Seriously though what is the benefit of the Winchester? No attachments makes it hard as heck to use, even with decent iron sights.

New revolver is cool, even if handguns aren’t good.

its a fun gun when you hit shots

its a gimmick / gently caress around gun

Excuse me, but you'll find that all of the shotguns are lategame shotguns when the circle is small enough and in fact do not suck.

The saiga sucks and is intended to be the "late game" shotgun. That's what i was referring to. I'd love to see a m4 super 90 that does as much damage as the pump, can take a sight and choke, and is balanced by the lack of mag and/or high recoil

I would assume alot of people are getting blue zoned because they're either not used to the map or are simply exploring it and finding out where things are/what strategies to use; I wouldn't read too much into it when the map has been available for less than a week. All the loot and vehicle spawn complaints will fade out once people figure out where things spawn.

I kind of like the new map. Loot feels sparser, but my group started dropping at the Hacienda and there has been plenty of poo poo there every time.

I've been having good luck at the lucha arena. Had some bad luck with loot initially at the power plant, but I ended up killing the other three people that landed there with an AK with only one mag, so I guess it worked out!

New map, it seems really important to get a vehicle early and to stay well ahead of the circle. Going offroad seems like a huge death trap. So far I have died to cliffs 3 of 3 times that I have tried to offroad out of desperation.

I used to love the vector until i realized the ump did significantly more damage per shot and switched and never went back.

The Vektor does massively more DPS man. I always pick up the Vektor and never the UMP.

E: DPS of non-box guns:
Vector 563
AKM 480
M416 476
UZI 479
Scar-L 427
Tommy Gun 441

The thing is, the jump is way more controllable/has better spread.
The strict DPS of the uzi puts it above the UMP, but the UMP is far better than the uzi.

I do like the Vector though.

Uzi is king of face clearing but the UMP also does its work hip shooting. I liked taking the Vector when it first came out but when they nerfed the damage and made the recoil higher it became harder to choose. Plus you can use the UMP straight out of the box without an issue whereas the Vector at a minimum you need that extended mag and probably also the grip/stock so you can get your shots on target.

This whole argument is moot anyway, because the Tommy Gun is the best SMG by virtue of being the coolest.

I played like 20 matches yesterday and I regularly ran into other players, found plenty of loot and didn't notice any difference in last circles in this vs the other map :shrug:

My favorite thing about the map is just that it feels more like a real world and less like a bunch of copying and pasting. I'm definitely in the minority but atmosphere is really important to me, even in games like this.

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one to Flavortown, and that has made all the difference.


The crossbow is cool and good in the late game. Lately I’ve been forgoing a sniper and using m416 plus crossbow. I suck with snipers so my mid game is mostly hiding and trying to sneak up on people. Crossbow is amazing when the circle starts to tighten up.

Crossbow could stand being a different color and/or smaller though. Of all the equipment it sticks up higher than everything else.

One thing I've noticed is basically every hill on the horizon now has l2 helmet shaped rocks on the summit to gently caress with people. The sightlines for most of the pissant town buildings are also absolutely awful compared to the first map.

Yeah, definitely went from about 40-50 FPS to 50-70, although I need to reinstall reshaped because my current installation was causing crashing 100% of the time.

Everybody is crashing all the time. One of the dudes in the group I play with will crash in the lobby every time if the lobby is fresh and the timer hasn't started yet. Hell, Viss crashed like 6 times the other day.

I'm not even sure what point you were trying to make because every shooter ever is the player trying to aim at a set of pixels on the screen. It is in fact a dumb thing to say.
