Another one of those boring survival style games. King of the hill is a mod that you can get even on games like arma 3 or rust, but paying almost 30 $ for a game with only that gamemode is really stupid.
Jeremiah Brooks
First month: 2 wins in 699 games. Today: 2 wins, top 1000. Oh boy oh boy, I gotta stop for today.
It a feature of the spectator mode for custom games. Right now only available for streamers/pubg partners.
Matthew Butler
someone make a real thread
Nolan Allen
I thought that myself before I started playing.
As good as Arma 3 and Rust are, their battleroyale modes don't come close to PUBG.
This game was solely designed for battleroyale and is expanding... They've just added a vehicle and a gun, fixed performance issues and it only begins here.
Easton Smith
fuck off, playerunknown
Asher Bailey
Get off the Asian servers you fucking dick bags. You go on and on about how easy it is but that's because you're the ones with 600 ping teleporting through walls and morphing through trees.
FUCK OFF WE'RE FULL

What strategies do you guys use that work? I've been getting my ass kicked.

Reminder that VSS is best gun in game
>Supressed and powerful scope at pickup >common 9mm >plays as sniper, AR, and smg well.
Only downside is the 10 cap mag
Carter Miller
>does 0 damage meanwhile kar oneshots if you hit the head
Matthew Williams
arma's 55 bucks (CAD, anyways) and the playerbase is essentially people who want to RP like they're in the military and/or miss America's Army
for 20 bucks less, the price of a night out, I got a pick up and play shooter arena with mechanics designed to support it that I can shit around with my friends in
Eli Phillips
VSS is way too specialized to be considered the best gun in the game.
It's amazing when your position is concealed, since it's effectively silent beyond ~25m and the only other ranged weapon like that (xbow) is pretty garbage.
However, in a gunfight basically any other rifle is superior.
I think it and the SKS would be greatly improved if they upped the spawn rate of sniper rifle mags, 10 rounds is just so few.
Jace Hall
He's Lebanese so he's white
Michael Murphy
It's great for counter sniping or. It can out 10 rounds onto a snipers position to keep him behind cover. And can also take out a player indoors if you fire full auto from the hip too.
Blake Lopez
How do I do well late game? I'm pretty bad at shooters and pretty much lose every 1v1. best I've done is 9th. Got the game yesterday. Any tips?
Carson Jones
>Still no Zombie battlegrounds mode. >Still only one map
They can't keep getting away with this shit
William Diaz
9th is britty gud for someone in your position. Just keep playing, bro, tops are only going to make you form bad habits. Do what feels comfortable until you plataeu, then it'll be time to see what the pros are doing.
Nathaniel Cox
I'm I used to run everywhere guns blazin, this last few days I jump out of the plane and get a vehicle and loot places no one can reach from the plane. Midgame I'll try to get to the highest points within the zone, avoiding fights if possible (e.g. drive a car or smth). Once top 30, I'm prone/in bushes/behind trees or stones all the time -> profit :^)
Thomas Lee
>VSS is best gun in game.
Damn, Bad Company 2 generals are BACK!
John Myers
I forgot: supressors, supressors whenever possible. Don't waste too much time on looting buildings and places, once you have a gun you are comfortable with, hunt those walking crates aka players.
Michael Nelson
my love of the vss comes from stalker
Matthew Sanders
>getting shot in the back by campers ignoring the forcefield completely
Sebastian Cox
>Not being aware of your surroundings
Leo Baker
It's weird how that works huh
Jayden Gutierrez
they'll probably make the blue harm people inside it more, or hinder them attacking people inside the safe zone
Robert Richardson
The game is a complete joke, from the core of balance to even the minor details of UI and the main menu. Its like a bad korean company programmed this hmmmm
Regardless of what the shills and shitters will say, you pretty much need a supressor in duos or singles to be relevant late game. Which is bullshit RNG to the extreme level.
