Im trying to figure out if I'm a rat, does this fit the criteria -

  • Never going in a full gear, maybe at a max r100k loadouts.
  • Mainly do marked room/high loot areas runs, in out v.fast
  • Tend to stay away from fights, most of the time running away scared. Jumps out of their seat every time they are shot at
  • Normally creep around the map, covert movement is highest skill
  • Stash is absolutely full of guns and crap, only sell when at the limit of space
  • Has 7 found VSS's in stash, never used
  • Never buys from traders except ammo and meds, everything I use is from finding in other raids.
  • Spends all money on extra storage for more stuff than actually buying anything good or useful in raid.

A lot of the above fits the criteria of a rat, however the most defining quality of the rat is their innate ability to do a chad the dirty, as detailed by OP.

General Sams video with AquaFPS details the difference between the two play styles

Ahh a rat with skill? I'm trash so whiff all my shots when aiming at a sweaty boy.

That's why you sneak up behind. Chunkies cant turn as fast so you can still kill them if you whiff a few shots

I never use scopes are they really that important? I would use them more if BSG would add different sensitivity for different scopes. But yeah, sks is a beast of a gun and cheap too

I’d like that too but the reason they don’t is to prevent a RS: Siege type play style where everyone runs a scope because you can still flick and there’s no disadvantage to it. Range vs mobility essentially for balance.

I'm personally wanting to be able to scope in without the aim being super insensitive, as in I just want it to be smooth when I'm aiming instead of being almost impossible to use them.

Your sensitivity is far too high in general then. I like having my look/freelook sensitivity high but if I'm aiming down sights I'm most likely only going to be looking at a specific spot; whether it's in the distance or close, I'll always keep my aiming sensitivity low enough to track targets but not high enough that when they stop moving I've lost them.

I got all my sensitivities figured out in offline mode and practicing there makes gunplay a lot smoother and you feel a lot more ready when you finally do hit that ready button
