I have not updated my BIOS but did just fiddle with my settings since I probably hosed something up. I'll do the BIOS if I continue to have issues.

Except the opposite. Giving up on living and trying to kill me, the idiot with my back to the circle, is totally fine. I'm really happy with all the circle damages/speeds to be honest. There is soooo much time to get almost anywhere on the map and loot

Considering Ive won fights by running out of the circle to reposition/shoot while my opponents treat it like a wall, no.

It would also make edgecamping a bigger pain in the rear end.

What is your solution? That you die faster/can't shoot out/can't see out? Thats pretty lame though, why would you ever risk going far from the center if every round ends in lovely gas death? Thats one of the least fun parts of this game, poor time management and dying to the gas

The squad I play with has really been enjoying FPP squad mode too because there is no tracking. Players seem to be more willing to drop in to contested zones and fight rather than spread out and wait for the circle to bunch everyone up .

I don't think shotguns are objectively better at all. They have higher dps if the player is landing every shot but an ex mag micro uzi can still rip people apart, and it also can be used effectively for zoning/covering fire.

The shotgun has a time-to-kill value of zero, no other gun has that, this makes it objectively better.

Yeah but you can have two guns and your other gun is probably an assault rifle that can do that better than the uzi anyway. The shotgun provides something that nothing else does, which is the ability to erase someone with one click. SMGs are basically just rifles that can't do long range combat and their main feature seems to be the fact that 9mm grows on trees and you will literally never run out of ammo.

The majority of the time they are though, especially if you've picked up an assault rifle. The AR does pretty much everything the SMG does, and the shotgun is an instant kill in a game with client side hit detection which is invaluable

except killing people with a tricked out micro uzi gets style points which none of the other guns have except maybe the revolver and vektor

I personally prefer to keep the AR on single fire. It helps to conserve ammo and makes me less likely to accidentally fire full-auto at range when I'm trying to snipe.

M16/AK on single shot, uzi on full auto.

You can often create your own action. It's one of the things I like about chocotaco and it's why his is the only stream I've ever really watched. There are obviously still down times but he really tries to minimize them.

I'll usually take an SMG over a shotgun because I'm loving terrible with shotguns in this game and I can't get good hits.

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.

Shotguns are good, they're also enormously inconsistent past ten feet. I've seen plenty of good players aim spot on at twenty yards or so and well, RNG is hell. The Uzi gives you flexibility in that even if you're getting hosed by the spread RNG you can adjust.

They're both good guns (except the pump and the Vektor, ew) with slightly different niches.

One of the things PUBG does right is making most of the guns feel different and fit a certain niche. Shotguns are great point blank, SMGs shine at 10-50 yards (depending on the SMG) and ARs own the mid-range. You can definitely be successful with an AR up close, but it's reticle while moving is massive and it has a LOT more recoil.

I don't know if everyone else thinks of it this way or not but I basically think of guns in this game in terms of what range they're good at and try to get long, medium, and short covered as best I can.

So you've got Rifles are good at long range, great at medium range, and okay at short range, SMGs are bad at long range, good at medium range and good at short range, Shotguns are awful at long range, bad at medium range, and great at short range and Snipers are great at long range, okay at medium range and awful at short range.

The way I see it, considering 90% of the time you're going to be carrying a rifle because Snipers are rare and you need a long range thing, I don't see the point in taking an SMG as a secondary because a shotgun gets you better short range coverage and you've got the rifle for everything else. I can get maybe taking an UMP or a Vector as a backup to a Kar98 or something but that's about it, otherwise I'd always rather have a rifle and a shotgun.

The vector is genuinely unusable without an extended mag.

The Thompson is great though because it's basically just the vector but with a 100 round drum magazine and as long as satan gives you enough .45 to keep it fed you can absolutely shred people with it at any range you're capable of hitting someone without a scope.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one to Flavortown, and that has made all the difference.


Without an extended mag the vector functions exactly like an uzi at close range. Fewer bullets but more damage on each so it's a wash. But it really shines when you get all of the attachments and can burst fire at medium range. The vector and UMP are my favorite weapons.
