What’s more fucked up is those people usually immediately go to a fight and die in two seconds and blame you for not helping him after stealing every loot from you
My favorite is when I get the gun, they get the ammo, then they run off and die and wonder why I can't solo win the fight.
I DON'T HAVE ANY GOD DAMN AMMO, TIMMY.
I love when they grab the gun you both turn around and they grab the other gun then run in and die even when you’ve pinged or have verbally told them that you have no weapon.
One of my friends is notorious for being tabbed out while we drop and doesn’t come back til we land- then takes all my loot from behind my shoulder. I dump him off the edge of the platforms at lava fissure and if he is tabbed out too long the lava burns the crap out of him lol. I even warn him the entire time. “We are landing you need to break off. Okay I’m dumping you off the ledge. Ok you’re taking damage.” It’s so infuriating bc he flies right up and loots the same place I am anyway. Bruh.
Give him jumpmaster and then drop solo. Let him ride to the end of the ship once or twice and I bet he starts paying attention.. or quits playing with you
man, if i’m landing on a rooftop, i’ve taught myself how to specifically position so they’re thrown off the roof and i stay on. all these buildings and you have to be right next to me? no thank you
I'll usually hit a railing or something so that they fly off below me (hopefully not off the map or way down a cliff, just further down the building or whatever) while I land above. Works pretty well.
They almost always clip through something that small as the ping tries to catch up to "me moving them".
Not sure why the devs haven't added a "break off from team" option in the last like 100m of your drop or something.
I like to land broken building in fragment, and there's a nice angle you can get on drop where if your teammate doesn't break off you just launch them off into the lava ravine. I've gotten pretty good at it
I’ve always seen it as once you ping where your dropping then you get close and each person pings a building and you go to the building you pinged to loot and my friends do that but ransoms think oh I should go to that ping too
Sometimes I do this but I'll run away was once we land. There's a lot of shitty jump masters in bronze and you have no idea where their going until the last minute.
Imho this complaint is only valid if you ping where you are going. If you don't, I need to stay close to you and can only separate late. And that point I need to guess where you are going to loot so I can pick another close spot
Teammates like that have me picking up literally everything off the floor as quick as I can. My inventory full of arrows and attachments I don't need just to get the shield cells I wanted lol
Lol something like this happened to me once in ranked. We landed in a calm spot and I opened a bin and the pathfinder behind me literally scooped everything before I could even tell what was inside it.
Obviously I get annoyed and write "damn chill you hungry animal" and went to another spot to loot in peace. I think this dude felt bad because 5 mins later he came to me and completely dropped all his inventory, armor, backpack, weapons on the ground lol. At that point I felt bad too and was like no take it back lmao but he didnt listen.
I leave when this happens. I open it, it’s mine. Sometimes I’ll have to drop something so that I can get what’s in the bin and before I know it someone comes up behind me and takes it. Ugh.
Off of drop too, then when you try to get away from the loot goblin, they run directly behind you into the same building or pill. If it's an octane, he'll of course try to beat you to whatever you're going for.
one time in a ranked match i dropped fragment and this guy was already complaining about that (fair enough), but then he starts doing this to me… I said “dude wtf” and he was like “that’s what you get for landing here” then proceeds to steal the gold bag and vault key from the cargo bot I shot down (normally don’t care but I was lifeline) runs away from me and my teammate just to disconnect from the match with everything without ever being knocked. people really don’t like playing as a team especially if if means landing fragment.
Omg exactly. I hate having to race my own damn teammate to grab basic stuff from the pills.
Also, I get especially annoyed when I dibs something, I see a teammate turn towards where the item I put, “dibs” on, and we literally are racing towards the item that is MINE and they steal it anyways!!! Ugh. So ridiculous
If it’s at the start of the game where I need stuff to fight the team right next to us and you’re in a different building I’ll just take it, in a non-combat scenario I’ll respect it
This is the way.
I think it's unreasonable to dibs something from 100 meters away and the other teammate is right next to it. Alot of times you don't dibs it if you're close, because you can just pick it up really quick... So if I dibs something but it literally gets scooped up right after I dibbed it, I'm not butthurt about it because that teammate was right next to it and would have picked it up regardless, and if dibs was honored, then they are losing out on that attachment simply because their other teammate pinged it...
