Bought this last night and played a round. It was fun. Found myself doing a LOT of running though. I think I only saw about 3 or 4 players the whole game. Ended up getting a kill and finished 18th so I was pretty happy overall. A couple of questions though (I've probably got a million). -I had semi automatic rifle of some kind and it said "single shot" under my ammo count. Does that mean I could have changed it to burst or full auto? What's the hotkey for that? -Any tips for looting/inventory management? I was in a complete panic whenever I did it as I was freaking out someone would kill me so I didn't have a lot of time to play around with the interface. I assume there is a carry limit? Where do I see that? How do I drop things, do I just drag things from my inventory to the left hand side where the available lootable items are? -Is there a way to bring up the loot menu for items lying around on the ground rather than trying to spot random elements in the pile and pressing the action key to pick them up? -Any good new player guides/resources/youtube channels? -Is there a spectator mode once I'm dead? I didn't know how to get out of the "better luck next time" summary screen once I was dead and just had to disconnect.

There is a limit to what you can carry. Vest & backpack increase this limit. It's the little vertical white bar on the character inventory screen. To drop things, drag them to the left side Hit tab to bring up the "loot menu" to see what is in the vicinity This thread is a good resource. Also watch streamers like https://www.twitch.tv/shroud & https://www.twitch.tv/chocotaco to see how they loot & play, and try to do what they do There's no spectator mode (yet) after you die. Unless you are playing with squadmates, you can watch their perspective after you die.

Fresh accounts are banned from trading for 30 days after spending money, right? It'd take some planning then.

Where do I see that? How do I drop things, do I just drag things from my inventory to the left hand side where the available lootable items are? First off, rebind the inventory key to TAB because its used a lot. When I first drop finding a gun is #1 priority. Dont gently caress with fistfighting. After getting a backpack and a gun I'll start collecting foregrips, sights, barrel attachments even if i dont have a gun for em. Dont bother with pistol attachments after you find a real gun. Dont bother with quickdraw mags, only get extended or ex. Quickdraws. Dont grab more than a couple grenades they can take up a lot of space if your backpack is only lvl one. Its alwasy good to grab the 7.76 or 5.52 ammo even if you havent got a gun for it. you probably dont need more than 180ish ammo for any gun. Pucking up stuff like backpacks, helmets or vests is fine with the f key, but if there is a big mess of crap in the floor hitting tab/inventory is faster. You can click-drag crap right off the floor and put it on a gun, so going into inventory is quicker than hitting f and then having to go in anyways. Note if your pack is full the click drag from the floor wont work if your swapping out another attachment

I want to see that 7 kill streak in solos if it isn't the lagswitch/teleport thing. That's got to be hilarious. Funnily enough I've only had it happen twice myself where I suspected someone of cheating (other than teaming) and only reported one of those. They did both end up banned though, I believe. One did for sure. Dude killed me through terrain with a single, non-headshot M416 round on a >1 vest. Didn't even know damage hacks of any kind existed until then.

I had a guy run into my building, perfectly silent (no footsteps, interactions / doors, nothing) and one-shot me with a SCAR while I had full health and level 3 gear. I saw the door open and him walk in and then just went right to death screen. That's the only really questionable one I've had.

I wouldn't mind having a leaderboard for each match I've played showing how many players got what kills etc. I'm really curious how the matches unfold and if it's mostly people killing 1-2 players each or good players making GBS threads on everyone else.

I'm kinda confused, I just hit a guy four times in a row with a mini 14. Didn't drop. Not sure if he had a vest or not. He was wearing one of those pink suits that may have covered it. Then I headshotted his level 2 helmet twice. Still didn't drop. It's possible he bandaged or even first aid between the headshots, but it still seems kinda weird to me after looking at this damage chart

I'm mostly confused about the 4 hits without dropping because I'm not sure what a level 3 vest would look like under a pink suit but I guess that must have been it. I frame by framed the rest of it, and for the headshots he definitely healed and then I hit him in the shoulder the second time anyways.

Blood spray is client side. You may or may not have hit all or some of those shots and there's no way for you to know other than the enemy player dying.

Bought the game after watching some streams and now I have a few questions: - how do I close doors behind me without turning back to do it? I've seen chocotaco do it in his streams all the time? - is there a reason why streamers seem to drag/drop items when looting instead of right clicking on them? - when looting with tab open, how far can I move and still be able to grab the stuff?

weirdly chilly pussy posted:- is there a reason why streamers seem to drag/drop items when looting instead of right clicking on them? This one was because you used to be able to drag and drop loot instantaneously, whereas right clicking would take a while. Now it's just a good habit so you can do the same motion to pick up an attachment and put it on your gun or equip armor from the ground.

