Do you just mash the button? That's really weird. Does it not hurt accuracy?
For the people I've seen doing it, I'd be hard pressed to mash a button that quickly.

Same I tend to shoot a lot during firefights.
I guess my sick stunts had to come to an end. I mean I was asking for it to happen by just being too cool for PUBG.

Old bug that has come back in the latest patch, most likely was triggered by something backend.

Ha, riding bikes is pure fun for me. I ALMOST make a cool stunt from time to time but it usually ends with a hilarious fall or anticlimactic stumbling.
Btw...How is your workflow for these kind of short vids? Do you use a tool to clip it? I don't do that stuff normally but yesterday I had so many ridiculous situations in squad games, I wish I somehow recorded that.
I'm just using Shadowplay for the recording, have it set to 10 minute saves and just manually push them out when I've done something cool/end of round. For cutting and editing I just use Avidemux, really good free tool that is actually surprisingly powerful and incredibly fast at processing.

One of the most ridiculous endings to cap off one of the most ridiculous games I've played in over 400 hours. I've been a part of some health kit races in the closing circle but never like this.

The silenced Mini14 feels like cheating.

Yeah in duos and squads I use a lot more ammo too for rather obvious reasons lol. But I find that 90 bullets is enough to get me through 2-3 solo fights without looting. But obviously winning fights is more ammo.

I think it's gonna get nerfed.
You just hear too many people talking about how amazing it is for a non-crate weapon. It's an auto-include when you find it, where as a lot of the other guns come down to preference.
My ideal setup is a Kar98 and a Mini14, which is just.... weird. The downside being that SR attachments are harder to find.
Agreed. If you get caught in the open and start getting shot at by someone with it you are pretty much dead. No amount of sprinting and zig zagging your way to cover is going to save you unless the shooter can't aim at all. With other guns you might have a chance at getting to cover if it isn't that far away. At least that's been my experience in the early going since the last patch.

I don't know if it's just because of how much STALKER I played back in the day butI keep feeling like the VSS should take SMG attachments lol.

I feel like you barely need a compensator. It just takes it from laser gun you need to slightly control to pure laser gun.

It'll probably get more recoil.
I do hate that it's considered a sniper rifle, though. I keep finding AR suppressors every time I have a mini-14.
If anything, the rarity of SR attachments are the only thing balancing it right now
Maybe nerf the base recoil such that you need a compensator to get the same base recoil it has currently.
I guess I haven't used it all that much... so my suggestion might not be enough of a nerf
Well yeah, but getting that thing makes it a death ray , it's just alot of fun to shoot

Saw the thing that Shroud was banned for. Eh. That was actually a dumb thing to ban for, in my opinion.
Bananaman gets into Shroud's car. They just talk. They don't actually work together. Shroud says they're just going to drive around until they get killed with no intentions to actually kill any other players. But... they accidentally run somebody over (it can happen... I've done it). And because Bananaman was in his car when it happened, that means they were "teaming."
I think anyone can see that this is not the kind of "teaming" that people have a problem with in solo queue. They didn't join the game together and didn't run around like a 2-man squad murdering people. But I think the devs used this in order to "set an example" that they will in fact ban for this and used a high profile streamer to get the message across. Good thing it's only a short temporary ban, I guess.

I'm sure they did. But I think this is the thing he actually got banned for because their encounter resulted in another player's death. I mean you could argue that if Bananaman never found Shroud in that game, they never would have gone on a joyride and killed that player. But then again, Shroud would have killed a lot more people if he just offed Bananaman and played that round normally. So... I dunno. If anything, Bananaman handicaps Shroud because it causes Shroud to just fuck around.
I have a problem with 2 (or more) people joining a game together, landing together, looting together, and killing together. That puts the other solo players at a disadvantage (something I'm dealing with a lot in Fortnite BR which doesn't have squads atm). But this... is just (mostly) harmless fun. *shrug*
Theres no grey areas about it. Theyre playing solo. You see someone else, you refuse to attack them and get in the same car as them... thats teaming. I doubt the kill had anything to do with it.

I still don't agree. But that's because I know that if I'm in a game with Shroud, I HOPE Bananaman is also in that game and I hope he distracts Shroud enough that he doesn't become an unstoppable death machine so that I might actually have a chance. In this case, Bananaman doesn't help Shroud. He hinders him. Which is exactly why stream sniping is against the rules.
This is a scenario that only occurs because of stream sniping in the first place. Normal "teaming" doesn't look like that.
But anyways, it's just my opinion and I realize most people want to draw a hard line in the sand. And that's fine.
I see where youre coming from, but they have to take that hard stance. If not, then every single ban of teaming has to be analyzed and scrutinized to make sure it was actually "teaming". Thats an impossible task.
Yeah, it's a good thing that it only occurs rarely. Not only do you get in less firefights, finding a vehicle is a frustrating task more often than not.
Most of the fog games I've played have had a crazy amount of players alive for the smaller circles at the end which is just too crazy. I think they just need to tone it down a bit.
Yup same experience here. The smaller circles are chaos.
I mean, we even won a game on a beach with no cover available for anyone, and it took firing in a general direction to scare them into movement. But before that, we had no vision on them, and that was a tiny circle on a flat surface.
It's basically the equivalent to people being prone or crouching through a wheat field, all game.

Only got the fog map once so far this weekend.
Woof, I am addicted. I played 3 hours yesterday and am gonna play at least that today.

That was the only fog game I've played where there were that few people at the end. A few we played yesterday had like 40 people in a <400 meter circle, it was insane.

That's not the video he got banned for. This is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUiZLPFK_Ng
Shroud gives bananaman an uzi and tells him to go kill the person in the building shooting at him, ban was 100% percent warranted. Shroud got off easy, teaming should be much longer than three days. He created an alt account so it's a moot point, anyway.
This is false. He didn't get banned for that, he got banned for giving the bananaman an uzi and tell him to go kill someone. It's absolutely teaming, and the ban is 100% justified.

Haven't seen that one... ROFL. "WHO CAME?"
Yeah ok. Temp ban is fine for that I guess.

Ummm...Has the performance improved dramatically for anyone else? Everything's been much more smooth lately. Even the houses only take 10-20 seconds to load now (after landing, no ssd) which is much better than the previous 1-2 minutes.

Yep, especially once i disabled inventory character models. The game no longer makes my fans go into jet engine mode. And it just runs super smooth, I am able to crank it up to high for stable 60. I used to keep it at medium with view distance on low.
Oh yeah funny thing, view distance doesn't affect player models.
Anyone else getting a visual bug with weather // scopes? With rainy weather the last couple games i'd played (even after client reboot) resulted in the rain being frozen in the air. Also getting some unusual visual bug where the edges of some objects turn a bit purple with a scope.
