I really appreciate just about every gun, they all have their uses.

Except the pistols, early game fodder, super useless otherwise. Actually pistols are good for looting because holding one is just as fast as running empty handed, and if someone surprises you you at least can get some shots out. I dunno, I'm really stretching to think of a way in which pistols are good.

Revolvers are fun but impractical, P18C is actually not bad either as a mini-uzi style weapon.

 

[jeffc919]

can never get a sniper this game smh

snipers and AR are required for the chicken dinner imo

You can get to the end game without even firing a shot, and once you're there you don't need a sniper. 4 out of 5 of my solo wins have been with the UMP for the kill shot. The other was with the AK in full auto after throwing a grenade close enough to make the guy panic and rush me.

Snipers and ARs with zoom optics are more useful in the mid game for killing people and taking their stuff, or killing people to make your area less contested, or killing people just to kill them.

 

[dtcm83]

101 total hours with this game and I finally got my second solo chicken dinner last night. I do have a couple duo dinners, but I think solo is what I enjoy most in this game, as you yourself are pretty much entirely responsible for your success.

 

[Kioshen]

Good to hear.

Also there's a YouTube channel called Fugglet. Dude has a lot of technical info that can be useful.

Oh man, there's a lot of interesting content too in there. Thanks for the heads up!

Yasssss.

 

[Ourobolus]

I really gotta stop being greedy during the endgame. Made it to the top 10 taking out people from afar with a suppressed scoped AR, then took out the two people that came behind me. Decided to go for their loot and then three more people showed up.

I didn't even need any items

 

[TheRed]

They added grafitti from streamers all over that are competing in the gamescom thing I guess, and I really don't like it. Normally I'm ok with any dumb crossover 4th wall type stuff in games or movies but they just look completely out of place here and bother me...

Is that why I saw an ESL spray last night? I did think it was weird.

Maybe it's just a matter of time until we get neon green / anime character gun skins.

 

[Levito]

First person mode is so much fun, it just adds to the tension that much more. I think I like it better than 3rd person now.

 

[Jamaro85]

duck hunt

I lol'd.

 

[CitizenVectron]

Bought this yesterday. Got to 18th in my first solo game, though I didn't do anything other than getting 1 kill with a pistol. Took me like 3 game to figure out how to use sights lol. Now I just need to learn about which bullets and attachments go to what to start being somewhat efficient looting. Might have to rebind the interact button to E as playing so much Hitman makes to always think to use that button instead of F

Rebinding F to E was the first thing I did!

 

[WhateverItTakes]

Limited Twitch loot price has decreased over the last 2 weeks. When the gamescom hype is over, prices for not so cool items like the simple white/black jacket will do the same. Especially if there is a new limited lootbox on the horizon.

Made the sale, half went to a couple more keys, and the crate I opened got me a tracksuit jacket, so might be deeper into profit if the price holds to next week, which I doubt tbh. Always appreciate a positive steam wallet for nothing though!

 

[bonesmccoy]

In the early game, pistols are totally fine. I prefer them to shotguns.

I saw an ESL spray last night too and wondered if that was new or not. I don't mind toooo much but they are a little out of place.

I've been playing exclusively FP since the solo servers dropped, way prefer it. Gonna get my squad to try it out next time.

 

[Spwn]

I did it! I finally did it! First solo chicken dinner ever! I've had a few wins in duo and squad, but this is so far the best game I've had in PUBG. Glad it wasn't some lousy max 3 kill win.

UMP is king. I have decimated in the end-game at close-mid range with it. Silencers for SMGs are fairly common and easy to find, so you have that benefit as well. I usually will keep a UMP on me for the whole game due to it being great at range on single shot, and clears houses in full auto really, really well. Probably my favorite weapon in the game next to the M416.

It seems every time I get a sniper rifle, I get killed randomly from out of nowhere before I can even fire a shot.

Silencers for them are easy to find, making them a good "shoot the tires out" weapon.

Will you still be able to buy the keys for the Invitational crate after it ends or do you need to buy them now?

 

[Somnia]

They confirmed keys will be purchasable after the crates are gone.

 

[Kadin]

Thanks. Just saw they were trading for $7+ and I certainly don't want to pay a price like that when I can buy them for $2.50. What's the reason for this inflated price on the market?