Ah well, I think most people agree that this game is (((fun))) but piss poor made. Only the shills I have met in game or on here defend it to their dying breath. This will be forever early access like H1 or Dayz, Bluehole just doesnt have the capacity to make a good polished game
I love the game but holy shit I can only play in small dosses. Too frustrating when you crash 15 minutes in, or a bug occurs etc.
Tyler Hughes
Suppressors are good to have, but they're not necessary for winning.
Sounds like you need to start properly analyzing why you're losing instead of scapegoating like a reddit scrub.
Kevin Sullivan
>beat a 1v4 in groups, rest of buds died earlier in game >running to the zone, blue passes me >"Oh good I'll make it its not doing too much damage" >blue reaches the zone >now doing DOUBLE DAMAGE FOR NO REASON >die
Can any explain to me, mechanically, why there's any reason it doubles in damage?
William Parker
>kill someone in the top 20 >70% chance they have a suppressor
wooow so hard to get a suppressor wtf I hate pubg now wtf i hate pubg now
Evan Miller
So as a player you understand the risk of the barrier especially as the game progresses late, so you play more proactive in your positioning.
John Taylor
I'll take a UMP up close, and a AR at range. VSS needs a buff, it's specialist role is too niche at the moment to be as rare as it is. It has the potential to be an amazing high skill weapon, but it's just not there yet. I think a small increase in damage, and slightly faster bullet speed would bring it up without going overboard.
Brandon Ortiz
If we can't have either of those for whatever reason, even making it's bullet drop less drastic would give it a solid boost.
Tyler Morgan
The bullet speed is actually the only reason I don't use it. I can handle everything else
Jayden Gomez
What sens/dpi you guys using?
Dominic Peterson
420 and a 3/20 screw adapter
Ian Davis
>Guy has no idea where I am, starts running >He has zero cover around him, I'm in a great spot >Put four shots into him center of mass/head before he even realizes where I am >Put three more into him >He two taps me with an AKM
When you can't get skill, get a high ping I guess.
Angel Scott
>have military base all to myself >get good gear >kill someone right away >feeling good >escape the island >make it across bridge unscathed >go to random small house towards the middle of the circle >no one in it when i look in windows >enter >mowed down immediately >no time to react or even get one shot off >screen literally goes from me entering the door, sounds of a rifle on auto, and me dying
Great fucking game, no wonder it's still in early access, holy fuck.
Oliver Flores
>going into houses after the early looting period
just... why
Robert Harris
>Player makes no noise approaching the area >Gets the drop on me, but misses like crazy >I panic at first but realize he's not hitting me, line up my M16A4 and put 4 rounds into his head >Two taps me after surviving that
Region lock when?
Mason Hernandez
Dont mind the troll. Game is great and perfect, but if it's not, its EA so dont worry about it
He also works for bluehole and knows programming. It's perfect, get good
Nathaniel Cox
this. people need to realize that this is how the game works: you drop in a dense loot area, not some random farm house, and loot all you can to last you the rest of the game. from there you have two options: go to the center of the circle and find a building to camp, or patrol around to kill other groups of players around the map.
I see groups that just wander around the edge of the circle going from farm house to farm house and wonder why they never get good gear and why they always get killed by people in buildings
Carson Edwards
This.
Once you finish your initial looting period, give up on looting. If you have a rifle post up on a hill and try to kill people leaving town or running to the next zone. If you only have SMG's and shotguns camp by a wall or in a warehouse and wait for someone to bring you their loot.
Adam White
People just have this mentality that they need to be completely looted before they can fight. People want to be as absolutely prepared for overkill when confronted with danger. 90% of the playerbase refuse to engage targets with Level 1 armor and an UMP-9 even though most kills in PUBG are obtained through ambush and not a firefight. If you have a gun that can kill someone with their back turned to you, you are looted enough.
Joseph Martin
Except it's not even that, players won't even take the shot half the time because "I WILL GIB AWAY MUH PUHSITSHUN REDDIT SAID I SHOULD NEVER SHOOT MY GUN EXCEPT LAST PLAYER!"
