We need a hunger games mode where everyone starts at the middle of a circular map. Lots of gear in the middle and a storm slowly shoving everyone back towards the middle after the original bloodbath and scatter. Make it bowl shaped like being inside a jungled volcano caldera or crater.

My other fantasy is a primitive version where clubs, bone and stone knives, throwing spears , slings and crappy bows and arrows replace guns. Re skin everything in super cartoony flintstones esque chunky stone and wood construction. Make the players look like really dumb caveman charicatures.

Wasn't that just Ark's BR game mode? I never played it (got bored of Ark before then) and I think it's now defunct in favor of the multi-map server clusters, but that's how my roommates described it to me. Much slower paced than fortnite as matches lasted about two hours, but the endgame was always on a plateau as the storm shrank in and the last few teams desperately battled with their wood-and-stone forts, small dino armies, stone weapons, bows, and the occasional gun from a supply drop.

I mean, I wouldn't say that the vehicles in PUBG aren't fun, they're just fun in a way not necessarily intended by the devs...

Yeah, most of Ark's BR game was bows + dinos then the final battle tended to be dinos + guns (gun people generally hid somewhere and teched up). The game lasted for 2 hours when first released then was reworked to be ~30 minutes. No one plays it any more because it stopped being supported and ran terribly.

First decent pay-to-win set in the store since the switch version came out. Tonight a new saucy boss from the little town of tomatoes is going to cut a hot slice out of the competition.

Anyone else having the progress bar not show up when reviving a teammate? I keep going to revive somebody and my character does the animation but there's no other indication I'm actually doing anything or how much longer it's going to take. I've only noticed it in the 5x20 LTM so idk if it's specific to that game type or what.

You have to be the one that actually revives the teammate for it to count. So, if you're the second person to try to revive someone, you actually don't do anything and don't get any credit for reviving them.

But it should work and count in 5v20 unless they changed / hosed it up.

I didn't mean for the challenge, I mean the little progress bar that usually circles the revive button-prompt as you're holding the button down to revive somebody(I've been playing on xbone, so it circles the X button specifically in this case.)

I get and see this bug semi regularly on switch, so it's not just you. Happened in the last 50v50 mode too.

Yeah it has been broken for weeks. You are reviving them, but just can't see the progress. Wait until they stand back up.

When this happens, you can still see the green circular progress bar above their name, even if you don't see the big timer on your screen. It also shows in the player list in the top left. So you can still estimate how much time you have left.



This is on PS4, at least. I'm sure they will fix that bug in the next major update.

It doesn't show that little progress circle when the bug happens, it just stays red, and one can't see the player in the top left when it's a non-partied teammate in one of the big team modes. It's not a huge deal or anything just definitely causes a lot of accidental revive restarts.

I think I still prefer C4, but in cases where somebody pops up a smaller 1x1 you can instantly make them regret doing so. Listening to the damage ticks is also kinda satisfying.

Is there any punishment for going afk in solo Battle Royale? I've been afk-ing under a lonely tree on a hill near Dusty while I do some chores and work (otherwise I don't see myself hitting 80 before the end of the battle pass) and I wanted to know if that's not allowed or something.

Two indicators the game uses is time alive and placement and there doesn't seem to be a kick timer.

It's this spot. You want either this tree or the tree south of it, not the one to the right of the marker because that one's foliage won't cover you. The first circle is always guaranteed to include this hill, I've yet to see it not cover it. I normally get 400-500 exp if I let myself get killed by the storm, less than 20 people tend to be alive by then. This is, of course, if the second circle doesn't include the hill. If the second one does, then it's closer to 600-700. I've gotten PLENTY of second places by doing this, which nets me about 900-1000. I've got the 120% booster from the battlepass, mind you.

From level 72 to level 76, I've only gotten killed once, and it was someone who wanted the tree for themselves. Most people won't notice you because people diving there are going for Dusty or Tilted.

I noticed the bar around the green circle over their name the first time I saw the bug, but I was playing the 5x20 mode with a friend in a party. But when it happened to me playing solo in that mode I was trying to revive a rando and the green circle didn't have the progress bar either, which resulted in an accidental restart and the both of us getting killed before I could finish the second attempt.

I got an idling victory today. It happens. I was idling because I was playing on my phone and I had to set it down, so I hopped down a pretty steep cliff on the edge of the map that was also in the final circle and no one ever figured out where I was. I’m pretty sure the last guy died to fall damage somehow.
