Ice Fist posted:Just had my best finish so far. Best of 5. I dunno. I was at 15 left and prone in the grass in the shadow of a tree, because the tree was outside the circle. I'd spent 2 minutes or something crawling over there, seeing people snipe each other, but deciding against giving my position away, and finally repositioning to the grass when the circle closed in. A guy who was late casually ran up to the tree, saw me laying there and one-shot me. That's not action thriller, that's comedy.

I'm loving this game even though I'm terrible at it. Best I've done was 10th in a squad game where I got 2 kills and it was mostly my team. Solo I've done awful because I'm still learning where to drop and usually end up with just a pistol and shotgun/smg before the circle starts. The few times I drop in on a decent loot area, I get skullfucked before I have a chance to get pimped out.

ugh, I thought I was being so careful. Went into a build pretty quiet, wasn't moving fast, found a guy camping the roof. I know he could hear me walking anyways, but poo poo I was convinced that hardly anyone else came that way. uuuugh.

Ok I'm gonna let you all in on a little secret... once you're in the top 10 it's all luck on the circle placements. Everyone at that point is geared and a decent shot probably. Hope this helps you make sense of your day to day

I got this game last week and thanks to my dayz days had five solo top 10 games so far, and yeah it basically all came down to circle luck (I had bad luck every time so far). One game I made it to 3rd and one guy did absolutely no fighting the entire time (I had a good idea of everybody's position) because the circle edge just stayed with him the whole time lol. My strategy is to move with the border until <20 at which point I kill/drive/sneak my way to the center and hunker down at a nice spot since moving with the border when the circle is small is suicidal.

Jimbot posted:I was going to ask this. So they both go off? I've spammed fire on that gun before and it's gone off three times so I can never tell if both shots actually can register or if latency screws everything up. Blasting both off around the same time seems like it'd cause one to miss, no? I'm poo poo at aiming so I can't really experiment with this stuff. Definitely both rounds are ejected from the gun immediately so I'm guessing at least two are going out. I also personally think the S686 is the best shotgun, with a choke you'll be one-shotting most people anyway and if you miss you've got a second chance to finish it off with no downtime. The S12K has too much spread to be better in the only situation where it would be (needing more than two shots to hit someone).

Everyone at that point is geared and a decent shot probably. Hope this helps you make sense of your day to day I think there just needs to be more cover in certain areas, as it is the circle works fine in some places and terrible in others and it's all based on the amount of cover left. The endgame should be about pushing in and fighting while trying to stay in cover, not rushing through an empty field and crossing your fingers. Generally I find it's best when it closes on a really hilly area as the slope acts as natural cover and there are usually a bunch of rocks and poo poo to hide behind. The absolute worst I've seen was when it closed on the eastern edge of the military base, where there is a grand total of a SINGLE FENCE to provide cover and then a bunch of flat ground. We actually won that game because we took the fence as well.

I had a lot of luck finding and kitting up SCAR-L's today and I have a quick overview for you all:
Also I think I've find my dream setup: kitted red dot SCAR and 4x/8x Kar98. I used to prefer a shotty or an ump but the scar is just way too versatile. The next best loadout is a SCAR with the M16 with 4x/8x although honestly I was able to switch to semi auto and toss an 8x on the SCAR in a pinch and slaughtered a four man team quickly and easily because the recoil is very light. All in all everyone should be aiming to have a SCAR on hand for best user experience FAT32 SHAMER fucked around with this message at 07:47 on May 17, 2017 |

IIRC the 416 stock doesn't actually do anything as yet so that shouldn't be a deciding factor when choosing between the two.

Both the SCAR and M4 without a grip have a bunch of horizontal sway, making the M16 my top pick. But I would choose the SCAR over the M4, for sure.

The M4's spread is significantly higher than the SCAR's, not even accounting for its horizontal recoil VulgarandStupid posted:Both the SCAR and M4 without a grip have a bunch of horizontal sway, making the M16 my top pick. But I would choose the SCAR over the M4, for sure. I like to spray and pray while ADS'd and it's very good at that compared to the AKM. I have had awful luck with the M16 at close range due to the burst setting being kind of inconsistent for me and my clicky finger not being able to do as much work as I'd like it to

Harry Potter on Ice posted:How long did you sit there for that to happen? Why bait Med kits instead of taking said kit and killing dudes I switch up my play-styles depending on my mood, I am currently sick with a disrupting cough and getting into surprise firefights does not do me well, so I have chosen to do a slower paced wait and bait (hence the excessive shooting). The guy who took the bait ended up making a ton of noise with a car before entering though, so I could have set it up before hand. I also enjoy setting up ambushes because it lowers the chance that I will die, even when actively hunting.

I've come to the realization that camping buildings in the final 4 circles is a bad idea. People just camp the hell out of the entrances waiting for you to run out when the circle encroaches on your building and forces you out. I'm always afraid of being attacked from behind when I'm not in a building though. I need to pay more attention to where the plane flies so that I can track where people are likely to come from. Not that it helps much in the end game, but it might help me to choose the better side of the circle to stay on.

I've always had good luck during end-game where I dive out of my car and into whatever house is left inside the white circle. I'm usually the first one there, though. Once it gets down to <20 people it definitely pays to be hugging the blue circle, you're guaranteed to have nobody behind you.

Picked this up a few days ago and can't stop playing, really should have grabbed it earlier. Won my first squad game with 2 friends after a bunch of top 5s, and then after they left I did this in my 2nd solo game ever.  Those last couple circles are so tense, I shot a two guys in the back as the blue was closing in and then had to bob and weave as a guy was sniping at me, the moment I got in the circle I pulled out that M249 and dropped him in 2 shots. The last guy was behind that tree, I tagged him with the SKS and forced him to heal and then charged him with the M249 the moment he went prone behind the tree. The SKS did some serious work for me this game with a 4x scope, my aim is still a bit lovely to make good use of the KAR.

Something feels so off with the SKS. It's the only gun where I can't get to grips with aiming it, especially with a 4x/8x. All the others I've got a pretty good feel for how to lead my shots etc, but the SKS just never seems to shoot where I aim it.

Even better: Travel light the entire match, when you enter the final circle and you start getting hit, immediately dump all your weapons and armour except for a pistol and try to take them out that way. YOU GET NOTHING

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/144498746 Supressive fire with the M249 is awesome, but sometimes your teammates have no sense of urgency and give bad info. One (out of two) enemy =/= they.

So I'm kind of interested in doing some silenced pistol + crosbow runs. I was thinking of using either the Beretta or the 1911 since the reloading of the revolver can be a pain. Am I to assume that the .45 does more damage in this game? However the 9mm should have more effective range though right?

The pistols are not worth using because the sights are outright bugged for them, if I remember correctly. The only one I'd keep is the 1911 since it's a three shot unarmored kill and doesn't have the revolver's hideous reload time.

It's not supposed to be a good setup, just fun. .45 it is i guess

You'd probably be more successful doing frying pan runs.

I want a firing range mode where everyone bros out shooting targets together at the gun range in the north with unlimited ammo spawning behind them on the benches. Wanna work on my pairings in this game.
