I finally got the 15x.

Too bad I had less than 15 bullets to use with it. (also I whiffed so many shots; that much zoom fucks with my sense of distance too much)

Did they mess with how sound works at all lately, or has anyone noticed that sound works differently in fpp vs tpp? I'm suddenly finding it way way harder to echo-locate nearby footsteps, gunshots, engines, everything. It's very strange because it's not like the effect is diminished or anything, it's straight up not there any more.

Anyone? Just me?

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


I am so bad at distance shots. I can never hit targets at more than 100 meters. My longest kill was 295m and it was sheer lucky with a few silenced m16 bursts. I'm good at ambushes and sneaking so pretty much every game I play is a lot of action in the beginning followed by a lot of hiding and trying to set up ambushes and get in position for later circles. I rarely take pot shots at people I see more than 100m away unless I can do it completely hidden or turn it into a fight between two people who haven't seen each other yet (this is honestly my favorite thing in the game). I just wish I was as good as other people at distance shots so I could turn those into solo kills.

I feel you here. I got a kill the other day at 300m with only iron sights and I don't know who was more surprised, me or him.

I'm sure you know but make sure that you're not using burst mode for long kills. It's better to just use single shots.

I did not know that. I always use bursts for distance shots if it's available. Auto is totally unreliable but it feels like the bursts have less recoil on the m16.

Aim the first shot at the top of their head and hold m1. Worst case you hit their body. Adjust from there and practice.

Also yeah no burst at long ranges. It only seems to be useful when you're hip firing.

I just turned on Highlights on both Shadowplay and the game and every clip saves automatically for me.

In Shadowplay menu make sure Highlight is set to "on" (Alt+Z - Options - Highlights)
Then in PUBG go to the menu and set Highlights to "on".
When you enter a lobby for the first time after both of these are on a prompt comes up asking if you want to use the highlight feature.

The highlight feature would be a lot better if there was a Save All to Gallery or a Save as Montage feature. I really don't feel like clicking through each individual clip and saving it to gallery while my team waits for me. When you're getting like 10+ kills per game, that's a lot of clips to click through for no apparent reason.

I think they'll update it, but as of yesterday I wasn't pleased by it.

No it's not that the echo location trick is backwards, it's just straight up not there anymore. I'll swing my head and can't find any discernible difference in either ear. I think my setup has gotten messed up somehow, I dunno.

You were able to get 10 kills to show up? I got 5 one game and it only showed 3 or 4 kills and my death. Do I need to adjust my cache size somewhere?

Are you sure it wasn't grouping kills together? If two kills are close enough together, it will group them in to one clip and call it a double kill.

Didn't know there was also a setting in-game, went through the overlay twenty times. But it's greyed out! Why? :saddowns:
Only thing I could think would cause that is 'incompatible video card' but I have a GTX 970 sooooo :(

Fairly certain they were all labeled Single Kills and it was my first "Kill the guy that landed near me before wandering around for 10 minutes" kill that was missing.

I tweaked my setting a while ago so it wasn't saving multi-gig 5 minute long videos, so maybe that's why. Or maybe I just suck as scroll bars.

He jumped out while you were firing, right in to your aimpoint.

Also, Xfactor is a scrub, we used to own him in BF1.
