I ain't going down alone

The last time I played squad in discord had a guy who published the squad's ranking stats in the channel and then commented on how low some of the numbers were, then in game would get exasperated and criticize people's plays whenever someone died / we lost.

There's a lot of cool folks who are fun to play with on there but I'm starting to feel more and more selective when joining a group rather than just hopping in the first spot available. Game can be stressful enough as it is

As soon as some goon sighs and bitches about something they never realize that they just lost the game for their team.

Has the lag been unbearably bad for anyone else today? I've only played two matches but in both of them I couldn't even get down from the roof of the building I landed on because every time I'd try to open the door and walk through I'd just rubber band back outside with the door closed again. The first time someone eventually came up and shot me, the second I just quit out of frustration.

Sitting at my desk, with only 10 minutes left in my lunch break I figured I'd queue into a squad game as a solo player just to ruin someone's day. Ended up being one of the most fun rounds ever, 2 kills at main power, 1 at the little sub station. Circle ended up landing on the Eastern bridge to Military base, so I worked down to the shore area and promptly got stuck in the geometry of the coast. Was able to mow down a car of two people trying to get to a boat before I exited game to get back to work.

The rubberbanding has gotten worse as more people play the game, yeah.

I have goddawful rubberbanding to start almost every game but it goes away after about 15-20 seconds. Like, when I hit the ground and try to open a door it's like pulling nails, but it evens out like right after that.

Hasn't gotten me killed yet thankfully.

Me to, it makes a fun first 30 seconds trying to frantically pick up a gun but end up changing pants 5 times.

I watched grimz play a few games and was pumped to try a full aggro run. I landed on the roof of the school after three other guys and got beat to death with a crowbar in under 20 seconds.

Try Pochinki instead if you're not confident of coming out on top at the school, you've got a little more space to maneuver there. The school is a cage match, no matter how many people drop in there's likely only going to be one person coming out and most people are going to be dead within a minute of touching down.

Also, I think the only ways I've yet to kill someone are with a vehicle and with a melee weapon other than fists. Gotta get to work on that.

If you're not the first person to touch roof, BAIL BAIL BAIL. That applies to everywhere, not just the school.

The best advice I've discovered for surviving the School are 1. You can easily survive jumping off the roof if it doesn't look you're going to get a gun, and people will usually be more concerned about the closer enemies to chase you 2. Nobody ever goes to the pool house first, and you're guaranteed at least one gun there.

Another good loot but lower traffic area is Lipovka. The plane rarely flies right over it so you have to fly a bit further to get there, but there is almost always at least 1 vehicle either inside the town or on the road right outside.

Yes, but your client will frequently show it bounce off the glass; be wary of barred windows though.

Just had a hilarious chicken dinner which involved the entire four man squad deciding not to pick up a gun, cruising around offshore in a boat for half the match, and then finally wondering why the last two enemies weren't assaulting our entirely unarmed stronghold instead of dying outside the murder circle. 0 kills, 0 shots fired, almost 0 payout, but probably the most fun I've ever had in this game lol.

Mates that play this are all American but I'm stuck in Australia.

One of my squad is Scottish and he gets along fine on NA servers, but Australia is a bit farther than that

Though I tried a game on the Asian server last week and it played fine so I'd guess you're alright tbh

Do people playing in teams actually use tactics when they get into a firefight, like two guys shooting while two others close, or is more of a 4v4 Counterstrike game

Bounding movement, etc, absolutely do work. At the very least, use covering fire, it's more effective than a smoke grenade is in any case
