The name of this game should be changed to "Third Party Legends".

There is no way any BR game has had this much third party fighting.  Its insane.  The map either needs to be larger or the gun sound distance needs to be reduced.  My team and I fought a team, then another came, then another, and then a another.   It happens so much.   I don't think its never supposed to happen, but its pretty much 80% of the time you finish killing a team to have another swoop in and clean up with a couple bullets.  Its stupid.

    @ILikeGlueHmm That is horrible strategy and i feel bad for your third because you could not obtain the armor you wanted. Loot to me is fun its a gamble yes who gets best of what. But if its a blue armor you think that will save your day instead of your skill level killing the ones with blue armor i suggest having more faith in your game play. Don't allow a armor difference to make your break your game that is just baffling. I have taken down gold armor people with white armor np. It is not hard kill them take their armor quite easy logic. =D

    There is a lot that you can do to have an influence/control over third-partying that some players havent incorporated in their game.

    When you spot an enemy team and plan to fight them you have A LOT of information given to you that can help you estimate the probability of your team (or the enemy team) getting third partied.

    You have:

    • your teams previous movements to your current position on the map (in relation to)
    • the enemy teams position on the map, (in relation to),
    • how the current circle is positioned, (in relation to)
    • how the next next circle is positioned, (in relation to)
    • how far you are into the current round, (in relation to)
    • how many teams there are left in the match, (in relation to)
    • Have you heard any fighting in your vicinity (if not, then the chance is high that enemy teams are nearby, ESPECIALLY early game)

    And even if you consider all these variables and decides to take the fight, you ofc still can be third partied, but even then, you can choose, as a team, to disengage the fight in the direction that makes it a 3v3v3.Or just disengage entirely and let them fight it out. I mean, the game even tells if its a player from a third team that attacks you.

    I never play like this in casual, but in ranked, especially in Diamond +, I think it adds another dimension of strategy in the game that I even think is necessary to reach Master unless your aim is above average Diamond.

    @chiefthunderball Well, it kind of does, since it shows that people were able to enjoy the game despite the low loot distribution and third partying.

    @ILikeGlueHmm When you actually stick around in a game, how do you get the majority of better loot? Do you just find it around, or do you take it off of an enemy's deathbox?
    I usually get it off someone's deathbox, either because my squad killed them or because I arrived at a battlefield.

    @ILikeGlueHmm You can’t take the fact that most Battle Royales are Rng based. You are leaving a match because you can’t get into fights and get better loot. That’s how I see it

    @ILikeGlueHmm The simple solution is to remove luck and start everyone with Evo shields. That way it's more skilled based rather than some lucky guy landing on purple and a Mastiff

    It’s Kings Canyon.  It’s too small and trash, but they won’t let it go

    @E9ine_AC Running in a killing wounded people isn't a challenge. Sure its a legal tactic, and sure its a BR its going to happen. Comparing it to COD is kind wrong since the way they both work is totally different. COD isn't a BR and it on a very tiny map. Apex is a large scale map and despite that fact its more often that not that people rush in to snag a weak group. You claim you like the challenge, but there is more honor and challenge in fighting a fully healed team than one barely alive. Its also only more aggressive cause the map is half the size of all the other BRs out there. Fortnite is the EXACT same game if you take away the building aspect and it never felt like you were non stop getting thrid partied like this one does. Maybe you prefer to have underhanded tactics in your fighting and sad as that is its fine I suppose. All they have to do is create another map that isnt small as hell. I can play that one and you can do vulture like things on the small one.

    @chiefthunderball I can see that logic with fortnite. I always hated how you started with jack crap and you just had to be lucky to find stuff before the enemy. I would like to have seen you start with the basic pistol just to have something. This game adds a way to control it though. Every area has a different probability of its loot tier and they are labeled on the map. If you want to get good stuff land in a high tier loot spot, but be prepared to get bloody. However, after that you will still g et third partied cause the next loot area is only 10 feet away cause the map is sooooo small.
