Chocotaco solo drops at the shooting range in a squad game. Drops entire squad. Dude is just on another level, god drat.

the last twenty minutes or so of choco dropping solo in squads have been exactly the sort of ridiculousness that PUBG is made for

around and around we go
So kinda strat talk follow up from choco's chat that qmass started answering before the stream ended. Is loot grouped in any way? So for example you'll generally find a gun and its ammo together. So often you'll walk into a room to see a shotgun and shells together. Can something which doesn't go, be with them? So can you see for example, shotgun, shells, and a flash hider? Or would the flash hider always be in another room?

Asking because choco was looking for a scope, walked into a room with a shotgun, and didn't check for the scope, he just saw the shotgun and left. So either 1) he's comfortable enough identifying a scope by sight or 2) what I'm asking is true. I know #1 is more likely but if #2 is what's happening it'd be nice to stop tabbing over every single cluster of equipment if it can't contain loot for my weapon.

so long as you're not doing phat jumps and hitting tiny bumps that immediately stop your car and murder everyone inside the driving in this game is pretty solid. Drifting around corners and poo poo just feels right.

Its probably 1, you can find all sorts of poo poo stacked together, but guns NORMALLY spawn with at least one stack of ammo. You can definitely see shotgun shells and flash hider all on top of each other, loot with tab.

guns 100% always spawn with ammo. it's one of those things you can use to tell us something's been looted. watch out for ammo stuck in walls.

Guns always spawn with ammo for that gun, but other stuff (clothes, armor, accessories, etc.) can also spawn on the same place. If you see a gun with no ammo, it's been looted. Sometimes ammo spawns with no gun, but I've only really noticed it happening with random single boxes of 5.56.

Houses also have pre-set loot layouts so if you know where those are in each room and can see that spot in the room, you're seeing everything in that room. In your example, Chocotaco a) can identify a 4x by sight and b) saw only the shotgun on the loot spot for that room, so he knew there was no reason to enter the room to keep looking.

North end of the island doesn't see a lot of people dropping on it so it gets wacky with people heading up there trying to get free loot. I like landing Zharki pretty much just to gently caress with the guys who drive all the way up there, it basically turns into Home Alone.

Yeah, my immediate reaction was that I should take the advantage that I got there first. Which I did, and then I fell through the ground. :negative:

A few days ago every single one of my regular PUBG friends was like 'nah pick whatever' when the 3PP or FPP question came up. I constant voted for FPP and now literally every one of them is all in on FPP.

It really is better.

One thing I did notice with the foliage turned up was that I could see a lot more trees dropping from the airplane, so increasing draw distance is probably one of the biggest effects from that setting. I thought maybe the grass was a little denser as well but it looked about the same when I turned it back down.

Trees shouldn't be dropping from the airplane. Hope this helps.

Why have the seasonal resets though, why not have just regular lifetime stats merged into one? What's the value for a seasonal system with this setup?

Like Hearthstone does seasons with resets, but as far as I can remember you don't actually see anyone's previous seasonal stats, not even your own, unless that's changed. However Dota has lifetime tracking and you can see all of that for an opponent or whatever.

I compare it to Diablo 3 where there is a big rush at the beginning of the season to get high on the leaderboards.

it was explained as being for testing their matchmaking system, which they've said is still at an early stage in development. so they want to reset it often to have lots of test data. i believe they haven't said if the resets will continue into release.

They won't. Also have to realize that a lot of people experienced significant performance problems in the early releases - I still do in FPP, as an example. I'll never be good or great at this game, whatever, but my early KDR compared to now are pretty different.

I used to think it was bullshit when a single guy wiped my whole squad but then I did it myself to somebody else - 3 teammates downed, ran in and saved everyone's asses in Pochinki. I'm not even good, I was just in the zone and got a little lucky on the last guy.

Of course that was like once out of 1500 games or something but if you were actually good at the game I could see that happening a few times a week or whatever.

They wouldn't put the report button front and center if they didn't want you to report someone every game. If they only wanted you to report people you were sure were cheating, they'd gate it behind hitting escape at the very least, right????

Scopes all look different and are pretty distinct from anything else, the only ones that are sort of similar at glance are the 2x and the 4x, but you are familiar with what the items look like you can generally tell straight away whether or not what you're looking for is in a room. The exception is when there's a big pile of poo poo all overlapping.

But usually you can identify when there is a pile of stuff that needs checking out or not presumably. Also scopes tend to stick up above e.g. clothes and stuff 'cause they're a taller item.

When you run out of bullets just use the kar as a shotgun. I suck so I don't think I can pull this off ever again.
Also, make sure your frags are equipped instead of your smoke grenades.
