HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE DEAD, MOTHERFUCKER?

Problem is if he has a suppressor you see zero muzzle flash

The final final circle is tiny. If they were actually in the final circle they could run along the outer edge clockwise and find him as a pair. The suppressor wont save him.

If it wasnt the final final circle they should still stand up to take position in the next circle, sweeping that area and then looking out into the blue for the last guy crawling or running in.

If you have numbers you should not be proning waiting someone out.

I've played about 10 games and I've started to get 3-4 kills per match. I got a double kill with a crossbow yesterday from a fairly long distances. This is a fun game to shoot mans.

I have no idea how bullet fall-off works and/or 'setting your scope'. Is there any recommended guide out there?

Does this work any more? The last few times I've been in a small circle, it's stopped at 5m or so, and hasn't contracted past there. Am I just going crazy, or can someone back me up on this?

It makes these standoffs much worse, because I'd way rather be pushed into them than lie down looking through grass for 10 minutes.

If there's one thing PUBG needs it's a shooting gallery you can play offline to test out weapons. If only to save people from having to deal with *click on video guide* HEY IT'S YOUR BOY HERE *rambling for 5 minutes before actually getting into the subject of the video*

I like the firing range in codww2 because it helps me unlearn bad habits I didn't know I had and recognize 2 vs 3 shot kill distances.

What the gently caress did they do to this game. My computer went from running it like a champ at low settings to acting like someone curbstomped it and it has all of its brains on the sidewalk. This update blows. If someone has any idea on how to fix it I am all ears, everywhere else that has a solution is from like a year ago.

Pretty much everyone saw improvement in performance in 1.0. Are you sure there’s not something wrong with your OS or hardware?

I think my favorite thing about playing solo squad (other than how absurdly fun it is) is that you get like 500 + points for getting into the top ten. Just had back to back games in which I went #2 team and #4 by myself and it felt awesome.

There's a new bug that has scared the absolute poo poo out of me a couple of times already. Sometimes when you kill someone their body will continue to make noise as if there was a live player there. I killed a guy who must've been lying prone, because when I went to loot him it sounded like there was someone prone crawling in spot where he died. Nobody there when I checked the replay. Until the dude's ragdoll despawned there was also a endless stream of syringes that kept appearing, dropping, and then rolling down the hill. Maybe he was using a first aid when I killed him and the animation just kept looping without him?

This also happened to me when I was in a car and heard someone walking around a wall. I got out and spent almost three minutes combing the area to see where this person went but when I checked the replay there was nobody there at all, no sound in the replay either but I definitely heard it when playing. I'm gonna try to get it on video next time.

Back when the game first came into early access there was a THUD as the game randomly thought you were being shot (for no damage) that happened a looooooooot of the time. Drove people insane.

I just had a weird bug. Right after I landed and looted a couple things and opened a door, suddenly I couldn’t hit f to interact/loot and nothing was even coming up as being on the ground when I hit tab. I could run around, punch and jump and poo poo, but no interacting. Was pretty frustrating

Not that it was really due to skill on my part so much as it was having lucked into an M24 and everyone else focusing on each other at the end. :v:

It feels very anticlimactic to win solo, since there's nobody to celebrate with.

The best part of replays is seeing all the crazy shenanigans going around you.

* Solo guy who was trigger-happy and shot every bush and tree without discretion, died to an actual guy in his field of view next to him.
* Squad of 3 people who couldn't stop shooting at each other, tossing molotovs and what not. From my PoV some incredible clash between 3 squads was going on in the distance, when I watched the replay it was so weird to see it was just 3 dudes goofing around.
* Solo guy really bored shooting at the air to get some attention and maybe find potential targets got what he wanted in the form of a sniper headshot.
* Someone with a medkit, a lot of first aids and a syringe who really overextended outside one of the final zones, miraculously found a bike along the way, got out of the blue zone and drove all the way to the center of the circle, got riddled with bullets from all sides.

I get this relatively often, probably due to my old af PSU. Sometimes not all objects inside a building will load right away. This includes furniture and most things on the ground.

Waiting usually fixes it. But it sucks when you do a hot drop and there's people running around grabbing up guns before you can.

e: re-reading your post it sounds like poo poo loads but you can't interact. which is even worse imo!

Too lazy to pull up the links since it's late, but watch WackyJacky101's videos on youtube. He has videos on using both the 4x and 8x since the update, as well as analysis on bullet patterns. They're probably the most concise things on the subject. I haven't found any updated images since the last time someone posted about this.

Did I miss a patch note, or is it a bug that 4x scopes can't be zeroed anymore? It feels like just a couple days ago they were working and now.. not so much.

Also, has anyone seen a map that marks out stuff like common vehicle spawns like there was in Erangel? I've found a couple via Google but they all seem to be from early test servers.

There are designated vehicle spawn points, it's just now vehicles don't always spawn facing east and there aren't guaranteed vehicle spawns anywhere.

When circle is small enough you two should just stand up and gently caress poo poo up. No gun shoots simultaneously in two directions.

When 1.0 came out, did they introduce matchmaking in FPP modes? I just checked my career stats for the first time since solo squadding and I'm in the top 20% and it definitely feels a bit harder to crack the top ten now.

It's in the notes. Only iron, 8x and 15x can be zero'ed now.

Concerning learning the bullet drop and how much to lead I think you just have to get a feel for it since you don't really have that much time to think about it most of the time. It's only at very long distances (300+) where I will be zero'ing at all and it's rare that I will take at shot that far anyway. Once in a while it can be very useful though. For general play I don't think you need to worry about it since at distances out to about 200 m you just aim at their head. Keep in mind though that if you are shooting up (seems counter-intuitive) or downhill you have to compensate by shooting lower than you would normally.
For shooting running targets a good rule of thumbs is to lead approx. 1 body width per 100 m out, if they are running perpendicular to your line of fire.

This is really the best and most precise advice available to most players, especially newer players. Whenever you know you outnumber the enemy, just take the drat shootout. Every second you spend not taking the shootout is a second more where you risk being flanked, surprised, grenaded or taken out in a million other ways. If you're 3-4 on 1, rush that dude, just make sure you rush the same route so he can't take you out one by one.