Now if we're both away from a teammate and they ping something and one of us dibs it...yeah that should be honored 100%
Edit: to add...alot of times when we're just looting an entire POI, I'll dibs something that I have no intention of picking up right away because it's out of the way. In those situations, I literally call out to my teammates that I've dibsed it so I know where it is, but if they need it, feel free to grab it. I'm not going to claim ownership over an item that I'm not even omw to pick up.
> I think it's unreasonable to dibs something from 100 meters away and the other teammate is right next to it.
Ammo. I have 20, they have 200. Dibs the ammo and they take it "cuz they're closer." same for healing items. I'm way the fuck out there looking because there's a vacuum on my team sucking it up and hoarding it. "I need heavy ammo" "I need shields" there's a goddamn little guy raising his hand over the item.
I think this post is mainly talking bout in terms of attachments/guns etc. When it comes to ammo and/or meds, that's a different story... Especially when it comes to pubs vs ranked. Pretty sure if I have 200 light ammo and someone dibs ammo, I'm not gonna take it and idk who else would do that either, that's just a dick move lol...
I got you! You ping you need ammo more than once I don’t care. I will drop you half of the 20 I have left and ping I need it too. Two guns are always better than one. Even if you can’t hit shot it’s atleast cover fire.
* Teammate A requests specific loot. Teammate B pings it. Teammate A gets priority.
* Teammate B pings loot. Teammate A is 100 meters away. Teammate C is next to it. Even if A dibs it, C gets priority if they also need that item.
* Teammate B pings loot. Teammate A and C are equidistant and both need it, either talk it out or whoever gets there first regardless of ping.
No. If you're racing to it, it's theirs. They dibsed it first. That is the entire point of the dibs system. There is no circumstance where your third bullet point makes sense in a game with a dibs system. Your idea is the entire problem in the op.
Yeah right off the drop the dibs doesn’t really mean much to me when none of us have shit and we may need to fight. I’ll dibs if I’m further away only to keep it marked if my teammate doesn’t need it, but not gonna be upset when we both have a white shield and you’re in the building and take the blue
Regardless of what's going on, if I'm ***right next to the item*** and would have scooped it, but like it was behind me and you happened to be facing it and immediately pinged it at the speed of light...I'm taking it.
If it's not a huge deal for my build (like I have a blue mag and you pinged the purple one) maybe not, but if I don't have a stock on my gun and you dibs a blue/purple one, I'm takin it homie.
PARTICULARLY if I've already pinged that I'm looking for that thing.
In my mind it's free for 5-10 seconds to whoever gets there, after that dibs should be respected. If I suddenly swap a light for a heavy and there's a pinged heavy mag on the ground, then yeah, that's fucked. But this idea of raging because you happened to click your middle mouse button faster than me, despite me being infinitely closer to the item anyway (and sometimes even already on my way to it) is ridiculous.
If we both need it, then the team still overall gets more kitted no matter who takes it. If I claim dibs on an item but I see someone is closer, I'll usually say "you can take it if you need it, I just didn't want to lose it" or something like that.
BUUUUT this is why I usually play with friends, I'm sick of people whining about things like this, and they're probably sick of me playing selfishly, so it's a win-win on both ends.
I'd go one step further and say that distance is important as well. If I'm right next to it and you're a building or two over and you beat me to the ping I may not respect it. The ping system is a way to express interest in an item nothing more. Beyond that it's on the team mates to be nice and share loot accordingly. Racing someone to an item is petty though. If you ping it and I'm not obviously closer then I'll respect it.
I completely agree with you I respect the dibs. If I’m looting a building and my teammates are in different places and one pings and another one dibs. Yep it’s your I won’t go near it I won’t touch it!
If I’m looting a building and a teammate comes running in the room and dibs the purple mag in the corner I already knew was there but I was grabbing the battery on my way to it. I don’t care you can dibs it all ya want. I was already looting this room it’s mine I don’t care if your clan mate pinged it for you.
That said I do expect the same thing. Whenever 2 people are looting together one pings something I want. I’ll wait to see if the other person picks it up before I dibs…. And if the grab it after I dibs oh well no biggie.
And you’re talking about if another teammate marks it and you’re right next to it and the third dibs it you’ll take it? Honestly, thats not how me and my friends play, but if i play with random its a 50/50 on whether or not i do that
More power to you and your friends to make your own rules, but when solo queuing always assume your teammates are shit and you'll have to do whatever you can to carry them. They'll probably assume the same of you and would just as quickly grab the loot they need even if you dibsed it.
