What is it with landing on the Train Yard?
I hope I got the name of location right, it is the one where you can land on the wagons that float in the air, if you are lucky, then zip-line between them. I don't get why people are so attracted ...

It's because of how the ranked system was changed in season 3 where high placement alone isn't enough to climb meaningful amounts of rating. And players NEED to have some kills or assists to benefit from the placement multiplier.
People drop train hoping for some easy kills on players with no gun and/or armor and then dip out allowing them to just camp out the rest of the game and avoid fights until you secure a top 3 placement. Then go from 0 to 60 in 3 seconds to try and snag a win.
Especially with the vaults in the game. Every team on the map is scared of running into a squad that got kitted with a vault key when they're still rocking lvl 1 and 2 shields and weapon attachments themselves. Gold armors being too common contributes to this phenomenon.
As the match goes on, your odds of running into some insanely stacked squad increases, so scoring easy kills in the off spawn fights and then just hiding in rat spots is the safe play to climb rating somewhat reliably.
I'm not exactly convinced that mucho gold armors and loot vaults are good for the game to be honest.
@Wingmannedbro who you calling a rat 😮

Player hiding in safe hidden locations out of sight just like rats 🙂
Rats are cute tho, I like rats.
@Wingmannedbro players hiding out in trees could be cuddly bush babies, that like me like trees, cool caves and crevices 😛
I hate to say it, but I agree with @Wingmannedbro 's first point... When you get to a certain rank, the top placement alone isn't enough of a benefit. We'll usually drop with one other team at least. I'd rather that then losing points because four teams landed. That's not skill, that's luck, and rank should not be affected by luck. My biggest thing is why do people still drop alone in ranked?? It blows my * mind.

Hahaha. I'm getting PTSD reading that bit about players still dropping solo in ranked.
