I finally got my non fluke victory royale. Duo'd up with a guy who definitely carried me a bit, but I was pretty happy with my teamwork and it was definitely a team win rather than me hiding and getting carried.

It's so nice to play with people that use compass number callouts rather than "over there" to indicate positions.

I do this still from time to time and it has mostly involved to me saying we neef to go to a specific spot and nobody else on my team has the map memorized. We don't know where that spot is is frequently yelled at me. Lol

Is it my bad luck or do weapons/crates not really spawn in the little shacks and rundown houses outside of some of the named locations?

Rundown houses can have 1 chest a piece. There are three to the east/soith east of Salty Springs that are good to hit then jump into Salty to take out the last guy standing.

I’m getting increasingly frustrated at this game. Not just the fact that it’s all my friends want to play anymore but when I do play with them they blame me for every loss! And now the sheer popularity of it inhibiting my ability to have fun playing this game with these long rear end wait queues to get into either game mode. Is there something I’m not getting about squad mode because everyone keeps telling me I’m not a good enough team player. I know I’m a better player than them because I’ve actually won solo games but that is just helping their argument of “oh your just thinking like a solo player”.

You could have brought this up with us. :weasel:

I just noticed that battle pass holders for season 3 will get the first 5 battle ranks free when they buy season 4.
I wonder if the goofy comet thing will happen to start season 4.

Somebody dug into the code and found bits that confirm this.

Edit: at least a limited mode called impact which should align with the season 4 release.

New favorite theory:

The meteor is just another box with loot, but will include future themed weapons/space weapons/melee weapons. Will hit randomnly in the map and attract looters from a wide radio.
Opening the meteor box could unlock random skins/decoration props.

All meteors picked up can be opened after a set time limit. It takes 12 hours to 7 days to open the meteors depending on thw rarity of meteor. You can spend V-Bucks to crack them open instantly. Accounts can only hold 4 meteors at a time.

Yeah I vastly overestimated how long it'd take to do them. Sitting at 4 completed right now with 6/10 matches with an elimination, 0/3 top 3 in squads, and 01 for 5+ kills in a match as my last 3 to pick from (going for kills because the 50v50 chaos is fun and easy to find snipe targets). I had two 4 kill 50v50 matches and died like a dummy both times. Both times also had teammates near who could rez but getting revived in 50v50 is rarer than finding a gold scar and rocket launcher in your first house of a match. :sigh:

i play with a 360 pad because my computer is hooked up to the TV and, given the game has aim assist, it's easier to sit on the couch and shoot mans than hunch forward to my kb/m

there is no voice chat push-to-talk button if you're using a controller, and pressing the keyboard key while using a gamepad to move makes the game start spazzing out and making GBS threads itself (i'm fairly sure using AHK to bind a d-pad direction to it or something would do the same)

How do yoh not have a wireless headset you freak.
