Playing squad FPP just now with Herstory Begins Now and drop on Mylta. Find 3 K98s and two Mini 14s and a fully decked out m416 with 200+ rounds of 5.56 and plenty of glass. Driving across a field and HBN gets a crossbow to the head, we all have separate cars so I pull off and start sniping at the guy who has killed our other squadmate about 400m away. Suddenly the guy disappears and has speedhacked to directly left of me and 1 taps me

I think I’m done with this game for a bit

Every time I read "1 tap"

Is it best to stay near the edge of the circle or somewhere closer to the middle? Assuming there's a vehicle available, I mean. Both options seem viable but I don't know if there's a better choice here.

If your goal is making it as far as possible, and you get a transport before the first two zones, then the best bet is to just sit it out on the outskirts (assuming that you don't need to loot more). Starting with the third zone it really depends on the number of players alive and zone configuration.

Typically I/my stack will drive for the first two zones, and then go on foot from there. We rarely stick ourselves further than the first third inwards from the edge of the zone - only to fight for drops or if it's some of the only meaningful cover remaining.

How is the latter more fun?

Why bother sweating if you can just wipe rear end with the survivors?

E: Though yes, before someone rushes to correct me, this approach will get you hosed if the 4th-5th zone forces you to move towards that building/compound in the open, even if it is a destructible shack.

If you're talking about shotguns specifically I believe one pellet is counted as the 'seed' pellet where all the damage is calculated from. Hit somebody in the arm, that's going to do all limb damage.

Hit points in end of round calculations is done by 5 hp to the point. 20 points of damage is one outright kill from 100 to 0.

Could you rephrase that seed pellet bit for stupid me? Also, have they mentioned reason why HP calculation is so granular?

The Mash posted:

A shotgun shoots 9 pellets per shot. (Mostly, a couple might fire less, check that butt-site)

One of these pellets is counted as the magical one which determines the damage modifier of all the pellets. If the magic pellet hits the head, every pellet that hits the player anywhere gets the headshot modifier, and similarly, if one pellet hits the arm and 8 hit head/chest/neck, congrats, you just hit him in the arm with 9 pellets.

I got it. Thanks a lot!

"no one ever cheats" is more aggravating than "everyone cheats" at this point. People think the only form of hacking is blatantly speedhacking around hipfiring 80 headshots a minute. It's come to the point where it seems like every conversation on hacking is scripted, invariably someone will chime in with "that doesnt look suspicious at all, gosh no one wants to admit they got outplayed/maybe youre just bad????". No you're completely right, this game doesn't have a massive cheater problem it has to be everyone who plays this game can't admit to being bad.

This being the most most popular game with edgy gamers makes it really easy to believe that no one playing this can admit to being bad.

I presume the hackers are there to farm BP in the hope of getting a rare set of pants to sell out of a crate?

Or does your whole Steam account get banned if you are caught?

Your whole Steam account does not get banned. Since it's not a VAC ban, you might not even have means to tell if any given player has been banned in PUBG.

I was wondering about that, I tried to add someone I matched with as a friend, but their username was nowhere in Steam, or in my recent players list. She had an Asian accent though so it made me think that China could access the game, but possibly not everyone who plays is playing through steam.
Is that right?
Is the only way to access the game is with a Steam Acct? (then VAC bans would be more of a deterrent)

Not sure if Steam is the only way to access the game, and Steam Community functionality is banned in China. Since you create player profiles separately from Steam, it is entirely possible that China had some PC bang style deal or something else in place, and that you are not able to look up on Steam someone using their in-game name. If it is Overwatch Korea early deal style affair then they indeed have very little deterrent from potential cheating. Otherwise, an account ban is an account ban, regardless of anticheat or distribution platforms. VAC bans on Steam are just an extra badge of shame, since they are forced to be visible to anyone on your profile page. Age and status, but not game, however.

the best are games where you spend the first 3 circles barely out running/running in the blue, then finally finding a bike and immediately killing yourself on it

In my last game I died because I forgot to stand up for sprinting from the blue. Was like 20 metres from the zone too.

Does this work any more? The last few times I've been in a small circle, it's stopped at 5m or so, and hasn't contracted past there. Am I just going crazy, or can someone back me up on this?

It makes these standoffs much worse, because I'd way rather be pushed into them than lie down looking through grass for 10 minutes.

When circle is small enough you two should just stand up and gently caress poo poo up. No gun shoots simultaneously in two directions.

Elman posted:

That's fine and all but the problem is I'm not sure we'd be able to spot him even if we did stand up and walk around. He could easily shoot his silenced gun from the grass and we'd never get a chance to see him (that is exactly what happened when I eventually got tired of waiting and tried to look for him).

Crawl in the grass until area is small enough that you are confident you can spot the enemy standing up, the stand up both simultaneously. If that's scary, spend all your grenades in random directions before standing up. Of course, load up on every booster you have too.

I'm not always a fan of throwing grenades in those situations since that could give your position away while the chance of hitting a nade isn't that high. Sometimes though if I haven't located the last enemy I'll throw any grenade in a random direction to bait him in to throwing one too in the hope that I'll spot where it's coming from.

That said in FPP I hate circles ending in wheat fields, especially if I get there late and have to lay down to med up. I just want to stay standing looking for the snakes.

In open field circles I usually don't bother with them either, unless I have a bunch of frag grenades and know general direction of the target. Still could be useful, especially if you have smoke grenades, to just poo poo the play field up a bit if you are not sure about pushing in whoever is left.

Any chance we could get these added to the OP? I see people posting about range finding and bullet drop on a regular basis.

Rangefinding with the 8x scope



Rangefinding with 4x sniper scope





Aim points are out of date, but range points are relevant.

How to hit moving targets Part of this is out of date at greater than 300m. tldr; aim one body length per 100m.

AR recoil patterns

So, for dumb people, what is out of date from this?

Outdated:
-4X aim points for 5.56 Assault Rifles and AKM

today i had netcode jank work for me instead of against me for the first time i could notice. landed, grabbed a shotgun and then started a firefight with a guy using a pistol. i fired my first shot at him, seems like i've whiffed the shot and then two seconds later get the knockout. it usually feels like in those first couple of seconds i'm always the one getting knocked out from around a corner or the like

yeah pubg has worst in class netcode. tickrate on pick poo poo up is like 2 (2 actions per second), which is why when bunch of people land in the same place you cant pick gun up 4-5 times in a row

oh and general junk

+ really stupid shotgun damage model. they shoot x pellets. one of them is special and determines multiplier for the damage dealt applied to the rest of them. if special pellet hits head, other 8 hit leg - you deal 9 headshots. if special pellet hits leg, other 8 hit head - you deal 9 leg shots. if special pellet misses, other 8 hit head - you deal no damage. great, isn't it? :wtc:

What's thread take on M4 vs SCAR?

cinci zoo sniper
Mar 15, 2013




Party Plane Jones posted:

Scar is more useful as a psuedo sniper rifle and takes less attachments than the M416 to make amazing; its bullets do more impact than other AR variants (eg if you hit somebody it throws off their aim more). M4 is probably what you want up close since the recoil pattern is a bit easier.

Sounds about right for how I play. M4 is my last budget sniper choice from ARs.

cinci zoo sniper

My favourite sniper AR is M16, so far, but that's mainly because my buddies told me it ostensibly is the best of the lot for sniping. I'll still go for a SCAR if I have the gadget and the choice.
