If you're dirt poor just run with an MP-153 with "Express" buckshot. No attachments required**, just try and buy one off the Flea Market that has a buttstock (it gives you 45% more recoil control). Just shoot the feet/knees/cock and if you hit most/all of your pellets you're going to 2 shot people wearing the best gear. If you wanna spice it up and spend a little bit more (10,000 more) buy the 'monster claw' barrel attachment and the mount it goes on and use "Magnum" buckshot ammo for 40% more damage per left click (downside being it has double the recoil, so that's why we get the monster claw barrel attachment). You can kill attentive and fully geared players with a little bit of game sense and/or surprise no problem, and the tickrate in this game means that if you peak and shoot you can get like 2 shots off before they can even react. It's far superior to a pistol for only double the price, and the ammo is dirt cheap as well. **buy the 8-Round MP-133 Magazine if yours doesn't have one, it's 2,000 RUB

The VSS is by far the best close to mid range weapon in the game, close to zero recoil, its budget ammo is VERY cost effective and it has the best high end ammo in the game. It's also really loving cheap and there is nothing wrong with 20 round mags if you don't want to splurge on the 30 round ones. Also it being silenced (and having subsonic ammo) is a nice benefit and the lack of muzzleflash is really nice for dark maps and areas. Honestly I have a hard time using a gun that isn't the VSS/ASVAL or the MP-153 shotgun, they're just so goddamn cost effective.

The best way to 'play' the flea market is to barter scam, i'm currently at 13 red rebels i refuse to sell because of the 3.5 million tax

I'm currently at 120m rubles and i've bought several thicc items cases that i don't even use and i'm still too risk averse to use the T-7 because i know as soon as i put it on some hacking nooblord is gonna smoke me. i just enjoy gimmicks in games, it's not fun to do what all the normies do, i need to do something innovative or exploit something or piss people off and I found out a cool consistent(ish) way to get barter scams, and RR is by far the best item to barter scam with (it's expensive, and it's the one item the most people are gonna have).

HORSEPORN posted:Not him but I can answer. It’s a bit of both. Stocking up on smoke grenades is decent for example because they will go up 4-5k a piece whenever prapor’s stock gets bought out. This happens pretty much every prime time because people are smacking the smoke grenade together with m67’s to make green powder to craft m955. Likewise, dfuel can drop down to as low as 100k but spike to 130/140. Propane is also especially volatile and will drop to 45/50k but spike back up to 70/80 as the red rebel barter comes off cooldown. this is really all good advice if you wanna be a market boy

Because the base gun was the M153, right? Buy an MP-153 with a buttstock (~20,000)  (4,000 / 9,000)get this mag  (2,300)if you want a sight, get this combo  (4,000 / 15,000)Use Magnum ammo if you can handle the recoil (352 damage per LMB), if not Express ammo (250 damage per LMB).

i'd like limiting the flea market in some ways and make the traders more relevant as i pretty much totally ignore them, but limiting it to level doesn't do that. also i don't think the level 15 requirement is the end of the world and it does stop a lot of easy market bots as it takes over 10x the number of games played in order to access the flea market. flea market bots can make hundreds of dollars in a couple of days before they're banned, that's why there are so many and the flea change basically made them super effective as individuals are far less capable of watching items.

they just need a rework of the flea/trader system, as it is there is absolutely no reason to use the traders (or do quests) if you're anywhere decent at the game because of how insanely easy it is to be profitable with budget loadouts.

outside of labs, there is hardly an item sink in the game. rigs, headphones, backpacks and weapons and weapon mods need to break with use and lose durability on death or something so that the market isn't horribly saturated and it's pricefloored by the trader buy price.

yeah quests are complete dogshit there should be a hud indicator telling you exactly where to go that you can enable, because 1) requiring new players to look poo poo up on the wiki is bad 2) requiring experienced players to invest in very long monotonous time sinks is bad 3) HUD indicator along with good descriptions of where items are can help new players learn the maps in the first place god knows i've never done customs so i don't know where brapor's stupid rear end pocketwatch is and i never will since there is absolutely no reason for me to ever want to get it AND i don't wanna look at a map out of game for 3-5 games to figure it out.

