For some reason I'm not able to Zero my scope anymore. As far as I know the keys are still page up / down and even when I change the keybindings I still can't zero anymore. It makes sniping way loving harder, is anyone else having this problem?

I'm pretty sure I was trying an 8x, but maybe it was only a 4x. Thanks! I've been thinking I was going crazy for the last like 2 or 3 months

I was streaming to Facebook and I had an absolutely unbelievable vehicle kill. This guy came flying past me on a motorcycle, I sprayed him with an Uzi and blew up the motorcycle. Is there a way I can download videos on Facebook?? I really want to just edit that one part and post that because it's hilarious.

Did you not notice how significantly quieter the game is after the patch?

There was a very loud ambient noise, like "background nature sound" if nature was a loud white noise machine tuned to imitate wind blowing on a 4 dollar microphone. It never really bothered me somehow but it's gone now.

I will be perfectly honest I hadn't, but that is really cool!

When I'm playing 1 v Squad I will always knock vs kill especially when there are multiple targets. Now if it's one on one I will kill vs knock.

Can anybody point me in the direction of where I'm supposed to get this beta build, is it just going to be the normal test server? I haven't been able to suss out any actual links to the game so far, and yes I know it's another 80 minutes or so from being live.

When you sign up for the beta you get a code. Go to steam and type that code in and then you can download the Closed Experimental Server.

Would you disagree with the basic idea "don't engage unless you think you will have an easy kill or you dont see a choice"?

This has actually been a big sticking point for me. I will engage people and not kill them because I don't have patience to make sure I'm in a favorable position. For example a few days ago I jumped into the Observatory, got some really good gear and then headed over to the two smaller houses north. I was standing on the edge of the cliff that overlooks the two houses. I saw someone come out onto the porch. We engaged but he was able to duck back into the house, after firing off a couple rounds out of the back on a motorcycle. About 5 minutes later that same person was able to flank and kill me in Pochinki. I doubt that guy knew it was me that engaged with him earlier, but if I had been more patient I might have been able to bait him into a more open position that would've been favorable for me.

I hope 'seeing the first circle' pre-drop doesn't make it live.

I agree 100%. Part of what makes the game so fun is where you drop and that initial run to get to the circle. One of the most memorable games I ever had involved me dropping at the Observatory, the first circle appeared with Yasnaya in the middle. I grabbed a buggy and booked it across the map, I managed to grab 1 kill and an air drop on my way there. I camped Yasnaya for awhile and then made my way to the new center of the circle which was like North / North West of where I was. I found another Air Drop with a Ghilli suit in it and I managed to grab 3 kills with the Ghilli suit before dying at 3.

The one benefit is that will serve to funnel players into the initial area making shorter games, it will also give you the choice of dropping outside of the circle and running in or jump to the middle and fight.

I caught the 2000 movie on which this game was based over the weekend - Battle Royale. It was on Netflix and is subtitled from the original Japanese. Definitely worth watching and has many of the elements found in the game; clothing, guns, buildings, etc.

I haven't played PUBG in a few months, but have been playing again since Vikendi came out. I LOVE the new parachute controls, it makes those precision jumps so much easier. I can actually land on the roof the of the observatory without rolling down the side of the dome most of the time.

Gunplay, the best part of this game imo, is largely unchanged. They weakened 5.56 just a bit.

Thats awesome!

They added a scope to the Winchester which actually makes it a viable thing to pick up early game on Miramar (and fun to use).

Awesome! That was my biggest complaint about the Winchester!

quote:

A bunch of stuff happened with Vikendi, but it's out of the map rotation currently so I guess that doesn't matter to you.

I hadn't played Vikendi very much, it was fun when I played it, so thats whatever

quote:

Flare guns are in the game, they are pretty rare and cool to use actually. You can call in a crate, or a BDRM (a big rear end amphibious tank vehicle that you cannot get shot out of. It has a decent amount of health and is really fun in the end games to drive around with the engine cut off).


Hell yeah that sounds cool as gently caress!

quote:

Erangel got a huge visual update and looks nice. The loot is pretty solid on it as well. They added a few areas of hard/terrain cover around the map as well. You can heal while moving now. Healing also isn't instant, it's 2-3 large upticks after you get it off. There is a big rear end shotgun in crates now (it sucks). You can throw melee weapons at people. You can fly gliders in Erangel/Miramar. Spike strips are a thing (it will pop the tires and slide your car out if you run it over).

I'm probably missing a ton of stuff. A bunch of UI/lobby stuff added for stats, player ID's, weapon mastery poo poo.

Man that all sounds great. I can't wait to try it out!

the jankiness of cars was my favorite part of the game and something I miss playing primarily apex now. You never knew if clipping the corner of some geometry was gonna immediately blow you up or launch you into the stratosphere. I cant even run people over anymore!

I loved car and motorcycle jank in the beta. You would be driving, hit a pothole and then get flung out the top across the map and die.
