Pecado is the best thing that's happened to this game since the addition of the groza.

But I hate the fact that the new 8x resets your zoom if you switch guns. It's dumb and stupid.

When you hear a crack, it sounds 90 degrees to the plane the that the bullets are on. When you see the bullets hit the trees and ground, you can tell which direction they are in. With both of those, you can figure out roughly +-10 degrees where he is. If you cant hear the gunshots over the crack, it means they are very close, this is true for both supressed and unsupressed.

Its easier with practice, and if you have headphones with a wide soundstage. Headphones that gamers would describe as good for soundwhoring, i wish I had a better word to describe it.


90 degrees relative to what?

If a bullet misses you, you'll likely hear the crack of the bullet passing you. The noise comes in front of you, behind, or one of your sides. Say it's to your right, so you know the trajectory of the bullet is 90 degrees: either coming from in front of you or behind you.

I'll try thinking about it next time I'm playing, but I don't think I pay much attention to the supersonic cracks, besides them alerting me that I'm being shot at. I'm more listening to the gun rapport. If I can't hear the gun rapport whether suppressed or not they will be far enough away that me making evasive maneuvers will be enough to not get hit. Also it helps to be aware of your surroundings and positions where enemies could be shooting you from at any given time. This can narrow your "search" down of only a few directions most of the time.

What is considered "High ELO" in this game? Is it based off the ingame leaderboard or some 3rd party (NA FPP)?

The matchmaking in this game is incredibly loose to allow for instant queues and I can't tell the difference between day 1 of the season and one month in. I play almost exclusively duos/squads fpp on NA and stay in top 1000 most of the season. There's no such thing as high ELO games in PUBG matchmaking currently.

Nothing's wrong. Nothing is wrong. Everything is on track.
Some guy schooled me last night in the closing round, he was outfitted in the ful sniper ‘oh what me no I’m just a bush’ sniper getup, and I had NO idea where he was. Never saw that outfit before (which isn’t surprising as I’ve had the game like 2 weeks).. nor, one could argue, did I see that outfit during. Ahh well.

Also, I’m an old guy who is happy anytime I crack the top 10, despite it being a loss. :corsair:

The 90s pretty much exclusively favored lower pings. Your gun would not physically register hits or not even fire until the server said you could. The high ping advantages are new and baffling to me.

There were plenty of games back in ye olden times that either smoothed things out by waiting for the slowest client (basically given the lagger the appearance of less lag on their end because their client was the closest thing visually to what was happening) or they just straight up made everything clientside with no sanity checking, a la the first Planetside where you could unplug your internet, shoot a bunch of people while disconnected, reconnect and all those shots would register regardless of where the players had actually been at that time.

if you manage to take out a team or two of loot goblins you can probably manage it. My main problem is that if you have a silencer its annoying when your team mate without one stands right next to you and starts shooting at dudes who haven't yet figured out where you are. Thanks dude.

The AK is fantastic if you just full auto spray someone at 100 meters and get your headshots. Of course it's much more likely to deal zero damage.

Academically, I see why the 5.56 rifles are superior in most situations, especially when the western rifles benefit more from attachments and their superior range / control. Despite that, I have hella good luck with the AKM and a lot of my 5+ kill games has been with Izhmash's finest. Dunno if I'm benefiting from my play style or if it's just confirmation bias.

They should add an AK-15. A nice, modern 7.62 with proper rails and desert digicam paint.

The AK is exceptionally good if you hit all of your shots and get a headshot in there. It's just an exceptionally unreliable gun outside of 5 meters.

No better than other ars and it's loud and has the worst bullet velocity of the lot. It'll do in a pinch but drop it as soon as you can unless...I dunno...you don't want to drop your 7.62.

every gun is pinpoint accurate in this game, its the recoil that varies a lot. it's nothing like cs where your cursor will be at their feet but you'll be getting headshots.
