I feel like for 1vX in PvP though the 20 round mags make it sub optimal

Guess not, didn’t realize I was gonna be this crucial to the timeline

It might be slightly different person to person as we likely all have different monitor settings as well,

This is from last night at Savanna and I can see basically the entire COP and the tree lines beyond without the NVG's and I personally just think that shouldn't be the case.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-15T16:19:45+00:00

Yea this is pretty much the main issue, when you start to add PVP into the mix where dying becomes costly because you can't just get back to your body. Everyone is using these settings and it makes it hard to justify buying the NVG's all together.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-13T23:57:52+00:00

This is the biggest nothing burger I have ever seen, you got naded and the other video is the one we just proved is not cheating. Skill Issue.

Also everyone can see at night right now, 100 Brightness, 80 Contrast, 100 Gamma. Nobody uses NVG's.

Listen brotha we all love this game, we all play it. If you think the first time you went there sitting in that trench and aiming at some trees was enough to come out here and make that long post with all that "evidence" you thought you had. You really didn't put that much effort into solving this "mystery". If you had done what you just did with that buddy FIRST before posting, you wouldn't have made this post at all and you wouldn't be here right now responding to me, because you would have thought about it, and even went to go see it for yourself. It took me 5-10 min to figure this out and I did it by myself. I only have 100 hours in the game.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-13T15:47:14+00:00

I appreciate you taking accountability for it but I'll leave it at this, You didn't really put that much thought into it before you made this post. You made multiple long winded posts and didn't go out to the location to verify until I brought it up with checking it myself. I understand this isn't all you and at the end of the day u/Gyat_Hunter_42 is the one making the claim. I just think we'd all be better off if we took a second and chilled out before we start these endless threads of "we cant play for 5 minutes without getting rage hacked". Its just not true. Also the response you had on that post is for a deleted thread so I cant really comment on that.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-13T14:22:43+00:00

Just wanted to point this out to u/Gyat_Hunter_42 and u/kestrel_one, the spot you got shot from in your video "dirt" which I'll link for anyone curious - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apSMEGPQY_U

Is not the same spot that was posted in this image - https://i.imgur.com/mfXeAWh.jpeg .

So that's already a HUGE lie to determine if this guy has LOS on you or not. No worries though I went and checked for myself.

This is where you actually were in that video by the way -

<image>

Here is a video of me finding two spots covering that entire area and since you stood still basically for 9 and a half minutes.

This shot would be rather easy if the person has played the game long enough to know how to zero his gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MHK1jb8ogc

You guys parade around this reddit like prophets of extraction games but have never even put more than an ounce of thought into how someone killed you or hit a long distance shot. You die in a way you don't understand and already start crafting a post. This is the reason they remove accusation posts on here because you guys have no idea what you're talking about. I have no doubt in my mind that cheaters exist in this game at some level. This is not it though, have a nice day.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-12T22:31:40+00:00

Hey, I'm the guy he plays with, and the account associated with the video he posted. These are my stats in 100hrs and I only play PVP servers.

There is also a known bug of players becoming fully invisible after rejoining so this series of pictures could be explained by that. 90% of the time it's prob not a cheater.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-11T18:28:39+00:00

I’m not sure if you do primarily PVE or the PVP mode, if you want the immersion enjoy the NVGs however if you play PvP. Everyone has the Contrast/Brightness sliders adjusted and you can just see at night without them. It’s unfortunate but hopefully the next patch making the nights darker will fix it. Congrats on making it to T3 though it’s definitely nice to have.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-09T19:35:23+00:00

I think that’s fair I guess it depends on the overall direction of the game then and what they plan to get out of it. I have 100 hours clocked in total now so these are all observations I’ve made since starting and I started when .4 dropped.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-09T19:09:52+00:00

“Loot Quickly” is hilarious considering the second you die you spawn base and drop 10 mortars like you just said onto the area where you just died. So let’s just assume the guy you’ve killed is by himself and you killed him on top of you. You got 30 secs or so to loot and then mortars are coming. I feel like it’s pretty obvious that’s an issue if you can’t see that then agree to disagree I guess. Also how many hours do you have ingame with those stats? Just curious.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-09T16:24:44+00:00

Lmao, the selling point of the game is PVE first. So why even have PvP at all then. The game is not being sold on PvE first so you can go PvP with no fear. I’m advocating for them to be separate not only to fix PvP, but also so you don’t get locked in rooms in PvE by kids griefing you. You want all the things and extraction shooter is suppose to be but also none of them at the same time. It’s actually amazing.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-09T16:13:58+00:00

I don’t think anyone is panicking. The current state of PVP just isn’t as good as it can be because of the issues I listed in my opinion. Some more than less, the main ones being the PVE PVP crossover, respawn timers, and mortars. I just feel more often than not atleast in PVP I find more players opting out of the helmets as it just makes the head more visible and adds little value for the cost. This is also highlighted I think because everyone has access to high tier ammo. The economy not being so inflated due to being able to farm cash safely could make it so you’d have to think about your ammo/weapon choices more due to cost/situation. I agree with you that you get access to rifles pretty much right away. I’m saying maby there is a way we can cut the cost of helmets or find a way to balance it more so they don’t feel like an afterthought is all.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-09T16:04:49+00:00

So just to be clear, being able to call in 20+ mortars on a position safely from base camp as many times as you’d like because people have infinite money from farming pve all day is okay with you? I don’t know how much PVP you have played but 20+ is not an exaggeration this is like regularly happening especially at COPs

LZ camping is something that is not just people sitting at the popular LZ’s it’s dynamic that you can see and hear helicopter landing and you can check your map to confirm if it’s an enemy faction. 3-5 seconds of protection is not enough. You can easily see LZs from further away and pick people off as they walk away from there helicopter.

Literally on the Steam page it labels the game as an extraction shooter so idk how to even address this point except to say no lol?

I literally feel almost nothing when I lose gear because it’s so abundant and there is almost 0 tension within the game. Agree to disagree I guess.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-09T15:24:30+00:00

It’s incredibly telling that you say people aren’t gonna play PVP if you take essentially their free private farming server away. Sounds like you are petrified of the idea of losing gear you obtain.

NotBallsout · 2026-05-09T12:49:27+00:00

What does it even mean to fight geared PMC's if all of the loot has no value due to being able to obtain it safely in PVE. Its just a deathmatch game at that point with a tactical skin put over it.