Maybe before it's completely shut You know you can still use WADS to move while the inventory is open. if you think you missed something can move around to check it out. Also usefull for wiggling around looting in the danger zone

Regrettable posted:This was, of course, on the Asia server. Aaaaah asia server memories. Was taking shots one time to find it was from a guy in the middle of the street laying prone. In the center of Pochinki. I had to do a double take because i thought it was a corpse. Another hot pochinki drop I fled to a the dark blue 1-story building after ghosting a guy inside. I healed, reloaded, looted, hung out there for a bit peeking at nearby gunfire. After all that time I go to head out, and check the bathroom door... Another guy inside panic sprays an ump and i blast him with my AK after making GBS threads my pants in surprise. Last night I was looting, heard footsteps in the adjacent building. Waited by a window for him to pop out the roof exit, but he never does, must have heard me because he's frantically running around downstairs before going quiet. I hop down, go inside and spy him at the top of the staircase with a double barrel looking down. I scream into the mic and he whirls around a bit while i pop out and kill him

What's the consensus on first or third person? I would have thought you should stay in 3rd while travelling and first once you get in a house or something but I was watching Shrouds stream today and he was in first the whole time.

He was probably playing FPP only. If you are playing 3rd person there is no reason to be using first person. 3rd person literally lets you see around corners and over walls, so you want to use it all the time if you are playing that mode.

They're two separate modes. Third is where you die because someone saw you by swinging their camera around while still remaining completely behind cover in a game that otherwise tries to be tediously realistic. First is where you're constantly seasick and can't drive because your screen is 90% dashboard and to win you need to mash the lean key all the time like an idiot.

i have no idea how people lean so well. q and e is awkward if you want to side step at the same time. i tried a bunch of other key configs and none of them worked that well. putting it on shift-a and shift-d almost works great but you get stuck in the lean pose if you release the keys in the wrong order. maybe i need an autohotkey script to smooth it out.

They need to make the speed the blue circle closes at proportionate to the amount of people that are still alive. Since FPP came out I find that in solos it quite often gets down to <30 people by the time the first circle closes and the rest of the match is empty unless you have a car and can go for air drops where you're likely run into people at least. It's like the opposite of that one clip of some dudes playing in the asia server a few months after early access started and by the time of the first circle closing they notice that there's still 93 people alive

You can set it to hold or toggle. Or even double-tap to hold. I use the double. I can still hold for little peeks, or if I want to stay leaned in one direction while moving, I double-tap. Leaning again or sprinting breaks the hold, I think.

Hellsau posted:NA players will default to AS, EU players will default to NA, AS players will default to RU, RU players will default to EU. Problem solved. I was queued with goons playing on NA yesterday and noticed way more asian player names than usual, so I'm wondering if this isn't something along the lines of what is actually going on? Macaluso posted:Someone in the subreddit made an offhand comment about the Unity store-bought assets in the game. Is that true? If that's the case, have they said anything about planning on replacing everything with their own stuff at some point? People poo poo on those games because they're usually garbage low effort games which use those assets to get the effort the devs have to put in as close to zero as possible, so that they can churn out another 200 of them. They're the sort of low quality garbage that people have been complaining about clogging up the steam store. The only reason for anyone to have a problem with store bought assets outside of that is that a dev might be using super high polygon count models that make the game run like poo poo, but as someone else already said they're using simplygon which is supposed to optimise that for them. Anyone else claiming to have a problem has probably only heard about those pesky "unity asset flips" but don't know why they're bad or what the problem is and are hopping on the bandwagon.

Part of that is I think a cultural thing about how different groups play, western players seem to be more aggressive and willing to take risks while Asian(but chinese especially) players are overly cautious. Dota 2 has a really good example of this from it's big valve hosted tournament where a game with chinese teams facing off against eachother lasted over an hour and a half when games are often half that length, and it was all because neither side wanted to try to make a move against the other unless they were sure they'd come out on top.

They've let it go HAM with whatever automatic/default settings it has, but it's hosed up a bunch. Next time you have a plane flying close enough to the spawn island, check out the giant squished sphere that is the LOD mesh for what I think is the crashed plane there. Same for all the clay buildings people keep seeing.
