[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;52818392]Close range is so uncommon unless you're storming a building or ambushing someone, I'll take the UMP over any other SMG.[/QUOTE]
Close range final circle(s) are more likely than you think dude.

second chicken dinner ever (both were in squad)
[QUOTE=Hogie bear;52816051]I only managed to find a vector in my last match and a pump shotgun. Kept finding health items and pistols after that. Eventually I got it fully upgraded and was running to some gunfire where I saw a dude just behind a warehouse wall with a gullie suit on and an awp and groza. I just thought "fuck it, havent killed anyone just wanna get this over with. Throw a flash in the building, making him think I dont know hes actually on the outside round the corner, step out and somehow kill him in a couple of shots. The guy had a lvl2 armor and lvl 3 helm that I apparently didnt damage, so those were all bodyshots.
So yeah I have turned my mind around on the weapon. That guys stuff got me to win the game with 8 kills lol[/QUOTE]
The Vector as an SMG isn't too bad. I used to have issues with it just not firing for some unknowable reason but an update a while ago fixed that. Weird as fuck bug that one.
Even without an extended mag, 13 rounds is more than enough to tear up a decently armoured player I've found. I've wiped entire squads in face to face firefights with it in the last few weeks fairly consistently. I used to pick the UMP for the more common ammo and larger magazines, but .45 guns in general fucking hurt to get hit with.
At the bare minimum put a quickdraw on the fucking thing though, you'll be reloading a lot after all.
Am I the odd one out who thinks there should be more melee weapons? Guns in a game like this are a core, but for the life of me I will only give this a try if this game can let me live my weeb fantasy.

In their current incarnation? Pass.
maint apparently.
I'm having issues connecting to the servers after this update, anyone else have this issue?

I'd love it if they did something with melee so anything other than the pan was actually useful.
[QUOTE=sh4d0w;52818151]Let's not get crazy here.
There ain't anything else around and you have people dropping with you? okay
Someone still has a UMP by the 4th circle? 5th tops? They're like a walking crate, some boosters and the occasional level 3 helm, easy money.[/QUOTE]
UMP 9 is soo good. A good chunk of my wins were with UMPys

Had a battle yesterday against a guy with S12K right after landing, and all I had was a machete.
It was intense as fuck, got three hits on him before he finally managed to shoot me, I was so pissed he didn't die

I know the disagree is for the first part, but I like to imagine cowsaysoink came in here, saw the second sentence, and thought "nope".

A machete swing should down you regardless where you hit
It's a fucking machete

And motor cycle helmets shouldn't block a thing :v:
First time ever I got a wicked sniper rifle. MK14 with a 15x scope. It felt like cheating lmao.

I'd like a 'power attack' button where you instantly attack for half of your breath meter.
If no melee weapon in hand, then with the butt of your firearm.
It doesn't matter where you hit, always deals 30% HP with a firearm or 50% with a melee weapon.
That's pretty simple, it doesn't favor any melee weapon over another, and firearms have a CQC component that's balanced around them being able to, well, shoot.
If someone is careless you can gib them in 2 hits, otherwise you're out of breath and can't run and have to resort to using a sluggish normal melee or switch for a pistol.

That could work, with a tiny bit of bleeding continuous damage from longer bladed weapons like a katana or a machete.
It'd be cool if they buffed Crossbows via arrow types, like explosive and/or poison.
Shotgun slugs when.
[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;52824427]It'd be cool if they buffed Crossbows via arrow types, like explosive and/or poison.[/QUOTE]
It would be cool no doubt, but that is a little beyond the run-and-gun thing PUBG has going on. (We already have compromises on the calibers and attachments shared among weapons, arrow types would open a door for ammo conversion and that would mess with the flow)
I think the Crossbow right now is in a good place, I don't think it's seeing much use because it shares a slot with a main weapon which is always a loss, and if it had it's own slot everyone would use it.
Would a crossbow using the handheld slot be a happy medium? Who knows, gotta try to see but I doubt it's on anyone's radar.
After all, passing on guns you see after you have your loadout is part of the games decision making process, and this wouldn't be any different.
I don't know if this player was hacking or not but they were using crossbows and literally sniping my squad in this one game. We eventually killed them later in the game but damn.

I've never had a chance to try an MK14 with a scope... what's the drop off like?

Make the pan 30% like a gun butt and you've got a deal.
I feel like the pan should do less damage than other melees because it's more improvised and unwieldy than them and makes up for it with bullet-blocking utility.

Basically nothing, its a near laser to the degree you can hit people perfectly at 400m when zero'd for 200m with no adjustment.

I once got mad because I kept whiffing half my shots on some dude running around at about 800 metres away and I normally can't shoot anything over 10 feet.
It doesn't have drop.
