Be CONSIDERATE when LOOTING

When you land of course it's a race to find loot, but if you and a teanmate goes into a building and there's one weapon that he picks up, DONT STEAL HIS AMMO! If a enemy shows up he can't do * because he has a gun with no bullets and you sure as hell can't do * because you have bullets but no gun. Let me tell you the story of this exact thing happening to me not too long ago.

We land in Skulltown, plenty of squads running around looking for easy kills, business as usual. One teammate broke off to look for loot elsewhere and the other player, a Octane, stayed with me. We went into a room and I left everything for him to take and went to the next room hoping for something useful and what does RNG bless me with? A friggin PEACEKEEPER! I picked it up ready to make a mess and what does my teammate do? Runs past me while stealing my reserve ammo even though there were no shotguns in the previous room... I kept moving hoping to find some ahead and ran into a unfortunate Wraith who found out just how broken the weapon is, 100 damage instant down 0 reaction time whatsoever, I felt bad and left him to be revived but got the kill shortly after, maybe his team died idk. Anyway as this was happening my third teammate gets focused by another squad and he and Octane gets downed within seconds, I ran in and got two of them down and I'm shaking in my boots now with 1 bullet remaining and a third guy out for my head, tried to thirst a downed player for even a P2020 but got killed just as I started looting. If I had a few more rounds I know I could've clutched it but that Octane was too brain dead to drop it for me even after he saw my weapon.

So PLEASE, if you want to have a chance of winning learn to prioritize your team sometimes, it doesn't make you any less of a 'bada** edgelord' if you look out for your team every once in a while

i used to take all ammo with me when landed, even if i got the weapon i need, so when the enemy take the weapon in the ground, they wont have any reserve ammo, or when ur teammate came with weapon in hand u can give the ammo you don't need.
aside from my thought. its about fast loot, sometimes in a clutch or hurried moment, people tend to mash the interact button, the bad side was taking the ammo without the weapon, and leaving teammate dies with no reserve ammo. it just cant be help.

It can be helped. People in general are just "me me me".

Denying enemies loot I can understand, accidentally picking up ammo you don't need from your teammates also I can understand, I've done it many times but the difference is I always drop the ammo and ping it so whoever has a gun can take it. The peacekeeper I was holding was extremely hard to miss in that tiny space we were in so the only reason someone would miss it and steal ammo without returning it is if they're absolute morons which this person most definitely was. Unfortunately it's rare to find a teammate my level or higher and usually my teammates are lv1-20 even though I'm 80 so things like this happens a god awful lot to me which sucks

The ammo thing, I can live with that, but what's worse is when you land in an area and an * team mates takes both guns when there's only 2. Who does that?

Octane is clearly designed to make this problem worse. The amount of times I've been looting something and octane will run along and take everything.

If you see someone looting an area, go loot elsewhere. Really not that hard, is it?

Common sense is painfully uncommon among randoms unfortunately

While I completely agree, people will continue to play how they play. That's just how it goes. -__-

The only way to avoid this is by playing with your own squad, unfortunately. Or just landing away from your team but not too far.

That is unlucky but isn't that the risk when you go skull town? I hate landing there since I die alone if i break off from my team or get no loot if we land close together. I've also rushed and stolen all the good loot before my team gets there but there isn't much I can do about it with fights happening all around me with random teammates. Can't stop to drop the stuff i don't need when an ally is getting gunned down.

As Octane or Pathfinder I land at the supply bins on the outskirts of Skulltown and loot there before heading in because I can use my mobility to regroup quickly if needed but this person was on me like glue so I couldn't land out there if I wanted to without risking us both.

Since this incident I've been solo dropping everytime and looking for a kill or two before dying and leaving if my teammates are painfully low or toddlers or Indian, no offense to Indians but they've been some of the worst teammates I've had so far. Hopefully a better matchmaking system will be implemented to stop punishing players like this

I totally get the ammo looting thing. It's really annoying when your teammate loots from right under you.
What really drives me crazy is when I'm downed and my teammate loots a deathbox rather than pulling me back up.
