Had a ton of fun with this mode. Placed 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th, 13th... and a bunch of shitter games where I was landing in populated areas for more action.
After playing probably close to 15 matches, I see a ton of areas where I personally need to improve. I am not utilizing building as much as I should toward end of games. Putting up quick walls or making stairs to get above your 1v1 opponent (will block their sight), are techniques I need to try and remember.
I am pretty HAM in this game and like to charge at people when I see them, got 2nd instead of 1st because it was a 1v1 and we both were trying to snipe each other, I should have tried building a stair-road over him but instead I tried sneaking around to him. I could have just let him come to me too, but I'm an impatient mofo.
Shotgun is OP but had some cases where it looked like I had a nice shot, they live, and then I get 1-tapped. The RNG spread seems to fuck you at times. You really need to close distance with a shotgun or you have like no aim.
The aim in this game is kinda bad, simply because almost every gun has insane spread, so running towards people often isn't terrible, especially right now since most people suck at the game in general.
Crouching and holding Right-Click help control aim better, but in an open field people aren't going to be crouching. If you're trying to snipe at a distance you should be crouched.
After playing a while, I don't think vehicles will be necessary. The map seems large, but it's really not that bad. I ended up visiting same areas most games.
Holding SHIFT allows you to Sprint, and sprinting can out-run the Storm. I saw some streamers that didn't know this (i think).
My last match of the night I found a Golden Assault Weapon and never got to use it. Killed 1 guy... got 4th because I was trying to find kills and got caught out. Sucks!
Winning a match gives you a new glider (umbrella) instead of the hang glider. Kinda cool. Hope they add more stuff quickly, I had a blast but need something to shoot for. A leaderboard, cosmetics, or something.
My 2nd Place that shoulda been a 1st! Also my highest kill count of the night (8):
Maybe not super impressive, but sniping is so fun (look at that falloff!)
