I didn't think it really helped at close range. Apparently it does. Maybe that's why I'm so poo poo.

Not as rampant but it still happens. I'd say it was more netcode issues. If you saw it from the other guy's screen you were probably out in the open when he pulled the trigger.

Double right click and hold is hold ads and you can still right click to shoulder.

I'm pretty sure new ADS behaviour is something you toggle in the options, so unless you make any changes aiming will work like it always has in operation flashpoint-likes

Does it reduce recoil at all, or just less sway when aiming but not shooting?

To get hold ads to work you need to change the lmb bind from aim/ads to just ads. You can add another bind to just aim, but it can't be the same button.

But really, when would you want to just aim?

I've seen people do it to walk slower and make less noise. Pointless?

Also, immediately after you ask someone has a link with them aiming, which is a funny coincidence.

The new ADS option work great. Unbind the hipfire/ADS button and rebind to just ADS, then set ADS to hold in the options menu.

Works instantly and feels just like it does in every other fps.

I just played third person for the first time in a long while yesterday and aim works great for when you just want to be lazy and leave the 4-8x on your akm. Bound shift + rmb to ADS and it works great for when you actually need the sights for long shots.

Does aiming (not ads, just holding down right click using the default settings) change the bullet spray pattern?

Random question, has Bluehole actually said where Erangel is supposed to be? I haven't noticed any Cyrillic (this could totally be confirmation bias) but there's definitely Turkish graffiti.

Edit: I guess Turkey does have a few islands in the Black Sea, so maybe both?

Maybe through the ini file possibly, not through the menu. I bound ADS to shift + RMB and if I hold shift it will hold breath. I wouldn't bind RMB to both at once since you only get so much breath and sometimes need to hold corners/angles with ADS without holding your breath.

Has there been any testing on how many bullets it takes to blow up a vehicle? Does it matter where you are hitting the vehicle to take it's health down and make it go boom?

# ? Dec 19, 2017 22:58

Veritek83: Jul 7, 2008; The Irish can't drink. What you always have to remember with the Irish is they get mean. Virtually every Irish I've known gets mean when he drinks.

IIRC a UAZ will absorb a full 30 shots from an AKM before exploding, 34 rounds from a 5.56 AR. That may no longer be the case, but I'm pretty sure I saw it tested and it seems about right.

e: I am probably wrong about this

I found this from June:

code:

I did a few tests on all the vehicles in the game with various weapons.

 

Here are the findings:

Vehicle	Health
Jeep	~1820
Dacia	~1820
Buggy	~1540
Motorcycle	~1025
Dirtbike	~1025
Boat	~1520
 

Tires: 93-116 HP

 

Q/A

 

What's the fastest way to take out a jeep?

If you hit every shot, the M249 can take out a jeep in 42 bullets which takes just over 3 seconds. For a more common weapon, the S12K can waste a jeep with 10 shots, which would just under 4 seconds if you have an extended quickdraw mag and do a tactical reload.

 

Wait, the Dacia has same health as a jeep?

Yes.

 

Is there a health difference between the open top vs enclosed jeep?

No.

 

Does shooting a vehicle in an engine do more damage?

No.

 

Are there any weak spots on vehicles?

No, other than tires.

 

Did you try shooting its...

Yes. I even flipped a few over to shoot their underside. Other than tires, there are no weak spots.

 

Do vehicles take damage from being smoking or on fire?

No.

 

Do vehicles take more damage from weapons when they're smoking or on fire?

No.

 

Does doing damage to the tires also do damage to the vehicle?

Yes, both the tire and the vehicle take damage at the same time when you shoot the tires.

 

Can you shoot out the tires of a...?

You can shoot out the tires of all 4 wheel vehicles. As far as I have tested, you cannot shoot out the tires of any other vehicle.

 

Do you do damage to the vehicle if you accidentally shoot it from a backseat?

Yes. Avoid doing this.

Is a tactical reload one where you reload before the magazine is empty? Does that change the speed of the reload? I'm not familiar with this concept.

Correct, most weapons need extra time to chamber the first round, like drawing the slide on a pistol or the first pump of the shotgun. Tactical reloads don't have that extra timer.

Are you guys saying I should be holding shift when firing? I suck rear end at this game and maybe this could make me marginally better.
Also advice on sensitivity, are you guys using low sense on all types of them? What is an acceptable sensitivity, I still use 50 for general but I lowered the targeting one to 40 or something.

Holding your breath (shift) might help somewhat at longer distance targets, but I'm not so sure just how much of an impact it will make at close range engagements.

It's hard to compare overall sensitivity just from the in-game setting alone. The other main factor is what your mouse DPI is set to. The better and more universal way to quantify sensitivity is cm/360, or how many centimeters you have to move your mouse horizontally before you've turned around 360 degrees. In the case for PUBG, that mainly applies to just the main view without the "aim" or "aim down sights" buttons being used.

I used to play at 5 cm/360, but I'm now at 35 cm/360 instead. I ended up getting a very wide mouse pad and I use my arm a whole lot instead of just my wrist alone.
