I think this is the best thing I've seen happen in 200-something hours of this game:

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.

Replays that follow the bounces of a frag grenade gone wrong are by far my favorite replays.

anyone who says this has 0 critical thinking skills and you should ignore them

E:


The compensator and flash hider are straight up far better because of the recoil reduction. Silencers get less bad the further range your gun is, the only situation they are best in slot is on a bolt action sniper, where recoil reduction is irelevent.

The advantage of a supressor is that it reduces the range enemies can hear you, but the sound still travels a long way with one. Meaning, you are only going to get anything out of the silencer at longer ranges. At these ranges, you are going to have a tough time hitting someone, and as soon as the bullet lands, they are going to scramble, which makes it even harder to hit them, let alone down/kill them. With a little bit of experience, you can easily figure out the direction someone is shooting from, meaning they will know where you are, completely negating any advantage of the supressor. The lack of recoil reduction also means that you have to spend more time adjusting between shots, which means more time fighting, more time tunnel visioned on something far away, more time for someone close to sneak up and catch you off guard. Long range fighting is bad in general.

Close - medium range, where they can hear you anyway, the recoil reduction of the other two is far more important than far away enemies hearing you. If you get in a close range fight, its very likely the enemy won't have a supressor and everyone in range is going to hear gunshots from them anyway. At these ranges, fights are all about bursting down your enemy before they duck back into cover, and the supressor doesn't help with that at all.

The only time supressors have any sort of advantage is in scenarios where you typically don't want to be fighting anyway, they just aren't good in a game with realistic-ish balistics and arcadey health mechanics.

Very underappreciated aspect of suppressors is that they totally 100% hide your muzzle flash. This easily buys you extra critical moments if you're the one initiating an engagement. Once the enemy knows where you are you should switch over to a compensator if you have one.

I hit the shot of my PUBG life last night in a duos match, and then got to the end game 1v1 and fuckin' blew it. Woulda been a 7 kill and 4 kill duos win, instead it was a 6 kill and 4 kill duos 2nd place and I legit whiffed 30 bullets on a guy (I got him down to a sliver of health), he healed up behind a tree, and murdered me.

I went to bed sad and hungry.

Will post the kill later.

Spotted a nearby air drop today, in the water, and no one else was around to jetski out to it. AWM and L3 helmet. Spent the rest of the round looking for a scope. Got my only 2 kills using the SCAR while assaulting&defending a building.
That got me the 4X I needed, then got pinned behind a tree. I got to fire the AWM *once*, a near miss, then I got headshot.

Would be nice to get a kill with that gun once. Does it ever drop with a scope?

In my 150 hours of playing I've only nabbed an AWP once. I heard a guy sneaking up on me later that round and 180 quick-scoped him in the gut. One of my most rewarding PUBG moments to date.

Suppressors are choice because they conceal you from all the goblins coming to murk you who were summoned by the sounds of a firefight.

Actually entirely dependent on the situation and your ability to gauge whether it's worth it or not in the heat of the moment. Definitely not a bad thing to consider if your situational awareness is good and you're comfortable with swapping attachments on the fly quickly.

I got an AR silencer early match last night, blindsided a few guys and killed them. First guy I killed had another AR silencer :v:
Got to 11 left, then lost an engagement because A: i couldn't secure the kill at medium range with the red dot and silencer, and B: thought i didn't have time to reload when pushing the guy. I totally did and not having a full clip lost me the fight.

What is the new Nvidia postprocessing feature?

Also, are you talking about the shadows being clearer? Not that it doesn't give you an advantage but that's been literally a function of some monitors and you could always adjust the gamma curve to make shadows brighter in Nvidia's control panel.

Uh... Kupo?

These maps are too big.

I don't particularly enjoy having about 4 minutes of gunshoots then 30 minutes of sprinting/hiding/camping then 2 minutes of gunshoots, interspersed with sniper rifles missing from 500m away. Even if I'm at the center of the circle at the most obvious fighty spot actively looking for people, everyone just sneaks around with snipers at the edge of the circle anyways until they're FORCED to get there and still snipe at one another.

I thought about solutions to this problem that will never get implemented.

1) What if there was no white circle, and it was only revealed when the blue circle began converging in the center? This would deter nerds from just waiting along the white's edge until the blue converges in.

2) The red zone should be able to hurt people inside buildings.

3) Sniper rifles that aren't the mini have either BF1 glare or they reveal a red dot on the minimap.

How is it against my interests?

I don't give a gently caress what my character looks like, half the time I'm running around in my underpants anyways. How does Bluehole making more money harm me? It actually helps me in a slight way. I play the game, get BP, trade BP for crates, then sell crates to pay for other games. I've paid off the cost of the game itself, a Steam Link, and a few other games entirely by badly pretending to be a bush.
