Sks and mini are considered bad guns?

The SKS and Mini are okay at medium range and pretty bad at everything else. They're pretty pointless if you can find a decent AR.

Did they add wind?

First game since patch, I was aiming for Pecado highrise and my chute pulled hard east. It was either a control glitch or wind.

This happens to me a lot. It's always near the ground and usually if I've been going for distance.

I'd be down with them adding wind and MOA. Makes sniping a bit harder, and also cuts into what makes the 5.56 ARs so dominant.

Honestly, I'd like to see less AR availability in general. Mix it up with some of the more unusual weapon types instead of all loadouts being AR + long/short range backup.

nah ARs are so important for winning. If you don't have a sniper or a rifle going into the final circles you're boned unless there is some seriously advantageous terrain or the enemy is very bad. Especially on Miramar the way they generate circles. I don't want a game coming down to whether or not I found an scarce AR or managed to kill someone that had one. They'd have to do some serious tinkering with the mechanics of the weapons, as it stands there are clear cut "early game" only weapons.

the cars boys had another excellent season. rkpg is getting weird with boathack but we were at least the top two most prolific roadkillers (imo it's a bug that boat kills are counted as "Road Kills". cmon)



Here are some highlights from season 3

going bowling
make sure to drive carefully
cars involves thinking 8 steps ahead
cars will get your blood pumping
don't say your n-words before they hatch
why do they get out?
why do they leave their trees?
cmon guys this is not the way to fight
ok stop getting out
extremely why do they get out
why do they do anything?
dying is fine if you're ready for it
do not dishonor the traditional car wrassle
(season highlight imo) i told you the wrassle is sacred

here's a step by step guide because holy poo poo it's loving hilarious

STEP 1: download Virtual Audio Cable and install it

STEP 2: go in VLC (other media players may work if they let you pick the output device and take youtube videos), click the Audio dropdown, set Audio Device to your Virtual Audio Cable input

STEP 3: go to your recording devices in Windows and set VAC's output as your default mic

STEP 4: in VLC, go to file -> open network stream, paste this in, set to repeat

STEP 5: set your mic in PUBG to "Always" instead of "Push to Talk"

STEP 6: make sure all 4 people in the squad have done steps 1-5

STEP 7: get them all in Discord, have them set their actual mics to their default communications device

STEP 8: mute the entire rest of your squad in in-game voice and tell them to do the same so your ears aren't being constantly murdered with AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

congrats, you're now rolling 4 deep with noisy boys

also the FG42 would be a cool 7.62 gun, seeing as it was the same caliber as the kar98k

Old military stuff is cool and all, but why didn't they add a combination gun yet?
Say, an old german "drilling" gun, two shotgun barrels and a rifle barrel.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combination_gun

It would be yet another of those early game only guns. It would combine the decent up-close of the double barrel with being a slightly more worthless win94 for medium range engagements.

Normally there's at least two triggers on a drilling. The mode selector could switch between rifle and shotgun.

the Mosin-Nagant is pretty similar to the Kar98 and also 7.62mm so while it wouldn't drastically shake things up I'd play the everloving poo poo out of a game mode featuring those two rifles on a map the size of Military Base island because of how much it'd be like rifle-only matches in the CoD 1 days. More or less a big old Carentan/prison hybrid scenario deathmatch. Maybe my own nostalgia is exaggerating how good this would be but I loved rifle matches 15 years ago and I think it would be pretty cool with 50-100 guys running around instead of 10-20, at least as a flavor of the week type special match

Yeah but at a drop rate of 0.0128% from the Triumph or Raider crates... I guess that calculates to having to open on average 81 crates before getting a turqoise kar98. Having all of 4 of those crates, I'd rather sell the crates for a sure 14€.

Whoever is betting on buying crates until they get the turqoise kar98, will be spending on average 1.64$ per Raider crates, ie at 81 of them a cool 134$. I guess that'd be more economical than buying the currently listed gun for 229,86€.

These prices don't make any sense and the only winner is as usual Valve (and I guess Bluehole get a share, too).

Made the final 3 yesterday, but I got caught with my pants down because my sound is kind of hosed, I have issues hearing people run/walk near me and figuring out where they actually are, far away sounds are fine though, anyway, guy got up behind me while running/jumping like an idiot and smoked me pretty standard poo poo but frustrating.

I made top 10 like 4-5 times last night, that includes 2 drops into highly contested areas so I'm starting to get better, I think, or everyone else was really bad which is definitely a possibility when playing at 12-3am

You're a factor of 100 off. You calculated it as if it's in 1.28% of the crates. It's actually a 1 in 7812 crate skin.

It's WAY WAY WAY better to just sell the crates if you have them, and if there's a particular skin you NEED to have - just buy the thing.

Because I still remember the forever ago times where skinning was just dumb poo poo you could do and edit in paint then play on some server and show off your sweet guns whole play a game without every aspect of it being monetized to hell and back.

gently caress I still remember UT2004 came with a slimmed down version of Maya with tutorials on how to make your own models and skins.

Here's an in-depth guide to understanding human psychology regarding transactions that alter the appearance or presentation of something without typically or intentionally changing its core functionality, also known as "skins":

Humans like to pretty things up.

That's all folks, time to go home. For any further inquiries, ask yourself since you're most likely a human. If that still fails, go read the first chapter of "Influence" by Robert Cialdini and reflect of how many times you've seen people buying things because price = value.

Question: you're in a house with an enemy: you've broken line of sight and there's only one way to get to each other. Do you push or do you wait? If your answer depends on other factors, what are they? Grenades, team mates, health?

For context, I started off assuming that letting them come to me would give me an advantage but the camping isn't working out in my favor. By default I blame myself but I'm dying for insights, comments, and suggestions. The new plan I'm forming is to wait a beat, then push in while prefiring, at least if I die then it isn't preceded by a solid minute of adsing a doorway or stairwell.
