It's interesting how the learning experience goes in this game. I went from not knowing where I was getting shot from to actually spotting a guy who was shooting me (a second before he shot me) Soon I hope to fire back at the guys who shoot me, maybe even hit one of them!

DrPlump posted:What are the good spots? I have a few times! It's actually gone OK for the most part. What I need to learn now is (when people are firing at me) to spot the flashes and get to cover. Sometimes they'll fire at me and I'll get to cover and it turns out -- oh dear, I'm on the wrong side of the cover! I do wish muzzle flashes were a little more obvious but this will probably come with experience

Had a game last night where our squad took a UAZ and a sidecar motorcycle. One of the dudes in the sidecar got sniped out of it in a completely open field, so I immediately turned the UAZ around, hightailed it to his position and interposed the UAZ in between him and the enemy. One guy revived him, two of us kept their heads down, and then we all piled into the UAZ and drove off under fire. The guy who we came back to rescue ended up getting us Chicken Dinner in the final tiny circle. It owned.

Low Desert Punk posted:I've had so, so many incredible runs where I was fully decked out, ready to go, great positioning. But my first chicken dinner just came at 2 in the morning, with my sound turned down to play Lil Yachty for half the game, and operating with a pistol and no armor You can do all the good stuff and find the best gear and sometimes you just get that one dude who spots you from behind and tags you before you can react and vice versa though

as it turns out, repeatedly hot-dropping onto high-traffic/high-loot areas over and over again makes you much better at this game!

so I got a question about the initial drop -- very often when I'm dropping on a hot spot I'll see people who seem to be opening their chutes way closer to the ground than I am. I know that we're dropping on the same elevation because the black bar is all the way on the bottom of the altimeter. Does the altimeter trigger your chute when you get to a hard altitude, or does that altitude change depending on how fast you're going?

A dude in a squad game I was in ambushed me and immediately double-tapped me through my level 2 helmet with a pistol before I could get off one shot with my M4 he then proceeded to miss every single one of two magazines worth of shots against my teammate and died when my teammate found a shotgun my man used up all his John Wick points on me

Zsinjeh posted:Don't get caught with your pants down, private! Press RELOAD (default key R) to top up your gun and get back in the fight! one thing I notice in a lot of streams like chocotaco and shroud is that they don't seem to reload that often? Like in the middle of a firefight when you think they'll have time to top off, they don't I think it's probably a combination of a) wanting to be aggressive and b) knowing they don't need all 30 shots to kill a dude

It wasn't Sound Lock, was it? https://www.3appes.com/sound-lock/ I ask because twice in the past week I've died due to someone running up on my position and my not being able to hear their footsteps at all Pattonesque fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Sep 12, 2017 |

was having a pretty great squad game with goons earlier and then a guy named ||||||||| headshot me and another goon through our level three helmets from 300m away using an M16 on burst fire essentially simultaneously, so by the time we rezzed the circle came in on us

Had a game earlier today with goons where we had all four intact versus two in the final circle. One of the enemies is in a shitshack so I prime a grenade to throw it inside ... ... and then the game freezes/network lags for exactly as long as it takes for the grenade to go off and kill me we ended up winning though. props to my man noob_bitch

It's a shame that the stats aren't tracking temporarily because this game is finally clicking and now I get several kills per game rather than months and months of zero  this is also prolly because I bought a huge mousepad, though

for leading someone, the rough guide with ARs is that if they're sprinting perpendicular to you, you aim one player-space in front of them for every 100m so if someone's 300m away from you sprinting side to side, you aim three player-bodies in front of them, and so on. these are with the 5.56 ARs -- AK and Groza are a bit slower so you wanna aim like 1.25 players ahead. Adjust as needed based on the angle and walk your shots in based on where you see them impact.

I was playing this game a few days ago and a guy came around the corner in the final 10 and immediately put all three of his M16 burst shots through my level 3 helmet so I think I'll take a bit of a break!

A friend and I decided to hot-drop at the school because we wanted to get another one of our friends in quickly after he joined while we were in the plane so I nab an AR on the roof of the school and kill five people, but my teammate gets killed and I don't have a frag grenade to off myself, so I go looking to honorably lose a fight, but unlike the majority of other times I've played this game, I'm coming out on top of every 1v1 and 1v2 20 minutes and 12 kills later in a game I intentionally tried to lose, I get a chicken dinner.

does the killcam make it look like there's zero recoil from the guy who killed you? I just got murked by a dude whose reticle was completely still while he was rapid-clicking and moving

It sucks because you always wonder, like, is that guy who just rapid-fired an SKS at me and hit every shot hacking or is he just really good? The killcam only kinda helps

Dyz posted:Dropping in areas with mining/oil structures has worked for me, but you’re pretty exposed on the catwalks. if you're squadding in Water Treatment it's not the worst idea to send someone to drop on top of the big tanks because it gives one guy an elevated position with good sightlines and two of the tanks give you some cover in the middle. If you're lucky enough to get a winchester or a decent AR you can make things difficult for anyone else who drops with you

twice tonight PUBG did the thing where it runs silky-smooth except when you get in a very close-range gunfight with a dude, where it then hiccups for just enough frames for the other guy to kill me

Hippie Hedgehog posted:I feel this game shares a key trait with Dwarf Fortress. That game's motto is "losing is fun". It's best to play this game assuming that there is at all times another player just out of your vision with a bead on your head and there's nothing you can do about it, so don't feel too bad about it when you get killed
