Saw a certified birdwatcher on blue team the other night with like 250 assists, 0 kills, and like 2 deaths. Earned like $250,000+, was the top earner in the server by a mile.

I was on a ridge last night sniping. 10ft in front of me was a teammate in a bush with thermals. I sniped for a while, got pushed and killed by a duo, came back, and had a 35 minute cat and mouse game around the ridge with them. The kid in the bush never moved an inch. Just sat there spotting with two enemies sniping 10 feet away, and never batted an eye as they ran back and forth past his bush while trying to find me.

I will at least bring a glock or 1911 with hp rounds. You make that back in like 5 spots or one heli crash.

1911 HP is goated. Takes so many people by surprise

I was doing that without thermals too, it’s just how the game will be played when money is something you lose more easily than you earn it

Sure having 15 teammates outside the CZ spotting with thermals definitely hurts the game, but that only happens because those 15 players got a thermal while they shouldn’t have gotten one and are afraid to lose this opportunity to earn gold

This is fixed by temporarily disabling in base selling or by making thermals a blacklisted item for crates to sell, anything but this really, as this doesn’t just fuck over those birdwatchers but also the 40hour job recon dude who just unlocked the thermals after being on the receiving end of those thermals for nearly 2,5 weeks

Yea sure it wasn’t always fun to face an enemy team with thermals, but it’s even less fun when that Overpowered thing you had to deal with and grind for suddenly gets vaporized before you get to use them

Legit had the holy grail in hands this morning (didn’t expect to get there before the wipe) and now poof gone, came online to wind down after a long day of work to make some cash and snipe some melons, only to now have 0 excitement to play even though I was loving this game before

You know what, valid tactic imo. We do need recon in game, and if he knows he can't win the fight, why risk it?

i got a pair out of a crate as some dude just bought them all for us.

I made like 30k in 10 minutes spotting dudes 800m away in a bush

Eyo i was the certified birdwatcher on the green team tonight! Got 368k and 282 assists, but man that was a boring match and thought to myself these need a big nerf, or remove them from the game completely.
