I just finished a game in ranked in which my one teammate was a defensive character. The character put up zero fences and responded to nothing I suggested. The character did not pick up a level 2 body shield I pinged and ran around outside the building when 2 squads were attacking. After the game I was going to send a message but the character for last squad didn’t appear. Then I went into recently played with in the Xbox board and they did not appear there either.

@PatrickWSwayzeAbaddon is correct. I have seen this occasionally in the lower skill lobbies or low ranks of ranked. It’s almost always a kid, occasionally it’s a player who’s just starting.When it comes to identifying them through your xbox.. Their parents often put heavy restrictions on who can contact them and communicate with them.When it’s new player. They are often overwhelmed. Experienced players can loot extremely fast. So fast that new players can’t keep up. They don’t know how to dibs, they don’t know how to prioritize loot and numerous other things.this leads to a ton of missed loot.

@OldTreeCreeper If someone bypasses a blue shield they are likely running an evo shield but you cannot tell because the game shows you they have two white bars instead of one.

Hello there, @PatrickWSwayze.Some players aren't much older than ten, where they will run around trying to understand what it is they're expected to do on Apex Legends.Often, they either don't have the talent to play, or they're too young to understand. Bots are nonexistent in Apex, so you must have been unfortunately paired up with an incompetent player.Hope this helps.V/RAbaddon_Nine

@OldTreeCreeper bot lobbies = Low skill lobbies. They think the low skill lobbies are full of bots. Bots being a computer that have some basic game movement and play but that’s it. Sort of like the dummies in the firing range.I don’t think they have bots in low skill lobbies. It’s just kids or new players. I’ve seen noobs who an experienced player would write off as a bot, especially when they have no mic. But the player is just overwhelmed with pinged loot and loot in general. So they either ignore pinged loot or don’t know what to listen for. They also often have really bad movement, walk around in the open, not rotate the map in a smart way and so on. I was guilty of this when I started.I also did other bone head things. Revive a downed teammate, hit my bloodhound ult and rush a full squad solo before they could even heal. I had no idea what I was doing.

@DarthValtrex lol I still do bonehead things.I main as Wraith so much that when forced to play my 2nd or 3rd pick, Octane or Path, in a tight melee spot I'll expect them to enter the void when using their ult and be surprised, then dead when they dont! 😃

@PatrickWSwayze it's odd that you mention a level 2 bs as a squaddie didnt pick up 2 separately pinged blue bs today and had an very odd way of playing, much like a hare in the headlights as mentioned above.
@DarthValtrex what do posters here mean when they talk of bot lobbies?

@OldTreeCreeper Oh I've done that and worse.. Go to jump into the void and start throwing down fences in the middle of a field. I play Bang a lot as well, so the void/smoke are some what similar in that they allow for an exit. I'll be running out of the storm and launch a smoke bomb alerting everyone in the area that we just got out of the storm!

If I've been playing bloodhound a lot switch over to wraith.. Go to scan and waste my tactical looking at the wall of a building. Go to scan and launch smoke into the wall.. Go to activate the hunt and start throwing down a portal. woops.

@hayhor Yeah this confuses with my duo partner a lot. We'll be several minutes into a game and i see a white shield on him, so i question him and he says it's evo.
I then ask the question of why he's still running an evo if we haven't seen any enemies by that point. XD

@hayhor It shows the correct one if you go to the inventory.
