Also the blue circle will move you so fast at times that you will take damage from colliding into buildings and trees. I want the speed to ramp up as time goes by and for you to take crush damage. But if you're stacked on energy drinks and bandage you can keep getting speed behind a box or a car and when you jump you get a huge slingshot effect that throws you at insanely high speeds and then you die when you collide with a tree.

My friends and I played a game yesterday that featured the luckiest circles I've ever had. We started in Yasnaya and the first circle was around Mylta/Prison, so Yasnaya was just about out. We got in a car and drove to the tiny compound with a blue house and a shed located just north-east of the big blue warehouse near Prison, and took up residence there. It's quite an easy place to hold, both in first and third person (this was FPP). It's got walls in appropriate heights on all four sides but with spaces to shoot out, and it has relatively clear view of incoming enemies from every angle. So, we holed up there about 8-10 minutes into the round, expecting to be able to camp out there for a circle or two. 20 minutes later, I take one step out of the compound for the first time since entering, to shoot the last guy trying to approach our tiny fortress of death. In those 20 minutes I got 10 kills off people trying to get in/near, and infinite supplies off those guys. We were short a proper sniper rifler, but at one point, the plane dropped a crate with an M24 inside the walls of the compound, where it snuggly fit between the wall and the solitary little house. I was embarrassed to win that round, to be honest.

If you have a level 2 helmet and someone pegging you once with an m16 from 300m away puts you down to almost no health it's a safe bet that you've experienced the bug.

OK, I really suck at this game. I've played around 30 or 40 rounds now and I think I've fired a bullet in about 3 of them. I either land somewhere alone, spend 20mins getting kitted out and running from town to town only to eat poo poo from some dude just chilling in a house or I jump in to a hot zone and run around with no gear cause people beat me into the houses and eat poo poo that way.

We decided to play the role of predator, we'd just drop at the hottest zones and then actively hunt out other duos by following the sounds of gunshots. We went from regularly losing in the first five minutes, to easily dominating hot spots like school, mylta, primorsk. It felt so satisfying. Specifically this post You can't get unlucky on guns every single drop. It probably has more to do with your decision-making when dropping.

Ehud posted:Does anyone have good tips on playing in 4 man squads? I'm looking especially for tips and tactics on fire fights. Me and my people always find ourselves on the wrong side of our encounters with other squads. Try not to engage enemies until the majority of your squad has eyes and shots on them. If you can drop 1-2 guys with the opening barrage, you should win most engagements. That is assuming you get the drop on them. If the reverse is the case, there isn't a whole lot you can do other than shoot the mans first. Having one or two guys flank while the rest put down covering fire can be effective but is risky if they get downed in the process. I usually try to flank in these situations and it's a mixed bag. Sometimes I'll completely surprise the enemy team and get easy pot shots, other times I get picked and die alone. Works better in FPP.

If you are mostly playing solo don't bother dropping in quiet areas to spend 20+ mins looting until you are good at the shooting part of the game. Keep dropping military or outside Pochinki or somewhere else medium spicy and fight people til you are winning some fights.

Had a solo finish 4th last night with 5 kills. Dropped shooting range and took out two people and then looted. Someone decided to wander over to shooting range a few minutes later and he died. My other two kills felt pretty good. They were both instances where they started shooting at me first, I found them quickly, and ended them. The final circle was basically a mad rush of 5 people to the same spot once the blue started moving and I died with the match ending like 5 seconds later  I just want some chicken. I can kill people, I'm just particularly bad at real long distances (the 4x scope is my nemesis) and I never seem to be in that great of position for the final circle. Oh well, game is still fun.

I'm bad but -In an empty city you can spread out while looting -The more people that landed near you, loot closer. Think adjacent buildings, or travel from building to building together -The more likely it is that enemies are nearby, the closer you should be travelling. If you're spread out and someone gets downed, he's dead. If you're together, they can't finish him and you can get him up -Speak up and share mods/ammo during the in-between moments. Especially first aid -When someone gets shot at, drop what you're doing and rush to help them, even if it's 60s into the drop and all you have is a pistol -The more information you share amongst each other, the better off everyone will be -It helps to have someone providing instructions. We're going to travel this way, we are/aren't taking that vehicle, we're done looting now, etc. 4 people milling around with nobody making a decision will get you ambushed -Like the other guy said, try not to open fire on distant targets until at least two of you have eyes -Finish off targets quickly where available, so they don't get rezzed

Yes, medium spice is probably the right thing to do. Something relatively contained that'll regularly have 3-6 people dropping, like mylta power substation, shooting range, sev, or roz e- I've found stalber to be a good bet and almost always underpopulated for the loot it has. Bigger towns like georgopol are also good if they're 1-2km off the flight path.

