The UMP is great at close to mid range and the Uzi is insane at close range. SMG's are drat good, especially with an extended magazine. If there's a chance I'm still going to be going into buildings I prefer to have one.

If you're (bad) like me and keep getting out-gunned or out-camped, I found it very refreshing to drop into Asia servers (or wherever you're unranked) to gently caress around with the fresh meat. People were just laying in open fields while I got some practice with the 4x since I'm poo poo with it.

Good for confidence, and also shooting practice!

Playing with lovely players is not a good way to improve your skills! It's better in the long run to get better the hard way, playing against players that are better than you.

It definitely does not do anything for your tactics and you have to be mindful of developing bad habits, but it was a lower-stakes environment to get practice with guns and scopes and a fun change of pace from the tense camper whack-a-mole of NA servers :unsmith:

Wait what? I guess I described it wrong. He was asking why it took so many hits to kill people and, numerically, it doesn't. I mean, a couple hits to the dome or four or five to the chest depending on the weapon doesn't seem like that much to me.

Yea I was just laughing because 4 shots vs 6 shots at any range is a big deal, especially with how easy it is to heal up behind any cover. This is why I generally don't go for the m4; I used to love it because its so easy to hit people but it just doesn't have the damage of the AK or the long range laser accuracy of the m16. Scar rarity led me to not care about it anymore. I don't drop my ak or m16 for it, the only full auto I'm every doing is with a smg but ymmv.

I just learned this after way too many games but drat is it important when people are actually able to hit headshots on you at range while running:

VulgarandStupid posted:

Look at this guy and his fake news. A level 3 with 1 hp will survive a headshot with a Kar and the next bullet in your head will kill you. A level 2 will not survive a KAR, and you'll be two shot in the head by any AR.

Isn't it a 60% damage reduction for a level 3 helmet no matter how much health is left? So you will always survive the single bullet because it would only do 40% damage which with any health on the helmet left would allow you to survive.

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, I don't know the actual damage reductions. All I care about is that an AWM and m24 are the only two guns that can 1shot ko someone with a lvl 3 1 hp helmet, no other gun can. To me this is important because I'm not going to get one shot by a kar or an sks.

Once you start getting frustrated at losing fights to an akm after hitting someone 5 times with an m4 come back and update me. I also don't ever run into people hiding in bathrooms randomly, but I don't count chasing people to a house and them taking cover in it as "hiding in a bathroom". gently caress, I wish people hid in bathrooms more. Clearing houses with 3rd person when you know which room someone is in and they aren't covering the front door is one of the easiest parts of the game. I guess I just don't spend any amount of time in houses because that is both Really Boring to me and a Losing Strategy. Like idiots who try and take cover in wizard towers... you gon die my friend

fyi the M24 can't one-shot someone at full HP with a level 3 either, it's just the AWM (and crossbow/shotguns)

Completely false, a person with a lvl 3 helmet gets a MASSIVE headshot advantage over anyone else. Pick up any lvl 3 helmet with 1hp over any lvl 2 helmet with full health.

SHY NUDIST GRRL posted:

Getting shot in the chest does 1x damage. Arms/leg is half that, and a headshot is 2.5x chest damage. Chest armor/helmets mitigate damage received against HP, at expense of their durability. However, a 1 durability piece of armor still will give the full block before it breaks, which is why a 1 durability of level 3 is better than a full level 2 if getting shot once.

happy cat


I was in a field, running towards the zone, probably around to 30. Had a SKS with no optics, buggy started driving towards me. I thought about lining up and going for it, then just decided to hide for cover behind a nearby shed.

I forgot those half-blown up sheds are destroy-able and got flattened. What can you do but laugh.

There is definitely some weird invisible poo poo going on but I don't think it's cheating, I got popped by a guy who literally was not there on my screen until the death screen, I have a feeling it has to do with the way assets load. I only really run into weird stuff like that on the first game each time I boot it up.

30/40/55 for each set. Helmet health is 80/150/220; armor health is 200/220/250.

Armor also gives you an additional 50 to capacity making L1 backpack and armor equivalent to L2 and no armor (or L2/armor equivalent to L3/no armor).

Super late game where it's only a handful of people (less than 10) you basically always want to have a level 3 on even if it's nearly shreded. A headshot. Decent shots with a kar 98 or worst an AWM could end your game, so you basically want to tank the initial blast as much as possible.

Astute observation, friend, but let me help you out: look towards the houses at 0:05 and 0:15. Also, that was some rapid firing of the SKS (although the guy he killed was using one too so that could've been it).
