if you run away solo and die, i wont come for you
if you run away with your buddy in voicechat and you both die without waiting for me, i aint coming either
if you see a red dot 300 meters away and charge into it blindly only to die, i'll leave you to your death
if you are jumpmaster and drop us so we die in first 10 seconds, i am disconnecting instantly
if we are fighting at first minute and you are on the other side of the base looting while we get downed, i am disconnecting

Dude I had like 10 games in a row tonight with fuckers dropping us ten seconds into the game. I wasn't jump master once. Everytime my two team mates died first and I came to the rescue to either die or Kill an entire squad. And then soon after get gunned down by 2 other squads. It's as exciting as it is infuriating. I finally just gave up and quit for the night. Want to jump right away? Be ready to fight assholes.

Had a game where a teammate just afk'd until the ring killed him. Me and the other random ended up third.

Won a game where I was the last person left on my team and the last team died to the circle. Still was intense

Landed on a dropship, got a legendary armor... the only weapon I found was a Mozambique. Got downed and executed. That pretty much sums up my weekend experience with Apex Legends.

both of my teammates died on 3rd minute, i lasted until top3 squads without firing a single shot, then when i was running around i got YOU ARE CHAMPION message. was laughing so hard, if not for firefight at very first minute i would've won without firing a single bullet.
both enemy squads died to circle

I've kind of fallen in love with the Alternator tbh. I feel more confident with it at close range than a shotgun.

R-99 and Auto Prowler are great too, but keep that auto pistol shit away from me, I'm actually trying to kill people.
its actually not that bad as a side weapon, it has laser accuracy and since its a pistol you switch to it mid firefight in the blink of an eye.
you dont run with it permanently, obviously, but as a side weapon its great

Man some of you are stressing out like you are taking out a mortgage or something. If your teammate isn't reviving you or being an asshole or whatever just back out and get a new game.

RE-45 is honestly good for hectic early close-range fights before people have armor. And good to drop immediately after that.

Anyone dropped in right at the start and found a fully-kitted-with-golds weapon? Happened to me today. Got the cheevo and ay'thing. Didn't know that was possible. I'll be on the lookout for those from now on.

I launch straight down at the start of every match. I like getting right into the game.
this is fine if you do it literally 0.01 sec after its possible.
even 1 second delay means squad wipe

those are normal weapons, just with pre-configured attachments. they have no benefits other than being fully upgraded and you cant swap parts in them

Yeah, but this had every attachment slot filled with gold, right off the bat. I think it was an R-301. It was bad-ass.

DAMN!

Made it to #2 Solo.

I went on my usual suicide run when I get stuck solo and somehow didn't die immediately. So I spent most of the battle avoiding conflict, taking a few shots here and there to cause confusion and somehow made it to the last three squads. I waited until they were engaged and just rushed in. One squad went down and I actually thought I might pull it off when I took one dude down with a shotty and broke another shields. Oh well.

Actually when I drop .01 seconds after I usually collide with another squad and get slowed way down. Waiting even a second gets me down way faster!

Servers are crap this weekend. Constant errors. Also tried shutting a door 3 times and it wouldn't shut. Nothing was blocking it.

its still funny to me that you cant open the door the other way instead of trying to bash into it

Something I discovered today: if you right click while in the dropship, you can zoom in to pinpoint exact locations to mark.


Also: second time in a few days that I've crashed seconds after picking up a banner, and I was the last one up on my team.

Just got my first win, totally carried by the two randoms I paired up with.

10 or so games in and it's not clicking for me the way pubg and blackout did. Can't put my finger on it. Going to keep at it though.

I've managed to secure 5 wins today. Had one where my squad killed about half the players in the game--28 total kills. Been a good day for me so far.

You can also just open your map and click anywhere to pinpoint a location. This has the effect of also allowing you to see the path of the dropship.

The third partying has gotten a little extreme. Like 3 hours straight of games where i'd win a fight or two just to get ambushed within seconds before i can heal or get ammo or pick up team mates or whatever disadvantage that makes it unwinnable. And it's not like the teams i'm in are always going to hot zones, even out of the way mid tier loot locations, if I kill anything a clown car of newcomers will somersault onto the scene and punish it.

You're almost better off dropping into hot zones. You may lose early, but once the area is cleared out you're likely going to have a ton of time to fan out and loot some additional surrounding areas. I've had a lot of luck dropping to armory and doing just that. Yea, it sucks if you get unlucky and die right away, but it's better than wandering around and getting clown fiesta'd.

Where was the other guy hiding that whole time?
Wtf, where was that other guy at? Never had a game like that before lol.
I have no idea

I checked the roffs, may have missed some blind spot there, a friend suggested he was hiding on the tree
So maybe this guy was just hiding in a tree

Dang, I've been crashing a lot since the update. Never did before that.

Hope they fix it soon.

Ugh, made it to 2nd again solo.
My squad quit out after one died and the other got knocked down in our first fight, which I won taking out the enemy squad. Worst is there was a respawn point right there...
Squad that won was a full three, and they surrounded me.

The funniest thing ever just happened to me. Got paired with a level 1 and a level 20-something tonight (I'm level 12). While we're in the dropship was looking around and accidentally pinged an area behind some mountains that are out of bounds. Next thing I know the level one dude (who was the jumpmaster) started the jump and headed towards my ping. I quickly realized what was happening and broke off from them and landed on top of the mountain. It took me almost 20 seconds of running and jumping to get back in bounds. The two eventually died up there and after kept pinging their banner for me to come and retrieve it. I literally couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂
