Biggest thing for me about this game is knowing when to engage or not and not to shoot at folks miles away and give yourself away when its not needed.

Partly why I like it so much, i'm not as good as lots of players but I can still have a good game by using my brain a bit

Sometimes I will pick stuff up purely to stop others getting it, so I will pick up ammo next to a gun so that they have no ammo, I will pick up addons that I dont need so that nobody else can get them. 1 round I actually had 4 4x scopes, 2 8x scopes and a 2x scope on me, just to stop others from getting the scopes.

Good point actually

If you ever go to a crate and find an AWM that you don't take or don't have time to take, just steal the ammo and drop it somewhere random

Same. I'll fill my bag as much as I can with ammo, scopes and attachments for guns I don't have just to make sure some other fekker doesn't get them!

Besides pressing W once out of plane, any other way to get to ground faster, everyone seems to hit ground much quicker than me, even when we jump out same time.

If you can hit around 230km/h, let go of W right as your chute opens - you are kinda "forced" down a bit which can help shave 5 - 10s or so. Other than diving straight down.

as above

Yeah slightly.

Checked via lobby screen runway races.

There also seems to be a bug where you run at that speed regardless

Or just drop the k98 your mate gave you and don't tell him

Not bitter about it

That video contradicts itself about armour dont it, he says armour 1,2 or 3 all give the same protection, the only difference is, you can carry more, then he goes onto say, better the armour the more shots it can take, surely if the better armour can take more shots, aint that better as it wont start taking your health, or am i hearing it wrong.

Mynight · 18 May 2017 at 00:18

Always always leave something useless in a crate after looting it.

A crossbow or pistol and ammo is my goto.

Or puffy jacket if at hand

Yea, that was a bit contradictory and the first part about giving the same protection is wrong.

Had 4 games last night and had shocking games which is unusual for me. Got sniped within 2 mins on 2 rounds both with an sks.

3rd round i spent the entire game in the blue zone until 15 players left. Got in a great spot stalking another player for a good shot then took an awm shot in the back of the head from somewhere.

4th game I walked up a hill only to get caught in the crossfire between 2 bush dwellers.

Best finish last night was 14th with average being 25th approx. Hurt my solo top 10 percentage which is now down to 22%

I also magpie loot to stop other players getting it, but once our squad is equipped. We start dropping extra bits in the fields/ grass. That way if we die we are not loot pinata!
