Can I just say how awful it is to have a random on the team who only cares about themselves but still follows the group only to snag everything in our path before we can. Just this weekend I had 3 randoms Octaning/grappling there way in and even just block my way into the vault after I opened the dang thing. Leaving me with a dookie lvl 3 mag or barrel like what is wrong with you? If I opened the vault, it should be an unspoken rule that I get first dibs on all gold loot. After this I continued to grab keys but would only head to a far vault and loot all alone before regrouping again. Sometimes I wish friendly fire was on ☹️

@iBlockHead But I should add I’ve dealt with some super obnoxious players.Recently had one who was shooting at the drone. I proceed to shot it down. He then starts barking at me that it’s his key. I just ignore him. We get into a fight, i down 1.5 of the players they finish off the others. They let me bleed out so they can have the loot to themselves. They talk trash the entire time.They finally bring back and I have no guns no armor nothing. They get into a fight and get downed. I just run because I’ve got nothing.. now the trash talking really starts coming. I say well I have no guns or anything, what do you want me to do? I go back grab their banners and camp to the top 3. Keep in mind this ranked and at this point I have no intention on bringing them back. They can either sit there and watch or get an abandon penalty. Mute their mics and their pings 14 minutes later the game is over.

@DarthValtrex Lolz I like a good story like that XD.The way I did loot vaults was basically mark the nearest vault... if no one moved their butt, I dropped the key, picked it up again so they know I have a key and mark again. Still no reaction? Well, get punched in the throat, I’m going. Usually they still don’t follow until they actually heard I opened up the damn thing and am partially legendary.If my team actually follows, I open the vault, stand back and just be the last to pick stuff... unless I have a devotion or havoc... cause 90% of vaults have a turbocharger. I’m such a good team player :D

@Koochi-Q Yes sir, I'd like to hire your services in my future Apex games. Please accept this + XP as payment.

@MandatoryIDtag Hahaha, but I kill so many of the amushers.. when I go to vaults I stack up on nades. Plus I frequently play bang. If we are getting out matched I just smoke them and we make a run for it. It’s amazing how frequently that works. Then we just camp the entrance to the cave and ambush the ambushers when they figure out we’ve houdinied them.

@iBlockHead My services don’t come cheap. But seeing that you want to provide me with an ‘Xtra Payment’ payment, I’d be more inclined to lend out my services.My regular price per session is 1200 euros... with your extra payment I’ll give it a 1400... but since I know you from this site, I’ll give you a friendly forum discount, so lets make it a lean 2K :D XD.@DarthValtrex, exactly, gold armor is wasted on her... or extra efficient. It’s all how you take it.

@iBlockHead I don’t know about all gold loot.

Gold back pack goes to the life line if there is one on the team. They also get the gold helmet, if someone on the squad still needs purple armor. If everyone has purple I let either bang or gibi have the gold helmet.

Lifeline is the last to get gold armor, she already has increased heal speeds.

From there, the barrel and stock depends on what guns other players have. Players running higher recoil guns or higher muzzle flash guns get priority for higher level barrels and stocks. I don’t really need the stock on a G7, just give me a 2x-4x scope and I can make the gun work. But the stock comes in handy on a longbow.

Now that all changes if I’m having to carry the squad. In that case I hoard everything.

@DarthValtrex my point exactly, I end up carrying most of the time so I get dibs on it all.
I mainly use caustic or Pathfinder so I still feel all the gold should be given to the ones with long or very short cool downs in order to best utilize it.
Having a lot of gas ready can be really good to surprise an enemy squad rushing you. Or just having a ton of escape routes through pathfinders zips is also very useful. Personally I lost interest in giving lifeline any gold items as she gives your position away and randoms/friends rarely use their heal drone because they don't focus on other players health outside their own.
All gold loot is my loot unless someone else opens the vault. 😠

@iBlockHead How to loot the vault is
Step 1 - Open vault
Step 2 - Steal gold helmet as Octane
Step 3 - Run before your teammates notice

@iBlockHeadYa I’ll let a caustic have gold. The only thing I really want are the backpack and armor. Especially when I’m having to revive them and carry them. Being able to get them up with some health is huge, so is being able to pop off a battery or cell quickly. I’ve been running wattson a lot lately. So I don’t need the helmet.

I usually just ping the vault key for the rando and carry on playing, if they wanna run off on their own for gold loot (or much more likely a team of camping ambushers) that's their prerogative, weeds the selfish players out by itself. XD

lol, classic rando's.
Always there with you when a vault is opened. Always gone when you're getting shot at.
