The QBZ is so good on Sanhok with a vert/comp that it's all but guaranteed to be nerfed into oblivion in the next major patch. Thing is better than the old 416 was.

I'm curious what, if anything, will happen with the QBZ.

I like it better than the current M4 and WackyJacky has a good video that goes into a detailed comparison between the two guns. Too lazy to link it, but basically the QBZ shoots slower and does less damage, but has less damage dropoff and slightly better recoil than the M4, so it's better throwing a scope on and single firing, but worse at full auto spraying at close range. Or something like that.

But some of the big PUBG streamers like Shroud and Choco seem to hate it and think it's trash compared to the M4 for whatever reason, so maybe it won't get nerfed if the "influencers" aren't all on board with it being the hands down best AR in all situations like the old M4 was.

ChocoTaco specifically has had several instances where you can see the enemy takes 7+ hits from the QBZ and somehow doesn't die, which is almost certainly due to the servers making GBS threads themselves basically all of last week, and it is probably just a coincidence that the gun he was using was the QBZ more often than other guns. The one I remember is Choco managed to flank some dudes sniping at him and Shroud, sprayed one of them in the side with the QBZ, said he knocked one and realized, wait he's alive? Okay spray him again, get four more hits, alright knocked one -- wait nope they're still alive and then the enemy managed to turn on Choco and kill him. It was really stupid and under no circumstances should the enemy have been alive but PUBG is a quality program.

Recoil control is also substantially less important when you're absurdly good at controlling recoil.

Actually I guess he was using the QBZ more often when the servers poo poo themselves because the QBZ is only on Savage, and that small map is gonna have more server issues due to everyone being clumped together.

Unfortunately I suck and haven't had a win in Thailand yet, sorry for the plot spoilers. I did however channel my inner Shroud and get back on the AKM for some slick shooting.

How did they ban him, they're flying him out to Berlin for the invitational and star of the game snorting coke off hookers asses for five days straight.

He has been bored of it, and playing a lot of Rainbow SixCorner Peek: The Game. But PUBG is still his bread and butter. It's a fun game to watch. Nothing else really is.

I've tried this about 20 times but I've never managed to get a weapon or survive more than 30 seconds. I guess i haven 't figured out the right time to jump because there's 20 people there by the time I land.

Dropping hot is dumb as gently caress. Early game lag/desync is real, weapons still don't spawn before you land, and even if they do it's generally a crap-shoot as to finding a decent gun before the closest enemy.

This is the worst game to practice general FPS mechanics in since if you die you have to wait at least 2 minutes before hitting the ground again.

I flipped my poo poo when I saw that last month or so my friends and I encountered Wadu on Erangel, sniping people with a loving Saiga, and just watching the car he was driving glitching around the map in the air. We were pinned down due to his loving hacking, eventually we just said gently caress it and tried to kill him since we knew we were going to die by him anyway. Needless to say we all died but the entire time he was trying his poo poo sales pitch on us, and one of my friends was squished like a bug smashing the car ON TOP of him. That was pretty hilarious. But gently caress that guy.

I am not comprehending this story. Are you saying you ran into Wadu hacking? He isn't the one hacking.

Drop into places that are going to have maybe 2-3 people (and guns). This is a lot easier on Sanhok since guns are plentiful and people drop at smaller complexes. Also if you hot drop, it's a must to know how to get down with the first group of people (snake drop).

I had these two nice kills yesterday

so I think a good middle-ground strategy is picking a hot spot and then dropping at a location near it, grabbing an AR, helmet and vest ASAP, and then moving into the hotspot to secure kills. You have to be proactive about moving in quickly, which gives you the advantage of catching people unaware while looting. If you're too late, you'll end up facing down the last person/squad standing. And they'll definitely have better gear than you.

school can't really be done this way, since the apts and rozhok are both pretty hot too. I would say the small village to the SW, is your best bet. but pochinki has a sweet offshoot village to the sw of the church, and you usually only have to contend with one or two people, and sometimes none.

My go to medium drops on Erangel where you can usually get a gun and armor before you die: Stalber, Mansion, and Gatka (kind of boring and bad when you don't get anyone there with you). If you get a plane path where you can stretch a bit to Rozhok, it shouldn't be too hot and will be fun. Same goes for Primorsk.
