When/How to warning shot

[Joolis]

There is a reason why SG prison break is different from all the other shitty prison break servers: We have warning shots.

But there has been a lot of confusion about when to give warning shots and how to do them. So let me clear it up for those who don't know.

 

What's a warning shot?

A warning shot is when you inflict damage upon a prisoner because they are not obeying orders, but they are not rebelling.

Example: If I say don't leave cells and you take a step out, I will give you a warning shot by shooting you on the foot WITH THE LEAST DAMAGE I CAN DO AT THE MOMENT, AND DON'T SHOOT THEM WITH AN AWP.

 

How to warning shot:

When you warn somebody, it is best that you inflict the least amount of damage possible in your situation. And please, shoot them on the foot/legs, not on the head or torso.

Example: If your teammates are being shot at by multiple prisoners, do a quick warning shot anywhere, obviously you are under pressure, so smart prisoners can't blame you for not shooting you on the foot. However if the situation is in the CT's favor, you have no excuse to not shoot people on the foot/left click knife.

 

When to warning shot:

You give warning shots when a prisoner is not following orders, but is not rebelling.

Example: If I say take one step out and freeze outside of your cell, and a prisoner take a huge leap out, that does not need a warning shot, however if they say that they are sorry and they go back to their cell, warn them.

 

Please correct me if I am wrong. If you are still find this unclear, please post below and the community and I will help you.

Warning Shots:

 

Holstered Pistols

Crouching/Uncrouching as sometimes people let go of their crouch key to type or their keyboard sucks.

Any non-rebellious activity (For example: Stay in water and you pop out of water for a second and go back in.) This does not mean, however, that warning shots are required when a terrorist is obviously disobeying orders.

 

Do NOT need warning shots:

 

If a prisoner has a weapon out

Prisoners who are in a restricted area

Prisoners not obeying rules

 

This practically says it all. Altho I dont agree with your part where the prisoner takes a huge leap forward. That's also a warning shot.

Unless they run for example to a hidden teleport, then I'd kill them.

Warning shots are pretty straight forward. You warn them for doing little things such as when you say freeze and they move their mouse. You kill prisoners for doing bigger things such as entering restricted areas or just blatantly rebelling/not listening.

You got most of it right but the random warning shots when CT's are under fire

You shouldn't at that point you should just kill the ones with guns because if there is multiple people firing then why give warning shots and let your team die? Anyone else doing anything other than what was order are also to be killed for obvious reasons

 

Also torso shots with a non-sniper/shotty is also fine

 

Also your example where the guy takes a huge jump out of cell is also legitimate kill although that's a dick move =/ [because of what mapper posted in his quote not obeying (huge jump =/= step out)]

The reason I said to warn on the foot is because what if the prisoner was caught in crossfire and had low HP? A shot to the torso with an AK can do almost 50 dmg, M4 can do 40, Deagle can do 65, which is about/more than half the person's hp.

Correct me if i'm wrong. If someone gives an order like "go to VIP and stay there" and a prisoner runs out, they're directly rebelling by not obeying your orders, and obviously you don't need warning shots for people rebelling. And wall-nut, say every T is supposed to be in soccer. Earlier that round, a T killed a CT with a pistol they found in their cell or something, and to cover their tracks, they drop the pistol. I've seen you kill people who do exactly that or something close to that. Tell me, would that be a freekill or not?

Not since we did away with the rule that you needed to see the rebel, that was a while back though.

I normally try to carry the compact or USP if the map allows it

But if they are caught in crossfire previously then they shouldn't try anything sneaky or at the very least be aware of what you can and can't get away with

The point of playing T is not so that the CT's give you so many strikes before you die but to be clever and lead a rebellion

and CT shouldn't make it easy either it's not much fun when the CT makes it so easy that he might as well just give you the gun to shoot them in the head

As it is most of our maps aren't too hard to rebel at and those that are aren't played too often and you need someone good playing CT(someone like Jacen) otherwise its easy and not much fun

Those both would not be freekills. Warning shots are not needed if they are directly disobeying orders such as running out of VIP or saying go to pool and be in water and they run to the left side. Those are types of direct disobeys. If a T kills a CT earlier you may kill them even if they drop the weapons. Now normally if the CT was baiting you may be nice and let me live but make sure they drop their weapons!

there is no rule saying that you cant warn with an awp

you just have to shoot them in the foot cause it does what, 85 or 86 dmg?

yes its a dick move but it gets their attention :trollface:

and you say to try and always shoot them in the foot/leg because they might have gotten freeshot earlier, but what if they had already taken a warning shot or two, if it kills them then they deserve to die for disobeying orders multiple times

 

another issue thats been in the server lately is people dont understand what rebelling is

ive seen kids get shot for running toward a tele when ordered to take a step out of the cell and freeze, and someone argued that they should have warning shot them, but thats blatantly rebelling

 

just too many whiny bitches in PB that think they know the rules, OR play in different servers and think that somehow all PB servers have the exact set of rules
