Third Parties ARE an issue

I get it - third parties are inherent in the game style. You love to be on the right side of a third party. You hate being on the wrong side of one. But could there be a balance? Consider this: wha...

@PogeNoobOk that may be so what do you do when you get third-partied and you can't get out of it and can't shield swap fast enough, then what? I'm only asking because on to many occasions I myself experience this along with the fabled third-party a third-party of a third-party. It like a dog pile later in the game. What do you do for that kind of encounter?

@Lygerk_p You learn to have better awareness both before, during, and after gunfights. Sometimes killing and running is better than sticking around to loot boxes. Or, learn to drop, pay attention to the other 19 squads drop locations, the path of the drop ship, and how to properly rotate and predict where squads are or will be. If you land hot on another squad, you should also know if there are squads in areas or towns directly next to you, as you can assume they will drop and immediately come to you knowing two squads dropped on each other. (That's what I do every game, I'm that 3rd squad on the drop).

Also, pay attention to the squads left, what ring it is, and the probable distance of the squads that are left. I.E., if you have 10 squads left in the 3rd or 4th circle, you can assume they are in hearing distance if you start shooting or fighting

    @CocoaHyena You don't have to tell me that. The friends I play with, when the servers allow me, call me irl bloodhound because I'm always right when it comes to in-game awareness. However that does nothing when playing with randoms and nobody listens. I often call where the next rings is and am right 9/10.
