Yes that is true. I used to think that the loot locations were somewhat fixed (i.e. skull town high tier loot) but that is not the case at all. I still don't know whether the loot areas are predetermined and static or they are generated per game.

I've landed at The Pit more than once and found bang average loot. Other times purple armour and top tier weapons. These scenarios were not while it was a hot drop.
Just again a win on my record... with playing more passive!!!!
First guy quitted or dropped during hero selection so we started with 2.
We looted safe for some minutes, didn´t engage if not nessesary and only made one kill in dropzone while the other 2 ran off because of the lack of weapons/ammunition.
After that we rotated some loot locations until we were set and then slowly approached the next hotspot and shot people from range.... and once one of us was hit we instantly relocated, healed up and later engaged from a different angle like guerilla warfare until they ran out of heals and then we engaged mid/close range.
In the end we let the last 2 squads fight each other and only shot both of them from range with snipers so make as much damage as possible so we only needed one bullet wenn the last circle was closing and only 2 of them left low hp while we both were full.
Tactical and passive play made us win!!!! as usual.
Haha I love this style, add me if you ever wanna play. I’m not very good but I very much prefer the guerilla style because it gives me the best chance to win. Lol.
I do get the other style though, jumping in high areas probably makes your aim better quicker.
I haven't heard Mozamweak yet, I actually laughed out loud, it's perfect. I also usually have the P2020 and the Mozamweak (hahaha) after first dropping also, the other day I made a few headshots with the P2020 due to no other choice and actually downed someone with it. I haven't tried that with the Mozambique yet since it has 3 bullets -.-
Anyway, back on topic with the thread, I actually enjoy the different playstyles from the different players I get teamed up with. Sometimes we go in hot and sometimes we drop farther away. After a session where you will run like a maniac and gun down all in front of you with a TTV person in your group, I find that it's nice to go at a slower pace at some points and approach things more tactically. I know this is not true for everyone and that's the point, since we're playing with all kinds of different people with different playstyles, the game is different every time and that's what I love the most about it. I've had crushing defeats and amazing victories and yes, also the players who die immediately and leave me in firefights so they can queue immediately for another game in which they will likely do the same thing.
Sometimes you end up meeting people who are fun to play with, I've found this is usually irrespective of levels. Lately, I'm more hesitant when I get someone who has 1k+ kills in my group because you know you won't be stopping very often if at all. I still enjoy playing with them for the most part though. The worst I find is the ones who automatically leave when they make bad decisions or go 1v3 when they run ahead. Everything else and all other playstyles are fine with me. If I had to run and gun the whole time, I would find that exhausting, same as if I had to loot for 15 mins each time. The variation of playstyles is what I've learned to enjoy about the game. If I ever get frustrated, and I do, I tend to just take breaks rather than allow my rage to increase exponentially.
To OP, maybe look for reasons to enjoy the game instead of reasons to dislike others and everything they do. Maybe start out by not calling everyone slow and passive if they just want to gear up appropriately.
Also to @Karsot I also believe the loot tiers are random, for example I've been in the Pit with both low tier and high tier loot.
"Anyway, back on topic with the thread, I actually enjoy the different playstyles from the different players I get teamed up with."
Yes, that as well. I usually let others dictate the pace, after all, there's so little downtime in Apex compared to other similar titles that it really isn't a big deal.