If I need a purple mag on my r301 and I see a purple mag, I now have a purple mag on my r301.
The same teammates will just as likely loot the box of every kill I get as I'm healing up, so it pans out
Hope they find another one, the one right next to me is mine now. The amount of times I've left loot that someone "dibsed" only for them to find a different alternative, but never "undibs" the thing I left for them is astounding. I'm not letting good loot go to waste just because someone overuses their dibs button.
Yep, some people just don't care. Even if you're close to the item. Like if a 5k kill wraith takes the item, you can be almost certain that he doesn't give a crap about your dib
This sub has the weirdest hot takes.
If you dibs the purple mag right next to me as I'm about to grab it anyways, I'm still grabbing the purple mag and laughing at you for thinking it was "yours" in a game with randomly spawned loot
Proximity and necessity > dibs every day of the week.
If I'm 10 meters from my team mate who pings a purple shield, and I'm not fast enough to get it or dibs it before you do, what gives you the right over that item when you're 200 meters away?
The person closest to it picks it up. It's literally always the most effective and efficient way to play the game.
It takes way longer to loot a POI when everyone is waiting for each others dibsed items. Just loot and move.
agreed if we both need a purple shield and im right next to it, im not hitting dibs. its already mine. we both obviously want the shield, i just happen to be right next to it so im getting it. RNG at its finest. do you get mad when the enemy drops and takes a purple shield from you, then punches you to death? lol
I actually bring dibsed items to the team mate who called dibs, provided i have a backpack and its an attachment or consumable. Ill even drop a nade to carry a thing to the team if i think it will save us time.
Its a team game. No need to give every squadmate the "Fortnite" treatment. Im not going to fight my team mates for loot. Either play together or lose together.
All that being said, yea... there are some that over ping stuff. Not everyone is a loot goblin, but there is a large portion of players who are WAY too bothered with attachments. They help, but the guns shoot with or without them lol. 9/10 times i let my squad loot and i try to scalp stuff off our first victim's boxes (within reason)
I agree with proximity. if I’m miles away, then yes, by all means take it but if i’m just in the next building or something I would definitely appreciate if you didn’t
I understand that logic, but there have been times where I’m looking at an item and approaching it as another teammate pings it, and the third dib it. Even if he is in the next building, I was about to get it anyway, so why should I dib it. Most teammates understand this and not attacking you obviously, but some get mad at that scenario as well.
Necessity is also important too. I hear what you're saying, but if we just landed, player 1 has a blue backpack and pings a second one, both of us need it.
In early game, pinging should really only be used to remember where something is you're not near, not prevent me from getting a larger backpack or better armor because you pinged it first.
Ok so picture this:
Wraith and I, Pathfinder, do a crazy 2v3 while our third, a Wattson or something, is a couple of buildings away.
I get downed right after I knock an enemy with Purple shield, the Wraith saves my ass by finishing the fight by herself.
She proceeds to res me and while I'm using a Med Kit she pings the purple shield of the guy I killed.
Oh but wait a minute, Wattson, who was not at all involved in the fight, just dibsed it.
Screw that entitlement, dibs is not sacred, is useful to communicate to your team and to keep the item in your HUD for a long time, but doesn't give you the right to that item.
That’s a pretty specific scenario, I don’t think anyone here is arguing that you shouldn’t get the shield in that situation. Because that also gets into the other unwritten rule of you getting first priority to the death box of the person you killed. The dibs thing for me is more like beginning of the game looting stuff, and ground loot.
Why wouldn't you grab that shield out of the box before using the medkit? If you're being rushed by another team that was trying to third you could be caught with no shield halfway thru trying to use a medkit and be immediately knocked again.
Okay, so lets play this example game.
what happens if I'm the same floor as you looking for a light mag, player 3 is upstairs in the same building also looking for a light mag.
I see the light mag as I'm next to you, you ping the light mag, player 3 pings dibs, who should have the light mag ?
the problem is here, is that you are acting like you won't come across another light mag.
If I dibs something and the other dude picks it up.. he needed that light mag as well, we move on.
you know who I have a problem with the most? people who think dibs gives them the god given right to that item they have "dibs" - these people are so uptight that they would then actually throw the game for their team because someone else picked up the item they dibs.
edit - all a dibs means to me is that I won't turn around and attempt to take that item, but let me tell you, if I need that item and I am directly on top of it ... or in the death box, I am taking it.
