What a horrible thread to have a post.

My buddies like to drop pit but I'm thinking it's a trap lately. There are three boxes in there and usually a gun or two on the ground but that's it. Super easy to not find a weapon. Same with the airport thing, it's way too open and easy to get screwed on boxes. Definitely starting to prefer areas with cover and loot on the ground so I don't have to run to box after box looking for a loving gun.

My experiences exactly. Pit is good if no one else is dropping there and you're on voice comms so you can immediately relocate to another zone and continue looting. The Airport is just a loving deathtrap, in my experience do not drop there because it's waaaay too random. I've picked up a Peacekeeper and then got sniped from the opposite platform by a guy with a Longbow, was pinned down and could do almost nothing while my other 2 teammated died.

Pit is fun if you want to punch people after landing while they frantically look for guns but not for gearing up. It is nice for swooping into bunker to clean up whoever dropped there but dropping just west of bunker is better for that anyway.

Yeah usually no one else is dropping pit and you have options on where to move next which is good, but your unlikely to get your squad decently kitted out in there alone and you've got a good chance to run into someone in runoff or slum lakes. It feels like drops there just take too long to get into decent fighting shape to me.

Also the worst feeling is when you do a hot drop and your team kinda bails on you. Feels extremely bad to knock someone, do 80 damage to another and then drop and your team is way the gently caress away while the other guy is getting revived.

Airbase fuckin sucks hard. Much of the loot has little to no cover, and a few of the rooms with loot are dead ends so anyone chasing you will catch up to you easily. By far my least favorite area to drop. Pit doesn't have a high enough volume of loot spawns, if more than 1 group drops there some people are guaranteed to have a horrible time with little to no cover to juke people with. Even if no other squad drops there I still don't like dropping there. I'd rather rotate through pit after dropping elsewhere first.

The entire point of a few loot zones (pit, watch towers, thunderdome) is to be able to loot fast then roll on some one looting else where

I actually agree, the fights there are great AND it's totally possible to bail the gently caress out and get some decent equipment in the little mini-towns around it, so there's lots of depth.

Problem with Pit in my experience is that the areas around it are absolute trash. Runoff is supposedly High Tier but I never get anything good there and I also get murdered.

It's kind of a jerk thing to do to your team and nearly always suicide but you can just jump solo and get fresh in a Violence Zone if you just want to practise your shooting

If you're not the jumpmaster you'll also be surprised how often the nominated person will just follow the first suggestion too so always ping a high friction zone and see if that helps them get bloody early

probably the two best spots if you wanna get good loot and only have to fight a squad (maybe two) and then move into busier sports are relay or water treatment (dependent on the course the dropship takes ofc).

Dr Disrespect can be fun. Most streamers play up their personality a bit, but not many are straight up playing a character.

Also, did you know that Fatal1ty streams Apex? Was a pretty fun surprise to find out that the biggest name in classic esports was still around, he definitely hasn't lost his touch.

My issue with pit is that there isn't enough loot in it to gear a full squad well enough to take on a group that's been looting at slum lake or runoff for the same amount of time. It's a lower tier zone than runoff and it's got much less loot than slum lakes.

I think it's more likely the point of pit is that it will eventually be rotated to a high tier zone when they want to shake things up, along with places like Cascades. For now it feels like dropping there just puts you at a disadvantage compared to dropping at the areas around it.

My son, who is almost 5, has been asking me about Apex (he asks me about the video games I play after he goes to bed). So I've described it as a sports game with colorful characters (left out the part about the bloodsport and guns) where the players have to loot the most treasure and escape the island. And then I describe "the guys", which is his term for any colorful game characters (one of his favorite things to do is just sit at the Killer Instinct screen and pick the characters and narrate 'cool' stories for them, this is "looking at the guys"). So he knows about Wraith, Gibby, Pathfinder, etc. Anyway last night at bedtime he stands up in bed and announces that he knows all the rules to Apex Legends, and proceeds to tell me them:

1) You CANNOT tell your opponent to "get rekt" *
2) NO INSTINCT (this is yelled at the ceiling) and he wouldn't elaborate on this
3) You don't need a ticket to play (!?!?!? technically true)
4) You can't play without the password. NO TRESPASSING (again yelled at the ceiling) When I asked him what the password was, he whispered "Wraith knows"
5) When you lose, the robot gives you diarrhea **

* A kid at preschool told him this 2 months ago and he was really upset. Obviously still steamed about it.
** I told him about the ping system and used the Clickhole example to get him to laugh since little kids love poop stuff. Clearly gave it a remix.

I disapprove of what you say, and I will defend your death because you have no right to say it!

Had an interesting game with pubbies just now.
Skulltown was hot zone, we drop Thunderdome, we all get blue shields and I get a Spitfire, we push Skulltown and... a 10 minute constant battle ensues. When it is over, we are the last team standing in Skulltown and 2 teams remain. We then find a solitary Bangalore hiding in Market.

I think there should be a touch less ammo overall, a lot less shotgun ammo, and more hopups for some of the guns that don't have them just to make it so that you can't reliably find your favorite fully loaded weapons by midgame. Make it a bit more ad hoc

Relay is prob my fave place to drop. Usually decent to high loot and not too populated unless it's a hot zone or right on the flight path.
