Any of you pro-AF goons have tips for increasing fire rate/firing full auto from range? I can single click decently accurately, am riding a ~2.5kda in most modes, but I'm absolute trash at full auto from anything further than 10 feet. I can't even single-click that fast from range without recoil getting out of control, and I feel like it's one of my biggest weaknesses in this game.

Any general rules/tips for controlling recoil from range?

Getting the comp is probably your highest priority for controllable auto fire, as even with grips and butts if you don't have a barrel attachment you're missing out on a lot of recoil reduction. Suppressors additionally don't have any recoil reduction.

The other thing to realize is moving one iota will make the reticule/recoil bloom like crazy so you might want to not be running and gunning if you expect to hit much from 100m out. If you are running and gunning I find the angled grip works pretty good for that.

Also there's the standard thing of turning your DPI down so when you are correcting full auto fire you aren't overcompensating.

Im starting to think lag is a big factor sometimes. I started punching a dude way before he started hitting me(sneak attack from behind) and he still won the fight.

Aim up, above their head. You can get punch headshots that do a lot more damage.

dipped my toe into squad games with goons last night and had a good time thanks for games

question though, as someone who's not really familiar with the ebb and flow of squad games, how does the early game work in terms of coordination, looting and engagements? How much should you be spreading out? work building next to a squad mate or give him a group of buildings to clear? if another squad is known to be in the town are people best served to group up or are the early minutes just going to be one on one encounters mainly?

We had a few games where we just weren't coordinated enough when looting, which lead to us being scattered when the shooting started. We came out on top of these early encounters a couple of times but always lost at least a squad member

In a smallish place like Pochinki, I think a squad should land in one corner of the town and loot near each other. As soon as everyone has a pistol or better, you should start hunting. In the few squad games I've played, I try to be the guy that's saying "you got a pistol/uzi/shotgun? Good enough, lets group up and start hunting". Knock out 1 or 2 of another squads lone looters asap and you're likely going to win that match up.

Are there any new recommended settings for optimizing frame rate? I've got 1080 driving a 1440p 165hz monitor and I've tinkered with the various video settings in the game but I seem to get stuttering and frame drops regardless. I've got an older processor (i5-3570k @ 4.4ghz) so I'm not sure if that's bottle-necking me. Would going from 16gb of RAM to 32 make any improvement?

Some stuttering is server related. If the stuttering is mostly early game it might just be the server. Game is not optimized enough so that no one experiences frame drops. I doubt going to 32 gigs of RAM will make a difference. Running off of an SSD I assume.

This bears re-emphasizing: if you know you have enemies in your AO, you find a gun and hunt them. You do not want to be on the receiving end of an ambush if you're spread out. Yes, they'll communicate your position to the rest of their squad, but with clever maneuvering, you can set up firing positions that'll let you wipe them.

willroc7: Most of my stuttering went away (same processor, 8GB ram, SSD) when I set texture to and shadow to medium. I'm on low or very low for everything else except view distance. I forget what that's at. I didn't gently caress around and check FPS stuff though, so I'm sure there's a more optimal setting.

Just got 8 more GBs, so hopefully that helps it improve too.

They put out a patch late last night that broke some stuff in game, and the servers have been down sporadically since then. It'll probably be fine by this evening if past patches are any indication.

If you rewatch that clip, you'll notice that the team in the house was actually fighting a different group at the same time. 1 of the 3 people upstairs had been knocked out already with a friend rezzing him, and another of his friends managed to kill people while you all were sneaking up. The last guy you killed was the last survivor of that other team. I don't think you two cleared the house really well, you just managed to take advantage of 2 teams that were already engaged.

But this is still a good example of why you should record your matches, because in the moment I'm sure I wouldn't have recognized any of that stuff either.

Thinking of changing my strategy by keeping the VSS, shotguns and uzis I do well with rather than swapping them for the 'better' guns I suck with

Only problem with the VSS is the low damage. If that's your only long/medium range weapon you'll probably die.If you can find one, I'd drop the uzi for the AKM or one of the M16 variants for medium range combat.

Anti-aliasing is the one that mattered to me. Changing it from very low to ultra doubled my framerate, presumably by moving load off of my CPU from 2009.

If you have an M4 or scar with a grip, it really just comes to pulling down. PUBG has very little horizontal recoil.

If you have an AKM, I would recommend 4-5 shot bursts instead of full auto. The recoil becomes unpredictably crazy after the first 5 or so shots.

Also, if you want to work on your recoil control practice on the spawn island before every game. Just grab an AR and practice on a wall.
