He was playing cs:go last night while the servers are down and is very good at that game too. I think he was a 1.6er, he accidentally called mirage map "strike."

It was actually hilarious watching him play CS because he is so drat calm and the cs environment is ridiculously toxic. At one point he said "I think I need to be 15 to understand these people." Everyone just yelling stupid things at him and him staying so calm and just chuckling.

You can mute global chat in PUBG and it has no bearing on your team or how you play. If you are playing to win in CS with a random team, your talk needs to be on to communicate with your team. But yea, internet gaming in general is pretty toxic, you are correct. I muted PUBG global chat after about my first ten seconds when I initially bought the game.

What is goonmanning? I’m assuming this is something that happened in the discord. Should I join the discord?

As rex already said, its a pick up game of cs:go. The normal term is called a "ten man," in which two people become captains and select their teams. Being it's a community from SA, they called it goonmanning.

On top of the no-recoil the biggest tell is that after making a shitload of noise he immediately puts his gun away to run for a loot box that's at least 200 m away. So he clearly has no idea what he's doing

Nice clips!

I had some trouble with my GeForce Experience settings, otherwise I would have treated you to a nice and quiet jetski tour around the islands east of Miramar, followed by a leap off the lighthouse cliff.

BTW, in case anyone's wondering, the loot up there is nothing special, same as the mainland.

I hope the three guys I left on the first island had a nice firefight before the last one died to the zone.

Those three islands rule, particularly the farthest north one. Always some lvl3 gear and kar98's. Also if the boat/ski doesnt spawn you can swim pretty easily, although it takes a couple minutes. I've never died to the blue landing there.

Anyone else having problems with taking random damage dropping from your chute and also flying off of buildings when trying to land on them? It's just since 1.0 for me... I don't mind the change in the speed/angle of the drops, just seems I take a ton more random damage and also fly off of roofs that I would surely land on pre 1.0.

And on the sound, yea, it's mixed horribly. I don't mind the loud crate planes and red zones, but they become SUPER loud for me because I feel like I have to turn up my volume to hear footsteps when it is quiet.

How on earth are you guys able to tell so quickly where the fire is coming from? I’m usually flailing around like I am the chicken dinner.

Years and years and years of playing counter-strike (sound). Also, always be aware of your surroundings, enemies are going to be in cover at rocks and trees. Try and remember where those are so you can zoom into those areas when you hear fire coming from that general direction.

Notice in that kar98 clip, the first thing I zoomed into was that rock, and he was just to the right of it. I scoped the rock a few seconds earlier, so I knew potentially an enemy could be around there.

Went back to them today, and meh. I was lucky, the islands were in the first circle. This is the result of looting the entire north island which I had to myself. Note the lack of lv3 gear, no SR and not much meds. Found two ARs, kept this one. I maintain the islands have the same level loot as the other towns.

It had three lvl3 helmets this time.

That's not half bad! Luck of the draw, I guess.
Worth going there if you don't mind a slow start.

I think the next map should be snowy Austrian alps, with old castles and monasteries, some lakes etc. Abandoned ski resort. Huts. Resort hotels.

Definitely a bit of a slow start, I agree. But with the new map, half the server dies immediately at pecado or hacienda and then there are 30 left when you leave the island.

You guys are using the kar98 if you find it... right? m4 or scar + kar98 is the best loadout.

They need to fix the AK to make it viable. It's so trash from medium to long range that everyone drops it as soon as they find an m4/scar/m16. It's a fantastic close range killer, though. But so are the other guns.

Obviously, streamers are really good, but they are using kar98's and the m4/scar every single time unless they get a crate drop. People who are striving to be good at this game should be using those guns when available, because they are the best guns.

The kar98 headshot is the best video game kill since the cs 1.6 deagle headshot.

come on guys we've seen this pattern repeat itself how many times across how many games?

I think you are forgetting the weekly limit on crates.

Have the devs actually given a reason for removing zeroing from the 2x and 4x? Really annoying change.
Also did parachuting change at all? I can't tell if its the elevation differences on Miramar, me just being bad, or something else but I'm having a lot less trouble landing exactly where I want without adjustments. Previously, I was using the bomb towards the ground at roughly ~300m from target.

1.0 changed parachuting a ton. Slowest speed is ~126km and you need to be horizontal to get it. When you pull your chute, you drop more straight down right away rather than farther out to your projected target.

It's also poo poo for landing on roofs and taking random damage.

I hit the shot of my PUBG life last night in a duos match, and then got to the end game 1v1 and fuckin' blew it. Woulda been a 7 kill and 4 kill duos win, instead it was a 6 kill and 4 kill duos 2nd place and I legit whiffed 30 bullets on a guy (I got him down to a sliver of health), he healed up behind a tree, and murdered me.

I went to bed sad and hungry.

Will post the kill later.

It is absolutely the lvl3 helmet with little to no health left. If you have a broken level 3 helmet on with full health, a kar98 cannot kill you. Use higher level armor until it is entirely gone. That number is the durability number, not how much damage it's going to block.

What would you say your base minimum items would be for saying "ok, this is enough to fight in the final circles I don't need to look in any more houses"

How many healing items, what tier armor, anything besides a assault rifle.

Are you fine with iron sights or just a red dot? are there any attachment slots your fine leaving empty on certain guns?

Yea, it really depends on the map, and how far away you are from the circles starting to form.

My min. would probably be: level 2+ everything, m4/scar with 150+ ammo, 4x on a sniper (preferably a kar98, but a 4x on an m16 has been something I enjoy lately), 3 boosts, 2 kits, 10 bandages. As far as attachments, I'd be fine leaving them empty, but if you didn't find any attachments going into the final circles, you are doing something wrong.

Obviously, these are minimums and not the ideal perfect loot I would like going into the final circle. When you kill people in the final few circles, your loot usually instantly becomes a ton better.

You're a full blown loot goblin if this is your minimum

If you don't have these things going into the final few circles, you looted wrong, didn't kill anyone, or started at some lovely yellow houses and have been running to other lovely yellow houses for 15 minutes.

Like, maybe one out of every fifteen games I play I don't have that stuff going into the final few circles (when I make it that far).
