Shooting them?

My team was above ground and the other below us underground in a single entrance bunker. Going through the blue to get to them would've been suicide. They won, I wanna know how :p .

one of them shot another of them in the foot or was already injured and started using a med kit before the blue went in

If you are the only one left and don't have a teammate to shoot you, taking damage from the blue so you can start popping the medkit might also work

A couple games in and it looks like the power setting thing fixed my issue. I might get a really, really short hitch now where it used to lock up for multiple seconds so it's a massive improvement.

Hit it until it's not a problem anymore

Snapes N Snapes posted:

What's the best play to try and outheal enemies in the very last closing circle (ie when it closes fully with a poo poo ton of damage). Make sure you're injured beforehand so you can pop a medkit/first aid a bit in advance?

Here's all the answers you want.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PUBATTLEGROUNDS/comments/6odhok/circle_breakdown_times_damage_travel_time_and_tips/

Other relevant info is medkits take 8 seconds to use and a first aid kit takes six seconds to use.

The final circle will kill you in 10 seconds from 100% health and 7.5 seconds from 75% health in increments of 11 damage. Remember you can't pre-cast healing items so you can actually hit the heal button at 89 and 64% damage. So you can just barely heal as long as you have items and are mashing on the hotkey.

Kill points are based only on the Elo rating of the person you killed.

Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

Anyone else having problems with lag timing you out?

Every single game I have had tonight has lagged me at least for 30 seconds. I've timed out a couple of times.

I have 120Mbit down with bonded pair. I am wondering if that might be the issue on my side, but when I do a ping test against any north american servers it's all really good, sub 100 ping.

It's not fun to get all loaded up with gear and the just time out. Or to be driving from the blue and end up in the ocean with no vehicle now and the entire map to get across.

The last match my lag was so bad I shot a guy a few times about 200 meters away, heard him shoot back with a sniper rifle, ran away, then died from the initial shot.

I wasn't getting this sort of lag a month ago. They really did some major damage to their network code.

All player landings make zero noise at the moment. I have noticed that there is zero sound when I do it, or when players around me do it.

I used to see double drops pretty frequently in squad games. It doesn't seem to be the norm though.

Yeah the landing when you jump out a 2nd story window or whatever doesn't make any noise to other players.

Something is definitely rotten in Denmark regarding their end. I normally run a ping of about 4ms and today halfway through a match I was getting consistent network lag spikes and hitting a constant 61ms ping.

Of course, I got 4 kills that game, and only died when I got greedy and went to loot a corpse I didn't need.

e: found like 4 8x scopes that match too, picked em all up to make sure they wouldn't fall into the wrong hands.

Sometimes no crate gets dropped in a given flyby, sometimes you get a double drop. Gotta keep things interesting.

Yeah last squad game I played we had a double drop right on our heads. At first we were pumped but then we realized it was a curse as the entire map descended on us from every direction and wwiii broke out. We didn't make it.

Huh guess I've just never noticed it before. We definitely did not stick around to investigate, our health was already low because we stopped at the last drop just a minute before. I got a Groza that eventually won the game for us though!

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one to Flavortown, and that has made all the difference.



Same. Every time I die on a motorcycle I just laugh my rear end off. My most recent involved me hitting the tiniest bump going full speed which caused me to cartwheel at superspeed and get thrown from the bike into a tree.

Part of me wants to say it's cartoon physics but I feel like it's almost realistic when it comes to the motorcycle accidents.
