I'm just indecisively swapping between all the different characters right now. Grapple hook guy seems cool but I don't really know what the best ways to use his thing are. I randomly ran into two pubs with mics and got dragged kicking and screaming to victory through 3 resurrections.

Fun Times! posted:Does the game automatically choose the correct shield/health pickup to use? For the healing items? Nah, you have to hold the heal button to bring up an item wheel and pick the right one. Shampy posted:Yeah, it won't let you pick up one if it's not an upgrade. Your current shields are tied to the armor you're wearing, so you can actually pick up a `downgrade` set if its shield bar is fuller than yours. Also more annoyingly, it means if you heal up after a fight and then swap your armor out for the dead guy's armor, you just wasted your shield cells.

hiddenriverninja posted:Do you get more of the specific currency for the extra characters if you do well or is a per match/over time kind of thing? Character unlock points are only from leveling up, but you get more xp if you do well. The other "crafting materials" currency that you use to get cosmetics only comes from lootboxes (but you get free lootboxes for leveling up too).

If you want lots of loot fast (at the expense of having to fight off every other player who wants the same thing), try to land either on the dropship or the blue "hot zone" circle on the map. Also there's plenty of loot outside chests too if you run through buildings and up staircases. If you only get the chests outside and move on I guess you'll be pretty low on stuff.

Xarbala posted:Had some pretty funny games with some other goons on the discord tonight, we got #2 once and proceeded to drown in our own blood in fistfights for the next four matches after. Never not punch things. If the squad wipes it just means you weren't punching enough!  The Kins posted:You keep getting loot boxes, but not at every level up. According to the official FAQ (which answers pretty much every question you'd have about those things) you'll receive 45 free boxes from levelling up from 1-100. From the FAQ it sounds like you will only ever get 45 free lootboxes, and once you're max level you'll never get any more. You keep getting character unlock points after the level pack though, so I guess it's cool.

uh oh pancho! posted:devotion w. turbocharger would be cool if there were any energy ammo anywhere The devotion is the worst non-pistol gun in the game. Takes forever to spin up unless you find a rare golden mod, and even then you'll probably only have one or two reloads worth of ammo total.

I am the baddy who says in every single fight "i'm gonna zipline behind this enemy squad and hit them in the back with a shotgun while my teammates are shooting them from the front", then misses every shot and dies nowhere near my team. Pathfinder is real fun though.

panda clue posted:I'm definitely getting Caustic first since Mirage's ult seems almost entirely useless (at least once people know what it does). It just makes you invisible so you can run away and get out of danger. It's basically wraith's wraith walk thing but on a longer cooldown and without a blue trail showing where you went.

Jimbot posted:Is the Prowler supposed to shoot straight up after one burst? The recoil on this gun is the jokey hyperbole I use when talking about guns with ridiculously high recoil. How can you even use this weapon? You can find gun mods that reduce recoil as loot. Maybe the prowler's designed around needing one of those.

RazzleDazzleHour posted:See, this is the thing I really really like about this game. In PUBG, there's a clear gun hierarchy, and what you pick is almost always limited by what you're able to find, but the ideal end-of-game build was almost always the same. The R99 SMG does damage crazy fast.

And it's totally fine for the pistols to be bad guns that are only useful in minute or two after dropping. I'm pretty sure it's intentional even. In a game with randomized loot it makes sense to have the dynamic of dropping, finding a gun that's slightly better than fists, and going to kill your unarmed neighbors before they get something better.

Lootboxes are pretty bad but a f2p game with cosmetic-only lootboxes is just about the best way to do them.

Xarbala posted:wraith has a knife?? There's an ultra rare "heirloom" result from loot crates that will give you a set of 3 fixed rewards. A unique skin for wraith, a unique knife cosmetic that replaces her normal melee punch, and some third thing I forget. (The FAQ says you're guaranteed to get it if you go 500 lootcrates without one.) They say they'll add more later but Wraith is the only legend with one right now.

You can do a flat projection for anything up to 179.99999 degrees FOV but the wider it gets the more zoomed-out and impossible-to-see the actual important stuff in the middle gets.

Rotten Red Rod posted:Ultimate: Lasts about 35 seconds (I believe, I have to check, I know it's more than 30 seconds), and basically gives you (and ONLY you) increased movement speed and constant threat-scope. This doesn't let you see through walls - it just highlights all enemies that you can currently see bright red. So it does not work thorough walls (although it does work through smoke). You also get very bright red, obvious footprints and more obvious clues. The ultimate is stronger than just constant thread-scope. It works at any range unlike the 1x threat scope which doesn't highlight stuff that's too far away, and it makes the rest of the screen grey so the glowing-red enemies stand out even more. Plus, more importantly, it gives every enemy a glowing red footprint trail that's probably about 10-15 feet long so you can see where they went around corners and stuff even if they're not directly visible.

Verranicus posted:I wish people wouldn't always go to the supply ship. I hate it. Not just the stupid chaos of it, but it's buggy as hell. If you die there and someone tries to rez you, you hover mid air then fall. If you die up there you can get stuck there unable to be retrieved by teammates. I hate it. I rezzed a buddy while the ship was moving downwards to land at its final position and we both somehow ended up stuck hovering midair just below the stationary ship. We ended up just disconnecting from the game since we couldn't unstick ourselves. RPATDO_LAMD fucked around with this message at 10:09 on Feb 13, 2019 |

Extremely easy solution: if someone disconnects, they instantly drop dead instead of just magically disappearing. Teammates can pick up the dead guy's banner, but can't respawn him unless he reconnects.

Verranicus posted:Suggestions on guns for people with the aim of an 80 year old? Shotguns are great Spitfire has a huge mag so it's great for spraying in an enemy's general direction. Sniper rifles can be actually pretty good and not too aim-dependent for taking a potshot or two at a guy who doesn't notice you/isn't moving before you run in with another gun.

New Wave Jose posted:2 quick questions/info I need confirming: 1. It's exactly level 23. 2. Always at your feet, but it actually increases your walk speed by a pretty high amount while you're running to place the second one. Without ziplines involved, Wraith placing a portal is the fastest character in the game.

sunken fleet posted:so i finally hit 23 and unlocked mirage and I have to ask... in what possible circumstance do you use his ult? Use it to run in invisible-ish to start a fight when the enemy doesn't know you're there yet. You have to pop it around a corner so they don't see your extremely obvious and bad standing-still decoys though.
