Re: How often do you encounter these types of randoms?

@decimation92 It could just maybe also have to do with the fact that there is literally an in-game hint on the loading screen telling you that it is bad sportsmanship to take the items your team mates have "Dibsed."

You are free to go ahead and take their stuff, but you don't get to claim that the game didn't intend the dibs mechanism.  It should be obvious why you are able to take things even if someone else dibsed it.  Your team mates could troll you and dibs every item that is pinged.

Are there cases where team mates abuse the dibs system to a point where you will ignore their dibs?  Yes.  But if you don't respect the system as a rule, then don't expect any boxes to hit the ground when you say "I need light ammo."

    @pandareno1999Yea, it is quite literally a "dib" system. Not sure what @decimation92 is on about, in that regard. It quite literally pops up in the kill feed when you call dibs, and uses the word "dibs". Couldn't be more clear if they tried, Lmao

    @EREGDS  This is why I wish we could select one or two "favorite" weapons, which we would then ping as "looking for" in-game. It's not an issue when I'm in a party with my buddies, as I can just tell them what I am looking for, verbally. Plus, they know the two guns I typically run, and vice versa. With randoms though, there's not telling how many times they don't ping the gun I am looking for, because they simply have no idea I am looking for it. I have my comfort loadout, and definitely play much better and consistently when I run it. Same goes for my buddies, so we always are looking out for loot that we know one of us is typically looking for. You're absolutely right, gotta love it when two people have decent guns, and joe schmo has to try to clutch it with a P2020 XD
