    I get so frustrated, I dont know why I keep playing. I can build fine, but cant hit someone with a bullet to save my life. Im about to hook a keyboard and mouse up to the ps4 and see if it gets better

    Shooting is the easiest thing about the game. There’s auto aim on console.

    Auto aim and there's an auto fire option on app. Makes it too easy to use shotguns, and they should get rid of it when nerfing shotguns if they ever do

    My favorite is dropping a weapon, then the next weapon fires if I try to pick up another weapon. Wtf I'm not trying to throw a grenade at my feet or shoot randomly

    I’m just here to say that if you depend on auto aim and like to bounce ads to exploit it you should always use the Tommy Gun. If you’re someone who has better tracking aim then the sub or p90 are better choices but the AA on drum guns are strong af even close quarters wise

    I don't really understand auto aim, does it really just lock on to the enemy? Because if it's supposed to, mine definitely does not or I just suck that bad.

    so do you just let it take control ones it locks on? maybe that's where I'm going wrong with my aim.

    When youre using an AR at range, get into the habit of bumping the ads while you track your target and you’ll notice the AA. Once you get a feel for it you can find a rhythm between ADSing and firing your weapon

    so when the AA locks on, should I not even touch the right joy stick? just fire? is that what you're saying?

    No you still have to manipulate the sticks but the AA kind of drags it to your target when you ads.. hence the idea of bumping the ads and finding a rhythm with your shot

    Baron a better explanation is that you only get auto aim when you aim in on a target. When you ads onto a target the reticle gets sorta magnetized slightly to it, after that initial drag, you are aiming on your own.

    Also anyone struggling to shoot should slow down and make sure to get first shot accuracy. The crosshairs will shrink down very small, then no bloom on your first shot. Smgs don’t have this but are accurate enough without it.

    I'm just watching some of that Summer Skirmish from Friday. Courage is fantastic as a caster. I think having these skirmishes as private is way better. I don't think this scoring format is my favorite though.

    Pretty much everyone I can imagine. I think cloakzy or whatever said he wasn't. But with Lupo added in, it's pretty much money. Solos, private server, although point structure is a little too geared towards winning rather than killing. I'll be watching what I can.

    There's something so incredibly satisfying about the Fly Explosives game that just turns into people jetpacking around and shooting a fuck load of rockets at each other

    Rifting down on someone with the DB equipped may be the most unfair thing in the history of gaming.

    Had a great moment earlier today. Land by that big chair by shifty and start looting. Look down to text and hear someone around me. I look up to see him right in front of me taking his time for a headshot. I mow him down with an SMG and continue about my way. He messages me saying how trash I am and won't get another kill. He watches me the whole game and continually sends me messages saying how lucky I got and shit like that. I reply by doing the take the L dance periodically. End up getting four more kills and the win :loldog:

    My style of play is to go far away from everyone else and loot. Then hide and avoid conflict as much as possible until I'm one of the last 2-3 alive.

    It works enough to get me a lot of solo wins but I'd be the most boring streamer to watch.

    Also, I use "Old School" controls and can't build defensively at all. It's pathetic.

    While I am dying a lot more than winning, I think I'm getting better. Landing in uncomfortable places and running towards action (especially if I can third party an ongoing fight). I'm trying to push the boundaries of what is comfortable.

    Because of my terrible defensive building skills, I just use line of sight to protect me. Bushes, cliffs, shadows are all my jam. My best skill is probably predicting where other players aren't going to land and going there to loot.

    I’ve had two wins and two second place finishes in shy of 10 games today. Both games I finished second I had 11 and 12 kills and averaged 7 kills per game during my session. Currently in the top 3% in solos on TRN. Compare that to top 50% in duos and 70% in squads and I’m starting to think I just suck in front of my friends
