Not really surprised, this is a low priority and low severity bug. It doesn't impact gameplay much if at all.

It has made me hesitate a few times and I think I got my mate killed recently because of it so I would like to see it get fixed. It's not a funny bug like some of the other are, it's just weird and can be a bit distracting.


Recently I have been trying out the UMP and I gotta say I think it rips. Pop a thumb on that bad boy for the faster ADS (you don't need more stability since it's a laser already) and hose people down. That thing is so easy to control that you will be mid spray on their upper torso/head while they are still trying to get on target. Of course it doesn't technically have the straight up dps but in a real world scenario I have used it to great effect.

I would however not pair it with a bolt action rifle since you will be without a good option for mid/long range running targets. Therefore I have been pairing it with an SLR preferably and letting my teammates have the bolt action guns.

yeah smg + slr is a good combo

I am a bad sniper but something about the slr makes me happy

Though, I still swap out the UMP for the vector any chance i get

Vector + VSS (or crossbow if I’m feeling saucy) is my favorite load out.

I’ve had nothing but bad luck with the UMP. It feels like a Gatling gun compared to the Uzi or Vector, which get the lead out so much quicker.

Funny you should mention the vector and crossbow. The other day I had a vector and kinda got the drop on a dude who just domed me with a crossbow 0.1 sec before he would have died. It left me fairly salty since the fucker was running 2x xbow and I was on 11 kills and feeling it. But I guess it was the perfect weapon since any other except for the awm (and maybe a very lucky shotgun) and he woulda been dead.

Honestly I'll take SMG + any DMR/SR as my favorite loadout. It's not just the SLR. I feel ARs have fallen real hard. The amount of times where I've said "drat I really wish I had an AR right now" is vanishingly small.

But then again I'm bad so you shouldn't listen to me at all.

Gun recommendation posts should always include a K/D :smug:

That being said, the UMP is a super laser and I wouldn't be surprised if a nerf was coming with next weeks leaderboard reset. I still love the AK right now. But I have stopped using m4/scar/m16 unless I have to.

I don't think a K/D is that useful when determining whether to listen to someones advice.

Play styles have just as much effect as knowing which guns to use.

What's the current "best" audio settings, assuming you're just using basic onboard sound and W10?

Loudness Equalization: Off
Spatial Sound: Off

PubG:
There are...no relevant settings in the game?

Safe to assume you're using headphones and not some monster playing through speakers? Are your headphones stereo or 5.1/7.1? Do your headphones have software that overrides the windows settings?

All of that matters if you're looking for audio setup advice.

2.75 fpp solo 14% win rate and I avoid the UMP like the plague. Love the vector and uzi. From all the clips online it’s clear the UMP is great but it just doesn’t work for me.

But yeah, k/d should be taken with a grain of salt. Just look at leaderboards - there is a huge swing in k/d for people with similar win %

I am hot garbage at clicking on heads in this game and nothing is likely to change that. Although I don't recall ever really saying what a good load out would be, I probably have said "I have fun shooting missing people with $GUN$".

You probably shouldn't listen to me though.

I just started playing again and I'm only top 2 % but all the guns are good you just got to use them right. tap with the .556s unless the person is like 10 feet away. The only way any of the ARs suck is if you're trying to do super long range full auto spraydowns like you used to be able to do.

Man playing with speakers would be the equivalent of playing one-handed.

I've got Sennheiser HD201s, (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007XJSQC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1) which are stereo. I have no extra audio software running, and I'm plugged into the standard 3.5mm jack.

New event is out since last night and it's fun on the bun! :dance: Getting to run around in a ghillie suit silently taking people out crossbowing them is great practice I've never had with it.

Doing that poo poo first person is super stressful and great when you're pretending to be a bush and firing off bolts at a squad that's jumping and panicking everywhere only to get blown up by a grenade or blinded by a stun.

Super satisfying to run down someone and chop em down with machete or dome them with the pan.

The only crossbow kills i get are by using one of my favorite fun methods of handling someone in the same building as me.

Close a door between you and other person. Stand right in front of door. They open door. I unload crossbow bolt in their face.

It's pretty effective.

Yeah, I neurotically open all doors from as far away and as at extreme an angle as possible.

Mainly because I'm so bad at shooting that the majority of my kills probably come from surprising people walking through doors without being careful enough.

It definitely is when talking about how good guns are because someone with a higher KDR is going to be more familiar with the guns and have more kills overall then someone with a 'cowardly' playstyle. Like if someones playstyle is hiding all game, why would I ever take their advice about which guns to pick? They aren't going to be familiar with how they play out since they are most likely hiding till the end and shooting the last guy in the back. I'll listen to the guy with a 5 KDR who jumps school every game and is familiar with all the guns because they get 3x the kills each play session.

The bolts travel faster and drop less than most people are expecting. The bolt basically goes perfectly straight for the first 100m, which is the primary dot on the reticle. Point dot at head > fire > kill. Don't put any kind of optic or scope on your crossbow because it messes with the trajectory of the bolts.

This event is so much more fun than the last dumb one with the crate guns and L3 armor.

This is wrong. If you aim at someone's head at 100m, you'll be lucky to hit their feet. It goes straight up to about 30m, at which point you will start wanting to aim slightly above the head.


At 100m you should be using the 3rd dot to aim at people. At 50m you use the second.