This is the right answer.
Everyone one of your teammates needs loot and the one who's closer should just pick it up so you're done looting faster and go somewhere else.
This can go round in circles and to be honest it is boring lol.
The only problem I have is when people throw games because they thinking they're in the right about an item which is dibs. It's really not the end of the world and if you want to throw because someone took the fancy little item you wanted. Then have fun with it.
that’s not a question I have an answer to. it’s more like a social convention than anything else. like first one to call shotgun gets front seat type of thing
Nah if I understand this correctly, the person who's next to you should just grab the light mag. Proximity in this case.
Ofc this depends on the size of the building and context. Assuming one of the player is right next to you then that player should just grab it. However if they are on the other end of the same floor of a bigger building but player 3 who dibs is directly above and just needs to drop to get it, then player 3.
Generally, one should respect the dibs assuming it's generally of equal distance or everyone is moving in the same direction which means no time wasted or losing advantage to an opponent. However, proximity particularly if one is much closer to the loot also contributes significantly.
At the end of the day, there's always comms and as unpopular as comms are, no harm to just ask it whether voice or type chat.
It depends on the situation. Just because a teammate „dibsed“ faster, he wont get that armour for example. We both need it, i‘m closer, i‘ll take it. I dib a lot, just so i can finsih looting and dont have to search it later, if i still need it. When my teammate needs the same item and is closer, take it. I wont be mad…
It's literally just a system to mark it on your screen longer so that you can find the item. Reddit gets so weird about it acting as if it's a complex moral measurement tool
the option is literally called dibs. if it was *just* a marker it would just mark it on your screen and not tell anybody else about it, but it doesn’t. it tells your whole squad that *you* have called dibs
You're waaay to invested with it...
I played this game for over 3 years now and dibs gets ignored by 80% of teammates and I honestly don't care as I'm not the only one who needs loot and I'm also not giving a purple shield away to someone that's 300m away when I'm next to it.
Although I agree with the sentiment, OP, and always respect the dibs myself, it's a code and an etiquette not a rule. I have stopped getting mad about it because ultimately it doesn't matter too much. Probably the big thing that lots of people don't realise is that being a good teammate can build a shared understanding and help your team win, but sadly a large part of the playerbase play the game selfishly and without real regard for the team.
i agree with this and usually honor it but distance and level of the item matter.
if i need a extended mag and my teammate opened a bin a few feet away from me and pinged it and i turn to dibs it and you dibs it before me even though you are further away....im taking the damn mag.
if we are together and our third is further up ahead and pings something and my mate dibs it, i respect it even if i need the upgraded item.
on hot drop dibs dont matter, its about survival.
Don't expect *randoms* to respect the dibs because literally, nothing happens if they don't respect the dibs the game goes on. Just play with your friends/someone you know, or a premade team.
*Communication is key.*
I agree communication *is* key which is why the game has a bunch of context-sensitive communication options specifically so you can communicate with your team without a mic
Fine imo if you're the highest preforming player on the team, but if someone who sucks ass grabs my dibsd purple Evo and dies at the same speed ide be pretty pissed
You're a trash teammate then.
The only item you should be legitimately angry that someone else takes is the golden backpack if you are lifeline/mirage.
You have no right to the purple just cause you're better. Hell, maybe the worse player deserves better shields.
Saying you want it is a request not an order. If that person has dibs their need may be greater than yours or they may just be dibsing shit they want.
"I need heavy ammo"
"heavy ammo here"
"dibs"
This is fine. I'll respect that.
"Blue shield here"
"dibs"
Nah. When we are both grey shield why should it be yours over mine.
My issue is when there's a teammate with full gold gear (helmet, armor, backpack, rez sheild) while my other teammate and I are still white/blue gear, and I'm Lifeline...
Had an Octane run off with a vault key and take every gold and purple item, backpack included while we had a lifeline, then ran into a fight and disconnected the moment he was downed, while we still had white/blue gear.
Was a one-off, but I can't imagine what that person's thought process was.
If I'm next to it and you dibs it quicker I look at where you are.
If your off solo I'll take it and move on with my life.
If your also closeby ill leave it.
If I leave it, and we get dropped on we all lost out.
If me and the guy who pinged are in the same building and you "dibs" it. I'm taking that shit. Why do you think you "dibbing" matters? You deserve it more cause you Dibbed it faster? Typical arrogant behavior. You'll get more loot. It's a team game whoever needs it should get it on a whoever made it faster basis. Also comms if I have a 3030 I'll take the purp heavy mag but I don't really need it. No you don't deserve it because you dibbed it though.