I've confronted people that I saw in a building top floor, figured I didn't have the means to contest him, and would see if I could bait him into shooting at me out in the field so I could turn and tap him with my rifle. Fucker still wouldn't shoot in an open area.
Caleb Lewis
>Figure I'm in a bad position >See a shed close just within the circle >Jump up and look inside, see no one through the windows >Walk inside >Someone is somehow inside and lights me up even though no one is literally on my screen >Name is just a bunch of chink shit
I'm so sick of these fucking high ping asians shitting up these servers.
John Watson
If you increase the bullet speed by even a little bit, it's not completely silent anymore. It's speed is now just below the sound barrier, and that is the reason why it's impossible to determine where the shots are coming from. If you increase it, you're taking away the only thing that shitty gun has.
Luke Hughes
I'm at 13 hours and I get a 1-4 kills every game, and sometimes am fortunate enough to get top 10
the question is how do I get good
Mason Parker
>Get a bolt action rifle >Never any fucking optics and can't contest anyone because everyone else is running 15x optics on everything and can perfectly three tap me from 500 meters with an AKM >Get all the optics in the world, but no fucking guns
There's no fucking grey area.
Jace Rodriguez
You know this is a video game and we can change the little sliders right?
You're already doing better than %80 of the people who also entered the game with you, add a little luck to your abilities and you'll have chicken dinners
Austin Russell
It has a decent balance of muh realism and fantasy right now. Why go even further to arcade world?
Just like plebbit suggestions, >let's ruin everything we like about this game
Jacob Mitchell
Okay kid, if you think the VSS is not arcade-y unrealistic in it's current form you're fooling yourself.
Carson Wilson
Just give it the damage profile of the 5.56 rifles and make the scope work like the one on the crossbow so you can slap other sights on it.
Nathan Hill
You're right, the bullet speed is way too high. It should be reduced.
Eli Ortiz
Except there's literally no reason to pick up the VSS over any other weapon in the game now.
Close quarters you'd rather just have a shotgun or an SMG. Mid range you'd just want an AR. Long range you'd still just want an AR. Absurd range you'd want a bolt action/SKS.
I'd take literally any gun besides the 9mm pistol over it. That's how shit it is.
Camden Hughes
I'm not picking that shit gun ever, I just said that the changing the whole physics engine to make that gun better is one the worst ideas I've heard. Aka moving the sound barrier higher to allow bigger speed for the vss bullet while still being subsonic
Jordan Ramirez
>changing the whole physics engine
IT'S LITERALLY JUST A NUMBER THEY CHANGE THE FUCKING NUMBER NOT THE ENGINE ARE YOU TWELVE
Christian Thompson
>Changing the physics engine Or they could just change the way the game handles the sound for that particular weapon.
Elijah Moore
...
Asher Adams
Don't try and meme out of this one retard learn how an engine works
Daniel Morgan
>spend 10-15 minutes picking all your shit up >spend .05 seconds getting killed by a shotgun from across a field real fun game you've got there
Sebastian Barnes
It's not like you just adjust a slider and the vss is great. Every bullet sound in the game will break. Might break trajectories too. Don't try to act smart when you have no idea what you're talking about.
There's good ideas to make the gun better but this is easily the stupidest idea I've heard so far and I've seen quite few pleddit suggestions.
Go back to cod if you don't like muh realism.
Jackson Diaz
Shotguns aren't like your cowadooty where they only hit something from a foot away.
Angel Gonzalez
>It's not like you just adjust a slider No, it's called a value. However, you realize that you can always exclude things from other lines of code, or even just set up the sounds in a way that pertain uniquely to the weapon?
Like, this isn't fucking rocket surgery.
Sebastian Brown
If this game is set up so that sounds are already tied to specific bullet values I'd be impressed, however - and this is just speculation since I never looked into the engine, no one in their right mind would make that a feature - the gun fires, the game plays a sound.
