@dirtymonkey6627 I actually won one of my last crypto matches on E district that way.
I was paired with an Ash and another, the other quit before the game began, and ash was champion. Ash ate 3 squads then died, and left before they became a banner. I was almost within drone range. We started together but they just ran and ran and I was trying to hunt all the beacons and evo bins around and get some loot so I could possibly hold my own. I had utter trash when they got downed and left. So I wound up solo at 15 squads left.
Next to final ring, 5 squads left, I narowly got past the bloodbath that was going on to get into the ring, drone hiding atop a building to avoid destruction, and I off the grid just in the next ring by the bloodbath. Ring closes, the next ring would be the final ring before final closing, but I won because the blood bath, about 25 meters outside the ring, got eaten by the ring, and apparently everyone was there. The final squad pretty much just sat inside the burning ring, and I was cloaked just outside it in safety, so they crispied and I got a free win. Wasn't even the final ring yet, and they had an easy escape to safety, but they decided to sit there and crispy. Maybe they had a seer who was heartbeat sensoring me and couldn't read the direction indicator? Perhaps a bloodhound was following the trail in the wrong direction? I don't know. They basically just sat there.
In the end, I watched wraith and one other attempt to make it to the safety, but they both died and then deathboxed near immediately, and I was 15 meters from them not getting crispied, and it gave me the win.
Half my wins are by the ring honestly.
1) 2 weeks after catalyst launch, I took a position on a rooftop with a full premade of clanmates, as Rampart. 5 squads left. Ring's closing to the next will be final, and we got an instant win. Apparently everyone else got trapped on the other side, in the C nook by the building that looks similar to map station but has a blue beam. Relay station? I forget what it's called. Broken Moon, northeast area.
2) kings canyon, crashed ship. NewCastle. Full random team. We landed, and the ring kept centering on us, next to final ring we just held the other 4 squads off our ship. Final ring it was just one other and us, we had the ship and they were on the ground with one way up, which my grenades kept at bay. Final closing instantly killed that way up, I retreated, and they got crispied beneath us.
3) That match as crypto.
I forget other crispifying matches.
Other notable wins: Revival, E-District, Crypto just got off the grid within a couple days ago, so I was trying it out. I was also trying out akimbo. 5 squads left, pathfinder gets downed and leaves before we can pick him up. 3 squads left rampart gets downed, 2 squads left rampart leaves thinking I'm doomed. I just happened to get myself perfectly dead center of the final closing. There's literally only one enemy left, a pathfinder.
He's jumping on the building and on the hut and all over the place trying to find me.
When the ring neared completion, I dove down, EMPd from the other side of the hut, and nailed him, waited a couple seconds as he frantically looked everywhere, then the ring was within double melee distance, so I exitted and opened fire with my akimbo p20s, and got the win.
I knew the perfect strat for off the grid then.
NOPE.
A few matches later I tried to do a similar thing, and got grenaded to smitherines. The fact they had a fuse didn't help. At least I had my whole squad left in that final 2. We lost unfortunately. That and they sniped my drone through the structure multiple times, and I can't figure out how they managed to thread those shots from that position. Drone should have been perfectly safe. But anyways. Worth a shot.
