Figured I'd post my most used loadout on here as well as my thoughts on it.

Cold-blooded, ghost and tune up as perks to be invisible to radar, thermal scopes and heartbeat censors and tune up for the faster revives.
Semtex and gas grenades is just preference.
 
Now the guns... I dunno how the Kilo compares to the Grau and M4 as I haven't been bothered to check, but this thing is accurate as hell and I seem to win 80% of my gunsfights with it. There's two things that makes it stand out above other AR's for me. It's accuracy over range which in my opinion can battle the FAL and the fact tht you can put a 100 round mag on it. Rather than running an LMG to get that kind of ammo capacity, run the Kilo, you will run faster with this than an LMG and the reload time? Hah! I barely notice any difference between the Kilo's 60 round mag and the 100 round mag.
 
Now the crown jewel. The Renetti Akimbo. Close quarters this thing will win you ANY gunfight. Just spam those two triggers as fast as you can and try to keep your aim on them as there will be some recoil 😄 These things are just so much fun and so good they will probably get nerfed at some point to be honest. I'm still conflicted if I liked it better without akimbo or not as with the one gun I could take on fights at slightly longer ranges, but akimbo nothing will stop these bad boys except if you run into someone running a shotty.

I've been levelling up the Renetti like crazy the last couple of days and now with double xp and double weapon xp this thing is skyrocketing through the levels. I've now ulocked the burst mod and I'm not far away from having it akimbo. If you have a fast trigger finger, give this gun a go! I can outgun any AR user between 0-20 meters if I can land my shots with it, I've also got some very nasty 180 kills where I get shot in the back and manage to turn around and waste the guy just in time to survive. These things are so effing OP and just perfect as a secondary for an AR if you don't enjoy using launchers. After I unlocked the burst mod for it, it just got even better. I imagine this thing is a LOT easier to level up in multiplayer and playing hardcore, but if you don't have the full game, drop into some plunder matches and go for the different contracts. Each one you complete gives you 500 weapon xp, just don't forget to have you pistol out! That 500 weapon xp only counts towards the weapon currently in your hands!
 
I've got some great clips with this thing as well that I need to upload that will definetly prove my point 😄 

I just completed this quiz.


My Score 37/100 My Time 293 seconds  

Didn't actually see a topic for this, other then an old one about the old FG server we had so I figured I'd make a more genral one to talk about all things Ark.
 
I recently got the Genesis Season pass and I'm trying to get back into Ark, but daaaamn did they make this new map difficult. Yes sure there's tons of new things and new creatures and I can't wait to jump into it and build, craft and tame everything while exploring, but this map is just brutal. If ayone has ever played the Scorched Earth DLC it feels like that, without the blistering heat.
 
I first tried to get situated in the Volcanic biome, but after dying to t-rexes and basilisks over and over I admitted defeat and opted for the "easy" biome, the bog. "Easy"? Nope! Sarco's, Baryonyx, Raptors, swarms of insects and more. They are everywhere and you can't escape the damn things because as soon as you run past the next bush there's something else trying to kill you 😄  But I love every second of it because it's something new and shiny.
 
I know @Nutcuttlit  has also got the new map, but if there's more of you and you wanna tag along let us know, I'd love to get set up on a pvp server with a couple of us to take on everyone else!

Accepted it yesterday mate 🙂 

Just finished season 2 of Sunderland til I die yesterday. I've also watched the similar show about Juventus. As for Studio Ghibli, isn't that anime stuff? @tronic44 I have already seen every season of Lucifer. Absolutely love the show and can't wait for the next season. Will look up Good Omens though!

@phil bottle sadly Anno 1800 isn't on the Ps4 yet. I checked this morning and the closest thing would be Civilisation VI. Used to play those games back when I had a not shite laptop, but dunno how they play on a console... Might see if I can find some Ps4 gameplay on the old youtube.
 