You're limited to 6 crates per week and people want more than that so they are buying them or are you saying keys are going for $7?

 

[mullet2000]

The actual keys are, it's pretty bizarre.

 

[Kadin]

Yeah the only thing I can think of is that maybe people who don't own the game are wanting to collect the items so they have to buy them via the market?

 

[Palpable]

Encountered someone who glitched their pan last night. He had both his pan & his gun in his hand, so when he was aiming, the pan blocked his face. Good thing he was an idiot & was easily flanked.

Wow that's some advanced CQC.

I hope it'll be the same in one week when I can sell the ones I just bought.

 

[Pachimari]

Got stuck in a door in my very first game today. Now where's that axe.

 

[blurredvision]

So you can only buy 6 keys per week? If they're going for $7, that means it's an easy $27 you can make just by selling your allotment of keys if you don't want them, right?

I feel for all those idiots for I am one. Not the pan just easily flanked. Harsh learning curve. But super fun.

What allotment?

 

[MUnited83]

The thing is that there is no reason whatsoever to buy the keys from the market. By buying them from the market, you will still have the 7 day delay on selling the crate's items just like you would by buying them in-game.

Sweet. Sold my cargo hotpants for $160

[MontyBrown]

Got an Uzi ten seconds in to a game, absolutely rampaged 3 other players with just that and felt like a God.

Ran around for 20 minutes, going into every populated area, couldn't find a soul.

Sniped as I reached the top 8 from God knows who.

This game can be a cruel mistress.

 

[Ourobolus]

That happened to me too. I had to unload like two pistol clips to blow up the door.

 

[OnionPowder]

Jesus Christ.

I know, I've been freaking out all week. I could have sold it for higher if I initially listed it for like $200, but I'm not gonna complain about making $140 after Blueholes cut for spending $5 on crates.

 

[Acinixys]

Smoke grenades are severely underrated

Using them for cover is worthless. Past 150-200m the smoke doesn't render, so snipers can easily pick you off

However, i have gotten at least 15 kills in the past two days by throwing smokes far away from myself, only to have the guy im looking for peek/run out to investigate.

The ESL one has been in before the latest patch, I've seen it around and was ok with it. The new ones are a lot worse, the one with 4 huge streamer faces is really bad.

The smoke stops rendering that close? That's messed up.

LOL can't believe I spotted this guy:

edit: wow that gif's size is tiny

[Divius]

Got a silenced kar98, 5 kills early on, good position etc

Suddenly my net drops which usually never happens

Finally reconnect: YOUR TEAM HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Apparently when you DC your character just keeps walking on forever. My buddy told me I walked through an open field and I got shot from 3 angles, lol.

 

[ryan299]

Just got second in my 5th game ever. Could've got first but got caught from the high ground. Don't think I'll ever do that good again.

Had to swim across the river which took like 3 minutes and almost died from the gas.

This game is awesome.

 

[therealminime]

Any sort of fighting within like 30 feet just feels like a total coin toss. Damage seems utterly unpredictable. Every time it feels like I can get one, maybe two shots off and the other guy is able to kill me and my partner in like 5 bullets. It's so frustrating.

 

[Bread]

I really disagree with Bluehole banning people because their game glitched out.

If you want people to quit the game when their game is glitched out, be clear and convey that to the community. I mean, it's the only thing you can do to avoid a ban; you can't continue and not use the glitch when you can see people through walls. Are you gonna pretend they're not there?

Such a weird banning policy these guys have.

Isn't that what they're doing by banning high profile streamers who break the rules? They wanted to make it clear that team killing wasn't allowed so they banned DrD. They wanted to make it clear you can't take advantage of bugs and exploits so they banned Destiny. Now people know.

Its a Shithole solution for their own problems.

They simply don't give a flying fuk.

I think people are extra pissed because Grimmmz has been publicly doing exploits but hasn't received a ban for it.

I really doubt they favor Grimmz in some way, but one possible reason Grimmz is not banned yet is because he's hiding his match ID with an overlay.

I don't think so either. I don't know if they need the match ID though, as PU has banned based on just watching twitch streams before, like he did with DrD. He's clarified that they can also track your matches anyways (that's how they banned the stream sniper)
