@1ronKeys you can see some of the player stats from the overlay. One guy was above 530 level, there were others around 200, some below 100 and I even ran into one complete beginner who was at 7, lol. Overall, it wasn't a very tough lobby, because if it had been infested with diamond players then they would've just killed everyone before I even found them. So yeah, you need a bit of luck on your side to get a lobby where there are fewer people doing a crazy kill race 🙂 ...the lobbies do seem a bit softer now that the new season started, though.
However, the beginning part is also about strategic thinking. You'll want to get around 8 kill start for a decent chance of hitting a 20, so that means that you need to land with 3 or 4 squads in a small area where everyone is squeezed together, so the fight goes fast and there's not a lot of running around. On King's Canyon the Labs used to be perfect for this, but this season it doesn't seem to be such a popular location anymore (I just got lucky in this particular match) and on World's Edge the Mirage Voyage would be such a small and popular area.
Then you also need to play it smart to beat the multiple squads and get that easy start. While they take the portal and have a big fight in the portal room, I normally casually stroll in from the front door, pick up an armor and a gun and then shoot unarmed people running from the portal room and then wipe the remaining weakened enemies that have been doing a lot of damage to each other. On Mirage Voyage I like to take the roof above the hot tub room and shoot people fighting below (I have the high ground advantage and they're focused on the people around them on the low ground). And once you've had a great start, you just need to take the redeploy balloon and find some other fights to 3rd party for more easy kills on low health distracted enemies. That's how you can get through each fight fast enough that you can move on to hunting additional teams. Every second counts 🙂
Yeah, that mirage with his new buff and a gold bag was a real hero and he saved the game, but I also only got so crazy aggressive in the end because he had already snatched a few kills away right from under my nose and I thought that he was about to do the same with the final enemies before I could reach my 20 🙂 ...it all worked out best in the end though (he actually revived me right in front of the enemy, lol).

@Romet6 Haha yeah the revive amused me, the enemy knew where you were but then second guessed himself or got spooked.
Yeah I mean from watching how you played I was quite pleased as certain decisions, including the drop outside of portal are similar to how I play. I think i just get misfortune 😛
I've even missed out on the triple3 badge endless times, more than enough kills maybe just one kill get snatched or a squad is short one player. Etc. Bugs me. Seems within grasp but just situational.

- @1ronKeys Lolz I had the same with the revive. He started shooting and suddenly he left... I was like ‘okay did he just missed his shots and thought he hid but figured it’s a clone and just left or did he get shot and ran away?’
@Romet6 must’ve been yt in this case cause I’ve watched other high POVs and always had a clear sight. This was just like it wasn’t processed or still in the middle of buffering :P
But yea, gimme some teammates like you or even your teammates... far better than what I get on a matchly basis... xD- @Koochi-Q such teammates are very rare, so I got lucky in multiple ways really. 95% of the time my teammates don't want to fight and they think I've lost my mind if I want to drop on multiple squads (they start pinging enemies like crazy and want to go elsewhere, while I am thinking "yes, I saw all the enemies, that's the whole reason why I am dropping there, lol"). On the other hand, my best chances of getting a 20 has been when playing as a duo or with teammates that don't hit their shots and just serve as live decoys to draw attention away from me 🙂 ...it's more tricky if you have to compete against both your enemies and your teammates.
Yeah, that guy must've thought that he had just seen a decoy and probably wasn't even paying attention to the revive sound. I still can't believe that we recovered from that spot 🙂CONGRATS!
I've been playing since Season 1, and I wish I could run into that many people in a Hot Drop still all running around in White.
Most of the time everyone is already running around in purple and gold, I'm not joking, it's been so bad, it's like where are all these people finding such good loot.
Then if that's not bad enough, to many cheaters, like at the 8:30 mins when you ran into Octane, with how my luck has been, he would of been in Gold and using an Aimbot and melted me.
It's nice to see that the game finally looked balanced and without a mass amount of cheaters, the video excited me to get back and play.
I had a bit of a streak a little over a week ago, got Kill Leader/Predator on Octane, then the next day on Wraith, but my highest kills were only 8 on Octane!
