A larger map with fewer total locations also doesn't help with getting 20 bombs. Most people get eliminated in the 4 meat grinders early on. Capitol, sorting, trainyard, and to a lesser extent Skyhook.
What also makes it even harder is that 99% of the player base is no longer players who don't play shooters like during the launch weeks and the first three months after.
No shortage of complete potato's back then. King's Canyon also had way better rotations for 20 bombs.
[Edit] forgot to add, I had a game yesterday where only 7 squads were remaining before the first ring shrink. Literally with the whole map accessible.
There's so much wrong with this map and this season.
You best believe that when King's Canyon after dark comes out i'll be putting in 12 hour and even 16 hour days if it doesnt involve the community cancerously camping in dark corners and stuff
Playing ranked for a 20 bomb has it's own set of problems. People camp a lot more and move a lot less and thirst mercilessly and with no regard for longevity. Though i guess i would be easier still because theres a shortage of skilled players. I've rarely touched ranked all season so maybe i'll try it towards the end to ensure that the only people left are absolute noobs going nowhere as everyone starts the grind before the season ends
Im not worried about the 4k badge. To me the badge has lost all value. All the damage badges had. I played a game with these 2 dudes that were perfectly content with sniping at a squad and i had an anvil reciever and got off at least 2000 damage alone. Thats not skilled to me. I could easily get a 4k it would just require a playstyle change to the polar opposite. Currently i push everything with 2 ARs or an AR and an SMG.
Yes, I could easily boost. Anyone on this thread can. And pretend to be the legend others will take them for. But that doesnt sit right with me and i want to have the video as proof. When the vast majority of the players got their badges in King's Canyon, and now the rest are boosting because you've made them unobtainable, you have failed as a game developer. You have failed as a game developer RESPAWN. I'm calling you out directly. You've made an atrocious appease the noobs shell of what this game used to be and thats unacceptable. This used to be the best battle royale. I hope your player numbers are dropping that critically if you had to cook up this event. The noobs and the casual players don't spent 500 dollars on the wraith heirloom you bottom feeders.
