If you drop and go for the bins which as you said can be as random as 3 bags... that is your f-up in my opinion and instead of going for bins you had to choose a place that has items dropped on the floor = more likely to be not bags :D
Worst case, coordinated drop so that it is a fair boxing match or even better you land on top of 1-2 enemies and have a man advantage.
p.s. not using microphone (I guess that's what you mean by "headphones") is a big disadvantage as well. I use it every game even when I am not trying.
So opening a random chest & discovering 3 bags (or backpacks I guess you mean) is my fu%k-up & not genuine a fu%k-up in the game that's great logic on your part.As you say it's your opinion which to me isn't worth much but if you don't see any issues or problems in the game such as match-making,audio,teammate shortages.disconnects, screen freezing,game stuttering,lag spikes,lag spikes,persistent server issues (or is there no dodgy servers in the game & we're just playing with dodgy internet as others claim).But as long as your enjoying the game that's alright then (which is what this thread is all about) just don't expect some of us to share the same levels of enthusiasm.
@Redmattgame indeed I don't see a problem in the case where I open a pill and there are 3 bags = 3 people on a team who all might need a bag would be really happy about such bin.
Recently to be honest I had at least 1 case that I can remember where I opened a regular (red) pill and found 1 stack of sniper ammo in it, at first I though it is a glitch and it was looted just for me showed as closed, but maybe not. This type of pill might be somewhat of a concern but I really have had such case with 1 item in a pill only once, as far as I can remember that is 🙂

- @Eshshshss There are some quite funny footage/montages on youtube dedicated to various players reactions to the ridiculousness of what they received upon opening various chests in the game.But the biggest joke of it is that many of us have experienced the same thing either 3 sniper stock,3 back packs,3 thermite grenades etc in the same chest it just makes the game a bit of a mockery.I've experienced scenarios in the game (where similar occurances can be seen in these footahes) where upon opening various chests nothing appears until 2,3 or 4 seconds later so whether that's game lag or some game algorithm dictating/re-arranging what loot you should be getting ( or as some cynics may say is rigging the game against you).
On a separate note though if anyone (many of us!) thought Apex servers can be temperamental & quite bad at times try playing Fifa 22 against other players online what an absolute disgrace the servers are.High ping issues,random slow-down & sped-up gameplay(like out of an episode of The Flash).game freezing, disconnects.But ultimately it's another EA game so I guess it's to be expected. Maybe we have reached the ultimate capacity of "the cloud" 🙂 finally, the internet can't keep up with the demand.
Get ready to store your pictures on memory cards / CDs instead of Instagram or cloud storage :P
@Eshshshss The problem is with the infrastructure, it's stupid to yell at the servers because of lag / high ping. It is well known that the internet is not optimized for realtime applications and that the network hardware technology is 10-20 years behind the demand.
Cloud storage is an issue as much as the traffic it creates. Streaming and remote work / meetings are the biggest congestion makers right now.
- @DoYaSeeMe if you say so, I have not much knowledge in this fields, just logically thinking that there should be a limit. As you said a lot of "extra" traffic has appeared during COVID years and it is no surprise to me if it is affecting games like Apex as well.
And honestly I don't have an issue with servers, more annoying are the players who intentionally use software to disrupt the connection and make them laggy for others no to mention ones who manage to crash the whole loby if killed 🙂 - @Eshshshss It's not just me saying it:

Thanks for sharing though, I am sure for people who want to dig into this piece of info it will be very useful and educational!
