Seems to vary. Played a few games last night and had 2 in 1 game. I think I had a scar in 2 out of the 3 games I played. Had like 3 floor traps between 3 buildings I went in. Seems like floor traps have multiplied.

Looking at the damage stats for the assault rifles, there's not that much difference between say a green AR and a purple, but the SCAR just seems so much more accurate. Is that the main difference?

I still don’t understand the battle pass, tiers, stars, exp, etc.

Also is there any way to earn skins and axes by playing or are they strictly for purchase? Doesn’t really matter I like their system just curious.

I wish they would put some sort of accuracy stat. You kind of figure it out through trial and error but they have the damage, etc, so why not accuracy? Also they need to put range in. Everything is 1. It makes no sense. Love the game, I just think these would be simple additions.

Because there is no range on anything except shotguns. Zero. All guns except shotguns do the same damage from any distance. Bloom just gets worse as the cone of fire extends. Only shotguns have fall off damage.

There is no recoil in this game at the moment. Your cross hair will not jump after shooting. There is only bloom. "Spraying" will cause bloom to increase though.

The damage is very much significant.

It takes 4 body shots to kill a 100 health enemy with a M16 (white-Blue AR)
It takes 3 body shots to kill a 100 health enemy with a SCAR (purple-gold AR)

That extra bullet could mean a big difference. 7 or 6 shots at 200 health/armor. Also yes, they have less bloom.

Good point. I wish we could get the bloom stats to see how much more accurate each version of the weapons are.

tomato/tomahto. the bigger bloom may as well be muzzle rise, it still functions like traditional recoil in the sense that it determines how quickly you can line up follow-up shots

Recoil can be controlled by a skilled player. Bloom is RNG. Totally different.

not enough to matter. the bloom RNG isnt some vast misstep like the tac shotty's RNG is. it can easily be overcome once you get a feel for the gun's behavior. the scoped AR's bloom was the only bloom that sucked but they fixed it

Im rly sick of missing my first 5 shots on ppl that dont see me and getting turned on and they hit their first 2 on me. its GD sickening.

oh and only getting 1 decent teammate every 50 fricking duos.

I would fricking pay a sub for a fill only game mode where i dont have to fight 40 teams all on dicord.

just had 1 of my best performances though.

told guy to drop tomato, marked it. of course they have no mic and drop dusty depot and insta die. first 2 kills were from range with suppressed pistol, second two were scrubs that thought standing still crouched in the open vs my building was a good idea. 3rd team i got a 400M snipe and his teammate was far off so i had time to close. spam built to evade his RPG and green pumped him, who generously gave me 50 rockets, gold scar, and max materials. made it to next circle just in time to use 1 teams building and get on a peak and rpg the last two right after they killed the other team.

So the game looks completely different now

The 60 FPS looks incredible. I somehow missed they were changing that and logged in this morning and was like wtf is going on

I disagree. Did you play the game mode where it sniper and pistols only? The bloom with pistols was completely ridiculous.
