Fortnite Battle Royale

My daughter once landed in the top of a tree and finished top 5 without even moving :D

Going to have to try landing in a tree and see if it works for me lol

Finished 2nd last night by having a lot of luck with how the circle reduced in size. Got down to last two and I thought the other lad was in a building, he was actually in a goddam bush and took me out before I saw him...aaarrgghhh!

You see, bush camping the way forward :)
 
I got PUBG for my Xbox yesterday, blimey the map is big, if you get unlucky with your drop and you can’t find a vehicle (which I usually don’t) you’re just about buggered. Managed a 4th place last night though 😉
 
I’ve been playing PUBG for a couple weeks. Every patch released has made a big difference to the game but the graphics are still closer to N64 Goldeneye than COD on Xbox.

However I’m really enjoying it. I’ve come 5th without even firing my weapon before
 
Been off work this week with a sickness bug and smashed out quite a bit of PUBG - for all it's flaws I still absolutely love it, not touched Fortnite since it came out. No chicken dinners this week but 3 2nd's and a few 3rds. Just keep bottling it in the end zone and making stupid plays. Been watching a load of Shroud as well, and man, he is absolutely insane. Super aggressive, unreal reflexes and accuracy, always in the right position, knows exactly where shots are coming from, he's awesome to watch.

Worth a look if you're wanting some tips.
 
Why did I read this thread? I knew nothing of PUBG and since reading I downloaded yesterday and it was 03:30hrs this morning when I went to bed and I'm typing this in between games. ARGGGHHHHHHHHHHH

14 left is my best by the way.
 
Been playing PUBG Duo's with my best mate since launch and finally got our first win. Played fairly passive but it paid off big time. I ended up getting the final two kills. The last kill I made such a dumb move I'm amazed I survived and didn't get shot at. I basically moved right in slow motion from one tree to another and once I got to the 2nd tree I saw the final guy, lined him up and headshotted him with an M4, no idea why he didn't shoot me while I moved in slow motion but ah well, it paid off. Since then our confidence has sky-rocketed. No win last night but played 4 games and got 4 top 10's, we're up to 35% top 10's which is a pretty solid record. I've now got 3 wins too, 2 solo's and 1 duo's, pretty happy with that.
 
Got a 2nd on PUBG the other day, my best result yet. Was one of those where I barely moved the entire game, I cleaned out a farm for guns and then just camped under a bush as the circle shrunk around me. Got to the last 3 with the circle about the size of a football box, it was quite comical in a way as it as obvious no one wanted to pop their head up from the long grass. I could see one player in front of me crawling right towards me, I had no option but to take him out but that opened me up to the other player, I didn't get chance to get a decent shot off before he nailed me.
 
Winning games is as much luck as it is skill. If you get lucky with the zone positioning and no-one comes up from behind on you and you can hide successfully until the end you've got a good chance, but there are certain situations where you just have to shoot and that just gives away your position and from there it's pot luck. Absolutely love the game though, as addicted to it now as I was when it first came out. Have majorly fallen out of love with FIFA as this year's game is horrendous so it's nice to have a game that has replaced it in terms of the time I put into it. Will be even better when we get Miramar as well, add that little bit of extra variety.
 
I was watching GINX yesterday and they mentioned another PUBG type game coming out next year called Fear The Wolves. It sounds like rather than all the world being passive, there will be enemies and elements which can kill you so I guess camping will be trickier.
 
XboxDVR is pretty cool - just gif'd up the winning moment :D

LOL quality. How do you save the last bit of the game? I've never really done well enough to merit it :D

Hit guide once the game finishes, head over to Broadcast -> Capture -> Select how long you want to capture and it'll clip it up. You then need to make sure your profile settings are set-up to allow public access to clips and you can share them on sites such as XboxDVR via your gamertag. Pretty cool!
 
Managed a 4th place the other day.

I'm just kind of unlucky, as in I'll go through a door with options to turn left or right and I'll turn in the direction opposite to where someone is hiding and I get shot in the back. 50/50 chance and I always pick the wrong one.
 
First 2nd place, was in a good place prone in a bush, saw the guy running up, took a shot missed went to ADS 4x scope on, zoomed passed him he saw me and got me. In hindsight switching back to the non scoped M16 in burst would've been better.
 
Tap the left trigger and it will bring up the scope. You can then stand still and use LB to enter ADS mode, which if you have a 4x+ scope it will hold your breath to increase accuracy, or if you have a red dot/holographic it zooms in (as you can see on my clip above).
