I dont think they can remove them from your steam inventory?

no they will stay in your inventory even after they remove the crates
My Tactic is to wait till the price from the crates drops, and then buy alot of them before they get removed,to turn it then hopefuly into profit

No you need a Key to open it, you can purchase it ingame for 2.50$ i think

I'm guessing the key will still be available after the crate availability period?

My friend got the mini skirt on his first box. RIP
lol wtf. Congrats but man, there are some dumb people out there with deep pockets.
I think it stays... might be worth more if you sit on it and sell after the 30 days expires? I dunno.

Anybody else not able to buy keys? I made sure I had steam overlay enabled and everything but it never goes anywhere.

The crates on the right side cost no real money to open.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

so, I bought one of the Gamescom crates. Is it better to sell it for $4 or buy a keep, open it, and sell the item inside?
DarKshodaN
Member
lol the price for the gamescom crate is skyrocketing, last time i checked it was 2,30 and now it is 3,25 ,guess my plan is doomed
costs 2.50 to open so you might as well not gamble and just take the easy money.

Should've listened. Sold another crate for $4, got a key, opened chest, got a yellow tracksuit I can't tell.
Might as well run around in yellow.

Okay, that was a fun and wacky round.
Land compound with three other people... two of them just bug out or something? I'm in a three story, the other person walks out onto a garage roof, I potato 5 rounds (I'd like to blame them teleporting but I was shooting when they weren't), and they decide to pull that trick where you walk along the edge of the short roof wall around the door and poke out the other side, which I almost fall for.
I hear a buggy passing me and I find the compound it's parked at; I shoot silenced UMP at it and tag the guy once, then he pulls up somewhere to heal. I shoot out one of his tires and he smokes and tries to drive off, seemingly only realizing that his tire's gone after trying to go, at which point he abandons it. I manage to cut him off at the little roadside houses with a dropshot, then as I go into another house, a bullet whizzes past my head and hits the door. I realize there's someone sniping at me with an M4 from across the way, I hear a UAZ pull up (but not actually at the houses? I think they stopped to heal from the blue) and they get sniped. I finally try to come out the other end only to see my sharpshooter friend taking the UAZ, at which point I tag him in the head once and then he drives off as I plink at the car.
Anyway I'm outrunning the blue and I see the username I noted during the sniping earlier has died from falling, so nice job getting out of the car, jerk.
....Story doesn't end dramatically, I died at #15 after I found a car, pulled up on a compound at half health and someone on a hill shot me before I got inside because it had walls.

Yay. Memory leak error became worse for me after the update. I went from having to reboot after every game to not even being able to make it through one game at all. Very frustrating. Hopefully they figure that out sooner than later.
(not my picture, but the exact same error)
And no, I don't believe that my 1080ti is running out of memory legitimately. : /

Yeah, it's unplayable for me at the moment, on any server I try.

Just had a sick match. Landed a bit south of Georgepool, went up to quarry looting houses with nobody nearby, found an AR suppressor in a compound. At this point the circle was contracting south, so I got myself a boat and headed to the southern part of the military island. There was a crate in the water, so I got myself a Groza. I fully loaded it. Made myself to the group of houses south of the military base, camped out there, found a 4x scope. See a guy riding a jeep dodging fire, he gets out and is using the jeep as cover despite it moving backwards, manage to cap him. I move out of the ranch house and a guy shoots me, luckily I have a lvl 3 vest so he doesn't kill me. He seemingly forgets about me and starts heading towards the circle, and I manage to pick him off. He didn't see it coming. I start heading towards the circle myself, pick off another guy hiding behind a rock. The circle extremely contracts at this point. It's the last circle of the game, everyones hiding in tall grass. I spot someone switching weapons despite being prone, I fire some shots in his direction, he crouches. I fire through the grass and kill him. Last guy at this point was to my right, stood up, and just shot me while I was prone. I knew he would be on my right since the 2nd to last guy was on my left, but I didn't keep an eye there. qq.
2nd place though. Groza is neat.

That's pretty strange. I had to tolerate having to reboot my game after a few matches for months due to memory leak, and I noticed that last week's patch stabilized memory usage on my end. Then again, for two weeks prior to that patch, I was experiencing a bug that would consistently lock me into a loading screen every other match until the connection to host would time out.
I appreciate Bluehole's consistent rollout of patches, but their QA testing seems wildly uneven, especially with this server lag issue going on right now.

I believe its bugged (from what I heard)
I think it's better to keep for a long time, the price can only go up.
CS GO is a good indicator of that.

Yep, it's fixed.
I don't even know what to expect anymore. Why are prices skyrocketing, when you are able to purchase more with ingame currency on Monday?!
Welcome to market economics 101: it's rarely logical.

My guess is that people are looking at the trajectory of the current new already accessible items as indicators of how the even rare-er items will play out and hedging their bets on the value of the crates from there.
I think prices started rising again because people have seen there are some insane buy offers for the rarer stuff, so that might have influenced it.
The skirts of the free crates are already selling for ridiculous prices, I can only imagine what the Gamescom one will sell for.

My strategy of fucking over people by shooting their tires screwed me over when that turned out to be the last car available, and I spent so long running to the circle that I had no meds and got headshot the instant I tried to put on a bandage in the Top 10.
Speaking of screwing with other people's rides, there was one time I dropped in one of the edge towns . Only one guy went that way. I chase him a bit as I get a pistol, he gets on a boat and goes away. I didn't mind since there was another boat close so I just went to the town, fully available for me to loot entirely without interruption.
Then when the circle is finally closing in through the town, and I make a run to the boat... Only to discover that the dude stole the other boat, and beached the first one, the cheeky bastard.
Thankfully I didn't have to run too much to eventually find a buggy.
Thanks, I found out by testing and then saw this post.
How do you crouch-jump? People mention crouch-jumping out of windows, but if I jump and hold the crouch button Half-Life-2-style, the crouch icon on the lower left doesn't change until I'm on the ground, and nothing seems to be different.

Oh hey I just noticed you can get the Coats in the crates now
That camel one actually blends in with the dirt a bit!

But the regular black coat is up to 238% more cool than the camel one. And being cool matters.

Also in that game: I decided to drop Primorsk and ended up the only one there but near the circle's edge, and I think I gave some poor opportunistic late looter with a UAZ a heart attack after I crouch jumped onto a second story windowsill, decided not to fall, and instead shot him as he ran up the stairwell.
Worth. Shooting out tires is usually what I resort to when I'm convinced I'm losing the fight or just see a car in passing.
I think it's a habit I picked up from Halo where I'd make sure to destroy enemy vehicles at any given chance.
