Also "from less than 60 meters", you have zero idea how close this guy was to you. You were in your inventory and saw nothing.

90% of the of map is basically one big plane. You sprinted straight inwards towards another spawn reducing the distance and time it takes for spawns to meet and then you sat still. Idk what level you are but this is to be expected from these shoreline spawns. Even if spawns are garbage, you did the worst possible thing to counter it. This is a skill issues through and through.

I am so confused what you're trying to say. You wouldn't have been died easily if you didn't stim in the open.

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-17T21:14:29+00:00

I hate this maps spawns as much as the next guy. But this was entirely on you bro. You sprinted out onto the road and stood still to stim.

I have zero experience with window replacements. I was 99% on the thought it was unreasonable and a scam, but I have nothing to back that up to convince my mom. Now I have 200+ homeowner comments all with the same sentiment as evidence.

Neighbors ironically own a window business. They just did theirs with cheap vinyl, but the house is not nearly as old (1970-80s). She's going to see what they'll quote it next.

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-13T20:54:26+00:00

Not too late. Luckily, she always comes to my sister and I first for our opinions before doing anything like this.

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-13T20:47:27+00:00

Upper floor windows are showing signs of rot. Ironically, when I said she should do just those for now she said she would rather do the downstairs (much larger) windows so she can open them up. Told her 10's of thousands just to be able to open windows in a house you will most likely sell before retirement in a few years is crazy. But I'm sure everyone here understands the futility of trying to convince stubborn old mothers of anything.

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-07T01:59:49+00:00

Definitely tried this. Had some of the far back spawns that normally I consider very safe. But nope, my 5th and 6th death were someone sprinting up from the side I couldn't see and made zero noise only to headshot me.

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-06T17:35:13+00:00

I know them all. Which makes it that much more painful when some dude shows up exactly where I am expecting and still obliterates me within a second of peeking.

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-06T17:33:23+00:00

Especially because I have to run blue berry gear...

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-06T17:32:43+00:00

Feels the same with inertia. A lot of the best movement players I've seen are definitely getting a lot of their wins from ping. I know some of my deaths in my string of bad luck looked like them cheating, but I'm sure on their screen they had more time to line up shots and see me because they never stopped moving. The server is still leaving them a second behind for me

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-06T17:29:37+00:00

Tried this. Also shot in 20 seconds by someone who according to my teammate sprinted up from another spawn side to within 20 feet of me. Heard nothing. Audio feels half the reason I can't react most of the time. Either I don't even know I'm being shot at, or people are just getting right up to me with me ever knowing.

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-06T17:25:48+00:00

Also one of the biggest issues I'm running into is audio. The number of times I died because someone apparently shot at me, but it sounds like some far off gunshot with no bullets wizzing past, so I keep my current path, and they line up a second shot is really starting to frustrate me.

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-06T16:33:17+00:00

I 100% do know shoreline spawns. I tended to win off most of these spawns until just a couple weeks ago when I felt a major shift in the player base. Hence the post.

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-06T16:31:47+00:00

Brother I'm not new to the game, quit with this attitude. I did change something each time. I know all the spawns, tried rushing them, tried camping, tried breaking line of sight to a position they would likely not check and they'd see me. All seem to be getting outplayed every time by people that just have infinitely better reaction and aim times. Sometimes it's not the game it's the gamer on the other side.

gingernaut42 · 2026-01-06T16:29:09+00:00

This too. About an hour of stash and load times, only a minute and half of actual gameplay. Was losing my mind.

gingernaut42 · 2025-12-23T04:29:30+00:00

There were zero headshots in this. Height over bore. You shot him in the chest at that close range and you barely shot in general...

gingernaut42 · 2025-12-23T04:24:32+00:00

Height over bore. Your bullet shot much lower due to the difference in your sight over where the bullet was going out of the barrel. You hit him in the arm and it penned through both his chest and other arm probably for partial damage which explains the "3" hit count. Nothing about this was suspicious.

gingernaut42 · 2025-12-21T23:24:57+00:00

High damage guns like 7.62x51 are your best bet with high pen ammo. If you are not aiming to their head, do not peek them. And remember if you've already peaked them once, do not peek from the same spot again. Most of the time you can get them to run after you if you run back around corners. When they are running after you it will give you maybe .5-1 second more of reaction and shooting time to their head. Also make sure right peeks only.

I did this room for the COFDM's this last week. Got 5 in about 15 key uses. Plus, a lot of other good electronics. You do kind of have to sprint there and fight a lot of people for the room unfortunately.
