are all dead" If someone calls instant, it means they died without getting knocked. You can only be knocked if you have standing squad members left to rez you.

Probably had my best setup while going to the second circle solo last night. Vehicle next to my building, level 2+ everything but helmet, silencers, tons of ammo, meds, etc... Right as I'm about to start moving in some guy grabs the vehicle and doesn't die when I pump an m416 mag into it/him. So I have to hoof it. I die instantly about 30 seconds later to an M16 that I can only assume landed a couple of headshots from a burst. A+ would die again.
