yeah i'd just keep around a couple each short range and long range guns in calibers you have the ammo to run. then usually something so expensive i'm afraid to take it on a raid, but will gladly keep around just to play pretty gun dressup with any interesting parts i find

Anyone else prefer guns (rifles in particular) that are single fire over the fully automatic ones? Like if this game had a M16 type rifle with single or 3 round burst (assuming burst fire is still not dog poo poo) I would probably use that 90% of the time. The ADAR and the Vepr have always been my work horses.

Indeed, this game is a little weird when it comes to aiming. Gotta know what bullets to sling at what body party and when. Even headshots are not a guarantee kill.

Anyone have any good tips for hitting moving targets at 150-200m range? I know it’s different by bullet but I’ve been doing a lot of SKS sniping in woods and I cannot for the loving life of me hit moving targets

I know it’s different by bullet but I’ve been doing a lot of SKS sniping in woods and I cannot for the loving life of me hit moving targets it's tough since leading depends on a lot of variables like distance and target speed i haven't found the sweet spot yet but rounds move fast enough that you don't have to lead by much

The ADAR and the Vepr have always been my work horses. If you feel this way (and I have done this a lot too so I'm down with it) then the Vepr 209 is the gun you want. Cheap mods including a silencer available right from LL1, really good rear end ammo, and people hate them so much they won't even loot your gun half the time. Like seriously if you want a semi auto rifle you are cheating yourself by not shooting people with .366, it's like throwing a brick at their head. hello internet posted:Anyone have any good tips for hitting moving targets at 150-200m range?

I know it’s different by bullet but I’ve been doing a lot of SKS sniping in woods and I cannot for the loving life of me hit moving targets General tip that it may help you is to work on sweeping your scope/sights along the same path of movement as your target. If they are running left to right, start aiming behind them to the left, catch up to them, and then fire to their right just as you pass them. I find that doing this as a rule helps make me a more consistent shooter--both because it forces me into one technique (learning by repetition, more consistency) and because something about the interaction between mouse and screen helps me with shot timing.

Second best will be 5.45 or 5.56.

Grizzlys are my preferred method to heal after raid once they are cheaply available on the flea. I only found one this wipe though and that's after looting tons of filing cabinets on my quest to satisfy loving Skier. Also, great, GF's family just invited themselves to stay over the weekend. And I had hoped I could finally reach lvl 20.

Been playing sparingly as of late so yesterday was my first real scav raid. So uh, my scav rep dropped by 1.0 if that gives you any idea in how it all snowballed. I am so used to being afraid of everything as a scav and my rustyness made it hard to differentiate between scav and PMC. It's gonna take some time to get used to this.

For every one suspicious kill by a hacker there's probably a dozen hackers running around avoiding all other players and plugging the best loot on the map in their rear end. It's just such an easy game for people to cheat completely unnoticed by the community.

Encountered my first cheater this wipe yesterday while in a team of 4. I was the last one to die which helped with understanding locations of death as after initial fire we all split in different directions on the resort in shoreline. first of our team died at the back, second in the west wing hallway, 3rd in a room in the west wing being shot through walls and I died 15 second later just outside the cafeteria on the north end of west wing with the shooter coming from the north. Same guy for all of us so I guess he is the fastest man alive. I died to what I thought was 1 shot, but listening to the shadowplay is 3 shots of m855 in one trigger pull. Hopefully won't encounter something like that too often rap music posted:is that why i'm regularly getting empty marked rooms There is currently a glitch on customs where people can get their head inside the marked room of customs from the room underneath it, its causing some grievances

I've only encountered three for sure cheaters in however many hours I'd rather not think about and they were all the kind where your entire squad just gets one tapped headshots in a split second despite being widely spread out. Besides those extremely obvious ones I dunno that I'd ever really even say that I've been suspicious of many people, if any.

hello internet posted:Have you guys been having many fishy deaths? EFT subreddit is having a collective stroke about the game being “overrun with hackers” but I haven’t had any situation I’ve though was odd after 115 raids I've only had one suspicious death so far this wipe; my two friends and I all got one tapped so close together that it sounded like one gun burst (and no, we weren't standing in a line). When I played CS:GO I frequently got 15-20 more kills than my teammates and would constantly get accused of hacking, so I tend to not do the same myself unless it's super obvious. There have definitely been times where I have to wonder how the hell someone seemingly knew my position but I usually just chalk that up to not being aware of the noise I'm making.

I had one fishy death which seemed more like ping exploiting than hacking. Could have very well just been a hosed up server. I do think that hacking is more of a regional issue though. Lots of hackers hack to RMT for a living so naturally in poorer regions encountering hackers would be more expected. I still think the overall volume of hackers isn't all that high, at least not aimbot or ridiculous flying/no-clip hackers. The subreddit is a stupid echochamber, it's loving annoying. I have seen people seriously accusing BSG of colluding with the hackers because it ensures a steady stream if new sales or because they get their share. I mean it's not impossible but still it's something extremely outrageous to accuse game devs of with no evidence apart from "they be Russians!!1"

Last wipe I had a scav run where I found a LEDX on Interchange and was immediately sniped from the second floor in one shot. That was a bit suspicious on a raid with ~8min left. This wipe I’ve encountered more suspicious stuff - people finding me hiding in bushes and not moving, people knowing I was creeping up on them despite moving at the lowest speed, etc. Nothing definitive and certainly not a the pace Reddit talks about, but it’s seemed like more than last wipe.
