:( will waiting for Ryzen 5....

No, wait for the next patch(1 week max?)
They already released it 2 days ago and it gave a huge FPS boost but some people had problems with crashes so they pulled it back.

Your i3 should be fine, Skylake i3@3,7Ghz has amazing IPC.

Its a airdrop item.

SKS and Kar98 is classified as snipers, the M28 and AWM are airdrop items too.

So wait, the plane that flies by during a match drops off boxes of items/weapons? Because I always wondered why the airplane would fly by again and again.

what's the mechanics behind the redzone?

got 5 redzones on me back to back yesterday so I figure it cannot actually be random

Oh, I thought the planes were just doing bomb runs. Do air drops get a marker on the map or do you just need to watch one drop and try follow it?

No marker on the map as far as I know. You just have to watch for it... or at least that's what I've been doing. Had one drop pretty much right in front of me on the road and got an AWM out of it.

Just watch for it, it also has a flashing beacon. However they only time I tried every man and his dog was there.

So what's the consensus on this? Is it the best one of these so far? I've watch people play mods and the H1Z1 survival mode but they always seemed jank.

I'm seeing a lot of people into this, but I can't tell if it's because it's actually good or because it's just the new streamer hotness. The Early Access label is almost always a no go for me

You tell me this isnt awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4KP3GLf6jA&t=3m52s

There is funny and bug stuff at start of the vid if you want to see those too.

Was planning on getting the Ryzen 5 for while now , I didn't realize this game was just released the i3 is usually find for 1080p gaming.
 
1080 an i7 4770k and the game runs son 40fps in warm up on very low lmao

That doesnt sound right, I have a 970 i5 6600k and get mostly 6 everything low and Ultra textures. FPS drops coming out of the plane and entering towns but is smooth enough otherwise. VSync on too.

I think those boxes are arbitrary for the most part.

I'm doubtful that the Uzi and the M4 have the same fire right for example. The damage boxes are likely correct as the Scar/M4 should do the same amount of damage as it uses the same ammo.

Not sure if you are reading that right. The M4 and Uzi dont have the same anything.

I think this is just base damage that doesn't take into account damage drop-off. Not sure, though.

There are no source for these calculations and no official stats. Armor for one have consistent protection value while also everything regarding stats is in flux.

RoF includes reload in the calculations and the AKM is more "stable" than the M16A4, which obviously has much less recoil and have better accuracy than the M416 and SCAR at range.

The guy who made this also said he found it on the internet somewhere

Also this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...FJLBsXPIAGFMNj4/htmlview?usp=sharing&sle=true goes against the image but is also wrong.

Armor does not reduce damage taken, but say if you have a 100 rated vest and a bullet does 110 damage, the vest will break and you'll take 10 damage, at least thats what I got from PU in the discord when asked.

Doesn't really matter either when when it always takes like 12 shots to kill someone else with no armor while you die in 3 shots with level 3 armor. :(

Well I could be wrong but to my understanding thats how it works.

Arms/legs do take reduced damage over chest/head so if you hit people 7+ times that might be why.

Also armor only works for the area they visibly cover. Level 3 helmet protects face, other does not.
