Graphics settings advantage?

[Henry Crabgrass]

Is this one of those games where you turn everything but render distance to lowest to gain an advantage because foliage/debris won't hide enemy players? Just curious.

Yes and no. The render distance is terrible no matter what setting, a lot of foilage or walls / obstacles just disappear over a certain distance. Personally I wouldn't bother too much about it because the advantage isn't as big as in other games. Removing shadows can give you a little bit of an advantage because the picture just looks generally brighter. But as I said it's nothing too crazy.

entire sections of foliage including bushes completely disappear using medium settings. not just at range, but in your immediate vicinity.

Unfortunately, there is no fairness in this world, more money you can afford = better viewing advantage = better kill, just like the tiger tank vs allied tanks in the past. 98% first kill at 1800m vs Sheman/T34 at 700m. And you can be the judge.

I think it depends on your eyes. I have everything set to highest except for FSAA. Anti-Aliasing makes things too blurry for me.

Thats not what he said tho. He is asking if turning DOWN settings will give you an advantage, like it does in other games like PUBG.

Lower settings = less fidelity
Less fidelity = less bushes, grass, leaves on trees etc, which = better visibility

So you're hiding in this very tall bush, 100% covered, nobody can see you.
Then an enemy turns down his settings to low, removing the grass around you, removing the leaves on the bush.

The question:
Does turning down the options do this, or does it not do this.

Did you read his post? He was talking about turning off all the settings. Money doesnt = all the settings off and you dont need money to turn everything off and max out render distance.

The answer is yes, playing on low settings gives you an advantage in this game. Especially seeing enemy in grass and bushes, trees, etc.
