PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS - Thread

The lengths some people will go to in order to cheat are astonishing at times. What drives that sort of mentality I wonder. There will be articles on gamers mentalities one day in Psychology papers
 
Cheating at computer games is very odd.

What's the point? There's no financial gain, there can't be any personal satisfaction in it, and if you get caught it will cost you your game entirely....

Just odd

Indeed, 30 odd years of gaming, from the ancient days of POKE cheating, through the console era of Up, Down, Left, Left, X, X, Y, Down, Left cheating, to the modern age of exploits and utilities, throughout it all its just something I have really never understood. What possible gratification does a person get from achieving something which they themselves havent actually achieved, thats been done not because of their intellect or skill, but because they used method X. Moreover, what does it say about the mentality of the person who DOES actually get gratification from that. As you say, its just odd.

Hmm what is a lag switch?

It's a physical switch (usually a light switch) where a certain part of a Ethernet cable will be cut and made complete by the switch so you can turn that wires signal on/off. Turning the switch off will hugely raise your ping in such a way to get an unfair advantage allowing you to win in almost any game. Think running into a house and killing someone before the door even opens on their screen due to your lag to the server.

I was hiding by trees and rocks and in the grass at the end prolly 90% of the game, I ran a guy over in the buggy and killed 5 others I think, one guy walked over to me and stopped in front of me when I was prone in the grass, bang bang dead lol :D
 
Well I guess there is financial gain with cheating. More kills equals more crates equals more to sell.

The ones who hide it well may stream on twitch/YouTube ad money from those.


Some just cheat to **** off others while feeling like they earned that kill...

It's weird.
 
Oh I didn't realise you could sell it for real money, I've traded some back for more in game credits.

How does one do this? I've only ever look once or twice to change my look and never gone back.
 
Steam marketplace or any of those third party trading sites.

If you go to your inventory in the steam client you can see how much your items are "worth".
 
Ah yes, I didn't know PUBG stuff was marketable! This is bad... :p

Some of those prices are insane! £146 for a trenchcoat!??

I guess, but even then it'd be a real hard slog to make any real money from crates.

I flogged a pretend gas mask today for about 50p
