Yeah, you don’t want to be in that initial death wave. I’m playing solo so far so it’s just a matter of finding a relatively safe landing spot and then skulking around for a bit after gearing up.
The thing about battle royale is a lot of people want to play at a breakneck pace and that’s a sure way to end up dead. You can’t possibly get the drop on everyone and I will make sure to cap your ass while you loot duffle bags if you try to. I watched Ninja yesterday and as good as he is, he’s always moving and it cost him often. He was not winning regularly.
Staying unseen may not be the sexy way to win, but it’s pretty damn effective.
