I like the small plant, there’s normally enough kit for 2-3 people Land on the southern roof/balcony and work down If it’s loaded with people the road to the West has good poo poo and a car normally, you can get a gun and pop people as they leave to grab whatever good poo poo they did pray the circle isn’t north west if you miss out in a vehicle

Call me a pansy, but my favorite place to land is still "as loving far away from everyone else as possible" At least when I'm solo I'll almost always go for the most unassuming block of farmhouses I can find. Early firefights can be fun with a squad though.

When I'm solo, I'm more daring about where I drop, but in squad we definitely parachute quite a ways to get away from the crowd. Not only does this mean less opposition while gearing up, but the vehicles in the area haven't already been nabbed if the circle ends up on the other side of the map.

Yeah I don't feel like there's any downside to challenging early in the game. If you die you've lost all of 10 minutes and if you win you get a dragon's loot.

I'm always trying for that chicken dinner, so i don't really engage in unnecessary combat unless it's totally opportunistic. At least solo. Dying 5 minutes because the other guy found a better weapon is boring to me.

But I want to get better at capping foos so I'm solo dropping onto School or Power Plant in order to live fast die young.

They really need to make pistols less utterly worthless.

No one in their right mind would bring a pistol to an AR fight in real life, so it stands to reason it should remain that way in the game too. P.S. the .45 pistol with 7 shot magazine is trash trash trash and I hate it, 7 rounds is not enough to panic-shoot into someone running at you with a sickle.

I think pistols sucking has less to do with them being handguns and more to do with there being no auto-aim. Although me and a buddy were double tapped by some pistol savant the other day. We came charging at him with our fists from two different directions and he took us both out with 4 bullets, total.

Yeah I guess more than anything is that I hate anything semi auto at close range in this game

Something about the Scar just WORKS for a former CoD player such as myself. Full auto and the red dot never leaves their body. Chicken dinner with it finished with a double kill. Boom, loving it.

My thoughts on the guns I actually seem to pick up, whether by choice or necessity. I almost never seem to find sniper rifles. Uzi-great, god tier with ext mags or even better with ext/quickdraw mag SCAR-Fantastic all around M16-Fantastic w 4x scope all pistlols- dogshit, revolvers are utter irredeemable dogshit UMP 9-dogshit. gently caress this stupid gun it always gets me killed. I hate it. VSS-I'm not sure how good it is but I loving love it. Most fun gun in the game. M416-Pretty bad. passable in a pinch Tommy Gun-Good Weird WW1 looking LMG thing-Good only for the clip size but meh overall Vector-Awesome, als needs ext mags Shotguns- Double barrel is the worst gun in the game. The other ones are passable but I'll always drop them for just about anything else. All melee-worthless except for the butt pan. Mini-decent

DP28 is now the car killer. You don't always have one handy because most people will dump a WWII era Soviet gun for something better. That mag size and sight make it easy to just spit bullets at vehicles.

The M416 is the best assault rifle bar none. It has no side to side recoil, so with a vertical fire grip, suppressor/compensator and the tactical stock it’s a laser gun. The UMP is great at close engagements and SMG suppressors are fairly common.

Goddamn I suck at sitting in rooms waiting for people to come in. They open the door and walk into my perfect ambush except I hit the wall and furniture and everything in the loving room BUT them. gently caress. I need to adopt that strategy where you charge them once I know they're inside like someone mentioned. I'm way better assaulting.

The most recent patch really improve the shooting in the game. Felt way more precise and manageable now that the input lag is reduced. Got into the top 10 in 5 of 6 games with my friend and we were getting several kills each in all the games, which wasn't the case pre-patch. Also took two clips of kills I really shouldn't have gotten but whatevs. http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Baconfeet/video/43404675 http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/Baconfeet/video/43404680

Maybe I've just had lovely luck with the 416. I refuse to believe the UMP is good though lol. The damage and accuracy feels so bad compared to the other SMGs

UMP and M416 own bones, sorry man. The only SMG I'd take over a UMP is a Vector, and only if I have an extended mag and the tactical stock. I got into a very close firefight in the final circle with an UMP and beat a dude with an AUG. I'll take an extremely controllable weapon in close range 100% of the time, even if other weapons do more damage but are harder to land shots with.

I've gotten my only chicken dinner with an Uzi so it gets my vote. Also because it sounds hilarious with a suppressor.

Always grab the uzi stock if you just dropped, makes uzi god tier for early game

Control type B

Also I take back what I said about the UMP. My gripes came from shooting it in third person. It's good
|
# ? Feb 3, 2018 07:21 |
|
That's funny, I played significantly worse when I tried control type b. It's way better do the soft zoom in close quarters instead of ADSing so I find it better to use control type a.

Turns out lying in ambush with a sickle doesn't work out even if you surprise them.

That “soft zoom” is bound to LB in control type B, and that’s what you use in close quarters, yes.

Holding LB while I'm trying to shoot someone in close quarters isn't ideal for me.

I'm preferring 1st person even in close range, but I'd almost just as soon spray and pray than use the soft zoom so I don't really care about it being mapped to LB. It's kind of crazy how much better the game feels to me with control type B. It's the first time I've felt remotely competent at shooting poo poo. Won 5 shootouts in a row the second I switched, which pretty much never happened when I tried to aim in third person.

It’d be great if the game stopped resetting all my control preferences.

Beelzebozo posted:Is it materially different from holding LT to aim down sight? Playing shooters for years on consoles has conditioned me to press LT, so in an unexpected close range fight i instinctually press LT. I could learn to press LB but I'd rather just keep control type A.

Does LB ADS in type A? I honestly never even checked. All I know is that double tapping LT felt way too clunky in a pinch to go into ADS.
