How so? I thought the suspicion that it was ignoring armor was debunked?
Sometimes if you switch to auto it will stay on burst
I'm telling you, try playing with me. I'll show you difficult.I've won the game ONCE out of 124 hours played. I really want to see how the people operate who consistently get top 5 or whatever, since maybe once in that timeframe I've seen a player of that skill level as a teammate.
I've ended up top 3 in solo/duo 5 different times in the last week though.
Join the GAF PUBG Discord. There is usually a good squad/duo there. Since FPP has been added, I'd say I have ~10 FPP squad chicken dinners (that's all I've been playing). It's pretty easy, long jump to a good loot city, play conservative (only go after danger close targets or take suppressed shots) until there are <30 alive (2-3rd circle), hope circles 4+ aren't evil and pick a good spot with cover, let other squads kill each other, and then clean up the scraps.

I think the best I've ever got is 8.
"Just found 3rd best full automatic weapon in the game 5 times in a row
Embrace the UMP!
Micro Uzi > UMP.
Just got one shot killed by a crossbow by a guy with his back turned to me, after painting the wall behind him using an ak and his blood, tonight gets better and better. Ping to London server apparently 25ms. Sigh.
And I still can't figure out how some people are able to keep falling and freefall speed after pulling their chute. I've tried the releasing W thing and it does nothing for me. Someone roughly level with me pulls at the same time and just hurtles toward the ground at full speed.

Well... that explains a lot... I'm at 120-130ms. I constant get wrecked in close quarters engagements around corners. Before I can even react and click, I am dead.

Is the 5 shot shotgun supposed to be 1HK? I keep hitting people with it point blank and they don't die.

Dude has a helmet on.
Looks like you only barely hit his shoulder. The amount of blood splatters are a bit misleading with regards to shotguns.Is the 5 shot shotgun supposed to be 1HK? I keep hitting people with it point blank and they don't die.

In that instance I don't think you got him with the full shotgun spread. You also hit him in the shoulder. If you hit somebody center or upper center mass, they should be 1HK... with that being said, shotguns have been weird for me lately.

I'm a noob. Are you guys running mods for this? I see you guys have stuff like the gun images on your screen.
Go check the options.
Well, that marks the end of tonight's garbage luck I guess.
I feel a tiny bit bad about only getting 2 kills but I wasn't exactly avoiding fights. Dropped in at the farm and looted 3 houses but didn't find anything other than pistols and shotguns so had to run rather than try and take out the two other guys who landed there, one of whom killed the other with an AK and definitely had a lvl3 helmet from what I saw when I watched. Had to stay conservative after that as didn't find anything better than level 1 stuff armour/helmet wise.

The wrongest of opinions. You might have a point comparing both guns without any attachments.
But the UMP gets better with every single attachment. Having a decked out UMP is incredible in terms of controllable damage output.

Another top 10 game ruined by the trash circle mechanics.
That shit needs a rework so badly but I doubt it's anywhere near the top of their priority list.

Doing well, won a fight by the air drop crate, got the drop on a group of people in one of the cities, fully kitted out M24, M4A1, about to get set up in one of the buildings
Circle forces us to rush out into the middle of an open field. Get sniped by someone outside of the circle who is tanking it.
GG.
I get that RNG in terms of loot is a huge part of the game, but when the circle RNG is regularly fucking up good strategic play, something needs to change. Especially when it rewards stacking up healing items and just sitting outside of what should be the out of bounds area and shooting into it.

He had to run to the next circle and died so he mad.
If you are within 10 meters of the guy... otherwise... no. A fully kitted Vector is the best SMG up close. But the UMP is still the best considering all factors.

I've had it end exactly once, in the middle of Mylta. I ran through the diner before taking the final kill, and my dinner.
Urban battles are awesome when the circle is minuscule.
Trying to 'set up' somewhere and expecting to defend it until the end is a fool's game though. The mechanics are so that it explicitly discourages that kind of play.
You continuously got to adapt to the boundaries of the circle and make your plays based on that. The strategy to camp out of the circle is a risky one and will go wrong way more often than it actually turns out fruitful.

"You were probably moving as you shot.
Shotguns shoot a ray (line) from the barrel to a position, then the pellets spawn outward from the impact point.
It does not shoot 9 separate projectiles, which is a primary reason shotguns feel random as fuck at close range, and overpowered at range. If that first projectile misses, you miss almost entirely.
This is also why shotguns feel overly strong at range. If the gun shot 9 separate projectiles, the probability of a number of pellets hitting a target at range to deal significant damage is low. But with how shotguns are implemented, if that first projectile hits you at range, you can easily have 7+ pellets hit you... which is just bull."

You have like 2 minutes to move before the circle even starts to move.
I say don't take criticism from salty people who died to circles
He had to move though. Shit's fucked yo

Did he have fun?

Shooting isn't the only thing you do to win a round.
First squad game I played we won, between the four of us we shot at one guy the entire round, the last guy, to win.

Well I had a fun round where a guy came into my house, proned for a second before running into a field, and then I actually managed to lead correctly with an Uzi at like 100m to kill him, then I realized I had a trillion AR/SR attachments but only a shotgun and Uzi, then a crate landed right next to me but also near Pochinki, then I nearly blew up a passing UAZ heading to the crate with a shotgun but the window got in the way for the last 1-2 shots, then I killed a guy with a lucky choked shotgun headshot when he jumped past a crack in a wall, then I nearly got a guy running past church in the blue. I actually forgot I was in the blue as he winged me, and right before I could pop up to shotgun him as he charged me, I died outside the playzone.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised there are people ITT defending objectively poor mechanics in the game they like.
Gamescom tourney literally highlighted how trash the circle mechanics are but defense force gonna defend

Nah I sat right next to him and watched him play. Dude literally did nothing. Or let me say this: not only did he not shot his gun once, he never saw anybody! The whole game was like this:
A: "I saw somebody"
Him: "Where?"
A: "Never mind I killed him"
Of course he did, on my laptop no less. I was just so salty that I let him play on my laptop for one round and he got a chicken dinner for nothing. Should've been me.
Gamescom highlighted how shitty the scoring system is, not the circle itself.
I just won a duo match where I didn't hit a single bullet. I did however die in the end phase which enabled me to tell my buddy where the last guys were. So I did feel helpful!
I don't think I have ever taken someone seriously after they use those three words together.
