What am I doing wrong?

First off, I have never played a BR game before.  I have played Titanfall 2 for a long time.  EVERY game, I land and I'm shot before I can even find a gun....what is the secret I'm missing to instantly be armed?

  • What your missing is playing this game and other FPS's for 16 hours a day for the first 20 years of your life.
    Have fun playing against all the kids who spend all their free time playing video games.

    "Dude, I only play a couple hours a week" lol ok

  • There is no secret: trick is to land and immediately hoover up stuff.

    Get proficient at inventory management on the go (tip: open inventory once you've picked up stuff - things that can't use yet have a No Entry icon on them...you can drop them).

    Pick your battles. Don't get into a ruck if you're not geared up.

    Sounds are really helpful: listen to other player movement to figure out where they are, and where you shouldn't be.

    Do you know how many people I run in too in game that do this.

    It's funny to watch.

  • 1. Land in an unnamed location... Most teams will call out named locations to land on. So dont do it.

    2. Land in a really * place with only 2-3 buildings off to the side of the map.

    3.  Look around as you land to see where the enemies nearby are landing. And keep an eye on them. Land somewhere else.

    4. Learn the map... Learn the areas you drop onto and best way to defend yourself or escape.

    Don't listen to any one of the previous repliers! They just want to find you and kill you when you think your safe!

    Just kidding. They all shared some good intel. Except the land at an unnamed place/crappy place from @Coyotekins_YouTB! That will actually get you killed faster XD. You know ppl who drop there? People like me who know that either ppl go there to not fight (noobs/loners/campers) or who just wanna explore. What do ppl like I do there? We come in packs cause we know we can gang up on those suckers. I'm joking here too. I don't drop at those spots but I do run towards those spots right after I got a gun.

    My advice which nobody has said yet surprisingly is just run and spam the pickup button. Get fast at looking around and tapping that button.

    Spawns usually happen in same places so instead of 'getting to know the map', get to know spawn locations. By that I mean a 3 story building you can loot has 4 walls and 3 stories (for simplisticity's sake), at which wall usually spawns the loot.

    I've had matches where I didn't find weapons after I ran through like 5 buildings, so sometimes you just get unlucky...

    Especially if you find the mozambique and suddenly there's an entire team in front of you with spitfires...

    That's weird, because that's almost exactly what I said? :D

    This is what you said. You're talking bout the masterful art of inventory management. Screw that! I'm talking bout mashing the pickup button like a madman until you find a gun in your hands XD. That's that noob level 'inventory management'. Cause usually you have like 4 ammo types, shield recovery and other random stuff before you have the dreaded mozambique or less dreaded p2020