That's it It's not doing advanced calculations to precisely figure out the speed, it checks the values, it checks the distance, it checks player distances, it plays the sound file, they're separate systems.
You can raise and lower values to adjust at will.
Changing the vss file will not touch the other guns, it might break the vss file though, who knows.
Jaxon Collins
Thinking about buying this game but I've heard it's very unoptimized. I have a stock 4670k, a gtx 770, 12 gb of ram, and no ssd. I've read on forums and leddit that people with similar rigs have had issues. Is this game going to get optimized any time soon?
Hudson Turner
Buy the game, run some tests and refund it if your machine doesn't cope. My mate runs a setup slightly worse than yours and gets by (~30 fps with occasional drops) but whether that's acceptable to you or not is your call. Granted, he also has no idea what he's doing when it comes to computers and you could quite likely fix your settings much better for performance. Other than that, I think the devs are slowly working on optimisation, but server-related issues are higher priority and I'd never buy an early access game on a promise of what's to come rather than what's currently on offer.
Luis White
Buy it, play one round with everything except draw distance turned to low - see if it runs, if not just refund it.
If you drop into a city and don't experience too many problems, it'll be a good test since those are the problem areas - more people and more items. Plus you'll die pretty quickly leaving you plenty of time to refund.
Liam Myers
ROFL, as if there aren't 20x more asian players doing that on NA. Half the people I kill nowadays have chingchong names.
Jonathan Flores
Putting everything to low is guaranteed bad perfomance on low end rigs. Just saying.
Charles Bell
Then what's the solution? Do you just gotta play on normal settings with shit fps?
Easton Davis
>duos >die early on, spectate my buddy >shit equipment >gets an airdrop, M24 but no scope lol >says fuck it, drives into the center of the third circle and hides behind a rock on a hill >DOESN'T HAS TO MOVE FOR THE REST OF THE GAME >another drop, five meters away from him >AWM and 8x >gets killed a minute later out of fucking nowhere
Parker Smith
Higher textures and/or AA give more fps on low end machines. Low/very low is very cpu intensive.
Blake Williams
well i played a few games. occasionally my fps PLUMMETS from 50-60 to literally single or very low double digits for 5-20 seconds, but it usually only happens in the first few minutes of deploying. also textures sometimes don't load when i deploy and i have to sit on my ass twiddling my thumps waiting for textures to load before i can start looting.
Connor Perez
Are you retarded? This game does not model the effect of bullet speed as far as noise is concerned. They're just two unrelated values in a file somewhere.
Jonathan Bailey
Try to tinker with the graphic options for different results. Maybe AA and textures on medium, draw distance ultra and everything else low/very low.
Juan Torres
Just keep an eye on that playtimer so you can safely refund it if necessary
Daniel Diaz
I'm not dataminer, I don't know how this game handles these kinds of things. I just like that the speed of sound is realistic and I think it shouldn't be changed. fite me irl fgt
Justin Lewis
My bike just did a front flip out of nowhere. I was on a flat fucking road. I died. So close to uninstalling this pile of rancid garbage.
Jace Bennett
then dont ride the fucking vehicles that kill you when you flip? i dont know what youre expecting here bud
Jordan Johnson
So sad. Do you need a hug?
Ryder Jenkins
someone in my game died this way then he proceeded to give me all his loot and explode himself after I revived him so I shot him in the head
Matthew Miller
I have footage of someone trying to trade meds for safety with me that I might webm later today, sort of funny interaction.
Nicholas Morgan
muh early access Fuck yeah I could use one.
Christopher Edwards

Logan Flores
Just bought the game jumped into it, and it was literally unplayable.
Used the FPS guide, it helped a bit but it was still very choppy. Any other suggestions? My rig is decent and hasn't had trouble playing any other game.
Leo Cox
the issue with grass and etc is plebs turn off their foliage to have the "advantage"
