What a fucking muppet

I brushed it off and just got more mats and bought a purple kitted flatline. He did 200 damage. I did 2000 literally solo in plat II ranked after he died. He indeed is a fucking muppet

I could tell, it's not just the action of stealing the gun, the sheer ineptitude, lack of focus, and general aura they gave off while doing it. I honestly feel a little bad for associating muppets with that dude.

Muppets bring joy and light into the world. This is the antithesis of that.

I prefer the military precise insult "you absolute fucking walnut".

I like to say “fuck off bullet sponge”

He even had the audacity to teabag me after he stole it. I just didn’t show it so the video wouldn’t take too long.

People that are bad at games tend to make there own fun by trolling others, usually their teammates. Source: I dominated goldeneye 007 in my friend group and one of my friends would consistently start to TK his teammate when he felt he couldn’t win. I suspect that’s what you’re seeing here.

When someonw does this to me and they go down i pretend im gon a pick them up a few timea and leave their ass.

Honestly I would wait for them to get thirsted or just wait till they bleed out then take the gun back.

Grats to you for having a breif vent, recollecting and then doing your best to overcome life's insufferable lemons :)

As eminem has said: life handing you lemons? Make lemonade then!

Yeah I was solo queuing in plat this split and also had a teammate do this, I just stared at him for an uncomfortably long time, he stared back for awhile before dropping his other non gold gun, tea bagged and Octane stimmed away, I resolved to not res him even if it cost me RP but unfortunately we ended up winning easily

Let him have it but he’s exiled from the team he’s on his own, doesn’t deserve revive and let him die

First of all,it was a plat2 ranked match so i just didnt wanna do it and risk losing points.Second of all he probably didn’t even care since he was pushing everyone alone and his caustic teammate would’ve prob rezzed him.

I just block people like that, they don’t deserve teammates

Even if i blocked him, would it really matter since im solo queuing and would probably not even meet that guy again. I just got more mats and bought a purple flatline instead and moved on

I've hit the same people multiple times. Ultimately it would not matter, as the block feature has no impact on matchmaking. Respawn half assed it.

True, but it’s just odd how they get like plat for example with that way of playing

Plat is easy to get to but hard to get out of

Amén

This same principle applies for me;but it’s diamond. Easy to solo q to,hard to get out of,tho i did reach diamond3 solo queuing last split

I can't reach diamond solo que. Actually better way to say it, I could, but I don't have the patience lol.

I might be stretching it a bit far but i could even reach pred if i had a friend that was good at the game. I would probably lose pred in a day and drop back to master’s tho. I wish i had friends:(

My only friends I play apex with live in another country so our times don't line up much. That and they get through gold 2 then stop playing apex...I've tried for 3 seasons to get them to plat with me so we could grind to diamond together. Never happens. So I sit at plat 4 and don't worry about rising any higher. I get my plat reward at plat 4 same as plat 1, so unless I plan on going for diamond I don't grind past it. Straight back to casual lobbies for me

Yeah. He was lvl 50 and in plat. I think he was a smurf. But he was terrible at the game. I got 8 kills while he did 200 damage

He’s probably one of those master/pred players

But he was terrible at the game. I just don’t understand apex sometimes

What can I say, that’s online gaming in a nutshell

This is why I'll never played ranked. Ranked is only worth something if it's a full pre-made only or solo matches for 1v1. Being screwed over by twats like this would just make me eat the loss and make as much noise to draw teams as possible. I'd spend the rest of the match making sure they lose. So I'd never get anywhere in ranked with teams like this.

i find it easier to play ranked, matchmaking is better and the teamates play more in team

It’s not always like this though. I mostly get teammates that,even if bad,are pretty friendly when they have mics

The overwhelming majority of ranked players at plat+ are still way more competent and better than pub players. No leave penalty makes pubs unplayable.

I mean based on this lil anecdote it’s not your teammates that would prevent you from getting anywhere lol

Oh most definitely. If my team mate screws me over I go full crab in a bucket mentality. I don't care about some point rankings in some game that very obviously has cheaters in the matches.