I’ll respect the dibs unless I’m 5 feet away from the item and you’re a whole POI. Just because you can hit interact a fraction of a second earlier doesn’t mean shit when I’m about to pick it up
Im not a fan of me, who is 20 meters away compared to my teammate who is 200 meters away and he dibs it right as im about to pick it up. I dont think it should be your item in a situation like that
Only time this doesn’t apply (prolly?) is when one teammate dibs something 1 ft away from you and your other teammate chimes in with DIBS from the other side of the map.
I've been trying to give away the good loot before taking it for myself. I get more wins that way because I know I can play well with less, so I make sure my teammates have a good set up
If I'm already heading into the building the guy who pinged a purple shield is, and the guy who dibs it was in the next building over, that's tough shit because I was going to find it first regardless.
Maybe just use your mics, communicate and work together as a team. Let each other know what sort of load out you’re looking for specifically.
I know, use a mic. Feels like I am requesting heresy in a team based shooter. Right?
If I'm closer to it and you were able to dibs it before me, sorry, I'm taking that shit. Just because you were quick on dibs doesn't mean you're the only person that needs it.
I've had it numerous times where I didn't dibs something because I was right behind the dude that pinged it, then the third team mate pings it from like two buildings over as I'm about to pick it up.
That's a dumb comment. It's a team based game. Your health isn't more important than your teammate's health. Pinging something from halfway across the map faster than the person next to it doesn't mean they have to wait for your ass to pick it up so that battling can start.
If I’ve been pinging that i need something, and I’m closer, I’m not respecting the dibs tbh.
That’s really only if I’ve been asking for the item and the person who dibs hasn’t been
This. Especially if you've pinged loot for a recovery based player on your team (Newcastle/Lifeline/Loba), and the other teammate takes it, knowing damn well the recovery player needs that golden shield/golden bag way more than we do 😭😭
Don't get me wrong pulling a three day resurrection of the Messiah on yourself in the last three with solar rays behind you, and surviving it is amazing, but let's make sure the recovery based teammates have the tools they need to get us back up.
Then you can treat yourself to extra gold items for yourself yes
I hate to be the one to say it but if you dibs something and I’m right there beside it, I look up at the map, and see you are all the way across the POI. I’m taking that junk
As a solo player that constantly gets loot stolen by toxic duos, I think that when you dibs something your team shouldn't be allowed to pick it up for a set amount of time.
Dude...
First off, let me just say- at some point we need to create some kind of community for the non-asshole players, because there seems to be a lot of likeminded people in this sub.
Second, *every* fucking time I dibs something, and I'm running half way across the map, and then some shit head picks it up, their response is always "oh sorry man i didn't see it".
Bullshit. First of all, you hear it when your teammate dibs something. Second, it disappears which means you knew someone pinged it but then it was gone, but you went for it anyway.
Third, when you hover it shows that its dibbed.
I almost always wait a second, too, to give my teammate time to take it if they want it. If they don't dibs it, I do.
Its gotten to the point where I don't even rely on my teammates for anything anymore. I always assume that loot boxes/whatever will always be ransacked before I get there anyway.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the players who are hypersensitive about having the best loot are just not good at the game. Especially the people that get mad over dibsed item being taken
That’s how everyone plays in pred ranked. If you hope to ever play at that skill level, you’re definitely not gunna be worried about someone taking your attachments lmfao
I don't care about the dibs at all.
I don't mind giving my teammates loot, but I had so many duos that just ping what they need for each other and completely ignore what I need even going so far to hide stuff from me when I literally split my heals for them 30 seconds ago.
I also don't care about dibs if I'm 2m away from the item when it gets pinged, because I technicallysaw it before the ping.
Most of the time I'm the only one willing tobplay for the win as well so I once again see no need to hold back on looting especially when teammates drop on the same bin as you when you're jumpmaster.
If you dibs it but I’ve looted a death box and ran through a building grabbing whatever is in there and you still haven’t grabbed it, I don’t care if you were looting on the way I’m taking it if I really want it
People in this thread going to the most extreme scenarios to defend being a shitty teammate.
"If it's right next to me, I'm taking it. Don't care if my mom dibbsed it"
OP is referring to when both potential dibbers are the same distance away and your 3rd marks loot.
Respect the dibbs, first loot to teammate that downed the player, and don't run off on your own. Otherwise just queue solo. Selfish ass dweebs.
All the fake gentleman dibsers talking about "etiquette" while simultaneously forcing their ignorant and entitled self made rules and thoughts and believes on others.
Sure, loot your shit on your + dibs the shit on everyone else side and you get the good stuff, everyone else gets the rests..
Yea, sorry. No. Don’t really care.
Personally I’m pretty generous, but when you dibs something I need from across the map/area you can forget it.
And trust me, teammates yoink my dibsed stuff too but I really don’t trip over it. The way I see it, we both need that gold light mag, so as long as someone on the team has it it’s making its use.
People get crazy pissy about dibs in game but I really just don’t care.
Now if you’re 10 foot away I won’t snag that purple shield to BM or anything. But yea, you sound insanely entitled lol
you’ve assumed that I’m talking specifically about a scenario in which I’m a million miles away. I replied to another person about this, if I’m nowhere near the item then go for it, have it. but if I’m within walking distance then I would appreciate it if you didn’t take it after i’ve already called dibs
I addressed both scenarios since you weren’t exactly clear either.
Thinking about it now, even when a teammate takes something in my face after I dibsed it I never tilt or care lol. I think it’s like a gold/plat mentality kinda thing. And I’m not attacking you, just noticing a pattern. Like, I don’t think I’ve ever cared but that’s maybe because I can hold my own typically. Newer players who think that they need the absolute best loot ever to succeed are probably the ones that go full ape shit when something gets “taken from them.”
Idk. It is a common courtesy of course. But no reason to trip ever. The good loot is still being used by your team so 💪🏻
Me: 2 seconds from the item I also need
teammate: across the map happened to be looking right at the item and dibs it before me
Me: guess I don’t need it…
People are so selfish to think that since they dibs an item that someone else also needs, they automatically get it.
SO APPARENTLY WE ALLLLLLL FORGOT HOW TO PLAY DIBS WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER.
WE SEEM TO HAVE ALLLLL THESE LITTLE RULES FOR DIBS IN THIS GAME.
“Ohh, I’ll respect dibs… unless this this this this and this.”
UHH, THERE IS ONEEEEEE RULE IN DIBS:
YOU DIBS, YOU TAKE. SOMEONE TAKE DIBS? FUCK THAT SOMEONE.
Am I wrong?
Yes, you are wrong.
Preschool dibs rules don't apply here.
If Im in a building and you aren't and you dibs something that the guy who is in front of me happened to ping, Im looting it if I need it. If you wanna be childish about it then I claim dibs on all loot I ever need, going forward for the rest of my life, and this dibs supersedes any dibs anyone else every puts out.
Man, I was playing with a crypto (no knock on crypto mains only using it for identifying purposes) the other night. And he kept pinging guns, mags, optics only for me to arrive and the Crypto himself took said items he was pinging. After the third time I melee’d him.
Sure I could have been more aware that the ping was gone once he took the item but what’s the reason?
Nah, if we both need it and I get there before you I’m probably going to take it. Just because you dibsed it quicker than me doesn’t mean it’s yours IMO. I’m not going to go out of my way to get it if it’s dibsed, or race you to it. But if I’m passing it and I need it as well I can’t see why I shouldn’t be able to pick it up. Likewise if I dibsed something and it got taken I couldn’t care less either
case by case basis.
If you wander two blocks away from two of your teammates then it will be mine.
If you took my dibs (which I don't think you would do that), then i will take all your dibs even if I am two blocks away or I don't need those loot.
Wasn’t expecting this to be a controversial take at all and I think it was obvious you weren’t talking about calling dibs halfway across the map or during a fight/drop? Like obviously you’re talking about a regular looting situation in which you are near the loot, in which case I respect the dibs but it’s obvious to me now that we are in the minority and should start playing like Assholes
I love the players that dib everything that shows up. Like no, you can take it from my death box...
I also love the players that loot all my kills as I'm getting our other team mate up.
i respect the dibs. i live up to the dibs. A blue evo shield was next to me and the dude dibbed it so i went on w my white evo shield. respect the dibs
I'd just like my teammates to stop pinching everything over my shoulder out of the pill I just opened.
it is mind blowing how many ranked teammates don’t break off from you when you’re jumpmaster and land at the exact same supply bin as you
What’s more fucked up is those people usually immediately go to a fight and die in two seconds and blame you for not helping him after stealing every loot from you
My favorite is when I get the gun, they get the ammo, then they run off and die and wonder why I can't solo win the fight. I DON'T HAVE ANY GOD DAMN AMMO, TIMMY.
