Almost every game, I die because of people running up immediately after I finish a fight and clap my whole team's cheeks into next Tuesday. I was wondering if there's some map positioning or strategies to help with this. Any advise is appreciated!

Yeah, i usually wait till i see the other team gather around lifelime, heal and pop shields, make sure theyre full health! As Bangalore i pop a smoke to signal battle commence! Everyone ready?!
@GRiPSViGiL wrote:I don't get to squad up often but the rule is if you can't finish a team in 30 seconds retreat and regroup. It's smart to 3rd party and that pretty much is the MO for any team BR game I suppose. It is getting old though. That is why I prefer good ole 64 player Conquest over anything.
Pretty much this.
Kill quicker or get out.
Being 3rd partied is part of any BR game.
You can't afford long engagements in any BR game.
For me the best way to survive is not to engage a fight for too long: if you see that you can wipe out a enemy squad within a short time fine orelse just forget about it and fall back.
The part i like the most is when a sniper keep shooting to somebody kilometers away for 10 minutes and then get killed from some sneaky one who pops up right behind him!
Remember that 3rd party is a way of life in this game so, play smart!
@ArcaneMagicianYou’d think that and you might be right, but it’s all kinds of ppl third party. Especially smarter ones who can do it successfully. If you’re not competent on brain or hand department you’ll likely get killed while third party’ing. Why you ask? Well:
1) either you went too late and the team you were trying to third party already healed up
2) you rush over even tho you’re 200+ meter away and the party you were trying to third party is already being third party’d and you know what they say, three’s a crowd, four’s a... hmmm heard so many stuff pertaining to four so I’ll leave that blank :P
3) you rush over too fast so you’re actually 3rd partying but get killed by one or both squads who think ‘you wanna third party us?! Well we’ll double team you!!!’
4) you end up catching them healing but since you didn’t pay attention you get third partied
@iBlockHead that’s one way to do it but alot of randoms still suck and end up shooting the same guy for over 30 seconds while missing all his shots... what I do is slide ever so soft and creepily... then when I’m 50m from that whole team, I start screeching like a banshee... they’ll get scared and confused cause they wanna know what that is. Then suddenly teammates of them start dying without them even know whats happnening (yes happnening). Then to turn up the creepy factor, I suddenly get the aura of the devil while saying the equally creepy: ‘I bathe in thze blød’ and start killing/destroying everything indiscriminately. Soldiers, robots, flyers, leviathans, hell I’ve even been known to destroy servers and forcing them to give players Code Leaf and Code Net. Why you think they call it that... you have to leave the internet! xD cool story huh :P
Its super bad in ranked. Thats all people know how to do because they are scared to lose their rank. Respawn needs to remove the 5 kill point cap because it just encourages people to try and wait til the end then just get one or two kills. If it was removed then people could play really aggressive and get 8 or 9 kills and still rank up really fast. Even if they don't win matches.
Map and ring rotation will prevent most 3d-partying. I rarely get 3d partied, but I don't rush from bad angles and I simply rotate so that I´m not ending up in the middle of the map / ring. I do see a lot of people rushing into fights when they haven't scouted behind them - simply for them to die by another team rotating in from the edge. Also if you are unsure of team positions/rotations - simply let a few shots out and see if there are teams lurking.
When I do get 3d partied its often my own fault, the fights took too long to end.
@JDOGMcFUZZL agreed, it would make ranked more enjoyable.
Well, there's sooo much satisfaction when sniping down the champion / kill leader as he's healing out in the open after wiping a few squads. I can imagine them jump in their seats in anger, smashing the desks with their keyboards, crying "ow my 20 bomb" or ranting about noobies, aimbots and cucarachas 🙂. I can't wait to see the frustration coming from getting third partied in solo mode, but I'm getting more buckets of popcorn to watch the saga.
To those that feel offended, it's just a game, relax! Also, it's survival, not a tournament. Dying is a life saver, it's an opportunity to grab some snacks, hydrate, take a toilet break, feed the crying baby or put out the fire started by the dinner which you forgot in the oven.
Oh, advices. Try changing location as often as possible, even before healing up after a fight. Use the deathboxes to snatch some armor instead of repairing your own as you run away. Other teams pushing in may slow down to loot the deathboxes so you can gain a little bit of time to heal properly and reload. Also, a good idea sometimes is to throw some grenades, smoke and shoot a few rounds, it can confuse incoming teams, they may stop to observe, giving you more time.

LMAO.. We have a hero here. It's a good tactic. Bad players get third partied 😉
To the OP: @Sway_Junk1 Evaluate the situation and see if there are other teams heading over to third party. Wait for them to engage, wait to see if anybody else shows up, then jump in. It cannot always be prevented, but I see to many teams jump straight into combat when there is another team in view.
Either kill quick, wait and evalute the situation, or engage and be prepare to get out othere sharpish if another team rolls up. This confuse them, they end up fighting the original team, you can heal up and jump back in.
Season 4 and 5 feel like a 3rd party to the 3rd party to the 3rd party to the 3rd party. Everyone just watches and waits to engage. It just depends on if you are the 8th party.
