If there's a choice I almost always go for one of the 556 ones. The AK can be alright as a pseudo SKS, though.

I just had a weird ass bug where I got caught in a walking crouch state while getting shot even as I pressed multiple buttons to stand up and sprint.
If you have a compensator it at least works at 4x, not sure about 8x.
I wonder if that was the thing in the highlight reel where someone was riding a motorcycle crouched on top of the seat.
Is there any gun in this game that just feels as satisfying to use as the Kar98?
Because I absolutely love that gun. Even more than the M24 or AWM. It just feels so right.

The single bullet difference matters sometimes and the accuracy at a lot of ranges isn't too bad. It's not a bad gun to have at all. All the assault rifles have pros/cons and can work just fine. The only real stand out is the M16, it's pretty easily the best AR.
Had the same bug happened to me. After a few seconds I started panic mashing spacebar and it got unstuck?

I've been on vacation most of this past week, what's the general consensus on when to sell Gamescon items? Held onto 5 keys & crates and was lucky enough to get the black skirt on Sunday which was going for like $150 at the time. Should I sell this stuff ASAP? Hold on to it? Halp.
Just wait it out until quantity is less than 2,000. That's when it'll get more expensive due to rareness.

I got this game on Monday and played one solo match while I waited for two friends to finish a duo. Then they picked me up for Squad TPP. This was our third, my fourth game.
I've been hooked all week playing this, having a hard time hopping off to play D2. Got 2nd place last night in a duo with one of my friends, I felt my heart pounding, saw the last guy and hit him with one burst from my vector and he he scoped me. I was so disappointed in myself, but the guy earned that win with his insane reaction time.

Twitch has been down for at least an hour.
I just waited until the end of the plane run and acted like an AFK player. There were about 10 of us and only 2-3 were actually AFK. I punched two people to death then the rest of us survivors were mowed down but someone that went and got a gun.

I tested this too, I think half the people "afk" at the start were just taking a shit or something lol.
Here's why you never have the Washer running while playing this game. In a small building and never heard the guy pull up on a car and he shot me in the back. Its at the end.

I get an 8x silenced SKS after winning Prison then a camper kills me in the most bizarre spot ever. I think he must have been camping the entire round as I didn't see or hear him there. More than slightly annoying, that's the first SR silencer I've seen in about 30 hours lol.
My last game I had a silenced Scar and a silenced Scar-L. Lots of meds, just about a perfect kit. I got to #8 or so and some guy killed me.. I was right next to a tree and kept running around it, trying to get cover, but he could see me from just about any angle. No idea where he was. Until that, I was feeling pretty good about my chances.

Man, I'm so unbelievably bad at close range encounters. I miss every shot and mostly the enemy somehow seems to know where I'm moving/going/shooting at any time. 
Not sure how to improve on that because there's not much room for practising. I see someone near me, shoot him five or six times without killing him. He may even get the chance to reload the weapon while I'm going into defense mode and run for cover. That's a typical close range battle for me, haha.

I'm terrible in close range because the game stutters like fucking crazy for me when I'm shooting someone/someone shoots me at close range. Like a micro freeze every shot. Could be lag, could be frame drops, could be whatever but I have no issues in longer ranges.
Am I crazy or does your game look super oversaturated. The colors are pretty bright.
That's the power of reshade I'd imagine. Mine looks pretty similar.
My game looks nothing like that.

I couldn't go back to default after using Reshade, I made a video showing on and off, default is so grey and dull. https://streamable.com/82t7h
I tweaked mine so it wasn't quite as vibrant.

What kind of machine are you running. Just trying to get comparisons for another build.
Man, me too. I've been kicking ass in Duo/Squad FPP. Hopefully it's out of beta next patch.

First twitch goes down for a few hours. Then my internet just stopped working around ~12:15am. Cox cable, east coast. I couldnt watch, now I cant even play!
What is "reshade"?

It's a post-processing injector that's found some use for people in PUBG to add more saturation to the colours and sharpen the screen.
Thanks. I'll check it out.

Got my third solo FPP win. Sometimes the best action is inaction during the final 10 or so people.
Also, roughly 30 hours played and I still haven't seen or picked up a KAR98. Super rare or what?

Whoops, 900 MB patch.
They unfortunately don't use the Steam patch notes section, and there aren't patch notes on the Steam forum yet. No patch notes on the official forum either but I assume it's coming.
*edit*
From Twitter, "We are currently updating new leaderboard system and getting rid of Gamescom graffitis and Twitch account link icon."
Hooray for no graffiti!

Holding down is a tighter hipfire.

Thank Ye Gods
No more shitty team graffiti all over the map!
How often do you guys come across rifle suppressors? Those things are incredibly powerful.

IDK maybe every 4th game or so? They're quite easy to find if you get a lot of kills.
Is it useful in any way, or is it better to ADS or just use hip fire?
I'm not at all an expert. But, I think it's good if you have an SMG or assault rifle with lots of attachments and are close range because it's faster than aiming down sights and you can adjust your aim more easily. The last game I won was pure holding down hipfire going around a corner on a nearby opponent. The UMP is nice with holding hipfire because you can quietly strafe through buildings ready to full-auto someone.
If you're not trying to clear a building and they're further away, ADS is almost certainly better.

I never seem to find them by looting, but I occasionally find them on bodies.
Question for those on 8gb of Ram (or less I suppose): do you guys get terrible, terrible stutters in the first like minute of a match? I've got this on an SSD, but my framerate says 60fps or higher but I'm stuttering like crazy trying to do basic stuff like walking (and the game may sometimes hitch).
It's honestly annoying as hell since my ram usage doesn't exceed 7gb according to Afterburner.
Only hipfire if you have no time to ADS or if you're right up someone's asshole. Otherwise ADS is vastly superior.
Not really, the AKM is a great fu ll auto short range weapon. But it is a pretty terrible long range weapon due to recoil and slow bullets. The 5.56 weapons are typically much better used with scopes and at longer range thant he AKM. But for close range combat its a beast.
It is useful, BUT it has really bad movement penalty and it always feels like you can move and shoot this way which often makes it feel utterly useless in my experience. So basically it can be a quick way to shoot but you still need to stop to hit.

I've played for five hours and I've seen one but never grabbed it as I was filly kitted out already. Was one of those supply drops, the first one I'd ever seen and I didn't linger long as I was shitting myself.
I believe you can kill trade in this game if both bullets where int he air, but that just doesnt happen. Killtrading in online games is not like that, because the latency and tickrate adds several hundred milliseconds of delay between your shots registering. Without mechanics in place to prevent killtrade 90% of all short range duels would end up with both people dying, and it sucks ass.
