Best way to play in my opinion: Step 1: Name yourself something appropriate, like L00TG0BL1N Step 2: Chute somewhere really far from the plane. Pick up everything possible. Meds first, then good attachments like AR supressors and scopes, then other junk. Step 3: Find a Vehicle. Step 4: Listen for gunshots, and drive towards them. Step 5: Start honking around the area. Step 6: When your vehicle starts getting shot at, drive it behind cover, and then drive back towards the shooting. Don't stop honking. Step 7: Repeat until you've run over your target or died and delivered your generous loot to them. An optional objective is to congratulate them over voice chat after you've died, and wish them well on their chicken dinner journey.

Tweak posted:is it too much to ask that guns be loaded in before the first batch of people are parachuting to roofs Yeah the first time I noticed the guns not actually loading into the game was when I and someone else landed on the same roof, I saw no guns and jumped onto the next roof and picked up a gun and then dude above me suddenly had a shotgun to blast my head off. I watch the recording back and sure enough there wasn't a loving gun when I looked and it apparently loaded in afterwards. Super stupid game mechanic.

DrPossum posted:Is there a big difference between servers? Just found out I was on Asia since I got it. If you want a lot of easy wins and are an NA player, play on AS FPP. The players there are real bad and you get the benefits of high ping with none of the drawbacks because you're likely to get first shots on everyone near you if you just look around.

Odobenidae posted:my guess is that the ruthless oriental cheaters only target tpp servers, which seem to be populated by racist people who are bad at games so in a sense it's karmic justice Choco was playing duos a couple days ago and his partner Boom got killed by the most shameless cheater who Choco specifically called out as a cheater ~5 minutes before this death when they tried to snipe Boom through a mountain with that regular tap-tap-tap. Boom just bailed from the first engagement, chose to pass on an Orange Dacia that the cheaters ended up taking to get up to that compound ahead of him and sure enough the cheater just kind of tracks him through a wall, through trees and tap-tap-tap dead. https://clips.twitch.tv/AbnegateExuberantSwanShadyLulu and today his squad got killed by this guy: https://pubg.op.gg/user/PostMacrone?server=na it was pretty suspicious

I should have hit him with the first SCAR-L spray. The bullets come out of your gun, not your crosshair. Sometimes that's tricky to know where your gun actually is though.

The B_36 posted:There's no pointless weapon in the game, they can all get kills. Except the crossbow, that thing is only used because it's drat near impossible to get kills with. If you surprise someone while they're looting, you can kill them with the P92 and pick up their fully kitted M4. Chocotaco once won an engagement against someone with a level 3 helmet because he called his shot, saying before he opened the door, "I'm gonna crossbow this guy in the head", opened the door and crossbowed them in the head. It was actually relevant because there was the guy's partner in the next room AND another duo coming in behind them, so if he'd used a different weapon than the crossbow he would have taken damage and probably have gone down sooner, and his teammate wouldn't have been able to finish the rest of them off. The revolvers are actually worthless because they reload extremely slowly and don't deal enough damage to be worth using over just dancing around like a maniac and punching someone. They nerfed the 7.62 revolver to not one-shot headshot people without helmets which is real dumb.

Matazat posted:Does the AK suck now or did I just get bad? I can't hit anything at range with it, and even at close range I keep dying because the full auto sprays all over the place. The AK is fantastic if you just full auto spray someone at 100 meters and get your headshots. Of course it's much more likely to deal zero damage.

Appoda posted:Academically, I see why the 5.56 rifles are superior in most situations, especially when the western rifles benefit more from attachments and their superior range / control. Despite that, I have hella good luck with the AKM and a lot of my 5+ kill games has been with Izhmash's finest. Dunno if I'm benefiting from my play style or if it's just confirmation bias. The AK is exceptionally good if you hit all of your shots and get a headshot in there. It's just an exceptionally unreliable gun outside of 5 meters.

