PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

Got my first "real" win last night! (without being carried lol). Me and a buddy, 2 randoms. 1 random died earlier on. My friend died in the final circle, but was having a shit game and mostly worthless lol

Looks like the patch will make those little wood sheds destructable. Topkek.

well darn, i can't purposely park facing east anymore to lure people in

The skill will be making sure the lights stay off when you get out of the car

Patch sounds great, can't wait for it to hit.

RE: hackers, go play on the Asian server if you want to see what getting dicked by aimbots feels like. I've been hanging out there during US primetime the last few weeks as it's way less congested and even with any latency it may incur it just performs way better than the US servers under load. It's gotten so bad the last 4-5 days though that I've given it up. Final straw was landing at the northwest shipping yard and dying instantly to a headshot from a frying pan, along with about 12 other people in the kill log at the same time.

Picked up the game a couple days ago. Mostly been playing duo's with a buddy, but I got my first solo win tonight. Really happy I bought this.

Fuck the SKS!

Nerfed ump eh. Pistols with red dots will be odd.

So they're making SMGs worthless. That's really going to suck if you don't get loot RNG and head into circles with SMG/Shotgun combos.

• Fixed an issue of invisible fences even after destruction.

The test server feels smooth as hell, hopefully when the patch goes live it will feel just as good.

The recoil was the saving grace of that gun, hopefully the burst mode salvages it.

It was really good at range compared to the other two SMGs, it was nice to be able to compete in an open field if you didn't find an AR.

Performance on test is insanely good. 100+ fps on starting island with all 100 people loaded in.

Remains to be seen how much of that makes it to live under full load.

Automatic pistol is shockingly good.

Loot rebalance is....interesting? Small sample size of only 3 runs but finding x8 scopes in all kinds of random buildings now.

i7-6700k, 980ti

On live I see like ~60-70fps on island once it's a full spawn. It stays mostly 60+ during regular play with a few random drops, but on test I don't think I've seen it dip below 80 yet.

Little hyperbolic isnt it. They upped ump recoil a smidge. Only direct nerf and to one gun. They were so common they were a defacto pick unless you are like me and want them for max point blank only and prefer uzi if you have all the bits.

Edit, for reply i didnt see. I think re stuck in the open. Not enough people choose to run away. With fights in the open ive felt greatly disadvantaged more by not havimg found a 4x.

You can't really run away in this game once you start getting shot at unless you have a terrain/wall advantage. You're caught out in trees or an open field you fight or die.

Eh, I sort of agree with both of you. Sludig is right that most people aren't running (read: legitimately disengaging) when they should. But at the same time, like Heko said, there are many situations where that isn't possible.

I give you both an 'A' for your analysis.


Side note:

• VSS will no longer be found in Care Packages. It will remain to be spawned in the map.