@GazzaGarratt not gonna lie, I don't enjoy RPG's much. The last one I played on console was Elder Scrolls online and it was kinda sucky as you HAD to go for one of the meta builds or you would just get fucked in PvE and PvP. Add that you just need to spend ages and ages to grind for decent gear... Or in some cases pull your credit card out. Just not a big fan of RPG's. I did debate on The Division 2 as I saw it was on sale with a heavily reduced price, but hearing Marc and Aaron bitch about trying to get high tier gear I just don't want to give it a go 😄 

Nice thread Seb.
 
One thing I never go for is the Loadout Drops. I'm working towards having a loadout in case I ever need one but the whole idea of Warzone that makes it good is that you go searching for loot boxes and see what guns you can find.
 
Weapons
If I can find a purple or gold AR, not a burst one - the Grau variants I find are the best, followed by long distance SMGs, MP5 and clearly the AUG if you can find one.
 
Sniper for a secondary is ideal too. Semi-God Dragunov's can be a great pick up in the early stages of the circle closing in.
 
Shotguns are no-no for me. Only time I think they are useful is when you immediately land in a place with many buildings and players in the same place. The map is too big to waste a slot on a shotgun.
 
Killstreaks
When I'm usually on it's with @Stretch616  of late and we always pick up UAVs for $4000. So useful across the entire map, no matter when you use it. After that it's enough funds for a potential revive and lately using spare cash to get armour plates.
 
Tactical
Heartbeat Sensor FTW. Appreciate people trying to get around it by wearing cold-blooded but many dont wear that still so works for most of the time.
 
Lethal
Semtex or Molotov. I like Molotovs because you can lock someone in an entrance with the fire.
 
Playstyle
 
Usually it's around the edge of the circle to drop in and then it's all about making the game as fun packed as possible. So drop in, find guns and then either find a contract that's nearby or go for near players to grab kills and the cash. We do get a couple of games where we land lucky, get great drops and circle is on us and at those times we'll find a good building and camp up but I'd rather go out there and make the game more interesting.

Great thread sebba! I’ve only played about 4 games on WarZone and have no idea about layouts or anything. This was very useful for some that knows nothing haha
 
Will have to play more games and write something up myself, I just never know what gun I’m using haha

As many of us now find ourselves confined to our homes during this pandemic, I can't help but wonder how are you keeping yourselves entertained?
 
I didn't think this would hit me as hard as it has as I'm somewhat of an introvert, but it's gotten to the point where I'm so fucking bored that I keep checking the playstation store several times a day for something new to waste time on, or I check Netflix 2-3 times a day only to give up every time as any show and movie on there that interests me, I've already seen...
I bought Need for speed Heat a little over a week ago thinking "Oh, this will keep me entertained for a while". I already completed the damn story after 5 days (while also playing 2-3 other games during those 5 days) and I'm now just doing the same races over and over with a massively overtuned car to get money to buy more massively overtuned cars.
 
But yeah, I'm bored as hell and it's gotten to the point where at 9 o'clock in the evening I'm considering just going to bed as I've got fuck all to do 😄
Any recommendations for games, shows, movies or even books to help me kill time would be greatly appreciated!

Sadly I only have an old 3DS. Never got around to upgrading to the Switch.
 
I've seen some gameplay of Anno before, but not sure if it is on the Ps4, I'll have to look into that.
 
As for books I usually enjoy fantasy stuff. Mostly set in medieval times but I do read other things as well, I've got quite a few of Joe Abercrombies books, the whole Hungergames series, some of the GoT books, all the Harry Potter books and I've also read The Godfather. I don't buy books very often as I kinda stuggle to find ones I actually enjoy and the ones I have I've probably read all the way through 10+ times each by now 😄
 
Might give that Netflix show a try, but never been a fan of horror having a violently vivid imagination and living pretty isolated in the middle of the woods kind of curbs your enthusiasm for that kinda stuff 😅

As Warzone has been out for a while now and most of what was overpowered at the start has been well and truly countered by now, I wonder, what works for you?
 
