Off The Grid

Low and unstable frame rates, stutter during fights, heavy CPU use, long shader loading and an image that stays blurry because the upscaler cannot be switched off: 18% of all reviews and 30% of negative ones raise performance. Players with RTX 3060 to 4070-class cards describe 30 to 100 FPS on low or medium settings: "Game uses an absurd amount of resources, but runs like its on playstation2." Even a positive review says "I get around 100 FPS with DLSS enabled, but it makes everything blurry". Some players with high-end PCs report smooth play, and a few share settings guides (turning Global Illumination down is one tip). Reviews from August and September 2026 mention a recent performance update with mixed results: one player says the game now runs a lot better, while others say it made things worse.

9% of reviews talk about bots or a thin player base. They describe matches full of bots, from the first easy wins to later lobbies, and some read that as a sign the game is dying. Bot teammates get a complaint of their own: "players should never, ever be paired with bots that do nothing so you're forced to 1v3 actual players". Some ranked players say bots appear there too, and some players had to wait several minutes for a match despite the bots. A few players accept bots as filler for a small population.

7% of reviews describe the game failing to launch, freezing on a black screen, crashing mid-match, or throwing the squad back to the lobby right after the drop: "Every time i would load into a game, id drop. open a chest or two. and then get kicked saying squad has been zeroed." Other bugs named include settings that reset on every launch, a loadout animation that locks the player out for the rest of the match, and a final circle that kills the last squad standing. These reports grew over time: 4% of launch-month reviews against 14% of reviews from July to October 2026.

7% of reviews raise monetization. One specific grievance is that hexes extracted in a match cost the in-game currency to open, while free players earn it slowly: "it feels unfair to have to PAY for the crates that you extracted IN GAME." The OTG Pro subscription (reviewers quote about $10 to $12 a month; it multiplies currency earnings) is the other target. Players dislike that the game opens on its Pro screen ("everytime you launch the game they load you into the OTG pro"), call it too expensive for a free game, and report trouble cancelling: "OTG Pro is very hard to cancel and steam doesn't offer refunds for it." A few players dispute the pay-to-win charge, saying they win with ground loot and low-level gear or have bought nothing.

Some reviews ask for more maps, a duo mode, a permanent solo mode and the return of deathmatch or team deathmatch, often from players who otherwise like the game: "there is a great game here just needs a duo mode and i'll change my vote." One review from September 2026 says there were still no new guns or maps, only cosmetics to buy.

5% of reviews report cheaters, with aimbots, wallhacks, teleporting and flying players described from launch onward. Complaints include a weak anti-cheat and no way to act on what you see: "couldnt even report them cuz theres no option to view players post match". A player who says the game runs smoothly and is better than in its alpha still wrote that "cheaters are everywhere and they keep them around an dont ban them".

This complaint is recent and rare so far. In late August 2026, one player asked the developers to bring the old movement back, writing that "the dash to jet is basically not a thing anymore and makes firefights feel very clunky". Another called the new movement worse than the beta's and said the gauge for the new jetpack heat build-up system bugs out.

New players describe easy bot-heavy matches followed by a sudden wall of level 500 to 1000 squads: "The second you hit level 15, you are put in with the sweatiest players you could imagine." One player summed it up as "There doesn't seem to be any reasonable transition between beginner matchmaking and the regular player pool." Players ask for skill-based matchmaking and a gentler middle tier.

Some players wait several minutes per match, then sit through long loading screens and pre-match cinematics: "You spend more time in queue and pregame lobbies then playing a match".

Smaller recurring requests: an FOV slider ("please for the love of god add an FOV slider"), an optional first-person mode, shoulder swap while reloading, and a working way to carry Epic progress to Steam ("Skins and progressoin dont cross over to steam even IF YOU HAVE LINKED ACCOUNTS from epic.").
