What's the better strategy:

Wait until you get to the edge of the map to launch so your team can loot in peace or jump ASAP and hope for the best?

Try to find a location near the more heavily dropped locations with decent loot. Then engage within 5-8 minutes of landing to get actual experience with gunplay and work your way up the loot ladder via death boxes.

Yeah, this is insane. Either the HUD is broken, or this the 4th time today I don't get downed but instakilled, as my teammates are alive when I go down and yet the match is shown as over, as if we all died in the same tenth of a second. What the fuck.

Yeah. Performance isnt great on xbox..

Getting sound glitches, weird lag spikes during fights which are making it seem like I'm getting instantly killed with gold armour and helmets. Lag during some matches that result in slow motion type effects for the first 2 mins and some doors, zip wires not working while spamming X.

Game is steadily declining on twitch.

They really need to add solo and duo modes. Unless I have a full squad there's 0 reason to play this game

If you launch correctly, you should be able to get to any part of the map that you want. Its quicker than waiting for the ship to get to a part of the map IMO.

When you launch, look straight down and reach a speed of 145 MPH, then level out and glide straight until about 125 MPH, then dive back down to 145 MPH and level out and glide until 125 MPH. Repeat this until you reach your destination. Its much faster then just gliding down at a 45 degree angle.

Use this strategy to reach somewhere that is far off the drop ship path if you are looking to have some peace at drop.

How is it possible that a level 100 player can be so stupid as to drop in a totally different location on the map? I will give you a pass if youra new player but level 100? Nah. You need to play something else.

Stupid random players is there real reason this game needs solos. Trusting random players in a competitive online shooter where you only get one chance is proving to be a fail.

What's with everyone dropping in cascades lately? It's so terrible for looting with a team because everything is so spread out. Loot there is usually shit too.

And what is the fastest way to land if the landing spot is not straight down at start?
My squad have been thinking about this but it all seems to be random because at the start models blocking each other and hoping you are the first to get free.

Sweet thanks for the tip.

On a hot streak today, 2 wins so far. Love playing an entire game only communicating in pings, and then everyone gets on voice chat when we win haha.

Had some terrible early game crashes when season 1 started but they seem to be ironed out with the latest PC patch.

I really don't understand the point of the hot zone, the loot is never any more worthwhile than other places. Just seems like a trap.
From my understanding the hot zone only guarantees a fully kitted weapon somewhere in the zone. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I might be wrong but in my experience it usually just means that instead of say, a bunch of alternators and mozambiques etc you're more likely to see stuff like hemlocks, heavy ammo and so on

P.S. I got this, bruddas! Hahahah!

Spitfire is fine.

What's wrong with having a gun that is good with attachments? You can't keep nerfing everything. At some point you just have to accept certain weapons are better than others

Yeah I don't think I'm dying to spitfires more than r99s, peacekeepers and r301s rn on PC. That's a weird gun to single out.

Frickin' Wraith mains I swear to jeez. Just had a typical Skull Town drop and after a skirmish I was last alive and in an adjacent building. I go in killing two teams that were down to two members and the dingus doesn't wait for a revival and instead just ups and DC's. I bring up my trusty Bloodhound compadre after the chaos that ensued and we went on our way and lost at 4th place or whatever.

Things were getting messy with the death boxes.

Never really messed with the Flatline until now. I like it; I have a better time handling it than other Heavy Ammo weapons.

Buddy brought his PC over tonight and we played all night, I didn't have any crashes but he had 5 of them. Seems like this patch did introduce crashes again

Level 5 Battle Pass reward is a badge telling me I've made it to level 5? So generous.

I've also noticed upon hitting level 50 I no longer get loot boxes from levelling up. So the only way to get the skins I want from here on is to buy them? Lovely stuff.
