The less of them there are on the market, the more valuable they'll get. Unless another avenue becomes available to get the items they contain. I have six of them saved up.

Interesting stream today. Glad Viss got a win.
This thread is so slow now. GAF getting bored of PUBG?
This thread is so slow now. GAF getting bored of PUBG?
I'm busy playing it
I've had some super-shitty moments in the last few days involving shotguns. The start of the rounds is just bollocks at the moment.
I've also been hit by vehicles a few times when I'm behind cover and they're not even close to me...this was the "moment of impact", it's impossible to judge because other times there's literally inches in it and you survive...
That sounds like a load of bollocks. There was a graph from Steamspy posted in the "PUBG sells 8 million copies" thread that showed there are around ~300k Australian owners of PUBG(which matches with leaderboard numbers), how the fuck is that not enough for FPP matches?
Just include it, if people have to wait then they have to wait, at least give us the option. Playing on AS servers isn't too bad in my experience, but there's no reason not to give us FPP matches on the OCE servers.

The ultra rare items are(The trench coats, I think theres a purple mini skirt in one of them)
So I tried a different plan. I put a car near a spot to see if I could get some Kills. It worked for two kills and then I plan on driving off,but kept missing the drive prompt and just got in the car. Then my daughter comes up and starts asking about Dance class . My lack of concentration causes me to delay pulling my rifle and dying. Fun times Brother.

This is the absolute worst. Why would I want to ride shotgun in a car WHEN I'M THE ONLY PERSON HERE! I get in squads and stuff it makes sense if you have a dedicated wheelman but when I want to get in a car I want to get in the car to DRIVE it.

Note to self: M416 is very hard to control with a 4x scope and full auto....

Just had the chillest of games. Drop over military base and get the rusty power/communications tower for myself, though there are plenty of others on the island. Grab an M4 and an M16 early on with plenty of ammo. Then get hit with a disconnect. Internet is down for several minutes. I launch the game ~15 minutes later and lo and behold. Still chilling on the tower bridge, in the middle of a circle encompassing most of military island. Scramble together a little bit of loot. Circle ends up in the hilly area west of military base. I end up getting 5 kills, every single one of them easy kills on unsuspecting players, to win the game.
This must be what it feels like to be a streamer, sans the honkers and banana suits.

Just had a shitty match where I made top ten
The circle was in the topmost island, and this little corner of the beach was open and pretty safe, so I made a make shift cover by crashlanding a boat and putting a car right next to it to make my bunker
I got an M24+ scope but I did not land ANY hits on anyone. Then I died. Was worth it.

Finally jumped in a bought this. Played two matches...finished like #43 in the first one and then #16 the second and only died due to having to swim to the next circle and I got destroyed by the blue wall. Good stuff. Game is really intense. Never fired a single shot during either match. Haha

I'm expecting just the opposite, once MM is in presumably so will stats/leaderboards which will make FPP even more attractive.
Get fucked Bluehole, my group is sooooooooo sick of playing in lag on AS/NA servers because we much prefer FPP.
Happily wait an extra 30 seconds for a match to play with perfect ping, worst excuse from a dev team I've heard in a loooooong time.

Damn it's a awesome feeling when I jump in with my 3 best friends and we win a squad match on our first match. Finally instant kill was my buddy with a M24 headshot against a guy with a lvl 3 helmet.

I jsut fucking can not land before anyone else tonight. I've been killed in the first 30 seconds more tonight than ever before. It's really getting on my nerves. I'm just suck of always going to the quieter areas at the start....
I guess it was the hipfire and/or lag, but it looks like your reticule was a foot or two away from the person yet they still got hit.

I had my proudest chicken dinner yet. The only gun I could find is the two-shot shotgun, over and over again until I had 60 or so shells. Expected to die when I encountered at decent range. Somehow I managed to run two people over and take out the last three with the shotgun. I don't think I've ever gotten two players in a row, let alone the final three.

I was like.... 1 more game! First win in 30 hours of play.
My heart was fucking pounding. Best circle luck ever. Manage to snipe 2 people with an AKM from inside a shed while they were coming down a hill. The last fight, we both tossed smoke grenades and pushed. I switched to a red dot on my AKM and just opened fire as soon as I saw him.
Also had a VSS kill in the middle of the game. That gun's pretty decent due to the silencer.
And it all started with a punch kill after blocking a guy into a small room by standing in the doorway and not letting him out until we fought to the death

It took me longer than the guy above me, but I got my first win. I had 2 close "almost died" calls, but I healed up and got kills and did it! It's an amzing feeling, I hope you don't mind me sharing my first win.
edit: getting a win in solo marks a win in every 3pp mode now. obviously, solos are the toughest by far.
I have often hid in the UAZ so it is useful in solo too, few times i have used it too shoot people from since if the car has a middle seat you can shoot from inside the car,nobody expects to get shot from the back window of uaz.

Weirdly enough I feel like playing mostly FPP has improved my performance in the regular solo queue.

I feel like aiming with anything but single shot is impossible with a scope.
And I feel like the M16A4 burst mode exists for no reason other than to make you feel stupid for trying to use it.
Maybe there's a clever way to burst at midrange. Long-range definitely misses most of the shots, and close-range if you miss even a couple you'll be dead from anything more reliable.
The burst is great, it has a higher RoF than any of the other assault rifles so if you ever use full auto on ak or 416, the burst works just as well if not better. (especially combined with a compensator). But yes the m16 is primarily a "designated marksmans rifle" in the game really.

Is there a difference in accuracy between regular single shot mode and only shooting once in auto mode?
Åesop;246936724 said:
No there is no difference, but there is a higher chance of sending through an extra bullet or two with how automatic rifles/pistols/submachine guns work. So while you might click down very briefly it may spew forth a few bullets throwing your aim off, why I keep to single shot on my SR/AR for scoping. Most of the time my SMG is in full auto and my AR is hanging on single shot for when I need to scope, as if I need full auto a scope won't help haha.
This is good shit!
I just died trying to use the burst in a midrange situation again. My accuracy must not be good enough since I can at least correct full auto on other guns mid-engagement. The M16A4 means if you miss the burst, you are 95% guaranteed dead because the other person can headshot or full auto before the recoil and burst timer wear off.
M16 burst fire is really good, gotta drag it down a bit after the first shot but I like using it. 50m+ (Roughly) though and it's single shot all the way.
Love cheeky little shots like this too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qoqpi4OBp7A

Well you missed it, if you miss the initial burst on the m416 or ak you are boned too.. and whats midrange? The burst is great for up to 50 meters if you just spam away. If you need to aim more carefully than point at target and shoot you are too far away for burst.
We just have to keep the pressure up really, it is all we can do sadly. It is obvious it will eventually come as it'd be studio suicide to segregate server regions from game modes that others can access, but what frustrates me is the lack of timeline on when we will get FPP considering it was a week difference for AS servers.

I'm guessing them leaning towards prioritizing the mixer link is part of whatever their deal is with Microsoft. Funny how tightly twitch/pubg are interconnected yet now they have to throw mixer into the bunch. Would be crazy in the future to see a single game have two different loot bonuses from two different streaming services.
