Play first person, it's much better.

Switch over to First Person Perspective (FPP) mode. It takes a little getting used to if you're already used to third person but there are way less hackers. Seems like almost none to me but your experience may vary. In my opinion it's a more fun and fair mode too because you don't die to people periscoping around from a position you can't possibly see them in no matter what you do.

I tried FPP but it's a bit disorienting for some reason. I have that issue with no other games so I don't know why this one fucks me up. Think I should give it another go. I want to play and like this game but the cheating is just so unbelievably rampant.

So uh, Kar folks aren't kidding. I thought you couldn't one shot anyone wearing a level 3 helmet unless you had an awg or something but I got 1 hit during fpp solos by a Kar. I tagged the guy at least twice in the dome with a mini 14 and he didn't die.  thems the breaks I guess

They upped the damage though so it basically all-but kills you so even a sliver of damage and you deeead

I had the mistaken impression that it had to go through all the helmet damage before it would take you out. The helmet was completely undamaged. But I was clearly mistaken. Sucks. Dropped primorsk and had already mashed a couple potatoes and had some good rear end gear and great circle position.

Helmet condition doesn't matter at all. Either it's there and its absorbing damage or its not. The mini-14 is just shy, like 1 HP shy, of a 2 hit kill on a level 3 helmet.

Well poo poo, he only had a level 2 so one of the splatters must not have been a headshot even though it appeared to be on my end.

Dropped eastern islands, got some decent gear. Could've used more boosts. Get a crate in the water on the way to the mainland, sweet. M24 with an 8x. Get on the mainland, dead in 5 seconds flat. Dude had been tracking me since i got the loving crate. Crate guns are a curse.

The game's clearly been designed with TPP in mind, so FPP feels kind of awkward at first compared to any other shooter. You'll get used to it after a few games, though.

SA TPP Duo has been filled with Chinese players lately. I don't mind them because most of them are not hackers and it's cool to have more people playing at atypical SA hours, but the amount of cheaters in general, regardless of their origin has gone up like crazy. There's no FPP Duo in SA so my duo partner asks me to play TPP with him. My FPP-Only friend queues as a 2-man Squad FPP in SA with me and it's about the same, a lot of cheaters all around. FPP NA seems to be the smoothest in that regard, I could deal with a bit less latency but eh whatever. Dangerllama posted:How on earth are you guys able to tell so quickly where the fire is coming from? I’m usually flailing around like I am the chicken dinner. I can't do stuff like some streamers do which is sitting around in an open field while a bunch people shoot at you, dodge them, pinpoint them and kill them. What I do is follow routes where I know the only possible sources of incoming fire and pay attention to them. According to pubg.op.gg my average rank right now is #7.7 doing just that, with a lot of my early deaths being exploring the new map trying to figure out which routes are best in it. Also the tip that every high-ranked player here gives, whenever you hear a shootout that's not targeted at you, you can move your camera around to triangulate where it's coming from, and then use that information to find the person in the shootout closest to you, the person farthest from you, and take the terrain in consideration to beware other potential hunters. There are multiple possible outcomes to this scenario but you basically have a huge advantage if you know that the way you're coming from is clear, you have a statistical maphack of sorts in your brain and you use it to kill the people you know the position while being aware of other players trying to do the same.

I think this is the best thing I've seen happen in 200-something hours of this game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTEV6jyPGhM I was on the defending team and we spent a minute or two trying to figure out who to congratulate for the kills before we realized what happened. Of course, we then went on to win the round.

It has 100% been the plan to introduce MTX since the beginning, not just because PUBG happened to be very successful, and is most likely in some contract somewhere as a requirement anyways. MTX isn't inherently a bad thing either, e.g. Path of Exile has a great model in my opinion and is probably the only reason why that game is as good at it is and is still around.

If they want the game to last 10 years, they're also going to need to put some of that mountain of money to knocking out the jank and the hacks. Otherwise, if it's truly a "this game could be popular for ten years!" type market, then someone else will swoop in and make a slightly-less-lovely battle royale game and the cycle will continue. Hell, if it's a 10 year market, you'd probably get a AAA dev or two in the mix.
