After listening to this week's giant bombcast, I was reminded again of this pernicious idea that PUBG hackers are partially fuelled by motivation to farm BP for crates in order to cash out a profit via third party websites.

I haven't looked closely at the numbers on this stuff but I have a very hard time believing that it actually works out economically at all. Even if you had a million BP there is what, a 6 crate limit per week? How many weeks does an egregous hacker account survive for these days? There just doesn't seem to be any way a person could make money even considering the lower game cost in china.

anyone who says this has 0 critical thinking skills and you should ignore them

SquirrelGrip posted:

what makes [silencers] bad?


The compensator and flash hider are straight up far better because of the recoil reduction. Silencers get less bad the further range your gun is, the only situation they are best in slot is on a bolt action sniper, where recoil reduction is irelevent.

The advantage of a supressor is that it reduces the range enemies can hear you, but the sound still travels a long way with one. Meaning, you are only going to get anything out of the silencer at longer ranges. At these ranges, you are going to have a tough time hitting someone, and as soon as the bullet lands, they are going to scramble, which makes it even harder to hit them, let alone down/kill them. With a little bit of experience, you can easily figure out the direction someone is shooting from, meaning they will know where you are, completely negating any advantage of the supressor. The lack of recoil reduction also means that you have to spend more time adjusting between shots, which means more time fighting, more time tunnel visioned on something far away, more time for someone close to sneak up and catch you off guard. Long range fighting is bad in general.

Close - medium range, where they can hear you anyway, the recoil reduction of the other two is far more important than far away enemies hearing you. If you get in a close range fight, its very likely the enemy won't have a supressor and everyone in range is going to hear gunshots from them anyway. At these ranges, fights are all about bursting down your enemy before they duck back into cover, and the supressor doesn't help with that at all.

The only time supressors have any sort of advantage is in scenarios where you typically don't want to be fighting anyway, they just aren't good in a game with realistic-ish balistics and arcadey health mechanics.

Very underappreciated aspect of suppressors is that they totally 100% hide your muzzle flash. This easily buys you extra critical moments if you're the one initiating an engagement. Once the enemy knows where you are you should switch over to a compensator if you have one.

completely unnecessary and forces you to take your eyes off combat.

For everyone who thinks the idea that anyone would cheat because of crate monetization is ridiculous, do you remember when Bluehole had to change the way BP was awarded to curb players from continually idling after they introduced the gamescom crate?

Idling is far more lucrative than hacking for 0 risk at all

You arent making a profit on 7 crate rolls at miniscule odds on 15-40 usd accounts. Cashing out steam credit is basically impossible if you have a lot of accounts with small wallet values

slap me and kiss me posted:

Suppressors are choice because they conceal you from all the goblins coming to murk you who were summoned by the sounds of a firefight.

the enemy will be shooting too, and unless you're an idiot/new, they are going to be nearby because long range firefights are a very bad idea in this game.

Most of the reason supressors suck is because they don't give you much in the ranges you actually want to be using a gun. For the cost of it taking longer to kill people with one, they make a more muffled noise that good players can and will use to figure out where you are. Even beyond audible range, you can tell what direction a shot is coming from based on context. If bullets are landing near someone, the first thing a good player is going to think is along the lines of "there is someone in this direction that is close enough to me and in a secure enough spot that they are willing to engage in a fight". There's only so many places you can be, they are going to have a pretty good idea of where you are and how to play around you.

Groovelord Neato posted:

wonder why compensators are so much easier to find. probably because they're better. that makes sense.

because in pus mind supressors should be good, but in actuality, they aren't. devs make balance mistakes all the dang time. If you just look at the concept, supressors sound really good, but they don't work like that in game.

Maybe the average goon player gets more value out of having their position concealed than someone with arguably the best aim on the planet???

the players with the best aim on the planet take the attatchments that help them aim even better is the lesson you should take from that

Dog I think you are wrong about how easy it is to locate people with suppressors unless you never shoot anyone over 100 meters away.

Long range firefights happen all the time in my games, yeah it alerts people to your position but that's pretty fun, I actually don't know how you'd play PUBG if you aren't shooting every person as soon as you have a shot on them because close range firefights are a clusterfuck of lag/desync

I'm not wrong because I can do it and I'm nowhere near as good as some goons are at pubg. I take every smart fight possible.

This is my argument for using a suppressor. This is me getting hosed by a Suppressed SCAR. I'm sure a better player would have been able to find the sound sooner, but all I could hear was the bullets flying by my head and hitting the ground.

Feel free to critique my lovely play.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RcgHcZcDG8

When you hear a crack, it sounds 90 degrees to the plane the that the bullets are on. When you see the bullets hit the trees and ground, you can tell which direction they are in. With both of those, you can figure out roughly +-10 degrees where he is. If you cant hear the gunshots over the crack, it means they are very close, this is true for both supressed and unsupressed.

Its easier with practice, and if you have headphones with a wide soundstage. Headphones that gamers would describe as good for soundwhoring, i wish I had a better word to describe it.

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

Please explain to me why you stopped looting while you are rolling around in a motorcycle helmet and an AK with 90 ammo? You aren't going to be winning that way.

Or are you of the theory "kill people to get your loot." Which is still looting, and you are going to end up with even better loot than what I mentioned, going into the final circles.

Seriously, the stuff I mentioned isn't hard to find. I can usually find all of that before the first circle closes and I will just be looking for maybe a 4x or maybe some more meds while on the move (if I have to move). Where do you drop?

I drop named places and stop looting after the house that gives me better than a shotgun or vector.
