Will hopefully be closer to the k98 in terms of damage. Or full auto if not.

Much like with the SKS they picked the ugliest and dumbest possible setup for an M14. When they finally add Mosins they'll be in Archangel stocks probably.

BTW it uses 10 and 20 round mags so it'll be like going full-auto with the VSS, run out immediately and reload forever.

Don't worry, like they say " It's all good! "

Finally, my first solo win! Managed to get 8 kills. Feel free to tell me how poo poo I am and that I should have dropped all my 9mm in order to pick up more berries.

Some of the video is sped up to not bore you to death and all the kills are in the description.

So, I guess it will either be a slightly stronger SKS if it's a crate gun or an on-par but less stupid looking SKS? Doesn't really seem all that necessary.

Cartridge wise, it should be stronger than the SKS.

oh my god I finished in second place a few games ago when I had the last guy in my sights but panicked over the blue circle and died stupidly as I came out of cover. Figured I blew my best chance at a solo win BUT THEN



thank god for my trusty S12K, great circle luck, and the last guy being real bad and not killing me while I stood up from prone in the final moments

Instead of the Mosin, they should add in the Obrez as a new sidearm...

Well since it takes the same cartridge as the M24 is should do about the same damage if they want to keep the damage consistent between the same cartridges, though that seems pretty insane for a semi/full auto rifle.

Eh, they haven't given a poo poo about that before. Thompson does more than the Vector, SKS does more than the AKM, UMP does more than the Uzi, etc. Not that there's a problem with any of that, really. Abstraction like that gives more flexibility when it comes to game balance. If they gave that much of a poo poo about realism, there would be a minimum of 4 new ammo types to deal with and a bunch of attachments would become specific to a single gun. Ain't nobody wanna deal with that.

Best part would be if you had to reload the ammo mags by yourself, bullet by bullet.

Also won a solo game and it was only 2nd game of the day. Avoiding combat mostly until the end seems to work, spiced with better positioning. The two remaining dudes were camping behind trees, and I killed them one by one by using the hilly terrain to my advantage. Tree huggers really are fun to shoot at if you can easily position yourself to a different direction thanks to hill cover.

Goons are changing the way children get an education in Haiti.

Edit - Oops, no they aren't. They donated to doobie instead.
I had a heartbreaking match last night. I was #10 and had great circle position and good gear at stalber...and got wedged in the geometry. All I did was back toward a corner where a wall and pillar met to 3rd person a wall. I didn't know I was stuck until I tried to ambush someone. It didn't look like I was in the geometry. I got all the way to #5 still stuck with me frantically trying to free myself. It wouldn't let me jump or prone but could spin freely.
I was about to be like 2 meters out of the circle and saw someone over the wall looking the opposite way.
I got desperate and tried to grenade him since I was going to die to circle but the grenade stayed stuck and killed me. If I had a do-over I'd just stay there and pop the ton of meds and boosts to see how long I could last

"Stuck in an RPG Pro-Tour"

The new gun seems like it will basically be the SKS 2, but just a tiny bit different? From a content design point of view, that is literally/metaphorically not a lot of bang for buck. The crossbow, no matter how kinda garbo it is at the moment, legit has some interesting ways / times to use it.

I wonder how the game will cope with having 30 weapons later in development where 90% have overlap. It'd be interesting if at the start of a match a random pool of 10 is drawn to spawn around the map, so every game has a different selection of weaponry.

I'm all for more variety where there's a bunch of roughly equivalent guns that exist basically just so everyone has a different visual model and maybe different sounds, but I don't see why that kind of thing would have to come at a one-a-month trickle.

Only thing that would make the MK14 great over the other sniper rifles in crates are if they pulled the Kar98k (cause it's a booby prize compared to the M24/AWM) and the gun also had a bipod.

I know this thread loves streamer news so some streamer who is definitely an adult named Summit1g thought someone was "streamsniping" him, but then was killed by another unrelated player immediately after. Mistakenly blamed the unrelated player for the imaginary crimes of the first, who was then promptly banned from the game. Bluehole is making magic.

I just don't get why streamers don't delay the stream by a few seconds and just block the minimap

Most streams are delayed, and a lot of them do cover the minimap and even cover their screen until they've landed. It doesn't matter. People are going to stream snipe, and if you play video games publicly for a living it's an occupational hazard you should just have to deal with. Snap banning someone because they killed a streamer who was already tilting is loving stupid and I hope they get raked over the coals for this.

Is there a cheat or anything that allows you to shoot through walls? I dropped in at the school and was in a side room by myself, facing the door, when I got tagged from the side by a shotgun. I looked over that direction but there was no one else in the room, and as he shot the next few rounds I could see the flash of his gun clipping through the wall each time.

It's not a cheat, sometimes walls and their colliders fail to render and hit detection is client side for them so you're getting blasted through nothing.

Set the delay to 10 minutes and congrats no one can stream snipe you. If people can figure out how to stream poker, surely we can get over sniping in a shooter.

From what I've noticed it's not just generally failing to render, but there is some weird offset where it all renders 500m+ away from where it's supposed to.

I didn't try shooting at the misplaced assets, but I was able to down a guy who I presume I shouldn't have been able to hit who looked to me like he was walking in the air.





You can shoot through the "missing" assets but you can't walk through them.