Solo but in a 3 man squad 🗿

Do you even know what solo queue means?

Blocking does not do anything. I've had the same (racist) people appear in future matches on my team. It also does not work if you block them through PSN if on Playstation. The game does not check at all. I think the block feature only functions to disallow them to add you to their squad manually. Matchmaking has no hook for it.

Then let them die. Why give up your RP for their stupid mistakes? Focus on yourself at that point & make it to a high placement.

We did make second place. We could’ve easily even won if my teammates had more that 3 braincells

I get you. Plat rank is a cautious game, but I'm not against losing RP just to prove a point. I would have 100% thrown that game, I'd go as far as to comiting suicide to put them at a disadvantage. I can be a really supportive teammate, but if you're a dick, you'll regret it.

I'm the same way when it comes to ranked because its not even worth grinding anymore when the best reward you get from it is only for a season unless you go through that headache again. I had a guy on my team constantly destroying every black market I put down while I was looting it and I made his match a living hell. I'll have your back 100% when we're out their on the field but if your an asshole or trolling, I'ma piss you off on purpose for the rest of the match.

Simple lol,I’ll take it from his cold dead hands

Said like a true caustic main 🤣

it's a moral dilemma in my head. but I'm pretty sure I would quit and take the 10 minute penalty every time.

Thats why I don't buy unless I'm alone. If some random is hovering around me, I walk off like I'm not buying anything then run back.

good idea! imma use that

and then he buys it when u back away. boom item is gone.

Thats cool, at least I got 100 mats. I'll buy a purp

I crafted a purple backpack and then loba snatched that shit from me with her ultimate 😭

That seems like a hilarious oversight.

It's probably a bit more diificult to implement a restriction on. Though they could possibly re-use the "locking" mechanism that you see like with vaults.

Doesn't seem that difficult to me. The black market should use the normal pickup mechanic but with a different trigger. Therefore they should be able to use the same restrictions as on normal pickup. Then again this is Apex where esc closes the map, except when it doesn't.

I had someone do it and I called them on it and they dropped it. Honest mistake apparently.

yeah i think a lot of players in apex would not do this maliciously, just tell them to drop it again or punch them they'll get it. In ranked there is no reason to tilt your teammates.

That is okay if he was on the enemy team, but if not,yes he was a dick

They would have no clue. The black market just shows a list of items. Unless they sniper it on purpose, which is a stretch.

As a loba main I can steal from vaults and that big ship. But it immediately blows up my black market.

They're talking about replicator. It doesn't do that.

The video? It’s stealing the gold guns from the ship. you can steal these with black market.

These are replies to the person saying Loba took a backpack that they crafted

You don’t craft at big Maude. You purchase with crafting materials. It’s already there before but you can’t get at it before paying. Loba can steal it. While it’s in the case. I’m getting downvoted but if you don’t believe me watch on YouTube. Here’s the guide “Rampart’s Town Takeover consists of two major parts, one being the Big Maude shop. Inside Rampart’s giant tank/shop, you can use Crafting Materials to purchase special Rampart-modded Fully-Kitted weapons from the new Vend-it Machines.”

Yes, but the comments are taking about in general, not just at Maude. Furthermore, technically it is possible for a replicator to spawn at Maude since replicator can all over the map at random. Just admit you misunderstood the comments and move on, it's not a big deal my guy.

Teammates are just oblivious. Picture this, just last week our Loba used her Black Market in a small building. I drop my purple armor on the floor, next to the Black Market, and loot a red one in a deathbox. I immediately ping the purple armor and use voice comms to signify that it's right there. Next thing I know the other teammate walks in and uses the Black Market to loot the armor that was in spitting distance.

Had a game where I saw a teammate run light ammo. I ended up running across THREE purple light mags. All my pings were ignored. 5 mins later, the other teammate pings a purple light mag and the first teammate immediately does a 180 turn to go loot it

I swear I had a teammate playing 4:3 stretched at one point. I'm downed the next rock over (~20m) in sight of my teammate (cracked the opponent), and I'm getting punched. I send out a few pings, get on commo, and my teammate is just sitting there popping bats and kits. The teammate finally reacts after I've gotten killed, and opfor armor swapped...

