Loot distribution is absolutely horrific

P2020's and Charge Rifles on drop or no guns in entire buildings.  Finding a decent optic is like winning the lottery.  Plus, we have white backpacks and laser sights galore clogging up the loot pool.  It has gotten absolutely ridiculous.

  • I am lucky if I find in the first 5 bins either p2020 or moz...

    Constantly getting this. Land.. searching 4 bins - no weapons. Enemy at other side - every weapon they can find.

    I tried to play yesterday morning for a short period... 4 matches in total. First three I died within 30 seconds due to no weapon found. One of those matches I opened 6 bins...6 bins! Found not a single weapon. 

    4th match my two team mates upon landing and a minute in are both spamming "I need a weapon" - they both left the game without being knocked. I just laughed and closed the app. My quick attempt to play Apex and have some casual fun in a nutshell Lol.

    The first two weeks of this season seemed like the good old days. I got my perfect load out in four matches out of five and I wasn't still trying to cobble it together with only two squads left. Then everything changed like a switch was flipped and it all went right back to the desert it has been now for multiple seasons.

    The "can't get a gun on drop" thing I have not a lot of sympathy for. If you don't want luck to be the decider then don't put yourself in luck's way.

    But I've always said: the loot pool should be thin enough that it punishes hot droppers and it should be rich enough that a careful, methodical player can get a reasonable load out by the mid-game mark. As thin as it is now, I get to the halfway point in the game, I look at my load out, and sometimes I just plain quit. It's too easy to just walk away from a bad situation. Respawn, please stop thinking that if you tailor the game to the streamers and pros that the rest of us will just fall in line.

    I am assuming this above statement is referring to hot droppers?

    Cause my situation is not that. I do not drop hot, unless my randos do, despite my many pings "no". I personally drop somewhere quiet with maybe one other team or two at most or the outer edges in hopes to get a half decent load out. I don't expect top tier loot. But I do expect when opening 6 bins to find at least one weapon.
