How are people still playing this game and how are any of you over 25 actually decent at it? Never got the hang of building.

I typically just play when new content drops - haven't touched the game since the last Christmas event (like a lot of other casual fans of the game). I'm in my mid 30s and I find it to be a good challenging adrenaline rush in small doses.

Building just takes practice like any other skill in a game, but it is 100% a barrier to entry if you aren't committed to learning how to do it. If you are a console player I would switch to the "Build Pro" button layout and practice from there.

Started playing this with my 10 yr old son. Hes alot better than me at it but we have alot of fun doing team matches. Anytime we get down to the end and we face a good builder were toast. I find we spend most of our time blaming someone for the loss. Alot of "Bro where were you?" And "No more boats! Everytime we get in a boat we die!"

I forgot to post this Aim Bot that we ran into in C2S1. Ignore the part where we die except that my partner was sniped through our build. It gets fun after he leaves our box though.

I also speed up the video when he's boat riding and after he uses the launch pad.

Yeah they definitely brought back the spam meta. I hope they revamp Arena some, it seems like everything in Pubs is in it too. The mythic weapons are so OP its ridiculous.

Minigun is so OP, I forgot how to fight against those

i haven't played much but fired it up this morning and encountered a host of people who did not as well. i think i got 3-4 kills in a row with it including an umbrella.

Messed around with some of my sensitivities on Saturday and started hitting a few really nice shotgun shots. Might change it a little more, but I’m liking it so far.

new settings

Damn, tough crowd.

Current settings on PS4
Exponential
Edit hold time: .150 seconds
Build mode Sensitivity Multiplier 1.2
Edit Mode Sensitivity Multiplier 1.2

Look Sensitivity Horizontal/Vertical 38%
Turning H/V Boost 5%

ADS Sensitivity H/V 20%
ADS H/V Boost 5%

Working on the edit plays. Still contender but Div 6. Grinding to champs.

That’s a very contradictory statement. I like expo cause it helps with mid range aim.
