I hope you and the other flare gunman fired them off bang-bang without telling your other squadmates first while hopefully standing behind them.

Patch is out with a bunch of new stuff:

Lots of cosmetics and flavour but the shotgun rebalancing looks interesting as well. Maybe they'll become non-earlygame viable

Limited time matchmaking according to skill rank. This should be interesting.

I noticed last night the game was suddenly harder. Everyone was good. I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Why can't I just continue stomping noobs?

We can't have extended queue times for map select but we can for skill based matchmaking? Doesn't seem worth it.

The floating gun bug that was "fixed" has probably gotten more people killed than a pro player being in their game.

I wish they would have taken the time to do a full miramar update (like they did for erangel), but upping the loot is a great start. The rest of the patch is kind of weird.

Yeah hoping to see destructible hay bales and other props in the coming patches to at least parity Erangel.

The Winchester is going to be so fun to use with the new scope, throwing melee weapons sounds pretty stupid though.

2.7x is interesting. Does anyone know what is on the VSS so I can try to compare in my head?

I hope it's not a lovely reticle. If it's a nice clean dot it's going to be fun to use. It does like 95-99dmg to a level 2 helmet and insta-kills a level 1.

It certainly becomes much more viable as a early game weapon. Can you make a custom match with only Winchesters/revolvers with cowboy hats and no helmets?

Eh, it's fine for solos and duos. It's utterly miserable playing squads on that, though.

A quarter to never. Serious answer maybe some thing like map selection when Miramar gets a visual update. I did like the initial offering of having a featured map with the other three on random rotation. And then changing the featured map every month.

They took out map selection because wait times were forever for some maps. They should at least implement a vote for map preference. I suspect there’s a group that wants Erangel & Miramar and there’s another that wants Sanhok & Vikendi.

They fractured the queue too much and I suspect that drove some players away. I definitely stopped playing as much when it became hard to queue for the larger maps.

I actually prefer Erangel, Miramar and Vikendi. Sanhok can go burn in hell. Especially after the Erangel loot and visual update. I like to go to far off corners loot up and start stalking people.

I never understood why people divided up liking the four maps into two pairs.

QBU is a great DMR that's better than the Mini14 tho.

Because games on the larger maps tend to be longer, slightly more strategic games.

Agreed. I think vikendi plays more similar to erangel than it does sanhok
