I’ve stated before that when you start at low level, you usually (not always but usually) get matched with people more or less your level. Once you hit around level 40 it matches you with whatever.
Now that I’ve been playing using low level weapons, no specializations, no extended mags, sights, etc. I am once again queuing up usually with low level players. Is it possible that this game makes the matchmaking based on weapons/perks and not level? Have somebody else experience this?
I Have and i think its based on pre set pred perks just so u dont get crushed by pred perks it matches u with people who got like op defensive perks lol
I also noticed that around lvl 60ish when like when i first started playing it was like new players lol…
Oh and i also noticed that pigs spawn like shit ton if ur versing like non pre made team and people who have trash loadouts and play very poorly…
But when i versed the pre mades most of the time it was like 99% no decent pig spawns only like 2 pigs spawned max causing me to slow down and use my medkit injection and waste bunch of time and like i kept being forced to just like lose cause legit no healing source anywhere on map and i used like all my medkit injections lol…
So yeah i think smth is very sus with matchmaking and pig spawning…
I doubt it only because I don’t really use low level gear or anything and I get a lot of obviously newer players.
Some even tell me how recent they started, like few weeks, few days.
Or do you mean purely ft?
Like if you have low level stuff on ft, you get paired with newer ft?
Theres honestly an influx of new players because of fortnite so thats another thing.
But just going off my games recently, no I dont think so.
yeap, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Is not always, but it is definitely more common now for me than before. Only change I did was using first assault rifle, first pistol and no specialization.
This needs multiple ppl to test it.
I definitely Wouldnt be able to tell since I dont play too much ft.
Premades run around and are constantly moving - speedrunning objectives or chasing pred so you don’t get a lot of pigs. Bad pubs get stalled at one compound so a bunch of pigs spawn the longer they’re stuck there.
It deals with camping in a way but yeah definitely punishes bad players
Okay but lemme stop u right there, didnt illfonic change pig spawns to not spawn like that anymore? They did say changes to pig spawn but now people still managed to find a way to exploit and eliminate game mechanic for predafor which i find very unfair xD…
Either way i think there should be atleast one pig spawning next to predator consistantly overtime if they keep camping other pigs nearby the fireteam or not allowing them to spawn.
I think they just adjusted the frequency of spawns, there’s no way pig spawns are based on whether or not people are running meta loadouts. There have always been places pigs don’t spawn though and still don’t.
So that means illfonic is still lying lol…
Technically adjusting the frequency is still changing pig spawns lol
Technically they saId “pig spawns have been fixed” and not “are still being fixed bare with us”
pig spawns are so random. Sometimes I will see a pig right there when I load into the game. Sometimes there’s a swarm nearby the FT. Sometimes there’s isn’t a single one on the map. You hear them, you do a target isolation, nothing pops up. I do find the frequency of pig spawning more apparent on low tier teams, when I need them less, than when facing good teams, when I need them the most.
There should be fixed locations for pig spawning, like creeks and puddles. There are 3 or 4 perma-kits for FT on each map. The whole random shit clearly isn’t working.
I do not believe they spawn on FT because, well… load into a private match by yourself and you still find pigs.
Yeh idk it happened to me when i dont take any damage that the pigs tend to spawn a shit ton… like when i dont get noticed at all thats when pigs spawn a lot and im like huh well thats stupid.
When I run with a full squad of players, that all hit 150 long ago, we still occasionally get matched with “baby preds.” We typically take it easy and don’t chase them in second wind.
Idk i wouldnt make a mistake like that and not change preds… neither i show mercy as a pred or fireteam… it just bites u back in the ass
You can usually tell. They typically take almost 3 min just to find the fireteam. They will kill AI. They initiate with melee. All default cosmetics.
Anyway, I don’t think skill is considered for matchmaking.
Yeah thats a problem they should consider like Win ratio as a matchmaking lol
Pred has its own pig spawn its just not nearly as consistent as all the pigs you get near the FT. Same pig you see when you drop in. Despawns when you leap away.
They spawn at the same fixed locations at compounds though? Just near the FT’s mission objectives so they can contest it. Up on the cliff at the backwater compound, along the fence at derailed, etc etc you get what i’m saying. Timer seems random but the spawns themselves aren’t. The target iso range sucks though and is only meant to be used near the FT otherwise its going to seem like its not working if you leap across the map looking for pigs.