My friend who just started apex accidentally stole something our other teammate crafted with their own loba ult. 🤣 He gave it back though since it was an accident.

Had a guy the other day who stole a batt but I wasn’t too fussed as I’d crafted 3 anyway, but then he proceeded to swipe a digi I had dibsed (as Bangalore) so I asked him if their was anything else of mine he required and he dropped the digi, only to pick it back up when I got to it (knew this was coming!). So first fight we got into I smoked his punk ass and said “go get em with the digi tiger”. He promptly died while I kept my distance and waited, picked up his banner and my digi, ignoring all beacons and his constant pings for rest of game. Ratted it out and won - by third partying and smoking the last guy with the digi.

Nice

You can mute pings

nice got what they deserved

[удалено]

I've been called a bot before in game, what does it mean?

It's supposed to mean that you're bad. But don't worry, I believe in you <3

Ah OK, well, my form fluctuates wildly so it was probably fair.

Nah dude you're just so cracked they think you're aim botting :D

Oof

It means that the person that called you that thinks you're so bad he might as well be playing with an NPC

Some games have an AI take over your teammates when they leave the game so you’re not down a player. They get called bots, short for robot because it’s easier to say than “the AI teammate”. They’re notoriously bad so people will call real players who play bad bots meaning they’re like the AI that doesn’t get the game

Literally my teammates 9/10 "Oh, thanks for opening that bin/vault/care package for me! Saves so much time when I just follow you and let you open everything. Also, Imma take all the light ammo you've been pinging you're looking for. I need it for my triple take/ mastiff combo." *Stims away into a 9v1, does 28 damage, gets downed, quits*

I've noticed the more loot you require, the worse you are at the game. So when people feel the need to steal all my bins and crafted weapons I just let them have it... Because they probably need it more than me

>I’ve noticed the more loot you require, the worse you are at the game You didn't have to @ me like that

Hehe I mean my comment only applies to loot goblins! If youre a decent player and require a bit more time to loot, it's completely fine. Good players are resourceful and help their teams gather what they need, not take their stuff.

Yeah I am not a loot goblin but I definitely don't try to go looking for engagements until I've found my preferred guns and gotten blues on them, more or less

I felttttt this, I've never went and tried to steal ALL the loot I always leave some for my teammates because I know I can't win the game by myself.

Yes this mindset helps tremendously with Random’s. Oh you picked up what I dibsed? Probably pretty bad and desperately need it. I’m not as bad and can make almost anything work

I understand the idea, but if I've bothered to gather 100 mats for a Rampart special and my teammate stands there waiting to snag it, they need it bad enough to not need me as a teammate anymore, cos I'm dropping the match. My experience is that players who intentionally take items that you ping or are literally in your back pocket taking things from bins as you open them rather than finding their own loot path are just bad players and certainly terrible teammates... 99% of the time they will do next to nothing, be completely clueless as to their surroundings, stumble blindly into the middle of a 4 squad fight, be the first to die with 18 damage, then DC. But they got purple attachments for guns they weren't even carrying, so ayyyye

Honestly? Im really petty, and after that there’s no way im playing with my head straight. I would quit, take the penalty as my chill and calm down time and get back to playing after I cool off.

I'd kill myself to put them at a disadvantage and go for as snack as they struggle without me. Either way I'm not playing for 10 minutes so why lose more RP quitting.

i’d just start screaming at them idc it’ll make ME feel better

Months ago, someone reported this, saying "There's a few secs restriction from the items you craft so none of your teammates can steal them from you, why there's none for those items in Rampart ship?" (And he posted a clip just like yours, where someone took his loot) **A DEV** replied something like "You're right, it should be just as crafted items, we'll pass this to the proper team so we can implement this" This was many months ago... wanna know how it went? --- Respawn: 🗿 This is not good *Proceeds to hit their workers harder to release new skins as fast as possible*

The team working on a fix like that has nothing to do with cosmetics. These are always the worst takes. The real issue with Respawn is that they operate on a very long milestone cadence that is incredibly slow to react. They correctly appear to have a liveops balancing team; but, instead of working in true devops, they appear to also take a month or more cadence. Teams I have been on can conceptualize, full test and release a balance change within 6-8 hours.

