It seems like the more open a building or exposed a position is the better chance of good loot. The cafe/doughnut shop in the towns, warehouses, guard towers, and rooftops all seem to have much better loot.

Quarry is great sans meds. Only downside is how spread out it is.

Man the little "sub power station" to the SouthWest of the main power plant is loving insane loot. Recent solo game this place had 2 level 3 helms, 3 level 3 vests, and 2 8x scopes, in addition to like every AR and a fuckload of meds. I swear anytime the plane prevents a direct jump I just grab a car and burn rear end here, sweep through the building and am fully looted instantly. Is there a better place for loot density outside of Military?

Was loot rejiggled somehow a few days ago? I've noticed a lot more near-barren buildings generally, one time with myself and a pubbie coming out of the west half of Pochinki with nothing but a VSS each, which is weird as gently caress.

Is there a better place for loot density outside of Military? This is the single best building imo, at least on the northern island e: there's more to it that makes it great - and I should probably keep this to myself, really -; the main power plant is actually quite popular for people to drive to at the start of game and they pretty much always start looting the left side of the main entrance (the north side, to be clear). When that's the case, simply because of the compound being laid out like a horse's shoe, they will almost invariably end their loot run at the two blue tents in the south. Run up to the main power plant, check if there's a vehicle that isn't a spawn, drop a painkiller or a first aid kit in one of those blue tents if there isn't one already and you're pretty much guaranteed a free kill carrying all the choice loot of the power plant. Using 3pp, you can spot them from miles away without them ever noticing your presence. Being patient for a while while doing this is definitely 'sweaty', but it works well and is much less risky than just running in to loot the main plant after you're done with the substation Lex Neville fucked around with this message at 18:36 on Jul 31, 2017 |

I'm glad you guys enjoyed JScubby raging as much as I did. Holy gently caress that guy is toxic, I can't even imagine one of my RL friends talking like that while we are playing. What an rear end in a top hat. Me and my buddies had a PUBG LAN this weekend, it was tons of fun. About 7 of us total. I think we got like 4 chicken dinners. It was rough queuing up with the 4 of us that had the highest ranking. We kept looking up the people we were dying to and it was like top 10, top 50, top 200. It was becoming really really difficult.

It is a bit confusing, though. Here's a map I found of the inner layout. I'm not too sure of its full validity but I do believe the rooms aren't laid out in a simple square or star pattern

I have dropped that substation two or three times and it has had gently caress all for loot all 3 times. Maybe the loot rebalance changed something, where are the spawns in there?

The loot is scattered all across the floor, but there are a few crevices and pathways that lead to dead ends that make a full loot run tedious if you don't know the layout. I'll see if I can find a recording of me doing a full and efficient sweep of the place and post it here when I can, but I'm writing my MA thesis atm so it may take a day - feel free to send me a forums PM or add /id/lexneville/ on steam to remind me if you wish to do sowillroc7 posted:drat, it's pretty intimidating to see someone actually using their brain in this game.

Can't wait until this game gets keys and crates so I can gamble and maybe hit the pixel lottery VulgarandStupid posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkNhRbpdh84 The building just south of the apartments is the best spot to catch the idiots leaving them.

Waltchelg posted:I personally can't stand city fights. Final circles around buildings come down to whichever team/person is in the house it shrinks to wins. Even early game fights in cities are pretty awful just due to third person prone being incredibly good. City fights are a million times better than final circles in the middle of fields. At least in cities you can reposition. Fields you just hope you don't get sniped by the guys who had the circle spawn on them.

"Hey, let's go shoot people" "Okay that sounds great... just let me finish looting these two houses" This is not an unusual conversation. Just last night we looted military base, there was another group on the island somewhere based on gunfire so I suggested we grab the car and go camp the bridge before the circle forces everyone out anyways. "Hang on I just gotta finish looting the rest of these garages." *a minute later the rest of us watch a car head towards the bridge in the distance*  Then there's the infamous case of people who feel the need to continue looting even after they already have really decent gear desperately hoping the low% loot buidlings they're about to check will cough up a kar98 and an 8x for them.

Always stalk people driving around looting houses. Let them jump outta the car and run into the houses to pickup loot. When they come back out and all hop in the car your squad lights them up and you then collect the loot and a vehicle for free!

I hate being addicted to video games. I've been living at my lake house for weeks and I'm miserable because the internet connection is garbage. Is melee not client side? I absolutely can not use punches or melee weapons to hit anyone. I just swung a machete at a guy while colliding models with him at least 10 times and never landed a single one while he was trying to load and shoot a pistol at me. My ratings and kdrs have all been going down since I moved here for summer. Only one week left and I'll be back in the city. That guy earlier was right. I do have a mental condition.
