This. Also got my third solo chicken dinner a few minutes ago which included starting at the school and ending up running into a random care package headed to the circle and having a suppressed 4x Groza.

A suppressed Groza doesn't uhhh miss. Even at 4x.

Also, has anyone else been getting the "No one landed near me but all of a sudden there are 4 assholes in my little compound" thing lately? Happened 4 rounds in a row to me tonight.

I've had a few of those lately. Just missing them makes more sense, but it's weird it seems to have started suddenly after I've gained a lot more experience jumping and panning.

I am fairly certain that some people parachuting don't show up. My friends and I went to lipovka and I jumped out super early and circled them watching. I saw one person touch down and called it.

There were 4 enemies in the town.

Yep I was thinking I was blind or something. I was in an area and saw no one drop near me in a solo match - all of a sudden three people are in the next house over all fighting each other and another behind a rock shooting at me.

I even waited on the ground for a second to see if I spotted any chutes - Time interval was about 23 seconds. No one dropped within even near the radius of where I was.

Hey only got as close as 2nd in a solo buddy :hfive:

Granted I've played only about 20 solo matches. I pretty much exclusively play group and duo games. But I've come in 2nd twice with a good chance to win both times, like... shooting the person who eventually won.

Man, I've had days like that. I had a day last week where I got second in solo, then played with some friends in squad and got second, then played duos with one of them and got second, and then played one more Solo and got...second.

If you got there once, you can get there again. I'd like to stress that I am 35 years old and absolutely garbage at this game. Don't worry about it. You'll get your win.

TRYING
TOO
HARD
Just got this game yesterday night, holy poo poo it lives up to the hype. I tried dropping onto Gatka, but accidentally landed in Pochinki, and goddamn that was a poo poo show. The zone collapsed around the town, and at some point, I'd found a crossbow (gross), a silenced pistol, and a SAIGA (or whatever they call the AK shotgun in this game). It was about 10 minutes in at that point, and I just figured I'd lay down on this balcony while nearly a dozen people shot at each other from the buildings. It was the first time in a game I voluntarily didn't shoot at anybody I'd had the drop on. One guy finally came into the house, and I managed to put him down with the pistol before he saw me, but it was still insanely tense. Finally, I ended up in the top 20, Pochinki was no longer in the zone, and I decided to make a break for the countryside. I find a guy at a gas station, he doesn't spot me, so I get him with the shotgun, steal his bike and it's the biggest excitement rush I've had in a game in a long time. I've just survived deathtrap town, I got the better of a guy who should've noticed me from the gas station, AND I have a vehicle in my first game. Immediately I crash the bike. GG

This game is so much loving fun.

Awww dang. You will! And then you'll link together a bunch of kills and realize that was more exciting than hiding. Then you'll get a win and that will be the best until you get a win with a lot of kills and then

Upgrade the RAM, get an SSD he doesn't already have one, and then upgrade the video card. There are some tweaks that may help, but mainly it comes down to your hardware.

Myrmidongs and I were playing last night, I think and got a painful Duos second place. We managed to maneuver into an excellent position for the last couple of circles, hiding in a building. There were 5 players left (both of us alive) and we found the other full pair in a building facing ours. The other pair was trapped in their building as the circle cut off their back door, but not ours. I made a run around the back of our building and pushed them, downing one and putting a serious hurt on the other. I was downed but Myrmidongs stormed out of our building's front door to kill the other one and we got straight to an end screen. "Yes!" I yelled as Myrmidongs replied "drat." "#2/50" read the screen. Myrmidongs died to the circle and some random solo won without killing anyone at the end. It still burns.

Completely false, a person with a lvl 3 helmet gets a MASSIVE headshot advantage over anyone else. Pick up any lvl 3 helmet with 1hp over any lvl 2 helmet with full health.

Honestly had my favorite kill ever last round. Duo game a dude starts shooting wildly at our car as me and my buddy drove by, I hammer the turn key and drive straight at him. He backs behind a rock but his head still sticks out and I crash into the side of that rock so hard clipping him so he dies and the car does mad airloops.

Drove over my buddy twice that game too. Those were more fun.

Look at this guy and his fake news. A level 3 with 1 hp will survive a headshot with a Kar and the next bullet in your head will kill you. A level 2 will not survive a KAR, and you'll be two shot in the head by any AR.

Wait what? I guess I described it wrong. He was asking why it took so many hits to kill people and, numerically, it doesn't. I mean, a couple hits to the dome or four or five to the chest depending on the weapon doesn't seem like that much to me.

Speaking of plopping, here's me getting a crazy lucky air drop and not even thinking that the Tommy would also default to single shot https://streamable.com/m148g

Were Tommy guns even able to be toggled? For some reason I thought they were made to be either automatic OR semi-auto, not both.

4-5 hits to the chest, not arms, is a huge number in a game where bullets dont go through the arms, and especially if you're solo. Anyone can run around spastically to avoid follow up shots after the first one hits. I like the game but the combat in the first few minutes is a lot more satisfying to me, than when everyone is basically a tank with body armour. Maybe its because I came from arma 3 BR but everything that isn't a shotgun seems underpowered.

edit. looking at the damage table, 6 shots to the chest to kill someone with lvl3 armour with the m16. yikes. How in gods name are you going to hit someone 6 times at 300m

Arma 3 had a lot of weird stuff. For example, although understandable, shooting someone in the face was usually a one hit kill because helmets did not cover the face. The pilot helmet actually did, so me and my other buddies who were high ranked would use that, and then use a wet suit to make our heads a little lower profile. You could also one hit people in the crotch. Or you could damage one part of their body enough to make them die, like 3 shots in the same arm. The blue circle also damaged all of their body parts, meaning they'd have to heal to restore their legs and arms to better condition so you could actually run, or shoot without massive sway. However, if you were shooting guys in the armor, the shots per kill to PUBG is very similar. Oh yeah, and Arma 3 BR didn't have a durability system, so as long as you survived and healed, you could go right back to tanking everything.

Definitely agree with the view that hiding all game is going to make you worse in the end. Eventually you need to be able to aim really well because once you get into the top thousand on the leaderboard, everyone is insanely good at aiming and are still great at hiding as well.

that is why I made all of my friends who were not into ARMA do lots of school and military base deathmatches.
