I've been grinding Rondo since it came out and honestly I was about to give up on this map completely. Everyone just flies through the buildings like they know every corner and I'm out here getting third partied every single time. Today though something clicked, I landed at that construction site near the center and actually played it slow for once instead of my usual dumb aggro pushes. Got into final circle with 6 kills which isnt much but whatever, last guy had a Beryl and I managed to outposition him near the rocks. My hands were literally shaking when I got the final knock lol. Funny thing is I was on my phone in the waiting lobby and almost missed the plane jump xD

Also can someone tell me if the M16 is actually viable now or am I just bad with burst weapons? I keep seeing people shred with it but I cant hit anything past 50m

Could it be that the boost from the drinks saved him?

I'm sure this gets posted a lot but I had my experience with SMGs past few games and I had to write something.

When I started playing this game back in 2017 I knew nothing.

It took me a lot of time to get some experience and learn some things about it and how to play it "properly".

That's what made me love it, learning curve and learning time.

Like, I used to revive my teammate without smoke grenade until I realized that's what I need to have with me always.

We used to run across the map because we didn't want to drive a car, someone can hear us.

It took us a month to get our first chicken dinner. I remember we used to share that crap on Instagram stories how proud we were.

Fast forward to present and this nonsense that devs, who I may say are out of touch with their playerbase, made with the game. It's so noob friendly. I undestand you want to get new players to the game, but this is not Call of Duty or Battlefield. This is PUBG, and what made it standout is how hard the game is, people loved it.

You have to earn your victory, your kills. You have to learn how to do it.

Few nights back I got killed by a guy with UMP, and I continued to spectate him and his teammate who had MP5K.

They were invicible, they never ran from any fights, instead they were joining it so fearlessly because they knew they can't be touched.

Today I was checking my PUBG report and that guy who killed me was a streamer, and he was cursing the SMGs, Krafton and the devs because what they did to the game and it's weapon "balancing", so he picked UMP just to show people how gamechanging it is.

I did it also, today and I got into 3 fights which if I used AR should have lost, but I had UMP and I killed 3 guys with no sweat at all. It's ridicoulus, bad and I thank God I started to play ABI so I don't have to suffer this nonsense all the time.

And people were complaining all the time, and the devs? Devs intruduced an update where you can pick up deathbox from a player. Wow.

PUBG's Insane SMG Buff.

Edit : Grammar

Last night I hopped on PUBG for a few games just to kill some time. Between queues I was on myprize while waiting, and honestly I didn’t expect anything special. Most nights it’s just the usual land, loot, get third-partied, repeat. But then I loaded into Erangel and it turned into one of those matches that just flows. I dropped near Rozhok, barely scraped together a level 2 vest, an M4 with no attachments, and a half empty backpack, but somehow I kept surviving every fight. Circle kept shifting in my favor, which never happens, and for once I didn’t panic my shots. Hit a clean spray on a guy peeking a window, then later knocked a duo who thought they had me pinched. By the time final zone came, it was me versus three players left. My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my headset. One squad pushed in, I managed to third-party at the perfect moment, and suddenly it was just me and one last guy. I swear I was shaking when I lined up that last shot, but it connected. Winner Winner. It wasn’t even my highest kill game, but everything about it felt right good rotations, lucky circles, and just enough aim not to choke. Nights like that remind me why I keep coming back through all the frustrating lobbies and bad drops. Anyone else had one of those matches recently where the game just felt on your side for once?
