I reported a guy on the PUBG forums which was how you were supposed to do it before there was a report button... got a reply a MONTH later saying the guy had been banned. Dude had like a 40KDR or something when I reported him.

They aren't doing poo poo about hackers. These guys should be autobanned at the very least after their 2nd or 3rd game with 35+ kills. It can't be that loving hard to run some simple metrics. Also dude must have had like 100+ reports.

Some of the hacks that exist aren't obvious at first glance or people only toggle them when they feel like they need to. It just isn't always easy to tell.

However not instabanning people who shoot through walls is absolutely inexcusable. Granted sifting through a poo poo load of reports also can't be easy. Millions of people play this game and I guarantee there are people that just mash report every single time they get killed.

A couple months ago I put together a highlights video of some my friends and I playing. It's mostly improbable events: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORWC6U3kj5k

After seeing the newest dearsomeone video, I'm feeling inspired to make more. I'm pretty sure I have better raw material to work with.

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp "Why?"

Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."
This is.. perfect.

Rotten investigator!
New patch is out on test.

quote:

Players, as with the last patch, a new type of anti-cheat solution, which is still under development, is to be applied on the test servers. We are in a test phase with this solution, and its stability and compatibility need to be verified. We would like to collect data about potential compatibility issues, analyze it and solve any issues that may emerge.

If you experience a crash, please take a screenshot that shows the error and report it here.[forums.playbattlegrounds.com] If the current test build is consistently crashing for you, we recommend that you play on the live servers instead. Thank you for your understanding.

Please find the patch notes below:

World
Miramar improvements
Added more buildings and cover across the map to improve the engagement experience
Added more off-road routes for easier vehicle navigation
Upgraded the item spawn level of certain areas for loot balancing (some areas will spawn better loot)

Replay
The replay system has now been updated to a newer version and past replay files cannot be played anymore

Bug fixes
Fixed the issue where heal and boost items could be used underwater
Fixed the issue where characters would get stuck in certain areas on Miramar
Fixed the issue where wall textures on some Miramar buildings were not displaying correctly
Fixed the issue where certain buildings near by Hacienda del Patron were not displaying correctly

Thank you.

What would you say your base minimum items would be for saying "ok, this is enough to fight in the final circles I don't need to look in any more houses"

How many healing items, what tier armor, anything besides a assault rifle.

Are you fine with iron sights or just a red dot? are there any attachment slots your fine leaving empty on certain guns?

I can't give you an in depth reply, but it probably depends on the map. I feel you can get away with more in Erangel cause there's plenty of visual cover (lying down in the grass is insanely good when people are within 200m, you can literally hide in plain sight even against people with scopes). Helps a lot when you're facing people with superior gear in the last few circles.

In Miramar, most of the map is wide open and the only cover comes from terrain (ie, positioning). You could just camp a good spot on a hill even with bad items, but if the circles force you to move you basically need a x4 sight and good armor or you don't stand a chance.

The point where you stop looting should be based on time rather than items and depends on the game, but is generally "well before the third circle" at the latest.

Truly the corgiest of goodposts

AR, sight, vest and helmet. Then look for anyone who landed near to relieve them of their loot. Otherwise keep looting until whatever loot goblin you are playing with thinks it's a good idea to leave and then go.

Yea, it really depends on the map, and how far away you are from the circles starting to form.

My min. would probably be: level 2+ everything, m4/scar with 150+ ammo, 4x on a sniper (preferably a kar98, but a 4x on an m16 has been something I enjoy lately), 3 boosts, 2 kits, 10 bandages. As far as attachments, I'd be fine leaving them empty, but if you didn't find any attachments going into the final circles, you are doing something wrong.

Obviously, these are minimums and not the ideal perfect loot I would like going into the final circle. When you kill people in the final few circles, your loot usually instantly becomes a ton better.

Here's a tip for you. Yes, YOU: Click the button faster when single-firing, no matter if it's with a red dot or a 4x, no matter the distance. You can click the button twice as fast as you're currently doing and still easily manage the recoil.

Omg yes this. I don't actually like using auto fire on the guns that have it. I much prefer clicking each shot. I feel like it gives me more control with the recoil.. Which could be wrong in terms of the recoil... But it's still auto fire speeds, and I can stop and line up again to aim better, rather than just spraying all my bullets at and around someone.

In addition to this: the m16 burst fire is extremely good.

Even if that was the case they could use an account ID code for that while still displaying your Steam username on the UI.

Aren't a shitload of copies sold through not-Steam though? If they don't want name clashes then they have to use their own account name system.

They would have had to think of that. My other guess is something to do with the fact you can change your steam name at any time and it doesn't need to be unique.

i've seen a weird thing a couple times when watching death cams. it'll show my reaction as a second or so slower than it was in the actual fight. most recent was pecado - i started shooting a guy the moment he came into vision around the corner of a building. we were like 15 feet apart and i hit him three times (puffs and all). on the death cam we see each other, it shows me wait a bit, then start shooting same time he does (on my end i opened fire first). only two of my hits register on the cam. it wouldn't have mattered in terms of winning the fight as i didn't have a helmet and i needed a fourth shot to down him but is that a cam thing or a lag thing or what.

If you don't have these things going into the final few circles, you looted wrong, didn't kill anyone, or started at some lovely yellow houses and have been running to other lovely yellow houses for 15 minutes.

Like, maybe one out of every fifteen games I play I don't have that stuff going into the final few circles (when I make it that far).

If you are looting houses till you get that, you're looting too much.
