It's super dumb, but I can't stop myself. This is just kind of how I do things.

Tequila Sunrise is hilariously fun and I'm sad they brought meds into it.

My squad won our second game in it with all of us left alive.

Yep, those shmucks that stand still trying to kill me with a piddly shotgun as I bear down on them with a ton of steel don't stand a chance.

Or I shoot you out of your moving car. I did that in one round and my buddy did it in another.

The best weapon in the shotgun event is a car

Yeah, every round has been me urging my team to fight for vehicle spawns.

I did machete some idiot that couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with a shotgun, also punched some guy to death because he was bad (my teammate also hit him with the shotgun a few times).

It's been pretty fun, I dropped into pecado with my squad and there were probably 40 people that dropped there too, 2 of us didn't have guns but we had a lot of healing so soaked some hits (this is also when I punched some dude to death), I think we killed 10-12 people before I finally died, my teammates were alive for 5+ minutes longer before I left to join another game.

Both of these are correct takes and I pity you stuffy fucks who think this mode sucks.

My squad won our first game by standing on hay bales in the middle of an open field and watching teams fight in the distance like some civil war spectators.

Doesn't the game already force a game version check when you connect? Does that actually do anything?

Yeah, the double barrel will knock most people on the first shot if you shoot them in the face. The event still sucks, though.

I dunno if this is just some really weird confirmation bias but I swear they're running rounds in the event with separate loot tables and it's random which kind of match you get placed into. Some rounds you can find all the normal attachments and some rounds you only see bullet loops, grips, and cheek pads. I've had 2-3 rounds today where I or my team mates were able to find optics, extended ar mags, chokes, etc... and then the rest of the rounds were ones with no usable attachments except for bullet loops for any of us. And the games with attachments weren't clustered around the same time of day. Anyone else?

I keep experiencing the same thing. I think Bluehole needs to rework their loot spawn mechanics to have less of the same stuff spawn in one place. There has to be a better way to make looting feel less aggravating, especially in locations that are not as popular as pecado or sosnovka.

Most games i just run around with no gun rather than wasting time on shotguns and pistols. (which is stupid, but gently caress rational thought)

pistols are fine if you catch someone before they get body armor, shotguns are decent enough provided you're in close, I still prefer the uzi

If I pick up a shotgun I'd rather blow my head off with it than try to kill someone else. It's a pity that isn't a function of the game, it would make bathroom camping way more interesting.

So, I've gotten to a point where I can drop crowded areas and come out on top like 80% of the time, the other 20% is when I either don't get a gun, or thanks to the loving lag for the first 20-30 seconds of being on the ground someone out loots a gun from under me.

Plx fix dumb start of game lag butthole.

I won an FPP solo game! My first solo win! :D

Then I noticed the latest update had pushed me back to AS. Took the wind out of my sails quite a bit (and explained a lot), but hey, better than nothing.

I'm legit terrible, so will probably be my only win. I went back and watched some of the replay and it was hilarious how bad all of us in the game were.

They rely on the first shot being the only one, which with close range hit detection being...spotty, it can be a real mess.

The same shot may result in the game deciding that every pellet is a headshot or that you missed everything, and it's entirely out of your control.

I just played a squad game where I found 4 suppressors (3 AR and 1 SMG) right at the start of the game and ofc I got one of those teammates who spends the whole time talking loudly over everyone and ignoring everyone else. I could not get him or his friends to take any of the suppressors so I just left 2 to rot while running double suppressed ARs. We died horribly of course as they opened fire on a complex from the middle of field with no cover. :c00l:

I am pretty convinced that this event is having games with no chokes. Probably for testing purposes.

Has anyone else had games where there were just no chokes at all?
