Tracking how often my playgroup dies to "meta" things.

Hi, this was originally going to be a long ass post but it'll summarize.

I have a discord with 7 consistent players, all of whom have obtained Kappa in one wipe or another, all between levels 27 and 50 right now. Only 2 using a Bitcoin farm, and only 2 I would consider consistently running "high" gear. One has an obsession with Panama hats and one loves to be a rootin tootin cowboy.

We each took note of what bullets killed us in our most recent 75 deaths, tried to exclude blatant cheaters.

Here's the notable breakdown:

M61 - 76% (that is 399 deaths, out of a group total of 525, almost 400 are to m61)

M62 - 2% (Added for contrast and rounded up from the high 1% range)

M995 - 5% (Mainly one guy who plays a lot of labs, data is skewed by that, he had close to 18% m995 deaths, the rest of us balanced it out to a low 5%)

Igolnik, BS, 7.62x39 BP - 3% (rounded down)

(Yes, that is 3% for the 2 best rounds in an entire caliber, along with BP, ak sees next to no use it seems, maybe the recent buffs will help)

FMJ-SX - 3%

7n31, AP 6.3 - 3%

Other than the guy who loves dying to m995, the across the board stats for m61 being the killing round are pretty similar. The vast majority of the player base seems to be running nothing but m1a, hunter, sa-58, and MDR. This meta is fucking ridiculous. Every single raid is just people hiding and waiting for someone with m61 to kill them and take their m61, or holding weird angles for 35 minutes trying to steal the m61 out of some other dudes gun.

It makes so many things purely unviable. If your gun can't one tap to the head or shred legs instantly, you're functionally useless with the overabundance of 2 tap kills currently. Check my comment history and you'll see me defending strong bullets, I always have and will, but it is absolutely fucked this wipe. Worse than 0.11 pre-pre-wipe event, and worse than the original 0.12 end of wipe. I don't think Bitcoin farms are to blame as m61 wasn't unattainable for the average player then as well, so I'm honestly not sure what the cause is.

Anyways there's the data, fuck m1a nerds and 308 MDR chad-rats, I respect the hunter players a little bit at least.
