in Cars Only news we finished season 1 right on top: 1st/2nd/3rd/6th/7th in the world for road kills per game and 1st/2nd/6th for total road kills.





here's a new vid of us doing cars

What's ya'lls favourite cars when going for road kill games? I noticed the blue dacia guy seemed to be mvp in one of the vids posted earlier but he might just be good.

there's a lot of preference involved, and it's important to have a balanced party loadout, but roughly in descending order of usefulness:

BUGGY: glass cannon. best handling in the game by far. you can handle almost all hills, dodge obstacles with ease, adjust your intercept course, and recover from nearly invisible 6 inch high walls that will deadlock a dacia. amazing turning radius. decent speed. very little protection, low vehicle HP. biggest issue: easiest tires to shoot out, which will put a damper on the multikill you thought you had lined up

SOFT-TOP JEEP: well-rounded warrior. faster than the other jeeps (seriously), maxes out at around 106 on flat land without boosting. decent protection, good vehicle HP, handling is better than a dacia or the other jeeps. great acceleration. tires are decently protected, but skilled enemies can still take them out. OK offroad performance, but easily flippable by either conflict or terrain. bring friends that can nudge you upright in a pinch.

2BIKE: assassin. fastest vehicle. has the added minigame of air control, which means a competent 2biker is technically the strongest offroad class. hard for enemies to track and unload on in full auto, which is a huge survivability boost early game. you'll usually be going so fast that hitting a bad boy is instant death, aka "kick that poo poo under the fridge". almost impossible to shoot out tires. a must-have for vehicle-to-vehicle combat - if you master the techniques, you can send an enemy dacia flying 50m into the air. low HP. turning is tricky, though you can get used to it. if you hit an invisible Map Mistake and you're not both lucky and a 300apm air control player, you're gonna be asking your friends embarrassedly if anyone has a first aid

DACIA: bard. she gets fast, she has solid HP, and the tiny tires are buried inside the solid romanian chassis, but good luck if you didn't nail your target on the first attack run. worst vehicle for road combat in cities or other obstacle-rich environments, also worst vehicle offroad. you can flip it just by turning wrong. speaking of turning, the turning radius doesn't make sense and appears to change from minute to minute. for all of the problems, we still somehow keep making incredible plays in dacias so i can never stay too mad at them

3BIKE: spellcaster. second fastest vehicle. much better hitbox than the 2bike. evidently it's getting fixed at some point but currently you can cast Ground Pound by switching seats while airborne, so feel free to take the craziest possible jumps you can find. you can still use it for effective vehicle-to-vehicle combat/erangel space program, though it's harder. turning is...asymmetrical. turning radius is horrific (on both sides). very low HP - it might be the same as 2bike? but it feels lower, probably because you're more likely to take damage with it. by far most likely vehicle to get you killed in a single-car accident. best use case: taking you and your friends to find different cars, though

HARD-TOP JEEP: tank. very slow, turning isn't the best, but highest HP and most protective surfaces. not great early game against highly mobile players hiding and dodging, but these are excellent for endgame where squads are more likely to unload on you full-auto than duck inside a house

ROLL-BAR JEEP: peasant. same as hard-top but without the HP and protection bonuses. spare car/meat shield

Tell me about this anti-vehicle strategy.


So are you saying you can fix any jumps where the 3 wheeler behaves unexpectedly (only this loving vehicle does this) by swapping seats mid air?

i’m going to refer you to timg4strok, our squad’s bike specialist. he’ll be posting shortly

you’re right, it’s marked as fixed as of feb 2. i thought i had done it a few times on the weekend, but try at your own risk...

nice. timg4strok never ended up posting his bike techniques, but for those who were looking for them at this point in the video it happens. a bike moving very fast hits a 4-wheeler moving reasonably fast, right in the front wheel, at the Forbidden Angle. see ya later

the cars boys had another excellent season. rkpg is getting weird with boathack but we were at least the top two most prolific roadkillers (imo it's a bug that boat kills are counted as "Road Kills". cmon)



Here are some highlights from season 3

going bowling
make sure to drive carefully
cars involves thinking 8 steps ahead
cars will get your blood pumping
don't say your n-words before they hatch
why do they get out?
why do they leave their trees?
cmon guys this is not the way to fight
ok stop getting out
extremely why do they get out
why do they do anything?
dying is fine if you're ready for it
do not dishonor the traditional car wrassle
(season highlight imo) i told you the wrassle is sacred

as more and more "competent" (third person) players leave this game, it gets more and more fun for Cars Playing. here are some recent highlights

these guys took a car we wanted from our usual landing zone so we chased them across the map
bridges are for cars. its that simple
i don't think these guys were happy with the outcome of this
careful on those stairs
early game hijinks are special
more early game total nonsense
not sure how they let me pull this one off

How long ago was this? I recognize old erangel. The cars after the last few updates drive like oil on water when it's on dirt and grass.

the footage is from december 2018 through july 2019, so all before new erangel went live. new erangel was a little worse for driving (mostly from new doodads in places like prison and mylta power) but we still got stuff done. we stopped playing when they took map select out

Why Vimeo and not YouTube?

i wanted to put it on youtube like the rest of em, but as i mentioned in my last post, the first song is blocked from playback on youtube. it didn't show up in the youtube licensing search tool so i made the whole video and uploaded it before finding out...
