Is there any leveling or stats in the PUBG mode?

I'm hoping the rewards for winging are only cosmetic, but it is f2p.

It's very bare bones at the moment. You can't even pick your character model.

In PUBG I'd tell people to people in order to get better, you're going to have to play overly aggressive for a while. The same applies here. Go for kills instead of first place, you'll learn how to play to a point where you can properly form a game plan.

That sounds pretty reasonable. I'm just having trouble trading AR shots at ranges where my crosshairs covers the target.

I also wish that melee wasn't so completely useless. It would help the "didn't find a gun for 5 minutes" problem if getting the drop on soneone meant you could beat them.

Don't go full auto. Tap at range. Also try landing on roofs with guns on them.

Edit: I stream in the evenings if you'd like to stop in and watch. I can explain what I do.

Tapping at range doesn't work well on the "M16". They really need to fix that weapon. The burst fire (looks kind of like an AK) AR does a lot of work though.

I can usually hit a shot or two per burst, and apparently each shot does the same damage as a semi-auto? It's odd and very expensive to shoot.

The game really just needs a bit more mobility. Less hip fire spread and movement penalties when shooting would add a lot.

Not trying to imply that the map is too small but he map is too small for vehicles.

I agree with less hip fire spread but I don't mind the movement while shooting.

I mistyped. I want less restrictions on movement but I also played Halo for a decade so lol

what's gunplay bloom? like spread?

Yeah, exactly that. It should be called "reticle bloom" but it refers to the spread of the bullets.

It needs a buff in accuracy but could stand to do less damage.

Just had an awesome match where we got to final zone in a building we helped shape up.

Ended up as a 4v1. We absolutely dominated.

What would you guys consider to be the "minimum" needed to win a game of Fortnite?

In PUBG I consider the game over if I got to final circles without level 2 gear and a kitted out AR. This game requires less loot but more resources overall. It's neat.

Same, I couldn't stop laughing.


Building is the name of the game. BUILD OR DIE.

But really, the easiest structure to build once you're taking fire is just putting up a ramp and wall in front of it. If you're initiating a fight, build up ramps to get better a vantage point and cover. Simple. Being able to do that puts you ahead of a lot other players tbh. Also bind keys for each building structure.

I didn't realize I could bind keys like that. Is there a guide for fighting against buildings?

humpthewind posted:

If you're content ending somewhere in the 10-40 range every game, you can get away with minimal building in this game. I can consistently get in that range only building ramps for convenience.

I'll never be happy on any game :(

This is what pushed me to file for a refund. They had a good foundation and had they just trimmed off some of the dumb grinding bullshit and finished story mode, they could have pushed it out the door and pivoted to BR. Instead they're doing... whatever this is...

H1Z1 did the same thing. I'd have been mad if I didn't make double my purchase price back over some random $10 crates.

I thought it is supposed to have cross all platform progression but no cross platform play outside mobile platforms. Even with PC and consoles you just have PS4-PC cross play in gimped party mode only.


Eh?

If only Sony didn't suck rear end and played nice with other consoles.