To be a bit more specific, what guns do you find work better for you, what type of playstyle have you had the most success with, which perks do you run and what equipment do you use?
 
At the start I ran the very meta M4 and Thermal sniper overkill combo as well as a heartbeat sensor and depending on the safe zone I'd switch my playstyle from agressive to camping little cunt.
Lately it seems the M4 is still used by a lot of people, but I've moved away from it as I prefer the Grau 5.56, FAL, Aug and Ak-47. As for snipers, I barely use them now because running overkill has become riskier to run as a perk. More people are getting and using UAV's, so Ghost has become one of the perks I run the most. Where before 80% of my classes were set up with overkill and the remaining 20% had ghost, that's now switched.
 
Another reason I don't use the sniper is the lens glare. It's such a massive giveaway and even if the team you are trying to snipe doesn't see you, the chances are high a different team will see you. And where I used to run the thermal scopes before, I'm starting to consider taking it off. Everyone runs cold blooded now. This also makes the heartbeat sensor completely useless, where before using one would save you from running into a house full of campers, you just have to barge in and hope for the best now. I had heartbeat sensors on all of my Warzone classes, now I run the Gas grenade as it will force the enemy to hip fire their guns and will blur their vision. Not sure if it will still do that if they have a gas mask, but even if they do, they still have to hipfire while pulling it down which gives me an edge.
 
As for secondaries now that I've stopped running overkill on most classes, I've mostly been running the RPG. Used in the right situations and with a bit of luck this thing can be devastating. I've gotten so many double and tripple kills with this thing over the last week I could probably make a several minute montage out of it. You kinda rely on getting a munitions box to use it a lot though as the ammo for it seems pretty rare to find running around Verdansk. But there are other options! I've seen people run the akimbo revolvers and I've been completely mangled by them a couple of times myself. And then there's the new pistol, the Renetti. I'm trying my best to level this gun up at the moment after getting to try out Dark_Uprising's akimbo, burst Renetti's in warzone. A single tap on both triggers up close and whoever was in front of you is now on the floor 😄 This gun is a goddamn beast and I can't wait to get it akimbo'ed!
 
As for playstyle, I find I do better hugging the edge of the gas while trying to maintain at least some cover. I've stopped trying to go into buildings late game unless I'm 110% sure there is no one in there or I'm getting shot at and have no choice but to go inside to survive. Early game I don't mind pushing deeper into the circle in order to make sure you don't have to go too far as the storm tends to be faster early game than late game. I would also recommend doing the recon contracts if you can, getting that circle peek so you know where the circle is going is pretty damn big. If you manage to take control of a building that will be in one of the later circles early on, you are pretty much set for the whole game.

It's so much fun to use @slamminbones
 
 
Here's the other game with @Misneach_  and @Mikepjbell  
 
 

Right. The RPG! Fucking get it! I've lost count of the amount of double and tripple kills I've gotten with this thing over the ast few days. Either clearing out rooms, houses or blowing up vehicles, this thing is immense! If you haven't already, give it a go, I pulled 2 games back to back tonight playing trio's with Matt and Mike Bell using the Ak47 and RPG. After the 2nd game even Matt started using it 😄

Here's one of the games from yesterday

Rather than type out a wall of text I'll upload some games when I wake up tomorrow and show some damn good games I had with @Misneach_  and @Mikepjbell  tonight. The boys were on fucking fire!

Jordie! Thought I saw your name pop up on my friendslist today. Hope all is well! Good to see you getting back into things 🙂

If you want to run any semi automatic rifle, there's a couple of options out there that aren't half bad. However, I would not pair these with another long range weapon like you're talking of doing with the FAL and a sniper @GazzaGarratt, but if it works for you, go for it. Personally I'd run FAL and Aug rather than FAL and AX-50.
 
