Could be a flash hider. I tend to bail for cover asap if I don't get eyes on the shooter immediately. I've gotten decent at placing the general direction of incoming fire by the sound. Have to play this with a headset, imo.
Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.
I cannot stand how difficult it can be to see someone who is shooting at me. Last game taking shots. I stand still, turn a slow 360. Cannot find the person shooting, while shots hit around my feet.
Are you using the audio cues? It's usually pretty easy to tell where stuff is coming from just based on the audio.
Yup...replay cam is a helluva thing. I'm kinda interested to see what people will come up with (Red vs. Blue style) with custom servers and the replay tool.

Wackyjacky101 has a bunch of nice tutorials and analyses on YouTube. One is on how the sound works and understanding audio queues. Helped me a lot. Especially how to understand the whipping sound of the supersonic bullets passing by.
Shit, at least you guys are on pc. Try this with a controller with wack-ass aim acceleration.

I really hate when I have the drop on someone, yet the fiddliness of thr controls means its still a diceroll if my cursor actually cooperates. So fucking tired of that.

I still can't find solid information on the precise damage values of the new weapons like the Winchester and Rhino. However, I did an experiment last night after a friend of mine got kicked out of the group with some sort of "gamestate error, failed to join game" error.
I dropped into one of the cities on Miramar, shot someone once with the Winchester at close range (within 10 meters), and then died.
The statistics screen of that replay claims that I inflicted 37.62 damage from that singular shot.
Close examination of the replay showed that the opponent was wearing a level 1 vest, however he jumped right before I took my shot. It appeared like the impact point of my shot hit him on the inside of the upper thigh. Basically the groin/femoral artery area. Given what I know about the hitboxes in pubg, I believe that this shot was counted as a limb shot and that the level 1 vest's effects don't come into play.
When looking at the damage charts for other weapons, it seems that most weapons inflict half damage to limb shots compared to torso shots. Going of that, I presume that an unarmored chest shot from the winchester will hit for 75.24 damage, or essentially in the same league as the Kar98. If true, then I suppose that it should OHKO people through a level 2 helmet like the Kar98.

Take that as you will.
It does. I've been one shot by a Winchester through a level 2 helmet.
I have very few kills with a K98. Because I'll often hit them, and they'll duck into cover and heal. Because a hit from a Kar takes off most of your health, it panics people and they instantly start thinking about getting to cover and healing up.
Whereas, when I am shooting people with an AR, it does less damage, but that makes them think they can shoot back and duke it out. And then they die. Having the ability to quickly fire more shots to finish them off is handy too.
But, I love the Kar for its aesthetic. 90% of the time, I pick a weapon for its looks. Wood weapons are king in my book. My numba 1 weapon is the DP. It's barely better than an AK with an extended mag, but it is my aesthetic.

Well the real trick with the Kar98 is to hit them in the head. Then you hit them and then they die.
Yeah, but I always go for body shots. It's a habit I have. It's a bigger target, and in most other games I play people go down with one, maybe two body shots.
Watching TSM Viss and play squads with TSM. They must be in pure tryhard mode. They're on a 7 game chicken dinner streak with all 4 being alive almost every game.
If, if Reagan played disco He'd shoot it to shit You can't disco in Jackboots
Was the sole survivor of my squad and near a crate drop. I picked off 2 dudes from one squad, finishing them, and 2 from another. I had one dude left to kill but he got me. Looking at the replay I looted a guy for meds at the exact moment that dude walked across my line of sight about 50 feet from me, totally oblivious to me. Had I not looted just then all the loot including a ghilli suit would be mine
edit: so I just played a 3rd person game at this time. My friend I usually play 3rd person with is typically a morning player. Anyway, this must be the witching hour for Chinese hackers because they are all over this shit.
Haha, I just died to a aimbotter shooting me through buildings.
And when I checked the replay, I found another hacker too. I'm sure there are others, all within a 1k radius of me in one game.
PUBG is a joke.
I've been playing exclusively FPP and haven't encountered any obvious hackers yet... I've heard it's mainly a thing in TPP, for whatever reason.
Same experience here. I swapped over to FPP and all of the funny business and Chinese names vanished. At the same time, we've been observing pretty low BP payouts from our games. Like we're getting peanuts instead of our chicken dinner.
If the payouts are actually lower, then that explains the lack of hackers since the driving force behind much of the hacking is to farm BP to buy crates to sell on the market.
Wha, a torso shot does more damage than a headshot? And a shot to the shoulder is more damaging than a neck shot?
There are two multipliers - a body hit multiplier and a weapon type/area multiplier.
Sure but why is the body hit multiplier for the shoulder 100% and the one for the neck only 75%? That seems weird to me.
I think it's because the neck is protected by helmet, vs the shoulder which is body armor. 100% in the neck would lead to more weapons being one shot kills in the head

Patch today adds solo FPP, boosts weapon damage to vehicles and allows aim acceleration adjustment. These devs are killing it on console.

Similar, but at a fraction of the firepower. The AR's have an advantage in versatility and more common attachments, but the battle rifles punch above the AR's when competing within their preferred domain.
SRs I understand to fill the niche of extreme long range, but need way less bullets to kill as opposed to ARs, especially when headshots are involved. Tbh I cant shoot at long range no matter what the scope is so I tend to just creep til I can see the whites of their eyes.

Nah it is. I used to be a heavy SKS or mini user but I avoid them now if I can find an M4. I'd rather toss a 4x on an m16 and deal with the loss of sight because of how little damage the snipers do outside of the KAR.
Mini's got very little recoil, it's almost better as a close range secondary spamming it like a machine gun tbh.
not a doctor, not a lawyer, examples I use may not be fully researched so don't take out of context plz, don't @ me
Or just a slingshot, unlimited ammo, just pick up more rocks from the ground! Weak, but the infinite ammo+quick reload time+silence would make it like a super crossbow.

I think it's because the neck is protected by helmet, vs the shoulder which is body armor. 100% in the neck would lead to more weapons being one shot kills in the head
It's because the shoulders are part of the torso, while the neck is part of the head, for the weapon type chart
Say you shoot someone in the neck with an AR
First you multiply the damage by 2.3, because ARs do 230% dam to the head. Then you multiply it by 0.75 because it was a neck shot instead of the dome
In comparison, a shoulder shot you just multiply by 1 two times, because they are both 100%
So an M16 (ignoring armor and distance) does 41 damage to the shoulder
While to the neck it does 41 * 2.3 * 0.75 = 70.725 damage
So the neck shot is much more damaging
The essence here is that the neck being 75% is only meaningful when compared to the rest of the head
They're literally useless.
Not a fan of the 8x scope?
Except for being superior for long range semiautomatic fire, then yes. Useless.

If I want that I'll use the M4. Bigger clip. The drop seems comparable.
Also the M416 does not use clips.
^that is a clip.

The mini always feels like it needs 6 body shots to down someone at range anyways, why bother with it?
From what I've heard is they recently toned the SKS down and they over did the nerf.
Mini's got very little recoil, it's almost better as a close range secondary spamming it like a machine gun tbh.
It also has a bullet velocity of 990, which is higher than all the ARs, giving it better range
I actually really like the Mini. It's kinda my fav world sniper since I can rarely hit with the Kar. Put a Comp on it and it's a laser
SKS got hit bad with the bullet drop in 1.0, though. It still does more damage, but is much trickier to use at long range than any 5.56 weapon
But yeah, the M4 (and I guess the M16 and SCAR as well) works really well as a pseudo-DMR if you want
However, I almost never find both.
The one thing I have learned is the AK makes a terrible 4x scope user
The VSS should be chambered in its proper meaty round.
