I wish they had a training range. Having not played PUBG since 2019 I have like 0 muscle memory for these weapons so my SKS lead is way off and my recoil control on anything besides SMGs/M4's is dogshit. Game is definitely fun, but I think solo mode is kind of a wash. Getting something like a gas soldier versus a sniper 1v1 is no bueno. Having a X40 do 250 damage base in a single shot is just silly. I headshot some guy with a blue helmet and still did something like 276 damage.
Squad play is very fun when you synergize though. We were getting rushed after a revive so I Tactical Force Fielded the guys (slowing them) while my teammate nuked our position and we only had one of us get out, but the other team got sploded real nice. Driver in Squads is the biggest bully of them all. The hardest counter to him is a flame thrower or RPG, but otherwise those dudes are omega dangerous.
HOWEVER, certain classes are completely depedent on getting their 'alternate' ability.
Shotgun Master? I hope you have jump! Lvl 19 and don't have it? You're worthless!
Strike Force? Sure hope you've got Air Walk or you're basically every other soldier with a sprint button every 50 seconds.
Driver? If you can't jump out of your car at full speed and take 0 dmage, you're just a VERY LOUD flanker!
I think class balance outside of Solos is pretty good. There's only one or two classes I tend to reroll off of (Swat, Marine) and they're not even that bad, they're just not that fun to me. Marine can be good with some smoke stuffs and silencers give him 30% more damage, but I rarely get silencers and never run them on my AR's. Swat has a bunch of Indoor bullshit (7% more damage? WOW!) that doesn't seem to matter 90% of the time. His Blackout is good, but has a ramp up time which can be annoying and FUCKS your team as they can't see anything either.
Overall definitely worth paying 0 dollars for! Have seen some cheaters, but I'm not sure how many as certain classes get radar and stuff so it's hard to tell if they're using ESP/toggles or you're just livemarked or something. If you like PUBG guns and don't mind Apex Heroes (with more variety) then this is a good game to try out.
