Minimap Marker to show shooter position

[Reshala]

Now it's 50-50 with me too, I like the tactical position and the mystery of where the shooter is. However, most of the time i'm the guy getting shot at by some unknown shooter. I think luck of the circle land is a little too OP right now depending on your position.

I think similar to battlefield or Call of Duty (I know cancer example) but their mini-map is all I would like to use an example of. It would give someone a better chance at returning fire, the loss of frustration from where you're getting shot at and at least some type of idea where the person was when you actually die. It would give people something more to think about before they just start taking you out from who knows where. Not everyone has these great headphones to determine location of bullet and distance.

Too many times do I see bullets, get hit, hide behind a tree, get hit... least give me some chance! Luck of the positioning.

Eh, I like the mystery of finding the hunter, I think the marker would just make the game "Arcade-ish" if you know what I mean, I mean it could potentially be worth a try but I know for sure I wouldn't end up liking it since it would be easy to just align with the attacker if you get ambushed IF he doesn't swiftly end you since he got the ambush.

While it is frustrating to be constantly fired upon by people you can't see, isn't that the point of good positioning? For someone to be able to make pics without being seen? If someone obtains a silencer then whats the point if they are just gonna be shown on the minimap anyway.

Edit: there is no luck with positioning until end game. being able to position yourself well is a skill and one that you should put alot of effort into developing, in my opinion, more so than shooting.

Yeahhh like I said it's 50-50, maybe it's just the rage in me from the past few games however.. I feel like even listening or viewing bullet shots that miss are a bit bugged. I see a bullet hit the tree behind me, hide behind that tree, get shot in another direction. Possibly 2 shooters? Doubt it after sub 15 people. Silencer as rare as it is, would not show on the map making it even better.

It's different in this game when you only have one life compared to others. Most of the time when you get shot at and you have zero direction of where he is, you're pretty much a goner.

Maybe a custom game option at least. I'd like to see if it was too OP of an option or just flat out cheap.

[Killermen962]

A custom game option would be fine, but I wouldn't see it mainstream, the creators really want as much realism they can get without ruining/over-complicating the game, though we currently have flying cars if that means anything, yet to become a spaceman....

no, just no. That is for arcade shooters. this isn't a flatout arcade shooter.

This is a GG moment. Don't need to dumb down the game because you fail to spot your shooter.

I feel like end game is leaning a little bit on the "luck of the circle" at them moment. Especially when the circle closes around an area where prone crawling does nothing exxcept make you an easier target like a big road or something. But making people show on the minimap wouldnt solve that problem. It would just make it so people that position themselves on the edge houses of lets say Pochinki looking over the field, are not rewarded for their risks getting there.

Agreed, got 2 wins today and one included me being ridiculously favored, house campers had to cross the field toward me, was a sad sight but we've all been there, done that, just got to get the lucky ticket.

Calm down ya angry guy. There are just more times in this game that you fail to spot your shooter over any chance to retaliate... Most of it is circle luck.

You can guess why you got killed in pubg.

Did you make noise? People will hear it and make a note of it.

Did you shoot your weapon the last 5 min ? People will remember that shot.

Did you open all the doors in a house? People will know someone was here and and can tell they went towards the safe zone. They will track you.


Did run across an open field? A good player will wait until you go across the field just so he doesn't have a hard time to kill you and wait until anyone else spots you too so he'll know somonenelse is there. Don't run across fields. If you do run zig zag.
