Thanks!
You need to let the game sit there in the loby untouched for a good while to get disconnected.

The other thing I've realized (and more and more people seem to be too) is, because the kill stats are locked to a character, if someone takes your main or alternate, you may end up with someone you've never played before. That'd mean that, even if you're 100+ kills, multiple victories, your stats will show as 0 kills. Don't judge a book by its cover, yadda yadda.
My basic approach is, if I'm in a game with people who know what they are doing, I'll follow them, try to support safely (flanks, prioritize my health and safety for revives etc.) and if I'm with people who seem lost, take the lead and try to go more cautiously. You never know when you'll end up in the top 3 and see two teams fighting and, even with less skill, be able to opportunistically take out a last man standing as a group.
Anyone have any tips for a relative BR noob who's solo queuing? PC, if that matters.
I'm generally quite good at FPS competitive modes, but I'm not very good at this at all. I'm trying to make sure I move with my squad, I ping all useful things, but I'm losing most fire fights and most games it takes ages to find any enemies.

how so? any ping tells you distance. you don't have to specifically select enemy ping
to the best of my knowledge, the only gameplay differences between characters are their 1 passive, their tactical, and their ultimate. there are no unstated differences between them in any other regard
..hmmm.
Can I get this in the Commo Rose please?
No matter how obvious the situation this seems to escape 90% of teams I'm in.
*quietly types note into A Very Particular Google Sheet*
👍
Me and a friend who have like 10 wins already ran into this legend for the first time recently. This guy had these explosives tucked away behind every little corner and it was extremely effective. I think just the fact that he can do that and you have to slow down your gameplay around him makes him effective. He's very good at punishing a rush.
This is correct, all characters move at the same speed, have the same mantling abilities, etc.
Other than some hitbox differences, character kits are the only real differences between them.
With that said, we'll probably get a character in the future where their passive is wall-running/increased mobility, etc.
Drop into the blue zone and other hotzones until you get good at winning gunfights.
Don't drop onto the airship, that shits dumb and gets you split up from your team.
Also, focus on learning how to use these weapons.
- R301
- Wingman
- Spitfire
- Devotion
- G7
Other weapons can be situationally useful, though I think the Hemlock and Prowler are pretty bad overall. Shotguns are okay, but trying to create scenarios where you can use them can get you killed easily.
Same speed, but bigger characters like Gibraltar can "feel" slower when you're playing as them, due to their longer strides. You "bob" at a lower rate than, say, with Wraith.
The G7 is low key the best gun in the game. Hits hard, spamable, accurate at long ranges. Properly kitted out it's a beast and it's won me a couple of games against players who only had automatic weapons and shotties.
Is it just me or does the shooting in this game feel like absolute garbage? Maybe I just need to fiddle with the settings a bit to make it into something playable. I plan on giving the game another shot later, but that first impression was pretty bad.
Isn't it just...
- L2/LT to aim at enemy
- Double-Tap R1/RB to ping them
- See ping distance, estimate bullet drop, fire
On PS4, is there a dedicated button for throwing grenades or do you always have to press right on the dpad first?
Is there a active discord? Also wish there was a LFG tool in the game so you can find people that wana stick together.
Thanks very much.
Right now my main gripes is teammates doing weird things, like not moving toether when pinging a location, running off separately, etc... once I get a bit better and don't feel like a drain I'll look for some regular team mates I think.
Playing with folks from the Era discord kinda ruined the game with randoms for me.
A lot less fun now to watch everybody just do dumb shit (8 out of 10 games)

I would have sworn Gibraltar was slower, but in truth I did find myself keeping up with characters like Wraith and Lifeline.
That's a really interesting effect.
Bunker used to be the most amazing starting point for me. My squad would be almost guaranteed level 2+ armour for all, but now it's hot as fuck,it seems like everyone drops there. In one of the last games I played we were sandwiched between 2 other teams in that narrow corridor and that was straight after we down a full squad.
It was nice while it lasted. Looks like we're going to have to look at alternative areas to drop into.

A similar effect occurs in racing games if you dont have enough scenary. Can feel like you're going slow at 100 mph if youre not passing enough objects
BR Problems: Once you get that W with a good team, you're always chasing that same feeling.
Could you also add these few things to this mysterious Google sheet if they are not there already:
- Hold to sprint
- Show connection ping
Also does anyone know how the game decides the servers if team have people from EU and NA?
Ive received some really nice messages on Xbox live playing this. A few 'GG's and one today from a chap who I carried all the way to the final 2 who thanked me for helping him and apologised for getting killed so many times.
The SMG's are very disappointing, a whole clip into someone at close range and you still need to switch guns to secure the kill
yeah. Getting a lock on a super small, fast moving target can be difficult with analog sticks. That's why I said it was tough to do. Because it's tough to do.
It's crazy that this game is still #1 on twitch. Not even just #1, but it's near double the next couple games most of the time.
Gibraltors hit box is bigger so generic soldiers would unify hitboxes. But I guess they could just let people pick whatever (most would pick the smaller characters, which presumably is everyone but Gibraltor)
Is there a source somewhere I can look at for this part of your comment?
Thanks in advance.
All-platform crossplay is currently being worked on, according to Respawn.
Just make everyone this guy
Passive ability: Wallrunning
Other ability: Grapple
Ultimate ability: None
Let people unlock skins and different helmets for him.
No, but I just assume it is because he's a big boi and has a shield
Is there a way to request healing from Lifeline? I've played with a couple of people now who just will not use their ability for whatever reason, even when I'm one shot away from going down. I just spam pings and jump a bunch, hoping they get the message.
