How do you motivate your teammates?
how do you get your teammates to actually fight and not run away?

Why would I motivate my teammates to fight? That's not the goal of the game. I generally try to get them NOT to fight for no good reason (and there generally is no reason to fight before top5).
If everyone is fighting, the best tactic is to let them kill each other. I prefer teammates that actually understand that.
@Biochemikas Thats fine and all but there will inevitably be situations where you have to go on the offensive before you make it to the last 5 squads, in which case having one or two squadmates who appear to be more interested in hoarding loot for example will get you all killed. 😛
If they can loot without finding a fight, so can you. If you choose to not run away from enemies and fight knowing that teammates are not able to join that fight, it's really your own problem.
As for players who literally never fight, even when a fight finds them and is inescapable - I really don't ever meet such players.
- @Biochemikas This sentiment is the reason I dislike having teammates like you. Nothing against you but if you’re that opposed to fighting that you actually want to encourage it, I see no reason why someone like that plays a shooter.
I motivate my teammates by letting them see my awesome badges!I want to have fights that are beneficial to us, not random fights. 99% of the people I get in random queue just fight for the sake of fighting, up to the point of absurdity like running OUT of the circle to hunt enemies. E.g., I've lost 2 teammates in a gold ranked game just yesterday when they pushed a team outside the circle, then died to the circle (I think it was 3rd or 4th circle since they died extremely fast) and exclaimed "**** circle". Well, the enemies died - great, was definitely worth leaving me alone in a top3 situation.
So yeah, I generally need to STOP people from fighting and I really never have to encourage it (even if I was feeling "rambo mode" I would generally still need to stop people from taking stupid fights (I don't bother though, rambo mode is just for fun)).
As for badges, I'm usually showing 2k damage badge, 4 20 sec kills badge and 28 elite top5 badge. And then the first thing I say in random ranked game is: "I don't fight until top3" (intentional exaggeration; I tried top10 and top5, but really top3 works best).
My hope is that translates to: "I can kill people well enough, but I don't appreciate fighting".
P.S. I really don't mind playing alone. If people want to die stupidly, I won't cry over it. I'll get the banners if I can and revive them somewhere they won't be able to find a fight so easily.
@BiochemikasOkay this I get. I didn’t read properly. Uneccessary fights I don’t get into as well. So the one you mentioned, fighting near storm, yea that’s just stoopid (yup double O), even better is cursing the storm afterwards.
But if I see a team looting a building and we’re well equipped, you better believe I’m targetting them. If my teammates don’t go, I’ll follow them, but they should know that if they fight an uphill battle or a battle with an uncertain outcome, I’m leaving them.2 days ago we were on those rock formation near slumps. Other team approaching... one teammate (with $£¥%#@ white armor) charges towards 3 guys... dies instantly of course, other starts shooting from that rock formation... gets melted as well. I unmuted mic and said: ‘really? We had the upper hand and you people just did that? Are you that stupid? Wow’. Left match so that the other team won.
Because most people play for fun, and fighting is fun. I just go on My own if i get into a team that is just gonna loot and avoid conflicts for 20 min.

If you are playing just for fighting, you might wanna consider playing a regular game with standard death-match, where you respawn (like Titanfall 2). Because while fighting is fun, in BR a lot of people want to actually win, and they will try to do it any way they can.
Also it's annoying af to have a teammate break off to go fight alone, just to get destroyed by a full squad couple minutes later.
But again, if you are playing with randos, it's the majority who will decide how squad will play. So like there is no bases to complain that not everyone plays like you.
I have too carry 95% of the squads anyway, so its always 1v3 for me anyway..
