Monkey see monkey do 😃
This is what pub streamers do in hopes for good content = multikill game. Also why there was a building called "streamer building" in fragmentIts the illusion of if I do this 10 000 times I will become as good as those streamers = Streamer meat.
Another thing is the fact that there is always immediate action. People dont want to run around the map and not encounter a team until final rings.
High risk & high reward.
Some people want to play game differently. Loot & gear up in peace, rotate to the final circle and then fight.
More of a ranked playstyle approach. Streamer meat people call these people rats and being afraid.
Nobody can/should dictate anyone elses playstyle. I would recommend playing ranked if the hotdrop playstyle gets annoying. Or if you find similar playstyle buddies, send them a party request, friend them and play together.- CCbathwater2 years agoSeasoned Ace
Welcome to Apex. This is something that they've been allowed to do for about... 4 years now. I had to completely leave BR because of it being unplayable due to this.
Why they do it? Beats me. I often hear "I want action, I don't wanna loot for 10 minutes". Well, then they could go on Mixtape with the rest of us, but they still go on BR, eventhough the game obviously wasn't intended to be played this way, i.e. there's basically a POI for every team, maps would be far smaller if this was intended, you land without weapons, and so on. So I call it's done to ruin the experience of those who actually wanna play the game.
Also never understood why it either has to be random bingo of who lands on the shotgun and purple armour, and who lands on a Longbow and P2020 in Fragment, or looting for 10 minutes. Back when I still tried to play BR, I did neither of the two.
Then you have people who go "it's just pubs, go play ranked then". Ranked is however also plagued by issues. First of all it has ranks, silly points, and thus people who get bend out of shape when you don't care about their points, and refuse to sit in a house with them for 3 rounds because they play Caustic and Wattson.
Then there are ranked seasons where the points are focused more on kills than placement, and then everybody drops Fragment, just like in pubs.
Good luck getting to play the actual game on BR, or just join the rest of us on Mixtape. 😏
Edit - Oh, and you're new, so you're probably far from lvl 50 anyway, so you can't even try ranked. Guess you're just stuck until next season when they lower lvl requirements for ranked to lvl 20 or whatever.

The vast majority of people who play this game are suffering from a pretty dramatic misunderstanding of how the battle royale game mode is supposed to work. When the dev tries to nudge them in the general direction by reminding them that BR is actually objective based... they freak out like a pack of spoiled children who refuse to be told that candy is bad for them, especially if you don't ever eat anything else.
But, as others have said, in the end we all make of the game whatever it is that we want it to be. And I'm no exception. And I can tell you right now there's no end of people explaining to me in very colorful terms why I'm doing it completely wrong, am a terrible player, and probably also a terrible person in real life. All for playing the objective. So it goes. - HappyHourSumwur2 years agoSeasoned Ace@jousej7 Dude! People have been hot dropping in Fragment for years.
I can't explain it (I guess ADHD kids, but who really knows) but I will say that when my random Jumpmaster teammate drops us there and I get insta killed, I will rage quit to the lobby a lot.
I mean how much fun is it to hot drop and die 99 times just for that 1 time you win the POI and live? - 1ronKeys2 years agoSeasoned Ace@HappyHourSumwur Often octane mains too. Even if we fly past it and 10 squads have already landed they'll fly back to it on their own and die immediately.
Definitely some kind of issue with them.
