Do the reward chest box prices reset each week?
Every Sunday, and when the prices get higher, the rewards are not better.
I'm pretty good at gunfights bros. Took on a couple of people earlier with a handgun while they were wielding high power and I took em out. That or they were straight up garb
Oof, played with a fellow gaf member and we did well. Towards the end, my partner was dead and I was in a standoff with a duo. I tried following one upstairs and I got him but his partner put a few good ones in me. I had him cornered upstairs while the circle was closing and he was gonna get caught outside the zone, but so was I and I didn't have much health. I ran out the door and waited for him to come out. He comes out and I shoot at him but I then die because I was outside the circle and had little health. This game is so much fun. Lol.

Man, these RNG drop tweaks are a killer, several games I dropped in and there was nothing on the floor, just had a frying pan and a long hike to the safe zone, needless to say I didn't make it.
Had my first hilarious player interaction last night, I dropped into the radio tower by the military base (one of my favourite spots) and there was nothing there apart from the pan, I went off and came across anothe rplayer coming up to loot, I hit with my pan but he was cool and talking on his mic, was saying lets just chill up here you're safe I have no weapons, then he proceeded to chat over the mic, I tried to drop everything and have a laugh with him but he kept hiding from me then he ran away.

Have they tweaked the loudness of suppressed weapons or is it just a bug with a particualr pistol? I fired off a few shots with a suppressed pistol (indoors) and it seemed as loud as a regular pistol.
Still, red dot on the pistols feels nice, and game is definitely running a bit better for me now.

I think they definitely will.
The mechanics need a lot of finessing and tweaking and tightening - right now it still feels like an ArmA mod, tbh.
Dang!
I literally got killed last night because I was repeatedly jumping at a waist-high wall, haha.
You playing squads? In solos all I ever hear is the N-word, weird insults about Nigeria, and Islamophobic shit.
That's brilliant.
*start watching video*
"Hah, that's not so far away."
*jeep drives off*
"Huh, that's pretty far. Oh, he's shooting again."
*jeep continues to drive off*
"Wow, now that's far"
*shoots, driver dies, car flips*
"o_o"
Just bought it, can definitely see what the hype is about. It's a nice change to have a game where everyone starts on the same level and excluding a bit of luck it's totally skill based instead of grinding a stupid amount of hours for better gear.
Can let it slide a bit as still early access but too many similarities to H1Z1, I mean did they steal their code base or something? The engine looks exactly the same, the timer animations are the same, if I didn't know any better I'd say it was just a mod!

Public proximity chat? Not even once.
This is based on the ArmA engine. I'm not sure if H1Z1 is, too.
If anything this game feels more like an ArmA mod. The way aiming works, the way movement works, etc.
According to Google battlegrounds runs on unreal engine 4 and H1Z1 runs on forge light so I guess they just took inspiration and copied several designs.
This makes sense, since Brendan Greene, the game-developer of Battlegrounds, made a similar mod for DayZ and Arma 2 and co-developed H1Z1: King of the Kill (Source). But the engine for Battlegrounds is Unreal 4.
Ah right, yeah I guess that would explain the similarities! I guess if it ain't broke don't fix it but he could have changed the visual appearance so it didn't look so much like a blatant copy/paste scenario.
You are doing it totally wrong if you can't kill someone with it. I've killed a few with that crossbow. It's meant to be used as a surprise attack against players that don't know you are there
Thanks very much!
That's weird. I had two friends verbally tell me that.
Bizarre. Sorry to be wrong.

I'd also take a GMG code if anyone has one 
Edit: Thanks for the code, jediyoshi!

I haven't followed the news for this game much, just purchased early access and love it though. I am interested in how they're going to develop their rewards...are they waiting until full release to have a decent reward system? Because right now it's the worst thing about the game.
Public proximity, every single time. I was playing with some guys from the PUBG GB discord a couple of nights ago, we were using discord for chat, but I also had the in-game chat open. We've finished raiding the apartments in Yasnaya and spot a bike with a side car. One of our team-mates is dead, so we're set to GTFO on the bike before the blue line kills us.
As we run towards the bike, I hear a new voice.
"I hear footsteps!"
"There's a squad of guys coming building, come help me quick."
"Oh shit, I think they saw me, they're coming to my building now."
"Oh shit, they're surrounding me."
So we set an ambush for his squad coming in, and then brutally murdered him as he shouted "THIS IS F**KING BULLSHIT!"
If he had stayed quiet, or if I wasn't in team-chat, we would have just got on the bike and got the hell out. Instead, we got a shit tonne of meds, and some 4x scopes which were much needed.

So close to my first solo chick din.
Basically had a supply drop fall on my head it was so close to me.
M249
Got 5 kills and was 1 of 2 remaining. I made the mistake of moving first to get to the objective. Guy had an sks way outside of the new circle.

The game is designed to feel more like ARMA than anything else, so that's probably where it came from.

Why are people so fucking retarded on the mics at the start of games?
ctrl+t
because they can do so without repercussion as they are completely anonymous
just mute it
Wait, is proximity chat always on in squad games or is it always push to talk? I'm confused
Right. TY.
Right. TY.
that one's easy. They can broadcast their shitty stuff to 99 other players at the exact same time and their username doesn't even come up while they're talking so no one knows who they are.
Because you haven't pressed the mute button yet.
Ya they stated they didn't want to work on that/monetize it till closer to release. They feel doing that during early access would not send a good message.

Never underestimate the potential for 'throw and hope' grenade action, I can't believe this actually worked

I just watched a video with bullet tracers and muzzle flashes - never seen those before. I assumed the flash hider was utterly pointless...
... he thought I was another filthy camper.
I never understood this mentality. It is literally a last man standing game. I like to run around and stir up shit, but if I'm finding myself in the top 20, I pitch a tent with the best of 'em. Let everyone kill eachother off until its single digits and then its only shoot when I have to, down to the finals.
Bitching about camping in a last man standing game is absurd. Sure a guy like Grimmmz is going to want people to not do that, because he'll win 99% of every gun battle he's in just from skill.

Beautiful grenade kill. I wish I had one my last game. I think it could have worked nicely too. Finished second, was in a similar situation but my potato aim got me killed in the end.

Yeah I love the public prox chat.
It's cancer in the lobby, but in the actual match it's awesome.
