Aint nothing stopping this PAN PAN

lmao what the hell

that's pretty cool tbh

 

[Stahsky]

wouldn't that shotgun obliterate that pan though

 

[SZips]

I get the feeling I'm going to be attacked with frying pans a lot more frequently now.

 

[Tecnniqe]

A .22 is 50/50 and anything else is more or less gonna make a nice hole in it, so yes, that pan should turn into metal splinters and shred the person holding it while also taking a few pellets to the face for good measure.

Whens the new patch supposed to hit?

Theres another patch coming out today? I saw someone say 10 hours but not sure if trolling.

 

[Kadin]

The more I've watched of this game, the more intriguing it gets. I'm generally against buying Early Access games, but I think I might take the gamble on this one when I get my $30 settlement check from the GTX 970 class action.

It's a solid purchase. It was my first BR game and I love it even though I'm absolutely terrible. Haven't had this much fun with friends in a long time and even solo is enjoyable.

Patch is already out...

 

[andycapps]

just had my buttpan stop a couple of bullets
what a time to be alive

Does it make a ping sound when it gets hit?

Always thought the frying pan was great despite never using it. But now?

Now it's meta 😎

Spoiler

Queue people running into full auto fire swinging the pan like crazy deflecting all the bullets.

It does make pling plong.

I think you saw the post that said '-10' hours basically referring to the fact that it was already out 10 hours prior.

They said negative 10 hours because you asked 10 hours after it came out

There is a surprising amount of cast iron skillet shooting "research" available on youtube.

 

[Archpath1]

Now let me throw the machete/sickle then all will be compete

Easy and fun to shoot

 

[Tecnniqe]

At first when I installed this patch I was like

But then I was like

And then someone came at me with a weapon and I was all like

But then the pan ended up protecting me and so I

and thats when it hit me

It's amazing,

You sure?

A lot of pellets and bullets are soft metal, so they will deform against a nice hard cast iron skillet.

5.56 is famous for not being able to penetrate anything.

I didn't ask if the patch came out. I asked if another patch was coming out. I missed the negative part.

I played a game after I saw the 5gb patch on steam at 5:30am est this morning.

 

[Yibby]

Here is another Pan-Test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i22-nMxnHrE It can really stop a lot of different calibers.

 

[Idle Storm]

Someone needs to make a gif of samwise gamgee killing orcs with a pan from fellowship of the ring and caption it with "Actual PU Battlegrounds Gameplay"

Did optimization get worse? I was playing on all low and getting 60-70fps before. Just played some earlier with the same settings and getting 40

The motorbike is absurdly fun to just drive around.

I'm constantly getting a crash that says I ran out of VRAM.

[Twookie]

The bike scares the hell outta me, it's so dangerous. My 3-man squad wiped twice today because of flips. It flips so damned easily.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I drove my bike to a crate in what seemed like a barren patch only to see a guy right next to it as it landed, and I ended up flipping the bike over a rocky hill and losing 99% of my health. I had a med kit and lived, but I ended up flipping it twice more (the bike did not end up killing me).

Are you using steam launch options in this game? Latest patch made launch options useless, so you should delete them.

Also check task manager if there's any random program eating all CPU power.

How do you know if your using launch options?

 

[Kadin]

Just keep your eyes on the... grass??

How do you know if your using launch options?

If you right click the game in Steam and go to Properties, there's an option in there to set Launch Options. You would have manually gone in there before to set anything so odds are there aren't any options if you don't remember going in there.

 

[thejpfin]

How do you know if your using launch options?

Steam library->right click playerunknown-> properties.
Then click Set Launch Options, if it's empty then you're good to go.

Edit. LoL, I'm so slow.

 

[Tovarisc]

For those with performance issues

Also if you still use configs from guides, delete GameUserSettings, Scalability and Engine files. Game will create them again. It fixed the game for me and went from 60 FPS to ~110 FPS in a field. Of course it will reset all your settings (in case of GameUserSettings), so if you don't want that to happen, you can just try reverting the changes you made.

If you look closely you can see he's actually hitting a small slope, it's just not very obvious with Twitch compression.

Yeah you can tell he launches off a little bit but the reaction the bike makes is just kinda... off. Funny either way, lol.

Depends on distance and load. 5.56x45mm and 5.45x39 can both crater AR500 steel. Multiple shots could penetrate iron.

If nothing else AK round, 7.62x39, should punch clean through the pan.

Pan blocking .338 Magnum is just absurd.

 

[HowZatOZ]

Probably been asked before but I only just got the game and literally played my first round just then: is there a way to set which region is my default region on hover of the play button? I really want to have OC be my default so I don't have to keep choosing it, and even worse just clicking through after the first round thinking it'd stick to that region.

 

[Got]

I need moar videos of this!!!!

 

[Showshank]

Do fingerless gloves do anything besides make me look super badass?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I'm not sure if I should be able to do this.

Spoiler

also the match ended with me getting knocked out at #11 when a guy shot me around a corner

 

[Severance]

I was about to shoot someone driving a bike and instead, I was able to watch them flip it over a bump and kill themselves. Comedy gold. You definitely have to be careful on the bike, especially over bumps.

Only downside to the patch so far is a sound error. I periodically have my sound cut out for a few seconds. It's not usually for too long, but I'm waiting for it to happen at a pivotal moment when someone is approaching me. Let's hope not.

 

[Plasmid]

51 rounds to get a solo win.

Kept my distance, made it to an incredibly small circle. He tries to grenade me and comes South. The entire time I've been hiding in a bush and I Uzi him when he gets incredibly close.

This game is wild.

Source? I've never heard this.

Moderator of official PUBG Discord asked dev after people noticed how some teams were playing without shoes. Dev confirmed this to be intentional and that not having any shoes on lowers movement audio by 3 to 5 dB.

Edit: In a sense it's like having free extra indestructible armor in form of pan, it doesn't belong in BG

Should make you run slower or something then.
