Shotguns are maybe the one weapon I'm comfortable with. I really love how lethal they are in this game.

Ninjalicious posted:

In close quarters: spray automatic or rapid fire and control the point of aim to be center of mass of your target. At medium range try to use your scope or aimpoint on but stick to auto honestly for pop up shots. At long to extreme range single shot or you won't hit poo poo.

Like people say, land with a ton of other people. Get starter wep and backpack. Kill someone else. Rinse repeat till midgame.

Any tips for pistols? When it comes to automatic weapons, is there any kind of pattern to the spray, or do you just want to be pulling straight down? Is there a good recipe for determining how far I need to lead a target?

In the starting area there's a large rock by the tables with the guns you can use to examine the weapon spray patterns. For pistols it doesn't really matter, if you're firing fast enough for it to matter you'll be close enough to the target that it doesn't matter.

Misclick and jump early in a squad game where one of our people fails to connect, decide to land at jail. 2 teams drop there with me, I take the house on the top of the hill and come out with a crossbow and a helmet. One of the teams wipes the other, and I enter the main building and see an AK lying on the floor right away, pick it up...

and then wipe the whole squad solo. That was a great thrill. Too bad about my computer freezing up constantly whenever we were near military base, that place just causes my computer to poo poo itself for some reason. I hope this game gets some more optimization soon, because god drat.

He meant the people who hit it really fast. You can do it just but it's about the speed of your button mashing. Just wait until you get down to 20 and then feather it. It only take a second and you'll get the hang of it.

So just tap it quickly instead of holding it for like a second and releasing?

This sounds like it's more on your end, although the game definitely needs a lot of work on that front.

IT'S ALL TURNED TO SHIT!
When I started I just tried to remember:

5.56 (green boxes) are for the assault rifles except AKM.
7.62 (yellow boxes) are for sniper rifles and the AKM.
9mm (orange boxes) are for the common pistol/SMGs.
Shells are for shotguns.
.45 (blue boxes) are for a couple rarer guns.

Exceptions exist but you'll pick them up as you get more experience.

Squadding up with friends in irl is like a bad sitcom sometimes.

There's the New Guy who has played approximately two minutes of the game in total before squadding up.
The Hoarder who compulsively wants to loot until everyone has two assault rifles and more medpacks than a trauma team before we go anywhere.
And me, the Cool, Smart and is also being a Nice Guy (who may or may not get them all killed when he wants to rush as soon as we find half a pistol clip).

With the power of friendship we combine to usually die about 2 circles in.

Yeah, it doesnt take too long to figure them out once figure out the gun categories. It helps tremendously with learning them since they always drop ammo boxes on the gun.
I have over 200 hours in this game and I still haven't bothered to learn pistol names and sometimes screw up at the start of a gun race when 2 pistols are on top of each other and I grab the wrong ammo for the gun I pick up, and have to swap guns or pick up more ammo. Doesnt get me killed. It's just annoying.

It's interesting the stronger meds and stims are worse than weaker ones because of use times and inventory space. That needs to be adjusted.

Maybe he meant it should take two seconds - stick yourself and plunge and be done with it (Pulp Fiction). I'm guessing with the clunky slow simulator-ness of this game they're imagining that you have to clear clothes, alcohol swab the skin, and then do whatever nurses do with syringes.

Lex Neville
Apr 15, 2009
He did and, imo, he's partially right. As it stands, the syringe is only slightly faster than using an energy drink + painkiller, while it takes up more inventory space than that combination and it has the downside of being 'uncancellable' at either 3 or 6 seconds to at least gain some boost. Its cast time should either be reduced significantly or, imo, it should become a stack of five that all give 20% boost at a 1-1.5 second cast time.

Doorknob Slobber posted:

It does say that, but the notion of 'instant' is often misconstrued in this context. It is instant in the sense that there is no build-up of energy after the cast. However, the same goes for med kits, first aid kits, energy drinks and painkillers - i.e. everything except bandages. What he was talking about was that casting it should be instant.

I feel it's really hard to practice aiming in this game considering that even the shortest cycle between games is at least 5-10 minutes (queue, wait for a minute, fly and land, find a weapon, get shot).

This has been my experience but I figure I'll just persevere. My only problem is it scares the poo poo out of my every time I die so sometimes I need to just land where nobody is and have a chill game.
