I understand what you’re saying and yes I see the timer. But sometimes map terrain slows you down. Once you’re in it, it’s next to impossible to get out of unless you can hit a jump tower, have a path finder or wraith.
Then there is the getting into a battle.. and get stuck in it. It’s stupid that you can’t out run it or gain ground on it.
Large areas of the map go unlooted because of how fast the map closes.
The key is to not be in the storm when the ring is closing. The game gives you fair warning and time to move. Spend less time looting and more time engaging others. Did you know most of the time the enemy will have similar gear that is at the unlooted locations?
a battle royale has like 3 objectives... looting, fighting and not to stay outside the ring. thats how battle royale works. you cant just make one easier just because its sometimes a challange when you take the risk to stay outside longer.
I honestly am laughing at the idea people are complaining at what seems to be the first storm.
Out running the storm is actually very easy and I think I have died twice in my whole time playing due to the storm. Normally because I have had to fight in the storm against a team camping at the edge. If you know the map layout you can easily fly from across a large percentage of the map using jump towers.
Running - Takes around 4.05 minutes to run from one end of the map to the other (Caustic Used)
Run + Towers - Takes around 3.10 to run from one end of the map to the other (Caustic Used)
So the idea you can not out run the storm is honestly a joke and you failed to learn the map. PS these times could easily be improved.
The issue here is a lack of time management by the player. I see way to many people still looting while the storm starts.
