PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

I am pretty rusty. Trying to work out when to use manually tapping burst fire, vs just staying single unless I'm inside a building.

Did they change ballistics or something. What I would consider moderate range with an 8x, SKS seemed to have just enormous drop. I noticed I can't put an 8x on my m16 anymore.
Bought one of each catergory cate, one was openable, other a red "triumph" crate needed a key.

Wonder if it's worth the lottery of opening it for selling skins, or just take my $2.50 for the box on steam market.

I heard that the 8x on M16 change was to encourage people to use the Mini. The only problem is they nerfed the Mini so hard it's a piece of shit now. And it makes no sense to me that an M16 couldn't the optics that an M4 can (speaking realistically).

I don't really like the SKS anymore either. I hadn't noticed bullet drop, but anytime I use it recently I'm underwhelmed.

A full kit Vector is amazing, I agree. Unfortunately with an extended you can spend its 25 bullets super fast and with no recoil if you start off-target you're fucked. It is a lazer though. Ump's 40 clip and slower fire allows you to adjust before running dry.

The AK is a large SMG at this point. Awful beyond 150m. Worst bullet velocity of the rifles. M4 is king. M16 and Scar are comparable except the 8x factor and Scar's full auto. The m16 has the fastest fire rate, but only if you manually fire it as fast as you can.

SKS is all about lead. Lead them a half body with a 4x and full body with an 8x. Always aim top of their head for headshots.

If you're burst firing a gun that just means you need to work on your recoil control.

Yeah, it's not fun for me personally. Shroud/Grimmmz/Doc love it. They just want to kill kill kill and maybe win. I want to land, kill some, get in actual fights that last longer than 0.25 seconds, and feel like I earned a thought-out win. This is like a FFA CoD deathmatch with no respawns.

Not knocking it, just not my personal cup of tea.

Things I like:

No clothing spawns
Dynamic weather that changes during the game
Buildings that aren't overly complicated (Mirimar)

Idk having done all vector runs and agreeing with Jakky.. burst fire does have a place.. getting 3 or 4 solid bursts is far superior trying to control burst fire above a certain distance, it keeps the laser and you still rail into em pretty badly. Sniping with the vector is stupid fun, but really only worth it if you have a silencer.. I might be wrong but it has the shortest audio drop off of the smg+

On the range, just a guess.. but maybe like 50m-ish. The five houses in pokinky to the 8 center.


As far as the ak, it's still usually my second pick rifle depending.. but if I know I'm city fighting it goes to my first pick with red dot. It just destroys in the damage catagory. Scar is my lowest. I usually only really have a scar for an extendo spraydown for shits n giggles.

Damn I hope that map stays similar to that.

Looks like lots of action, and guns fucking everywhere! One of my biggest frustrations is looting half of a town (Severny for instance) and coming out of it with shit loot still. Or dropping with another team and not finding a gun in half a dozen houses before they kill you. It's bullshit.

Yeah, it's a looter shooter game, but I think it's too far into the "looter" portion right now.

I like the loot, but at this point they should almost just let you drop in with an SMG equipped or something. There are rifles EVERYWHERE, but those like 1/10 games when you manage to find the ONE building in the huge cluster with 0 weapons you might as well log out.

I think I prefer the old maps, map 1 especially, but with the new high assault rifle looting. I'm not trying to play CoD here, I want some ranged engagements and time to bandage after a fight. I think they pretty much made this map for the Shroud fans that just want him to kill as many people as he can in 3 minutes then do it all over again.

It's basically not a Battle Royale for this map, it's just a deathmatch. I was watching streamers all last night as well as playing several hours and I don't think I ever saw more than 4 snipers being used including by me. Watching the "Gods" like Shroud and Grimmmz just die instantly several games in a row makes me think that this maybe still needs a little tuning. I like the lack of textures etc, but they'll texture the whole thing and fuck everyone's FPS to hell. I already can't drop Training Center because between the people, items popping in, and multilevel buildings I get 20fps the moment I land until I die.

I think it's interesting that basically the games were all COD shooters then ArmaBR and H1Z1 came out and then now it's shifting back to COD shooters, but within the BRs. Fucking eh, man.

Is the removal of clothing spawns on the other two maps as well? They need it desperately.

This... so much this.

I hate clothing spawns because half of them look like scopes/rifle attachments or spawn right under an item you actually want to loot and obscure it.
