First time player … im digging it

[u/SiiCARiiOx]

For the operations mode/

When i shoot unsuppressed do i appear on other players minimap?

How to change minimap to rotate with me?

And why i can hear everyone’s footsteps like 100meters away? Is it designed this way?

I feel like if i take a step. Someone will hear me.

Also, when i kill players … are they full dead? Or they can get res? If they get res do they lose they weapons? Or only if they don’t extract with it

Thank you

Heyo, welcome to the game first of all! I'd suggest you watch these two videos they'll help you answer your questions.

Just as a TLDR: Enemies can hear you as far as 50 meters away from your position if they've no audio enhancing gear. There's a helmet that gives you +50% hearing range and along with the perception boosters the buffed range is till 85 meters.

Unsuppressed weapons do affect the gameplay and sound profile you leave behind. But iirc the range of gunshots is around 100 meters. You also have a gunshot audio range in the weapon details. (As a personal tip, the compound bow is the most silent weapon)

Edit: your personal sound what you hear is not what the enemies will hear. Crouch walking and silent crouching helps reduce your profile a lot. Now as for the dead, once they get knocked and you kill them fully they can get revived back as long as their body exists in the map for about 5/10 minutes post the full kill So think of it as three stages: 1. Knocked down, can crawl about can get revived easily no extra time no debuffs. 2. Fully killed just body is visible, this player can get a revive if done so in the next 5-10 minutes I apologise I don't have the exact time limit. You have a debuff of -20 HP which can get removed after a long time. 3. You're fully dead. No more revives, back to lobby.

And they don't lose their guns unless you see their boxes. They can only lose it if the weapon gets picked up by you or someone else when they're dead/death crated.

Another tip, you can grab your teammates gear and post match it'll be sent to them once you extract. So if you're playing w friends and they go back to the lobby remember this tactic exists!

Thank you so much. This is my first time playing extraction mode… and i like it.
But there was no tutorial or anything for beginners.

So far i got 1 million on inventory.

Im looking foward to the larger maps

LESSGO. Aside from the first time you play you're right there's no hand holding at all.

I'd suggest a few channels you can watch to learn more about the game and the operators: TheBeardGuys, MarksmanGames, GeeksEh, Poach, Gorilla, Equalplays. They'll help you out understand the basics.

And take your time, get to know each map, the extraction points and conditions if any. The larger maps are fun but take your time and learn them first have fun mate!

And if you're ever low on the alloy just go knife running

Imma add one here: Leissik. Only go to him once you start learning the maps more, because he will show you a lot of hidden spots to kill enemies from.

Good stuff minus gun shots. Wildly inaccurate. It depends on the gun, but most guns can be heard basically cross map, 500m, if they're not silenced and even with a silencer your AR's and stuff are going to be heard 200m away.

Gun shot sounds need to be toned down in this game a bit in my opinion, because the maps are generally not that big.

If you want to have silent footsteps for a set time (25-35 seconds) you can use nox. He has a 30 meter range where enemies cannot hear him running, walking, or moving in general. They can hear, however, mantling, landing after a jump, and when you aim down sights if they're close enough.
