My squad ran into our first true hacker last night. Not like "man that one dude wrecked us and it was kinda sketchy" but moving 50 meters at a time in superspeed and then headshotting everyone in the space of half a second.

Never run into a blatant hacker but I have definitely run into the incredibly sketchy dude that stops his car in the middle of a field 200 metres away without a single contextual clue that I'm there, crests a hill on foot and instantly kills me with two headshots. Most of the sketchy poo poo in this game I just attribute to randomness - 100 people every game, at least some of them are gonna be the type of retard to crouchwalk looking around every single corner and murk my dumb rear end - but that one sticks out in my mind.

There's fucktons of blatant hacking lately. Until about a month ago it was pretty sparse, but occasionally you'd see blatant aimbotting. Last couple weeks I've been seeing blatant speedhacking or aimbotting almost every session of games I play. Battleye recently said they're banning almost 15k people a day in PUBG, though PUBG also just said that their bans apparently haven't actually been keeping people from playing. Yeah you read that right, people who got banned 9 days ago are still able to play because :bluehole:

Also lol if you play with WBG, I used to defend him as being possibly self-aware of how much of a shitlord he is, but holy poo poo he has no clue. He banned me from squad games for not resing him in time when he died to a red zone two months ago.

Pretty sure it involves circumventing some of the client side validation, given that they're using coherent (webkit UI middleware, it's not bad it just lends itself to exploitation if the backend's api is flimsy), it's probably as easy as pinning a cert (probably not) and changing some json on the way up. As long as they have a valid steam account with the game they should be able to do this indefinitely. This is why so many people want Bluehole to switch to steam vac/hw id bans (which would also permanently brand their steam profile). It might even be as simple as preventing the dialog box that informs you that you're banned from appearing rofl

In the past week I've seen some awesome poo poo, top two have to be:

A guy landing ~200m out from Yas apartments in the middle of the loving cornfields. I land on a roof with an AK, figure dude's toast. Wrong! Motherfucker hits the turbo button and all of the sudden he's running a 5 second 100m dash.

Later on, our entire squad getting headfucked with a crossbow repeatedly from >400m. P sure we all had at least 2 stuck in our heads at the end of that game

I would honestly say to just go for it. Got a big rear end mousepad (approx. 18x18 inch)? If the answer is yes, then maybe you have to change your seating position. I have my arm positioned so my elbow is just off the edge of the table while the rest of my forearm is just resting on the table. You might have to raise or lower your chair so the position is neutral when you just lay your arm on the table. Try not to have your arms too far away to the side from you body and also try to have them more or less equidistant from your body so you are not sitting crooked. This could mean that your keyboard is slightly in the way if you have a huge one. If that is the case you can tilt it a bit like this https://i.imgur.com/ljmAkkR.jpg (don't pay any attention to this guys tiny mousepad).

Also remember there is no one true best sensitivity so you might end up being comfortable with a slightly higher or lower sensitivity than a baseline of for example 50 in game, 6/11 windows, 400dpi. I'd say play a few games with a sense and adjust according to what feels comfortable to you. Don't be afraid of playing around with it slightly. Muscle memory is not that big of a factor in my opinion and especially not in a game like this where your fps isn't constant.
It's a trade off of slightly more cumbersome looting for more accuracy and you have to find the right balance for you.

I’m currently at 40 with 45 on the aim settings. I plan on lowering it gradually, but I just couldn’t aim at all with 30. You would think I was playing with a controller.

I’ve got about a 12x8” area for my mouse. I’ve got a desk that still has a keyboard tray. When I get a new desk it will be much different, but that’s not in the cards any time soon. Vertical isn’t really a problem unless I have to aim straight up immediately.

I’ve also got whatever the max DPI is on an MX518 just because I try to keep it roughly the same sensitivity between my home and work PCs. I could crank it down, but my understanding is that there’s no practical difference between high dpi or low dpi as long as the sensitivity is adjusted so they both require the same amount of movement.

Max DPI on the MX518 is 1600 or 1800 depending on the model.

I think I use about 40-45/400dpi and it's def on the low end of what people use, but I also murder the gently caress out of people every game so it works. It's not until i get into the top 2-3000 on the leaderboards that I start occasionally running into people who are out aiming me. When I was learning arm aiming, I started with a sens maybe 25% higher before finally dropping down to there because the precision I gained in fights was completely worth it.

Yea low sens + giant mouse pad is by far the way to go. Like when I switched years ago, it made me much more reliable at CS after I got used to it. Like my RWS on ESEA went up 30% after switching and getting used to it.

I feel that its even more important for PUBG because at really lnog distances, you want the ability to adjust by individual pixels. It also makes getting headshots easier and its easier to track moving targets and not under/over aim them.

If your mouse pad doesn't measure 4 ft by 2 ft, just stop playing.

I can tell you from personal experience that if you EVER, at any point, have a controller plugged into your PC while you start PUBG, it will irreversibly display the controller control prompts from then on. Which is loving irritating.
