90% of the time I've seen anyone try to use a molotov they just end up lighting themselves on fire.

The other 10% of the time it just paints a giant flaming arrow in the sky pointing to their position

I actually killed someone with a successfully utilized stun grenade. Dude was camping the top of the stairs in a small house, just staring down at the only way up. Instead of risking him getting the drop on me, I tossed a stun at the bottom of the stairs. I knew it worked because he immediately started firing his AR at nothing and panic running around the bedrooms :v:

It's a temp ban. Probably like 24 hours or something.

So it turns out that nobody actually checks unmoving cars for people inside. The middle back seat of a covered truck is loving perfect for this.



I managed to murder a few people who just paid no heed to the conveniently parked trucks alongside roads they're running past.

Don't worry all the good players will disappear pretty quickly, just don't play for a few days if you're that worried about it

If you stop playing for a few days, do you start dropping to a lower mmr? or is it just that the more active players will raise their mmr? This is important to me because I played a TON the first week I got it, and figured out playing like a coward would get me to the top 10 relatively frequently against lovely players, and now I'm playing against dudes that actually know how to shoot a gun and use cover and i'm being universally demolished. Like going 50 games without a top 10 finish, or a whole night with like 1-2 kills.

Why is getting kills even preferable? In solo, every kill except the last one sounds like an error to me.

Other players are giant bags of loot, and if they kill you first, you can't win. I'm not saying be rambo, but taking opportunities when they present is probably a good idea

To be fair PUBG isn't a full priced game, it's 30 bucks.

I was saying to a mate if they ever introduced micro-transactions to pubg that'd be it - it'll be one of the biggest games of all time. That's because people love PUBG, and people also love gambling and customization. Think about the fever that was TF2 hats or still is CSGO weapon skins.

If you're paying more than 30 bucks for a game 99% of the time you're a goddamn fool

But let's keep talking about how reneging on the no-paid-content-in-EA-promise is no big deal

Doubtful. Lots of games have region-specific publishers. Like Path of Exile with their Chinese Garena realm that doesn't affect development elsewhere. The sky's not falling yet.

It is counter-intuitive for most people. They think they're going to get better at fighting by playing more, but they're not confident in winning so they avoid fights. They're focused on winning individual games. I was doing that before I started dropping on cities for practice.

If only I could break my habit of turtling up in a house looking to catch people in the streets.

One of the guys I play with, one of the ones that's always really conservative and avoids fights, has now started blaming the game for being janky and complaining that the whole clip of bullets he put into that guy's head didn't kill him. I'm sitting there spectating, saying no, actually you hit him once and sprayed wildly after that and he killed you. He's not having any of it

Mini-14 or Mk14?

Having not used the mini yet, it's like the sks, as it takes sniper attachments and is single fire. But it has less recoil and higher muzzle velocity and uses 5.56, like the M16. So it's somewhere in between. Probably fits a niche closer to the sks.

Actually, does anyone know if it has higher muzzle velocity than the M16?

Mk14 on the other hand is basically just a beefier sks with no foregrip but with a bipod