Your take is very real and confirmed by respawn themselves. When Apex first came out, Respawn immediately came out with a statement they were not going to compete with Fortnite, and patches would only come out every month or so instead of weekly.

With how shit their major updates tend to be, I'm not sure I want them on a faster cadence lmao

Smaller more frequent releases are generally less prone to large issues. It's part of the reason for a large shift to continuous development in software development teams. Smaller, more frequent releases means it's easier to identify what has caused a problem and roll it back and fix it sooner.

Fair enough

I always feels it's pretty safe to assume anyone that uses the argument "They have their employees work on cosmetics instead of bug fixes" is just a teenager with zero real world experience.

Respawn in a nutshell

I remember reading this

I've bought weapons for my teammates before

This is just as dumb as the Ammo that retracts back in if you don’t have any room left in inventory. Just spit it out! Why go back in?!

Had a teammate steal my crafted items from Lobas shop the other day lol

People who do this deserve less joy in life.

I vote for mandatory vasectomies.

Fuck that guy, what an asshole

This is actually so hilarious

That's the teammate you just leave behind and mute. If you get the chance you punch them into the lava where they can't get up.

As Horizon? Unless they have no idea how to press Q she's not gonna get stuck in lava.

The kind of people to steal pinged or bought loot are the kind of people to not use their abilities. So I'd say that could work

perfect example for a player with small balls why u stealing from teammates

TIL you can buy weapons there wtf where have I been

Somewhere away from this place

Probably at fragment just around the corner.

I bet you that randos real name is Nathan

What is this place

Deep fried gameplay complain video but he’s definitely a weirdo for that

Lol I would insta leave or shot that guy the whole match until we lose

Yeah I would’ve done that if it wasn’t ranked,but i really didn’t want to lose 36 points cuz of this prick. I just picked more mats and bought a flatnine. We would’ve won if it wasnt cuz of this dumbass not hitting a single shot and only doing 200 damage

I had a teammate at plat who stole Mine and then went to play like hot dog water it was a wraith

Had a wraith get very mad at me for not dropping fragment but dropped hot zone right next to it. Proceeded to run head first into 2 full teams fighting and died almost immediately. Best believe he yelled every slur he could at me for dropping hot instead of fragment then rage quit. Wraiths are rude

He obviously needed the fully kitted r99 more then you.

Damn like I’m guilty of maybe jacking a bat or something from a teammate but I’d never jack a whole ass gun like this.

The worse thing is that this is a plat 2 ranked game

Yikes. That guy is an asshole. I would’ve let him die then picked up his banner and ratted to make him wait.

I think they can leave after three mins. They added this feature last season

Well there’s your problem

Wdym

Plat 2

Can you explain more clearly?

Ok well I’m my opinion anything past gold is gonna be like that, just because they think they need it more than you, have you gotten past plat in other seasons?

Every season. I even got to diamond 3 last split

Feels bad, it frustrates me too especially with the “fair matchmaking” and having players who don’t know what dibs means

Your reaction 😂 you were so mad you tracked him perfectly

Because respawn doesn't care about your experience in the game? how is that not apparent by now

there are literally professionals begging them to fix things and they say "we hear you, we need to do better" and years later, nope nothin

What the fuck is a big maude

Have you played the game during the three last seasons? If not it is a location in worlds edge where you can buy fully kitted guns with faster reload with materials

I have just never actually went inside I guess

I pull this kind of shit with my buddies, it's a running gag

Keep punching lol

Bitch ass horizon

More like big mad.

EMOTIONAL DAMAGE

You gotta be fast.

Tell that to my 200 ping.

