I come a particular competitive game where the only way to go higher was to master the engine's quirks and glitches. There was no helping it, everyone used the glitches because the devs didn't fix them. If you refuse to use the game to the fullest, you are some sort of apologist. Who are you apologizing to? The only people that judge you are other players, and that's who you're trying to beat.

That's not how it works. The entire point of gamma is to decrease the differential between bright and dark areas. If you do it from your drivers, there's not much of a difference.

No. When you cry out and call GAME SETTINGS that should be universal to any game crutches, that's delusion. I'm on board with fixing game glitches, but trying to burn people for using them or for the use of game settings is pretty dumb. P.S I bloody hate the term "skill." It has nothing to do with the context of the game, you either get results or you don't. I don't measure group members by player ability, I measure them by results.

1. When you want to get competitive, you'll always have voice comms. 2. Even if you patch gamma and brightness out, it'll still be available through drivers, hardware, etc. 3. Fucking boggles my mind. If you remove the FoV slider, the people with good aspect ratios and tri-monitor setups will have even more of an advantage. Personally, I think you need to git gud™. There's literally nothing wrong with players getting competitive, it WILL happen.

I'd git gud and win a firefight, incapacitate the enemies and fix them up after I disarm them. That's implying I can't kill, of course. Personally, I think having a shotgun in any instance is bloody stupid because it either OHKOs or annoyingly blows up everyone's gear. Git a better gun for maiming.

I'm talking about damage calculation. There seems to be no difference in lethality getting shot a meter away and hundreds of meters away.

Okay, so I did some ballistics tests on a pristine press vest. The victim was fully healthy and had the press vest, a wool coat, and a mountain backpack on his torso area. 1 round 5.56 on front of pristine press vest = Vest goes to worn status, no bleeding, strong pulse 1 round 5.56 on front of worn press vest = Vest goes to ruined status, no bleeding, strong pulse 1 round 5.56 on front of ruined press vest = Vest is still ruined, victim bleeds and goes unconscious, steady pulse The victim's then patched up with an epipen and a bandage. 1 round 5.56 on side of ruined press vest = Vest is still ruined, victim bleeds and dies, zero pulse, the wool shirt noticeably degrades in condition. I didn't have a UK vest to compare the stats to, but apparently the press vest does do something against ballistics. WOBO did a video testing the vest with punches and said it didn't offer more protection than any other vest item. We'll see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTSKNdi80RE Edit. Managed to set up an interesting test with the shotgun. 12 gauge shotgun shell on front of pristine press vest = Vest goes to worn status, no bleeding, strong pulse 12 gauge shotgun shell on front of worn press vest = Vest still worn status, no bleeding, strong pulse 12 gauge shotgun shell on front of worn press vest = Vest still worn status, no bleeding, strong pulse 12 gauge shotgun shell on front of worn press vest = Vest still worn status, no bleeding, strong pulse 12 gauge shotgun shell on front of worn press vest = Vest still worn status, no bleeding, strong pulse 12 gauge shotgun shell on front of worn press vest = Vest still worn status, no bleeding, strong pulse 12 gauge shotgun shell on front of worn press vest = Vest still worn status, no bleeding, strong pulse 12 gauge shotgun shell on front of worn press vest = Vest still worn status, no bleeding, strong pulse 1 round 5.56 on front of worn press vest = Vest goes to ruined status, no bleeding, strong pulse

What about woodcutting?

Afaik, kinetic energy loss and other kinks haven't been implemented yet. If a round hits, it'll always do full damage regardless of how far away the bullet traveled.

Managed to set up another test with the shotgun. Spoiler: The vest is impervious to shotguns.

This felt exactly like a Reddit post grasping for upvotes.

I don't like how the only spawn seems to be Berezino now. I miss the Kamyshovo spawns a lot.

100% drop rate in Elektro.

I also did a test with a worn U.N Helmet. I'll tl;dr: it. -Worn U.N Helmet blocks one shot of 5.56. The helmet doesn't need to be pristine. -The protection applies around the entire face. Pegging a guy's face with 5.56 when he has a helmet on will not kill him.

Most zombies can't keep up with me when I'm at top speed. There is a small but noticeable difference, try racing your friends.

You get a higher run speed if you use a combat stance with either your fists out or a melee weapon. You used to run slower if you had a melee out, but Rocket changed it last patch. There's a glitch to run full speed with your gun in one hand.

Pretty hard. There's only one server and the experimental servers currently don't reset very often.

Is it going to be implemented? Muh realism.

You're missing the point. It doesn't have to be accurate, it just needs to be possible because it makes sense. It's entirely plausible to be laying suppressing fire while moving.

I've taken it before and haven't been banned. Unfortunately, I don't have the character anymore.

I got shot in the chest with 7.62x54 while wearing all ruined items. I lived, but it literally went through my vest, shirt, backpack, and ruined ~5 items in each layer. I'm thinking pristine items might protect your loot better.

I've already done this. If you know when a server resets, it's easy.

I have the old model of beans with the lorem ipsum on the back.

Listen, buddy. I come from a competitive game where staying on the bleeding edge meant using the game to its fullest. The devs were fine with it-- it only proved how they needed to pick up the pace and fix their game. I'm not going to go full retard over this, but encouraging exploitation can only be good for the game in the long run. If the devs give up and don't fix anything, it's on them, not the players that play a busted game. The competitive philosophy of being undeterred by moral qualms is the way to go. P.S All that exploitation in that game? It evolved into a nifty little metagame.

Noticed lorem ipsum on one of the cans. Probably before they were updated.
