People keep saying this, but the number of actual John Wicks is extremely low. Even the number of people who reflex build more than 1 story is extremely low, especially since cross platform became standard. 3-4 wall and stairs is nothing special.

I can't remember the last time I felt so accomplished in a game than the time I shot out the bottom level of someone's massive tower and they fell to their death. Didn't get the kill, which sucks, but it was still rad.

IT tooke them 20 days to solve my vbucks problem. Giving them money now is a gamble for how saturated is their service. They are making money so fast (120 million dollars/month, number pulled from my rear end) that they have problems counting it.

I genuinely have been surprising myself recently with how quickly I can throw up a 3 floor, 2 wide, fully surrounded structures if I have the materials. This coming after about 50 hrs of consistent play. My new poo poo is getting good at edits on the fly and window sniping or making "missile silos" in splode mode

I'm probably really annoying to play against when I'm trying to win lol

PS4. Why? I dropped money on the Battle Royale on my cousin account so he can play with a skin of his preference. They ended adding the vbucks.

I think the building is a lot of fun but people who are capable of erecting a fortress in two seconds flat after I ding them at range annoy me. Especially when building a simple pillbox is annoying and finicky for me.

If they are doing that mid game it is to their detriment, just avoid that fight and have them come down from their castle. People like that waste materials early on and run out of them when they need it.

I am mostly building one story 4 wall 1 ceiling structures lately that are connected with doors. It really fucks with people especially when you have traps.

Building is a core mechanic of this game, and is cool and good, and at high level enables pretty cool build offs to gain the high ground and outsmart your enemies.

so how do you avoid getting just randomly oneshot in BR out of seemingly loving nowhere? do you just have to kind of accept that as part of the game? because it's the most unfun poo poo of all time and i hate it.

it's almost enough to straight up ruin the game for me and send me back to PUBG, because at least in that, a) it's basically expected that the first person to start shooting wins a gunfight immediately unless that person is a really bad shot and b) I still get something out of runs where I do okayish for 5 minutes and then randomly get owned.

what gun are you dying to? are you always running around at 100hp and no shields? it's definitely not part of the game, the 1 shots we have here are shotguns (you'll hear their footsteps) and snipers (unless you played against a flurry of literal gods this is unlikely)

if you dont have shields, the first thing you need to do is play like a huge wimp until you get shields.

this is probably the key, and yeah, it's 100% always snipers. it's never super early, it's always around ~30 people leftish.

Zig zag a bit at all times when running between places. And jump frequently (but not too frequently).

Running in a straight line will allow even the worst players to consistently hit you.

It's one of the first skins to be actually unique.

Ignoring the fact that 20% of the playerbase will have the same skin.

I got mine finally last night dropping shifty. A guy chased me because I had no gun, I threw one up on the ceiling around a corner and kept running, and boom. Trap kill. For a lovely player with 99 total games like me, that was a big deal.

:stoked:

I need to figure out how to get my PS4 share videos on YouTube, I've got a great one where I did roughly the same thing but at a building; I threw up some walls and a single floor, dropped the trap on it but it was still setting up as the guy ran over it, so I whacked him a few times with my pickaxe to get him to back into it. Lucky he was trash with the AR, but drat did I feel badass.

Just link your account. That alone is enough to start uploading.

I use the SHAREFactory app that come with the console to edit the video. Mostly trim the boring parts to make has small video has possible.
Getting used to SHAREFactory is a good investment of your time, probably.

Hm, I'll have to look into making sure I linked it. I definitely have the YouTube option once I press the 'share' button, and I've used the PS4 video editing software, which I agree with you, is actually pretty sweet.

I've gotten the video trimmed down, then hit the Upload button or Send or whatever it's called, watch the upload notification pop up with a progress bar, it completes, and then... nada in my YouTube account. I never thought to check my account link settings though, wonder if I wonked something up there. Thanks for the tip!

I have only like 3 videos, but one is kinda cool where I grenaded myself into the air and pump'd somebody on the downward fall. I was like "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO" after that, haha
