Why would you want them to get good? Watching their wacky hijinks gives me life.

At least get a kill or two. These preparations for nothing is kind of depressing.

There aren't even any hijinks to talk about, they just collect thing and get downed pretty fast

Being in the center of the circle can be a very bad place to be. Especially later in the match.

You want to avoid people being able to shoot at you from multiple angles.

in my experience everywhere is a bad place to be towards the end of the match lol. I meant more like, if I happen to land around the center of the circle at the start of the match and I luck into decent starting equipment, it seems foolish to risk running around, but at the same time, sitting in a house or whatever for 5-10 minutes isn't very exciting. I just feel like I rarely have a match end satisfyingly, ie. with me NOT being shot by someone I never saw.

I'd love an infrequent but not rare binoculars drop, that'd give you a chance of surveying an area for people even if you didn't luck into a 8x scope or whatever. Because scopes can be disgustingly OP.

My stream died.

Ironically getting too good a start can make the early game boring, that's true. Taking risks with good equipment is really something you do for entertainment, rather than it being good play.

Which is why I usually try to drop on high traffic areas (which also have the best loot) and fight my way out of there. Makes for some short matches but i also rarely have a match without kills. If i'm tired of dying early, i can try a slower approach to mix things up.

I just go to punch someone immediately. It's the only way to feel alive.

 

[Santiako]

They need Vinny to kickstart the fun situations.

I think I'm gonna start doing that. I usually try to either go far out of the plane's flight path to some isolated houses or I try to land on a roof of one of those big apartment buildings, that usually gets you some good stuff.

Dance Ryckert

 

[hitgirl]

chat broken?

 

[Ulumsk]

chat broken?

As usual.

 

[Twin Tails]

They should drive to all the supply drops they see.

 

[Santiako]

They got fucked two ways.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Death Island.

 

[julesodies]

They should go for an urban area so they get into CQC fights where positioning and aimskills dont really matter.

 

[EvilChameleon]

Maybe they need to break from this game until another map comes out.

 

[Twin Tails]

someone tell them about holding breath while aiming

 

[Goron2000]

Why does Alex just stone face ignore all calls of team mates being shot, it's like he has some sort of mental defence mechanism.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Them talking during cutscenes is really starting to get on my nerves and i've already beaten the game so i'm not watching this for the story like most people probably are.

 

[Red UFO]

I'm pretty sure he just panics and freezes up.

 

[hitgirl]

As usual.

bummer, that's the best part!

 

[Incandenza]

Waypoint have probably been doing the best of GB/WP/Polygon, despite only having two people.

 

[| Praxis |]

No Vinny at all?

Ever played those games? Beginngers get super focussed and get insane tunnel vision.

 

[kiyomi]

Waypoint have probably been doing the best of GB/WP/Polygon, despite only having two people.

They've also had some of the most interesting scenarios. That one where they got stuck in the two-story outpost, Patrick accidentally smoking the building, and then a random sniper killing the guy that busted into the house was amazing.

 

[William]

Lol at Dan just booking

 

[Twin Tails]

Lol dan is long gone

 

[Santiako]

Not even when they land amogst 20 other players the kill anyone.

 

[FantasyFreak07]

Dan just left them there, lol.

 

[kiyomi]

omg ben pls

omg dan pls

Check and mate

 

[faridmon]

Lol Dan

what are you doing?

 

[Valtýr]

Def. Duo is better overall than squad though. It's the sweet spot for multiplayer.

Earlier today they got into a suuuper psychological house siege situation that was really fun to watch.

 

[Twin Tails]

So far, Dan got a kill.

Patrick is Dan in the video game world.

Yeah, I saw it. Austin was super confused when Patrick said he couldn't see a smoke go off right in front of him. Their father-son RP has been kinda amusing too. Austin really loves the game, I feel.

 

[William]

I would love if they did some duo games

 

[Brakara]

Austin really loves the game, I feel.

He really does: https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/art...ayerunknowns-battlegrounds-the-better-it-gets

And their breakfast streams are great too.

 

[patapuf]

he did it!

 

[FantasyFreak07]

The guns have alternate firing modes, right?

 

[Twin Tails]

The guns have alternate firing modes, right?

Yes

 

[Valtýr]

I'd love to watch Dan/Vinny duo. I feel they'd be the most likely to get really serious about being tactical.

 

[patapuf]

The guns have alternate firing modes, right?

Yeah, most have single and auto.

 

[Ulumsk]

Alex mvp.

 

[Twin Tails]

They should all follow dans lead
he has bloodlust

 

[Dany]

omg lol

 

[Brakara]

Using a 4x scope in a moving vehicle. Geez.