abigserve posted:Unfortunately the netcode isn't up to snuff though so a lot of moments that should be really intense and close battles end up being stomps because of lag or desync. I shot some poor guy yesterday who would have been clearly behind cover on his screen my last shot still registered. Oh man the best is when they're clearly behind cover on your screen, yet they go down. Like when you're spraying some dude, they get behind the corner and you're like "one's behind the house, they're lit --- oh wait no just got the knock a second and a half late nevermind." e: region lock doesn't fix this problem, they just need to make having a high ping be a drawback instead of an advantage.

abigserve posted:With the desert map out, if you are trying to avoid the first 5 minutes of lag/bullshit, chances are you aren't even going to see anyone until 50~ left anyway. In the vast majority of my Miramar matches there's 40 or less players left alive when the first circle closes. Generally I get to clear out whoever drops with me, maybe someone who wanted to ambush me as I left my drop spot, and then I get to just drive around hoping for people to shoot at me, or find a nice building in the center of the circle and play some 3DS games while the circle gets much smaller or until I hear shooting or a vehicle. the map would be so good if it was a 1/4 the size with the same amount of poo poo on it, just get rid of all the garbage open space and make it some bananas cityscape.

Danyull posted:Has anyone experienced a weird delay between where your camera moves and when your character's movement actually follows? A friend of mine just started getting this problem. If he moves his mouse, the camera turns instantly, but he doesn't actually change direction for another second or two after. He tried reinstalling but no luck. I had that problem before 1.0 and I have no idea when I stopped having it. It felt like my character was running on ice. I fixed it by not playing PUBG for a month and uninstalling it and deleting the /TSLGame appdata folder, or maybe it just fixed itself magically. Notably I didn't have this problem when I first started playing, it only showed up after a patch and isn't there for me now.

daslog posted:Ok Goons, tell me how to fix my aim. My mouse settings are 6/12 in window, 400 dpi, 5 out of 10 (50%) in game. Watch the end for super slow mo. Dunno how to aim but you should be going for center mass rather than praying for headshots and you probably should position better. You saw them through the gap on the right and just kind of stood there where your opponent could see you easily rather than repositioning to the opposite corner so they have to scan more of the room to find you and possibly you could have hidden behind the slab on top of that rubble pile so they run past your room and you can shoot them in the back or they might run into the room and you can ambush them without them even knowing where you are until they're dead.

comatose posted:I've done consecutive games with my mates that we've all reported as being laggy piles of poo poo so I've gone and checked this website and its said my ping to the oceanic servers is still like 20. I think the ping the site spits back is accurate but a lot of the time its not even close to what you'll experience in game. Its hosed up that there is no in game method to check your ping. Ping is much less relevant than packet loss. If this game's lovely servers are anything like World of Tank's lovely servers then you could just have a bunch of dropped packets causing all sorts of weird poo poo to happen. Or it's just the insanely low tick rate.

Hippie Hedgehog posted:Going against the consensus here: I think when a player is indoors and above you, their footsteps sound "bassier", ie the high frequencies are filtered out and a little booming resonance is added to simulate them walking "on your ceiling". I could be wrong though, maybe this effect is added even when they're below you. Anyone with evidence? The footstep noises need to be specifically programmed in for each building apparently. The two-stories on Erangel where there's a door in the kitchen, then a door in the entryway that branches to a small hallway with a bathroom, a bedroom and a wooden staircase leading upstairs to a second floor that's a small hallway with a door on the right and a doorway without a door on the left at the end? Those houses you can absolutely tell which floor someone's creeping around on from their footsteps. There isn't much consistency among all the different pre-bought buildings in this game for that to be a reliable indicator unless you've experienced each building type before.

Chocotaco's game is bugged and he has no ambient noise - he can hear footsteps and gunshots and glass breaking but he doesn't hear the wind or other fake noises. I would play a ton more PUBG if I could turn that poo poo off. He ended up reconnecting since it was pretty much actually cheating but if I get that bug I'm just going to keep the program on until a patch forces me to close it.

Actual Zharki circles are fantastic because there's a bunch of walls, houses and differing elevation in Zharki to provide a really fun, interactive endgame. Of course it's surrounded by utterly horrible locations for a final circle - the hills east are a nightmare, southeast has a big ol' wheat field, south is a forest, north is water, and west is somewhere literally no one has ever been.