1) The only item sinks in the game are Labs and basically traders due to how effective insurance is. This means that pretty much every normal item is at or near that price floor. The only times items are actually removed from the economy is when the price is so goddamn low that people literally cannot be hosed to list it on the flea market for 1% more than what a trader will get them for it. Introduce a durability or a chance to break upon death* to ALL wearable items (headphones, unarmored rigs, straps, weapons, backpacks, etc) so that things actually break. *preferred 2) Trader recipes are 99% useless. There is no reason to buy a poop-stained AK-74S handguard MK 3 from brapor, or the other 21 different colors of that same handguard. No one buys these. On the other hand, there are recipes that are INCREDIBLY VALUABLE because of the either globally limited or personally limited stock. In my opinion, globally limited stock is bad, but personally limited stock is good. The flea market has made barter items effectively obsolete as pretty much any trader-barter recipe is going to be priced in almost immediately. I would make all barter trades to traders require that the barter item be 'Found in Raid', which could have either been found in raid, or be built in the hideout (potentially from flea market items.) This adds depth and niches to the market and hideout that people can discover and utilize. They also need to totally remove all of the globally limited items and instead convert them into a personally limited item. I would also like to see a system where the trader sell prices fluctuate based on how many of those items are being sold, so if a bunch of hatchet boys are spam selling HDDs every day the price will gravitate downward. They also need to be careful of certain items being created in multiple ways such that one method of creation isn't far easier than the other, making a trade be effectively useless (many such examples!). 3) There are incredibly profitable items to sell to traders for absolutely no reason, mainly bitcoin, several cases, tons of electronics, etc. They should simply let supply/demand manage the value of these items instead of creating stupid rear end price floors for literally no reason. Once again, there is effectively no point to barter items or other currencies if they can be readily converted to and from the main currency completely freely (see #2). The goal is to give people who do quests and level up their traders a measurable advantage, to give people who level up and build their hideout an advantage, and those who properly manage and utilize both even more of an advantage. If you're a good player you can max out your traders in a day or two, and your hideout in a week but if you're a good player there literally is no point- just do a labs run and you'll make more off of a moderately lucky run to outpace a week of your hideout/trader's money making potential. The best stuff should be made by players in the hideout, not randomly found on barrels or on every single raider in labs. also they need to introduce t7/t8/t9 armor already goddamn i have so much money and t6 armor is literally not even worth buying at all. Also they could limit the value of poo poo you can buy/sell to the flea market based on your flea market rep and your level per flea market reset period. [Player Level]^1.4*10,000 + [Flea Market Rep]*25,000 also remove barters on the flea market Idiot Doom Spiral posted:Doesn't help that buying items in a reasonably organized fashion also only works through the flea market. you can buy poo poo from traders via the flea market interface relatively easily. 1001 Arabian dicks fucked around with this message at 22:55 on Mar 7, 2020 |

Cup Runneth Over posted:The rest of your post is garbage as usual but I just wanna focus in on this part and how totally oblivious it is. The armor classes in the game are based on real-life ballistic levels. There will never be tier 7/8/9 armor because it doesn't exist. There is no armor in the world that will tank dozens of 54R shots for you and they won't ever add it. The armor classes in the game are based on the GOST armor standard and the most we'll ever see is 6A (which I believe is Fort armor). i don't care if it's not realistic, i want it because t6 armor is basically useless anyway. balancing a game based off of realism is dumb

VulgarandStupid posted:And yes, PUBG did allow lag switching for the first couple months of beta. That’s how people were killing everyone at the beginning of the match. You could lag switch before the plane left the starting island and use the demo guns or punch everyone else once the timer ended. On their end, they’d be on the plane or parachuting out and die once the lag switcher reconnected. Funny, annoying but also fixed relatively quickly. nah i played way past that phase, it was in the game for over a year at least. i stopped playing so idk when (if ever) it got fixed.
