Sounds interesting !

Like the changes apart from the confusing selection of grips.

Ahhh, the SLR. That will be a beast. It was what I used when I first joined the army before the SA80 was introduced. It was a beautiful weapon - 7.62 of pure stopping power.

You don't see recoil in the replays/deathcams.

Other Item Balance

Both SR quickdraw magazines and SR extended quickdraw magazines now spawn only in care packages

We’ve reduced the spawn rate for AR extended quickdraw magazines

Click to expand...

Personally I don't understand the logic behind those changes?

I think its because now DMR's share the AR mags, the only weapons that require SR mags are the M24 and AWM, so putting them in care packages kinda makes sense.

To be fair, if it deals damage, Shroud will make it look good

Never thought it would come to this but can someone recommend me a pair of headsets? Nothing fancy for around £20-30.

Ah missed that bit - it makes sense.

If you can stretch to ~£50 the HyperX Cloud headset is very good value, lots of us in here using them IIRC

If you keep an eye out you might be able to pick up a pair of HyperX Cloud 2's on a deal. I think mine cost about £30-35 new. Alternatively go second hand - a pair sold for £41 excluding postage on eBay last week.

SteelSeries Siberia maybe?

doodah · 27 Apr 2018 at 11:42

Hhhmm not sure I can justify £50 on a gadget I use to talk to one friend whilst playing PUBG

. WhatsApp calls don't quite cut it either

. Will check out the Hyper X range.

he is a good player but then when you look at his ranking and where he plays he often only floats around 1700 which is pretty avg. also he play NA which like asia is like playing blindfolded people.would be interesting how he does on EU. also last night he was getting wrecked by people with snipers. the tommy gun change makes it so good its amazing.

Daytrader · 27 Apr 2018 at 12:16

Well just downloaded new patch, and i still cant chouse what map i want to play on ?

All I've seen you do is belittle everyone that plays PUBG on this forum or anywhere. Do we have any proof that you're better than the people you're belittling?

~>Dg<~ · 27 Apr 2018 at 12:41

never claimed to be better than him. i just said he sits around 1700 on NA servers.which is just avg.i also said he is a very good player.haha this forums sometimes like the daily mail.pros sit around 2200-2300 for the very best on euro.

Daytrader · 27 Apr 2018 at 12:45

Guys, any ideal why i not see the select map option, UI looks same as before for me.

You can't really just apply the ELO system as gospel when Shroud is the top PUBG streamer. If he wanted to be a sweaty leaderboard player, he wouldn’t hot drop everygame with ~30K viewers and countless stream snipers. Its not a realistic comparison at all.

@Daytrader I pretty sure it's only live on the test server at the moment

TBH rating/ranking is just a function of playing lots.

You can get to 2200 by getting top 10 every time by dodging any fights you aren't certain to win without ever getting a chicken dinner.

Shroud is clearly a very good player so to call him average is stupid.
