A super powerful sniper rifle and assault rifle, which can only be found in crates.
Please enjoy.
I mean, I hope not.
A slug shotgun ammo would be interesting if it worked with normal guns, but that's not a weapon. A new shotgun with slugs could work I guess. A new pistol would be kind of boring. Throwing knives would be hilarious.I've been trying to switch to this too, I'm way too inconsistent with spraying anyway so I might as well try to learn how to fan my m1 better. My issue now is I need to run around with my red dot/holo on by default so if I run into someone close with a 4x I'm not screwed. I died at least 3 times yesterday late circle because I had a 4x on my scar/m16 instead of a red dot.
New weapon? Damn, i'd love a medium-damage LMG or something. Or another good bolt-action rifle. Maybe add a bipod accessory that only works on ledges or prone.
Make it rare, but not too rare to be crate-only.
Crate-bound single shot RPG-9 would be awesome as well, or slug ammo for the shotguns.

probably took out the tommy gun from the supply drop and balanced it by nerfing the mag and adding attachment slots, other than that i would really like a winchester, could be used as a weaker sniper for early game.

It's another sniper rifle but the Barrett 50 cal would be a thing of pure fear.
Hearing that pop off in game would make me run the other way lol.

Rule of thumb is to usually run around with short range sights because odds are if you're going to have to fight someone at long range you'll have more time to switch to a different scope than at short range.
So, we are playing 4's right now and we had one guy afk, so we rode the plane to the end of the map. There was 35 afk people farming coins. Thats 35 percent of the players being bots. Thats insane.
edit-. i i went to the house to get a gun, my buddy said that it was about 50 afk'ers, when it was all said and done, 3 min into the game, there was 36 people left.

I tried it maybe an hour ago in duo FPP, and I think there were 3 AFK / crashed people max, and 1 other person trying to farm them (who I killed).
I wonder why squad would have so many more AFK? It doesn't make any sense because you should get less BP from squad games, right? Unless they're doing it simultaneously with 4 accounts somehow.
I've always thought that three random chutes should not open at the start of every round
Yeah, its funny because I usually follow that rule but my 4x aim is so atrocious that I've been trying to force myself to use it more, even in non-ideal situations. Still doesn't make my mistakes any better though, so I'll probably just go back to running around with a red dot on.
By the way, does anyone know if holding your breath affects recoil at all? I know it reduces gun sway, but does it modify the recoil pattern at all?
One of us! One of us!

I've heard people say this but I've waited until the end to drop in three different matches and there were zero AFK people. Just a few regular players pretending to be AFK.
It's easily the primary game mode for this forum.
That's why I was wondering what game mode and server. Squad seems to have it happen more often.

Squad FPP NA/EU servers are the most likely you'll encounter these mass afkers
OCE has barely any compared to the earlier days. I thought there would be tons with how the NA servers seemed plagued by them but nothing really. Most of the people dropping at the end either fly off or if they do fall to the ground realise no one is afk and run off.
I finally got my chance and had same experience- mowed down two armored foes at mid/close as if they were paper. Groza is simply the best gun I've come across.
I'm wondering what people think is the worst gun?
For me it's definitely S1897; I think I'd rather have the P92 in most circumstances. I also get surprisingly bad results with the Vector.
The revolver is ass, and I feel the micro-uzi sucks too.
But that doesn't mean i'm not picking up an uzi if I require something that just vomits bullets for CQC.
we only play FPP, i have a screenshot of it, but there was someone with a gun, so i had to try to SS and run. i got killed shortly after with a shotgun. lol

Yeah. It's because if a single person in a group crashes, the rest of their group will usually log out as well. Randoms who get paired into a 3 man group instead of a 4 man one will usually leave as well.
I mostly play squad FPP in NA. The AFKs don't get this bad until around 2AM and later, and it's mostly in squad since we don't see it in duo. I'm not making shit up when I say it's 15-20 or so every single match with a squad or two usually trying to farm them. When I play in prime time(7-10PM) it's usually around 5-10 AFKs with maybe a couple farmers on them.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this can really destroy the flow of entire matches to the point it's just not fun. Again, missing out on 20-30 people at the start of every map and having the drops be super messed up as a result makes finding people way harder than it should be.
I'm pretty sure they do it in squad because the queue times are like 5X faster during offpeak hours. I've seen solos queue into squad FPP just to farm them then they try to commit suicide ASAP.
With the volume of AFKs across all the games I'm in, I'm 10,000% sure it's bots farming.

Hate to self bump, but does anyone know? Been bugging me trying to figure this out
It doesn't really answer your question directly, but this video covers freefall and parachuting speeds and distances pretty thoroughly.
If someone can script something to start a game once the previous one finishes, they can script something to wait until 5 seconds before the plane blows up and jump then.

I think the vector pretty much requires the extended mag. 13 is just too low for how fast it shoots. Whenever I get a fully decked out vector, I never have a chance to shoot anyone before I find a gun I prefer (usually a sniper). My end-game is always AR + Sniper. Submachine guns are just to tide me over.
They just need to start detecting repeated AFK players and banning them.
Any kind of trap kind weapon would change game too much and kill it.

Yep, get mines or tripwires, hide in a Attic with stairs and plant one at the top, rinse and repeat, would break the game slightly.
However, add in mine detectors....

Fuck mines. Add a heartbeat sensor.
One encourages more camping. The other discourages camping.

Even I AFK during the spawn island. I only tab back intro the game once I hear the plane sounds.
Underrated Vector attribute: holding attachments for ARs and SRs until you find them.
But seriously with my potato aim I can burn through the 25-shot clips without killing an armored opponent.

Mines would be literally the worse thing to add to this game.
Anyone who thinks mines are a good fit for this game, please never ever work in game design

I didn't know you could climb things.. :3
You can't, not yet.
That would be funny
Movement would be easy for a bot as well. They could check for things that aren't as easy to fake, like finding loot, opening doors or not dying outside of the circle. If someone consistently fails to do these things, they could be an AFKer or a bot.

I think it was their point. The video is from a dev.
Hence the not yet. I'm aware it's a video from a dev, they've had work in progress videos of vaulting before.

So after all the talk about revamping the update schedule, we get 2 extra days on the test server before changes go live?
