I think they just don't want to gently caress with the Unreal models, but I could be wrong. Regardless, it's fuckin dumb and I doubt the devs have fired either of these rifles. I am also a massive sperg.

I would kinda think that at the point where they are rolling in millions of dollars in sales that maybe that can do better then stock models. Not saying its important to deal with instead of getting the game to run less lovely, but yea.

They also just put in a 9mm weapon last patch, and 7.62 needs another assault rifle. I would think it's a safe bet it's 7.62.

The red zone needs a serious rework, either make it kill you a lot more often so it's an actual risk to trudge across or remove it completely. It just feels like bullshit when it gets you 1/1000 times and it's not a good experience at all.

rework it to be mapwide

so I'm thinking about getting this game, I have a question about teams, is it like teams get put against other teams, solo ques against other solos? does it care how big your team is? or is it like, everyone goes in all at once no matter team size

Can we get the VSS out of crates please? This gun has no business being in crates. Crates are a high risk item - the reason to go after crates is getting diluted by substandard items that people will optionally not even pick up in a normal loot spawn.

Yeah, Squad games are all squads vs squads, Duos is all duo vs duo, Solo is every man for himself unless you're a lovely teamer :mad:

Max teamsize is 4, you can queue as a solo into a squad match, otherwise assume duos are two and squads are 3-4

Yeah, it's funny to ambush a crate zone, kill everyone who comes by, then see it's just a VSS and Lv 3 helmet.

I think people I normally play with only grab the VSS now if they absolutely cannot find anything else.

I feel the same way about the Tommy Gun. I mean, it's the best SMG but it's still an SMG. Whenever my buddy goes for a dangerous crate I tell him "Enjoy your Tommy Gun" and he changes his mind.

I'll grab a vss as a secondary especially if I don't have a scope for my main gun. The built in scope is nice for scouting.

I lucked upon a 4x scope, an AKM, and a silencer early game. It made the round almost like easy mode (2nd place, I kind of got glitched but was gg either way).

Is it? I feel like it's not as strong as the UMP at range, and the Micro and Vector win at super short range.

Also SMGs are great.

They should make the tommygun a regular drop, just cap the magazine at 50, and don't let it take any optics like it currently is.

I've been swapping my UMP out for the tommy when I have the opportunity but I always end up regretting it.

So this happened earlier:

I'm the one being spectated. I had also just killed two dudes with a pistol, one of which hit me with a shotgun but lost that fight.

It should be noted we won a squad match immediately prior to this one, with only one of us being knocked out once. Perfect circles and two of us with suppressed and scoped Kar98K's.

it has a pretty big delay before the bombing starts

just make sure it's enough to let you run out of the circle if you were in the middle when the zone popped up (it might be long enough already, I've run out from pretty far inside before, just not sure)

yeah they couldn't fix the unintended effect of dying inside a house due to redzone explosions owning you through walls/windows, so as a bandaid fix they nerfed the poo poo out of the explosions to the point where they're a joke


which makes this conversation mostly pointless since they'll be buffing the explosions back once they make sure houses are safe

I timed it watching a shadowplay of a match. There's about 40 seconds from when the red zone shows up before it starts shelling. I've always had enough time to run out of it, the red circle lies and the area where explosions hit is smaller than what shows on the map.

So far I've died to the redzone twice in my 120 hours. It serves no real purpose other than being an RNG nuisance in my opinion. It's stupid to have your game ended by complete RNG that you can't do anything about in some situations.

The only situation where you can't do anything about it and it's an actual threat is if you're pinned down behind a rock somewhere in the open and in that case you're largely responsible for getting into the situation and the only punishment is that you have a one in a thousand chance to die for about 30 seconds.

The only reason Red zone is considered a nuisance is because you know where its comming. It shoulnt even mark where it strikes, just announce it, so every single player needs to consider finding shelter or hope its not on him.
