Going off that they've used free weapons from UR4 pack I'll guess the CX-4 Carbine. It provides a semi- auto early rifle and has access to the most common ammo with 9mm.

Late game the circle starts to do so much damage that it's impossible for a player to survive more than a few seconds.

Red zones can appear in areas that it would be physically impossible for a player to be because the amount of damage you'd have to live through to be there is beyond anything you could heal through.
Yeah but that's not "in the blue" as stated, that's outside the blue.

Is spectating going to be added eventually? I don't see it anywhere in the FP. I'd really like to know how the guy who killed me does after me.

I'd like a camera pan over to the general direction you were killed from.

i'd say like roughly half of my deaths are in situations where i couldn't even give a cardinal direction where i was being shot fro, especially when you're down to the last forty or so and anyone who isn't gonna die has a suppressed ar already.

The reason for a post match replay of the whole match is two-fold. It's gives everyone a lot of cool information and video. By being postmatch no one can use it to "cheat" to help friends or squadmates.

I attempted "breaking" the file by messing with the syntax of the contents, went through all the GameUserSettings.ini content, and looked into the Windows controller control panel. There doesn't seem to be a practical way to temp disable the rumble short of physically unplugging the controller at this time. I tossed a bug report up on their forums, so we'll see what happens there.

The incidence of this sort of thing happening in solo has to be so rate it's not worth making huge gameplay decisions based on it. I mean, are people really making the effort to discord up with randoms, or alternatively joining and quitting games enough to get in with their buddies?

Sorry if I didn't make it more clear I was really only talking about solo. I don't think I've ever been killed in squad and not seen where it came from because you generally have your team looking out for you.

But yeah, even a slow pan over to where the shots came from would be fine.

The game despawns players/cars a few seconds after you die anyway unless you spectate right away, pan the camera then so even then all you can tell buddies 10 seconds after you died that someone was in the hills over there somewhere.

How is the SVD distinct enough from the SKS to warrant inclusion.

When we have 20 of each type of weapon sure, but at this point there are at least 20 rifles I would prefer as they would be more distinct than the SVD in the current Meta.

Also, gimme the American 180.

It could come with a 4x PSO scope like the VSS does, given that it's standard issue on both of them. Not really a rifle but I'd love to see an RPK added, or something ridiculous like the VKS(think .50cal bolt action VSS).

IRL or in the game itself? 'Cause IRL the SKS is just a semi-auto AK with a small magazine, calling it a DMR is a video game thing, it's just a self-loading rifle not too far removed from the US's Garand.

The SVD is essentially a semi-auto Mosin with a larger magazine.

Left is what SVD and Mosin use, right is what SKS and AK use.



The niche for the SVD would be semi-auto Kar98.

No, you don't get it man. The cheap plastic stock adds accuracy.

I'll be starting up a list of people in Discord who shouldn't be allowed to drive. Probably !donotdrive or !dnd. Go ahead and send me nominations for bad drivers who will get your entire squad killed. Attach video evidence if possible.

People continue to underestimate my ability to sit patiently in a corner until they come down to look for me and get shot in the back. I landed in an apartment building in North Georgopol and a dude landed on the building next to me. I grabbed an S686 and ran to his building. He heard me come in and he was clunking around in the stairwell. I ran into the right-side room, opened the far right door the ran into the kitchen so I could see him coming. Sure enough after a minute of silence he slooowly crept downstairs. He saw the open door and charged into the room. I gave him both barrels in the back and looted in peace.

Sort of related, in 120 rounds I haven't crashed. Today I crashed twice. Both times I landed in North Georgopol, looted for a few minutes then ran across the west bridge. And both times within 30 seconds of getting into the town on the other side of the bridge I crashed. Anyone else getting that? I've been there plenty without crashing before.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

We need to distinguish between legit bad drivers (people taking a tour through the blue zone for no reason) and people making some sweet air who might accidentally flip a car in the process.

the first circle you can't easily tank with good resources is 700ish metres in diameter. i don't think i've ever seen a red zone spawn after that circle is blue

the red zone is a kilometer wide. i'm pretty sure it doesn't spawn that late or you'd get games where it covers the entire safe zone

Am I missing anything? It's only the crates which will cost extra, the game will still cost 30$ or so.

Though really going with these microtransactions after the game already made them a hundred million dollars is a bit too greedy, imo.

Yeah no, that's all I really meant. Like, if it was like Overwatch and you got a slow trickle for free but could whale out if you were inclined, I pretty much wouldn't have any problem with that.

they already said that monetization would happen once the game was released and that turns out not to be the case and are doing it in early access