The Wonder Weapon posted:I'm bad but -take a sec to remember voices at the start because every goon shouts "I'm taking fire, oh god help me" rather than talking 3rd person -bind map to a really convenient key (I use a mouse button + hold) and zoom into the city you land on every drop. when you see a guy, if he's not next to you and you aren't taking fire just quickly stick a marker on the building and say what floor/roof. you get real fast with practice, about the same speed as calling it out and describing the location -when moving to flank or close, force different sight lines. being close to your squad is important but getting a different angle on the enemy is moreso, plus it forces them to aim/watch different places. -when clearing room you know there's a guy in, the front guy needs to keep moving and get as far into the room as possible to make room for the others. stopping in the doorway to check corners gets you killed and blocks your support. first guy is likely to go down but your bud right behind should take them out before they can finish -if you're 3rd person and you're on a flank, defender has advantage so wait for them to look away and open up on your buds before going in. gunfire masks your approach -land at the edge of a city and loot in a wave all moving in the same direction rather than dropping center and spreading out -when you hear nearby footsteps, STOP MOVING and wait for squad backup rather than hunting like rambo because you might win but you might instead get to spectate for 20 mins -pay attention to the blue, know when you need to leave and cut off your loot goblin (there's one in every group) Bhodi fucked around with this message at 16:10 on Oct 24, 2017 |

Follow up to the finishing people quickly. If they are getting close to cover, finish them. If they’re far from cover a teammate may run out to a spot they think is safe to revive them. Then you shoot the teammate. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does it makes a big difference.

Play squad games with the discord goons, you'll have people to watch your back, give you intel, pick you back up when you get shot in the face, and when you die you'll get the opportunity to watch how better players are able to murder dudes(or you'll get to watch the rest of your team get picked apart by cheaters or better placed squads who shoot straighter). Ehud posted:Does anyone have good tips on playing in 4 man squads? I'm looking especially for tips and tactics on fire fights. Me and my people always find ourselves on the wrong side of our encounters with other squads. Know when to disengage, either because The Blue is coming in or because you stand to lose more than you gain from sticking around, like if you're in a situation where you pick off someone from an enemy squad but aren't in a good enough position to finish off the squad and get some loot out of it because the terrain sucks. I was playing with goons yesterday and someone got so focused on wanting to kill someone off that they basically ignored all warnings about the blue coming in and all the calls to disengage because of it, and lingered long enough to not just get caught in the blue but to get downed by the people he was so focused on, who promptly hopped into their vehicle and went on their merry way into the white, where the rest of us murdered them as they drove in.We died to another squad immediately afterwards When it comes to hot areas, be willing to drop what you're doing and to come help people out when they say that they've got someone in an adjacent building or wherever. You don't always have to push in for a kill, but your squad ends up better placed to kill someone that pushes for a squaddie and just being there to cover a withdrawal generally ups your chances of keeping more of the squad alive for longer. Also, always communicate enemy positions, changes to positions, when you lose someone/last known position. And remember to inform specific squad members that someone might know they're there or pose a threat to them, "bad dude 100m NE of me heading X" is fine, but "bad dude 100m NE of me, heading towards you Z"/"Z, bad dude 50m east of you behind <building>" is better. One of the most important ones is knowing when to hold fire, and another is letting people know where your target is before you start firing. Some people have a terrible habit of just opening fire on every enemy they see, any noise you make basically tells everyone in audible range where you are and if you don't tell your squad what's up then you're going to get your squad killed because you've foolishly alerted the enemy to your position before you alerted your squad to theirs. lohli fucked around with this message at 17:10 on Oct 24, 2017 |

I don't know about everyone else, but I just treat Solos as "spawn and learn how to be good in fights" simulator. If you drive off to a secluded spot every game to not have to deal with "rear end in a top hat campers in buildings", how are you ever gonna get good enough to dominate those types of players? What will you do when the final circle closes on a building and it's just you and one other dude? Solos there's literally nothing to lose, the second you die, you just requeue and get right back into it. People who prioritize chickens dinners over enjoyment just baffle me

Average kills per game is usually around 5. I play aggressive if I know I'm around people, I'd just rather loot for 5 mins before going out. I'd rather not play mid-end game with nothing but an ump and a shotgun and level 1 armour because I wasted my time trying to kill some house campers. Winning is so much more fun to me than dropping school and dying 8/10 times in the first 2 mins. kiwid fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Oct 24, 2017 |

Also Mylta, I aim for the cafe because the front frequently has something good but it’s exposed enough to be dangerous after people have guns. I used to like Gatka, but it’s hard to get out of there. Little cover, almost no vehicle spawns. Duos: Sunken City, Mylta / Mylta Power. Sometimes Yasnaya, but the police station frequently doesn’t have enough loot to be worth it for duos. Squads: I mostly let other people pick. Sometimes Mylta / Power, sometimes West Yasnaya. Yasnaya has a garage tucked away where you wouldn’t see it if you didn’t know where to look, so getting out of there isn’t usually as daunting as it seems. I rarely do school because I don’t want to have to wait the two minutes to get back in game. I’m better mid game than early, so I try to get decently kitted and then go hunting outdoors.