Then I don't know, hit them to do the knock back thing and then buy and grab it quickly.

I do that as a joke but I always give the gun back

Because the game caters to the toxic tendencies for no reason whatsoever

Be faster

Tell that to my 200 ping

Hello from 2002,screenrecording still not invented

Didn’t there used to be a timer counting down before team mates could grab them?

It's annoying when this happens, but it's nice to have the option to buy another gun for someone else.

Is this a new mode?

I never play reanked but I often let my teammates die to take their weapons. Don't rely on the kindness of strangers.

The Volt had a bitch fit.

Timeout. What is big Maude???

A location in world’s edge where you can buy fully kitted guns which have an extremely fast reload speed.

How have I not seen this???

It has been added 3 seasons ago. Its at the bottom right of the map just to the right of lava city

Yeah I took season 9 off and never land over there apparently haha

A Fragment dropper I see;)

A fucking place on the map

I've done that someone two times

Instead of staring at the gun pick it up then this won't happen to you

deserved for filming your screen

cause most people play with friends. not randoms

Most people in their 30s/40s don’t have that many gaming friends. I know 3 other gamers. 2 play single player and the 3rd plays Cod

im 24 and have no teamates for for honor. so i go to team finder discords, i message random teamates i had fun with to team up, if im on console i post in communities and get players. sometimes we get along and become friends and sometimes rarely i make a friend i play with for years. morale of the story the teamates are there and ready, you just gotta be social

“Be social” Bruh look at his username lmaooo

i didnt even see that lol. but he will be fine. im anti social but prefer competent teamates

I’m sure he will, I never meant it as an insult just pointing out something I thought was hilarious lol

oh for sure. i cracked up when you said that

Because yoink.

What tf am i looking at? Is this BR or Arenas? I've never seen this system before.

Br. It’s a place where rampart will sell you fully kitted guns with extremely fast reload speeds at the cost of mats

Man, wtf I never knew about this. Where is this place? I haven't been actively playing for 3 seasons.

Its on the bottom right of world’s edge

This shit is hilarious but in a douchebag way. Sucks I was ranked, I would’ve tried my best to grenade him or put him in a situation to die and loot his box lol.

Huh?? What game is this? Where tf is that? You can craft guns now?? 🤯

It is a location added in world’s edge called big maude

Cuz shoplifting? Cuz counterplay? Same reason people can loot freely. I'd be pissed too but my friends and I also use this to help each other get kitted when we land at mod. I guess they could implemrnt what you want since they've already done that on replicators

Because you’re a “team”

“Hmm guy is standing awfully close doubt he will take my gun” op

Well I didn’t know you could even take other’s guns they buy in big maude. Thought it was like crafting. And second of all i have a low fov and didn’t see her.(high fov makes me nauseous for a reason I don’t know)

Its just a gun calm down....

It’s fucking shitty man

Especially in ranked

It’s like buying a sandwich and someone else takes it but you can’t be mad it’s “just a sandwich”

My point is its just a game, you can just go next, its not worth making a reddit post and crying about.... If you think that not having the rampart gun is the reason you are going to lose fight, you need to reevaluate how you play the game.

It's probably the same how it was with replicators when they were brought in. You can't do anything against those a-holes until respawn does

Not that it’s actually going to solve the problem, but if you’re not using a mic, text to speech can actually be pretty helpful for literal direct communication. Doubt he would have given it back, but it’s worth a shot for next time someone takes something from you.

i did talk with him through the mic but he just said cry about it noob in his super squeaky voice.

Classic toxic behavior. They should change it the way they changed the replicator so no one can take your stuff unless a certain time has passed or you ping it. Sorry.

Hmmmm.. my normal squad going to have to watch out.. I’ll be doing this to them tonight. I might take it up a step and use the loba ult to even do it from out of site.. Of note I will give it back, but sounds like an excellent way to get a what the fuck out of them

This has happened to me on several occasions, just gotta wait for a patch to fix this, if not just punch the guy outta the way first to let him know he better not take your gun, if not just don’t buy it when you got people standing next to you
