Is everyone sweatier this season?

I was getting picked off on my glider and definitely wouldn’t have won this one without strategic bush utilization. It seems like every endgame is like this now. Is it just me?

A few solo wins the last couple days (my son just started a new job so we play when we can)

He only has had one day off since he started working last Tuesday so we only get in one or two games a night. But. I do decent running solo. Even for another crowned win in reload.

I am not liking blitz right now. The XP is minimum … the big heads have run their course. I don’t mind playing reload or even zb solo. I feel like I’m doing okay going solo.

I sure miss our regular games but the kid’s gotta earn a living (I use kid loosely. He’s 22… but we have fun when we do play). I am a little sad our binge games are slowing down. But it makes me appreciate the time even more so. The reload game I just won a few seconds ago too. Someone dropped a crown in the lobby and I picked it up and ran off with it.

Weapon Binds

What keybinds do you use for your weapons?

I recently switched from controller to keyboard and mouse, and I’m struggling to get comfortable with the default 1–5 keys—possibly because I have smaller hands.

Oceania players for Zb?

Hey all, 47yo dad in Aus looking for Zb players to join. Just came back to the game this year after stopping in chapter 2 S3. I'm relearning on kb/m (controller player for 30+years) & just having fun, i'm a trash can at builds but i do alright at zero build. I'm fine if you don't want to talk heaps or at all, if you can ping an enemy you see that's plenty :) I'm on most nights for an hour or 2 on xbox one, my xbox id is: Bovo4187 & Epic id is: Bovo-LttL. If you are terrible at the game, let's be terrible together, i just want to find people to play with.
