Hey all!
We have started a Discord server solely to play PUGs (pick up games) in Dirty Bomb. If you would like to play in a more organized environment, this is the place for you.
You don’t have to be a pro or even a high level player. You should have at least a portion of the mercs unlocked, so you’ll be able to play most of the roles. Also a microphone is HIGHLY appreciated, since PUGs are all about working with your team. A team with multiple people who are not able to talk is not a great experience for anyone involved.
If you don’t know what Pick Up Games are, you can join the server and read the text channel called #pug-information. It tells you more details, but I’ll give the short version; we play 5v5 Stopwatch games on custom servers with friendly fire enabled. You will gain progress for leveling up and case drops like you would normally in a public or ranked match. PUGs involve more rules than ranked and we use voice channels for communicating with each other. One of the rules is the “1 merc rule”, so there can’t be duplicated mercs in one team at once. We usually have a merc ban or two, but that changes from day to day and from patch to patch.
First thing you should do when you join the Discord server is to read through #pug-information. You can ask for help in the other text channels from other players or admins.
It doesn’t matter if you’re from EU, NA or Asia, we try our best to host PUGs for each region, at least in near future. We used to host “Amateur PUGs” a while ago in another Discord server, but stopped doing that at some point due to lack of new players. I’m hoping to get more new people in so we can bring that back for the new guys and girls who are interested in PUGing but don’t want to or can’t compete with the old nerds who have been around for ages. We will have someone guiding those PUGs as well, there are always veterans willing to help the newcomers.
Hope to see you in Discord soon, thanks for reading and enjoy your day!
