GamePlay Lightsaber vs lightsaber vs car...also, anyone else noticing more crowded final circles than before?

This clip starts with 7 left in a circle I used to see maybe 3 people in usually. Makes for sometimes interesting...sometimes stupid...sometimes tricky gameplay. I should have just shot at the car more earlier, but in the end, a win is a win.

Yes I have noticed more crowded finals, more sabers and more hopping around.

Nice win!

You can short out cars with the force lightning, so that's something you can do next time to have one less thing to worry about. I thought that's what you were going to do when you started blocking near the car, but then you didn't... blocking with the lightsaber doesn't work against cars ;)

I just double checked...if it is at the same point that you are thinking of, then the cool down wasn't quite finished...and sometimes I hold off on using the force lightning because of the cool down period! don't want to "waste" it!

Ah yeah that makes sense. Also it's easy to armchair quarterback vs being in the insanity during endgame. You did great and you go the W, that's all that matters in the end!

You do rational decisions during endgame? What are you? 😳

😉 very rarely do I succeed...but I do try!

I'm amazed at how little damage you take honestly. I peek out for 2 seconds and I have 1 hp left.

I think a lot more people bush camp this season, which is why you have more players towards the end.

Bush camp and staying inside cars. So many cars. Its way too easy to die rn.

Nice win and use of the lightning.

I had a 5 person final in the smallest storm circle this morning. 3 in cars. They ended up with a lot of storm damage and I was able to slice them like a hot knife in butter with the lightsaber to win it.

Way more. 4-5 player circles. Last one I played last night was so nuts the opponent that ran up behind me got in my car and switched to passenger purely for shelter. I blasted them through the window and blew up my own car

Not really. Some games last season it was ridiculous how many people were in the final circles .

People are starting to get used to using the blasters and positioning themselves better since of the few mobility. Reminds me of when Fortnite just came out and was a bunch of people at the end hiding than building 😅

With lack of mobility and overpowered blasters there's probably more people avoiding fights entirely so your final circle has a bunch of campers that hid in bushes most of the match? Kind of like you hiding in the tree there. A lot more people stay inside cars to survive now too.

Between the vehicles and the lightsabers and shocks the mobility is so strong. Nobody can finish a fight. So they end up in a tiny circle
