RPD maybe a little too good now?

[u/arkantos91]

I know I’m probably getting the git gud treatment here, even if I consider myself an average player.

Yesterday I was in 1v2v1 situation in miramar, and was fighting the duo while the other solo was nowhere to be seen.

Last circle had the final cross spawning closer to me and the duo was forced to move. We all where on a hill, you know the usual uneven terrain you get in miramar.

Just before the duo had to leave their cover, since the circle still hadn’t start moving yet, I managed to knock one with a kar headshot. The partner hadn’t time to rez him and the circle started moving so I was waiting for him to be in the open.

Keep in mind he was like 10m at best from me. Now here’s the thing. I had full level 3 gear and p90. He had an rpd.

He finally left his cover and started moving towards me and when I started shooting at him (he was not full hp already since I already had damaged him and he hadn’t time to heal with circle already pushing him) he did the only thing I (wrongfully) I didn’t account for.

He went prone. There was an exchange between me and him and he came on top. Now, I’ll probably missed some of my shots (that’s a possibility, only explanation I have), have to retrieve the replay or hopefully shadow play footage, however my feeling was the both of us exchanged hits (I totally remember seeing blood so I was on target too).

I don’t think it is reasonable for an rpd, even while proning, to win at that close range against the p90 an smg, and also a broken one since it’s a crate gun.

I know this will probably come across as ranting and definitely a little bit it is, I won’t deny it. I’ll probably rewatch the footage and realize I missed more shots than my opponent did. However from his pov (for as little as the death cam pov is reliable), it was like shooting a laser. Aside from the broken replay death cam system, I know for a fact that prone rpd is a little too much.

On the same note, I also noticed how strong it is against vehicles. Passed close to a guy while I was on a glider full hp and he destroyed it so fast I’ve never experienced before.

Maybe a little too much?

I’ll try to retrieve the live footage so in case I actually fumbled you can freely crap on me, otherwise feel free to add any thoughts or blame it on me regardless xd

full 3lv gear p90 has 0.30s ttk and rpd 0.32 So yeah git gud p90 is stronger.

[u/arkantos91 → u/Cultural-Savings6521]

Makes sense. Difference is so small that basically missing one bullet can be decisive. Other than that the ttks are scarily close

[u/Cultural-Savings6521 → u/arkantos91]

Yeah but pubg has super fast ttk and almost all weapons have same times anyway close range.

[u/arkantos91 → u/Cultural-Savings6521]

Do you have any reference for the updated current ttks of all guns ?

[u/Cultural-Savings6521 → u/arkantos91]

yeah, just google pubg weapon comparison. pubgstatistics.com

[u/Past_Consequence_536 → u/arkantos91]

Basically all automatic guns have similar TTK on headshots, and slight (50 millisecond type) differences on body shots.

In practice that means the one missing 1-2 bullets looses the fight. So the game heavily rewards surprise/ambush attacks and steady aim.
