Playing with Friends Bonus

Good point :D probably a bug Respawn forgot to remove from back in the days when they still kinda tried to persuade people to team up vs soloq all the time.

Actually in all other games you get deduction if you have a stack and Valve (kudos to them) just announced "weighted kill" mechanics = kills will be evaluated on their impact and less impactful kills will yield less "stats boost / elo boost" to players, thing that I have been talking for years that is needed in Apex to punish "fragment droppers" who sabotage whole game but via getting 1-3 kills before dying get more RP if you save them eventually by crafting etc.

It is just Apex, don't look for much sense :) more often than not it is just some random stuff put together + whatever streamers / pros request threatening to abandon the game.
