[Lera]

hello guys I'm a girl from Ukraine I really want to play Squad but I don't have enough money can someone help me I have a lot of free time so I can play with you at any time. I am 17 years old and my name is Lera

[SpaceWendigo]

it dont help when their 200+ meters away everything just looks like a black blob in this game at that range, fire and see if you get a TK lol i think the devs could make it less of an issue if the name tags would just pop up, or maybe just a blue berry over friendlys heads, you be staring at a person for 3 minutes trying to figure out who they are just to say yeet and hope it aint craig lol

[REAPER ONE]

[DaVinki]

russian camo is better so they are invisible

[Drunk Punk]

I always distinguish russian uniforms from US uniforms by looking at whether their arms and elbows are black, pretty surefire way to figure it out, and works from every angle

[Xtal]

Personally i dont get russian and US desert camos mixed up. The russian camos look much lighter, almost white from a distance while american camo is more brown/dark tan