But a couple things to keep in mind when making those classes.
 
- The FAL uses AR ammo. That means you can have a semi-auto sniper (provided you unlock the sniper scopes) with a max of 200 rounds on you. It also takes about 4 shots to down someone with an FAL.
 
- Markman rifles and sniper rifles use the same ammo type. This means at all times you will never have more than however much is in your clip, and an additional 40 rounds that your character holds. This means weapons like the EBR that you can technically use as a multipurpouse weapon at all ranges depending on the scope attachment will burn through ammo VERY fast and sniper ammo is also the hardest to find.
 
- Scopes. These all boil down to preference in the end, but I'll share my views on some of them anyways. On a sniper rifle, if you've unlocked any of the thermal scopes, use them. You'll pick up a lot of kills and know where enemy teams are thanks to it. Unless people have gotten their loadouts and are running cold-blooded, you'll see them even at 500 meters. If they are running cold blooded, you'll still see them but not as clearly. On the FAL/EBR and similar rifles, I'd suggest using a 4x magnification scope or around that as it will still do alright at range and also up close and it won't give off the "glint" the sniper scopes/thermal scope do. I'm not 100% sure if an AR with a sniper scope gives of the glint or not, but if it does, having a scope with less magnification will make you a ton harder to spot from range.
 
- Magazine sizes matter more in close quarters than long range. If you run an SMG or M4/Grau/M13 or what ever, having a larger clip in case shit hits the fan and you have multiple targets to shoot at in a firefight will help you a lot obviously. But on a sniper, do you really need it? I've been running the bog standard mags on my AX-50 and I've been doing just fine. I'd rather take an attachment that makes my shots more accurate, or do more damage than to have 2-3 shots more per mag.
 
- Aim down sights time. On a SMG/AR this still matters, on a sniper it really doesn't. At least not in Warzone. My AX-50 is slow as an old geriatric geezer trying to unstick his left nut from his thigh on a hot summer day to aim down sights, but it's accurate as fuck and it will deal some serious damage if I hit upper body or headshots. You're not trying to 720 no scope kids for youtube clips, you wanna put these fuckers in their graves, stability, recoil control and damage is what you want.
 
This works for me, something else might work for you, but some of my insight should be helpful. Also, the Kar98K is more fun than it is good in Warzone 😄 

It's pretty different from the battle royale mode in Black Ops 4. Other than it being a CoD game and Battle royale, not many similarities at all

Harry Kane to leave Spurs? Thoughts on that @phil bottle? Not gonna lie after all the years you boys had with shite strikers (Adebayor and Soldado) I'm kind of sad to see him leave. Specially if it means he ends up at United or god forbid Barca...

With blueprints I'm guessing you are referring to the stuff you unlock in the armory? Most of those guns are pretty bad to be honest, I think the exception for me so far has been one of the Kar98k blueprints that gave me a scope I hadn't unlocked yet. Like others have mentioned, use it until you unlock more attachments on your guns.
 
As for specific guns to level up for Warzone I'd recommend the Aug (Can get 5.56 NATO clips and it will essentially become an AR with the mobility and fire rate of an SMG and it also has the best damage output). Grau 5.56 / M4A1. Pretty much the same gun with the M4 having a tiny bit better stability while the Grau has more damage. At least with the attachments I put on them. Ax-50 / HDR, whichever one floats your boat really...
 
As for contracts in Warzone, I recommend the flags. Land somewhere that has 2-3 of the flag things close by each other so you get the "Circle peek" each time you complete one, HUGE advantage. If you just need cash and armour plates real quick the scavenger one isn't bad either. As for the bounty.... I'd say it comes down to personal preference. Sometimes I pick them up just so I'll know where at least one enemy squad  is. I may go for it depending on 2 things: Who I'm playing with and if the bounty target is in a big building or not. If they are in a big building with a lot of hiding places... Don't bother.
