Switching up tactics

So yesterday I played differently than I usually do. Instead of hotdropping and engaging any nearby enemies, I went to ‘soft’ places and only fought when it needed to be done... got several wins bec...

@Koochi-Q I'm not good enough to run all over the map and take every fight with multiple squads. And I hate dropping with multiple and relying on RNG at the start to get a gun. So I typically drop soft as you say. Many times that means 1 other team but we typically do fine then. After that we look at the circle and as we rotate we engage when it makes sense and get out when clearly disadvantaged. It is in between what you say. I like to win more than anything on the game.

Do not get me wrong, I have enjoyable pushing games but my teammate better be good in those cases.

@hayhor That’s part of the fun of BRs for me. I don’t know what I’ll get. BRs are just a metaphor for real life (damn thats deep koochi! Yes! I go deeper than Mount Everest if it was inverted into the sea! XD). You never know the cards you’ll be dealt with in any second of the day. Even if you (think you) land totally secluded there might still be a surprise. But spicing it up by having multiple variables and equationing them to your advantage is what life and BRs or games in general are about... the more variables, the more risk, the tougher the challenge but the payout/payoff feels that much better :P

I’m no master-aimer. I know which fights I’ll win and which I wont. In that situation I add more variables by way of either retreating or pushing forward. If I win it’s that much better cause you can think ‘well this person was better in aiming, yet I was better in outsmarting’ ^.^

But you’re definitely right. It also depends on your team for situations to go well, but I first rely on myself, next on my skillz & lastly on myself again xD. No trust is placed upon teammates until I cant defend myself any more.

@Daze623 exactly! Not everyone camps tho. Some just steer clear of action... but then the game starts to feel like a running simulator 😜

@rloaz34 yes indeed. You have to be aware of your surroundings. It makes no sense if you saw a team running 100m in front of you but you engage a team that’s 30m in front of you also running cause 80% chance that the 100m team will turn back for easy pickings. Unless you already have a strategy for them or you know you can handle the first team within 10 secs of engaging (which you almost never know since you dont know their skill lvl, armor, loadout and such).

@MandatoryIDtag I was at the no-care state from the beginning of S2 xD.

  @Koochi-Q I much prefer to loot up a bit before going at it. Too many hot drops to loot bins with med kits and sights are imo very boring and invariably short games. I enjoy the tactics side of it outwitting if poss and see it as kinda like a game of chess. There is a satisfying rush to be had there too. You sound a bit more interested in the kdr side of things than wins.
  I take great pride in my number of top 3's and am just approaching 500k damage on.my wraith.

    @OldTreeCreeper But the thing about hot drops is they aren’t always hot. If the trajectory goes somewhere, the first place is technically the hot zone, yet not always is this the case. Water treatment, repulsor, The Crane, Artillery, Slum Lakes, The Gauntlet and that other place sometimes only have 1 other team but I still consider it a hot drop. They’re all places that accommodate loot for at least 2 teams so you just have to think fast...
    
    KDR doesn’t really interest me. I just like the killing and not so much a stat no one’s seeing. But Wins mean even less so thats true xD

  @Koochi-Q yeah I know. I had some teams where we would try to loot but run away whenever someone starts shooting at us and honestly it's still more fun than just bunkering down and waiting for a miracle to happen.
