Beaten to loot EVERY time

@HappyHourSumwurHeya, dropping in apex is nothing like pubg or cod or any other game for that matter. Using specific numbers to drop at will not give any benefits to be honest. Some of these guide videos could not be more wrong. As an example someone drops out at the numbers you mention. Then I drop out seconds later and still beat you to the drop. Once you get the drop angles down and when to do it then you will be landing before others for a chance at the gun.

Also some do not know you do not have to spam your loot key. You can simply hold down your loot key and just look at the items and it will pick them up. Another tip is when landing at all costs try to go into a slide animation. This will stop the gravity hit and the slow down from landing and allow you to loot quicker than some others.
