What's ya'lls favourite cars when going for road kill games? I noticed the blue dacia guy seemed to be mvp in one of the vids posted earlier but he might just be good.

Those concrete buildings on Mirimar are definitely great, dropped on them 3 times last night and the worst gear I came out with was level 2 vest/helm and a vector

I would like to amend my previous posts about matchmaking not working. I now believe that matchmaking does work at some level, but it means players like me who hover around the top 10% will get matched with players in the top 1%. This unfortunate because the difference in skill level going from top 10% to top 1% is such a huge gap. I'd argue the skill gap between at top 50% player and a top 10% players is smaller compared to the gap between 10% and 1%.

Unfortunately, the only cure for this is to force the top players to wait in long queues.

You can actually wallhack legally if you have a dead teammate and another teammate that's hanging really far away from the rest of the team. The dead player switches back and forth between the lone player and the others, and every time they do the game has to reload a ton of assets.

Since this game is terrible it'll display enemy players before buildings have loaded in.



Another use for a dead person is fire coordination. If teammate 1 can see someone you can walk your other teammates onto their position.

I die a lot so I've gotten pretty good at it.

I thought about it but it'd be OP as gently caress since you could use it to quickly show your teammates where the enemy is. It'd also help you measure distances really easily.

Yeah, gently caress that. Same goes for distance indications for pins.

Also, here's how matchmaking works: there are two pools, one for the top 80% and one for the bottom 20.

As frustrating as it is I really like how hard it is to efficiently communicate where the enemy is without any of the standard gaming tools. More variety in houses and landscape would help a lot though. There is a lack of distinct landmarks to refer to.

We usually prefer the UAZ, followed by the Dacia. The buggy works in a pinch but the tires get blown out too easily. For me, I also really like the two seater bike since it's fast and hard for people to get a good bead on if you have the element of surprise.

I will admit I have a number of roadkills with the three seater. It's fast and that sidecar will take people out like bad Chinese food.

is there some sort of known bug where you can hit people with the sidecart motorcycle and send them into space? cause some guy chased me down while i was driving a dacia and sent me very high into the sky. somehow the landing didnt kill me

The UAZ tends to skid too easily in my opinion. The bridge runs from the military base are very difficult because of this. The buggy can hug hills and curves like nothing else. The low ground clearance also gives extra stealth where the UAZ is easy to spot. I also like the protection that the rear seat provides for the driver when fleeing automatic weapons fire.

there's a lot of preference involved, and it's important to have a balanced party loadout, but roughly in descending order of usefulness:

BUGGY: glass cannon. best handling in the game by far. you can handle almost all hills, dodge obstacles with ease, adjust your intercept course, and recover from nearly invisible 6 inch high walls that will deadlock a dacia. amazing turning radius. decent speed. very little protection, low vehicle HP. biggest issue: easiest tires to shoot out, which will put a damper on the multikill you thought you had lined up

SOFT-TOP JEEP: well-rounded warrior. faster than the other jeeps (seriously), maxes out at around 106 on flat land without boosting. decent protection, good vehicle HP, handling is better than a dacia or the other jeeps. great acceleration. tires are decently protected, but skilled enemies can still take them out. OK offroad performance, but easily flippable by either conflict or terrain. bring friends that can nudge you upright in a pinch.

2BIKE: assassin. fastest vehicle. has the added minigame of air control, which means a competent 2biker is technically the strongest offroad class. hard for enemies to track and unload on in full auto, which is a huge survivability boost early game. you'll usually be going so fast that hitting a bad boy is instant death, aka "kick that poo poo under the fridge". almost impossible to shoot out tires. a must-have for vehicle-to-vehicle combat - if you master the techniques, you can send an enemy dacia flying 50m into the air. low HP. turning is tricky, though you can get used to it. if you hit an invisible Map Mistake and you're not both lucky and a 300apm air control player, you're gonna be asking your friends embarrassedly if anyone has a first aid

DACIA: bard. she gets fast, she has solid HP, and the tiny tires are buried inside the solid romanian chassis, but good luck if you didn't nail your target on the first attack run. worst vehicle for road combat in cities or other obstacle-rich environments, also worst vehicle offroad. you can flip it just by turning wrong. speaking of turning, the turning radius doesn't make sense and appears to change from minute to minute. for all of the problems, we still somehow keep making incredible plays in dacias so i can never stay too mad at them

3BIKE: spellcaster. second fastest vehicle. much better hitbox than the 2bike. evidently it's getting fixed at some point but currently you can cast Ground Pound by switching seats while airborne, so feel free to take the craziest possible jumps you can find. you can still use it for effective vehicle-to-vehicle combat/erangel space program, though it's harder. turning is...asymmetrical. turning radius is horrific (on both sides). very low HP - it might be the same as 2bike? but it feels lower, probably because you're more likely to take damage with it. by far most likely vehicle to get you killed in a single-car accident. best use case: taking you and your friends to find different cars, though

HARD-TOP JEEP: tank. very slow, turning isn't the best, but highest HP and most protective surfaces. not great early game against highly mobile players hiding and dodging, but these are excellent for endgame where squads are more likely to unload on you full-auto than duck inside a house

ROLL-BAR JEEP: peasant. same as hard-top but without the HP and protection bonuses. spare car/meat shield

SOME REALLY TEDIOUS DUMB SHIT THAT SUCKS ASS TO READ ->>
Shooting people out of vehicles is one of my two strengths in this game (the other is shooting people to death after they start shooting at me because I literally can't spot anyone any other way). Dacias are so easy to kill people in.

Getting killed by a Dacia feels loving terrible because you see the grinning chucklefuck coming at you at 15km/h as he slowly turns his stupid loving steering wheel. Then he spends a full minute repositioning so he can reverse over you to finish you.

You are doing yourself a disservice by playing passively. You will rank up, sure, but your skills aren't actually improving. So you'll get to a point where you are playing with skilled players but your skills are lacking.

Land in populated areas. Take fights. Run towards gunfire/airdrops. Basically want to get as much practice shooting as you can. You'll die more, but your skills will be improving.