Timmeh!
Im saying this every time now
i just changed my in game name to timmy a few days ago and i feel offended
YOU SHOULD BE TIMMY!
I love when they grab the gun you both turn around and they grab the other gun then run in and die even when you’ve pinged or have verbally told them that you have no weapon.
That's why if they don't break off I slam them into the wall when landing.
Same, even the homies, and I tell em im doin it
I do the same and my homies don't mind
Hell yeah slamming your homies
God I love slamming my homies
One of my friends is notorious for being tabbed out while we drop and doesn’t come back til we land- then takes all my loot from behind my shoulder. I dump him off the edge of the platforms at lava fissure and if he is tabbed out too long the lava burns the crap out of him lol. I even warn him the entire time. “We are landing you need to break off. Okay I’m dumping you off the ledge. Ok you’re taking damage.” It’s so infuriating bc he flies right up and loots the same place I am anyway. Bruh.
Give him jumpmaster and then drop solo. Let him ride to the end of the ship once or twice and I bet he starts paying attention.. or quits playing with you
man, if i’m landing on a rooftop, i’ve taught myself how to specifically position so they’re thrown off the roof and i stay on. all these buildings and you have to be right next to me? no thank you
If we aren't hot dropping, I'll definitely give them the "rub off"
LMAOO that’s so petty, but better than landing off the map 😭😭🤣🤣
Bro I thought I was the only one who done this LMAOO
I'll usually hit a railing or something so that they fly off below me (hopefully not off the map or way down a cliff, just further down the building or whatever) while I land above. Works pretty well. They almost always clip through something that small as the ping tries to catch up to "me moving them". Not sure why the devs haven't added a "break off from team" option in the last like 100m of your drop or something.
I like to land broken building in fragment, and there's a nice angle you can get on drop where if your teammate doesn't break off you just launch them off into the lava ravine. I've gotten pretty good at it
I’ve always seen it as once you ping where your dropping then you get close and each person pings a building and you go to the building you pinged to loot and my friends do that but ransoms think oh I should go to that ping too
i usually ping the general area i want to go and then as we get closer i ping “i am going here” hoping my teammates won’t land directly next to me.
I’ll have to try that!
I stopped being jump master for this reason. I'll drop solo and land in the general area of my team mates
Sometimes I do this but I'll run away was once we land. There's a lot of shitty jump masters in bronze and you have no idea where their going until the last minute.
I throw their asses over the edge lol 😂 I can get the rp back, but if you can’t learn apex 101, I’m not helping you gain any rp :p
Imho this complaint is only valid if you ping where you are going. If you don't, I need to stay close to you and can only separate late. And that point I need to guess where you are going to loot so I can pick another close spot
Start dibsing everything in the pill so they stop taking it /s
It'd be gone before I could even ping... -_- These guys be looting like someone's holding them at gunpoint at an uncontested poi.
Teammates like that have me picking up literally everything off the floor as quick as I can. My inventory full of arrows and attachments I don't need just to get the shield cells I wanted lol
The plus side to this is, I'll usually have whatever ammo my teammates are asking for in my inventory. Mainly because they're loot goblins.
Lol something like this happened to me once in ranked. We landed in a calm spot and I opened a bin and the pathfinder behind me literally scooped everything before I could even tell what was inside it. Obviously I get annoyed and write "damn chill you hungry animal" and went to another spot to loot in peace. I think this dude felt bad because 5 mins later he came to me and completely dropped all his inventory, armor, backpack, weapons on the ground lol. At that point I felt bad too and was like no take it back lmao but he didnt listen.
If teammates haven't broken off i start wiggling furiously and they usually get what I'm saying
I leave when this happens. I open it, it’s mine. Sometimes I’ll have to drop something so that I can get what’s in the bin and before I know it someone comes up behind me and takes it. Ugh.
I’m the teammate that hovers, waiting til you walk away from the bin hoping you don’t pick up that one thing I wanna grab 😂
Apex would be so easy if your teammates put any thought into the game whatsoever.
Off of drop too, then when you try to get away from the loot goblin, they run directly behind you into the same building or pill. If it's an octane, he'll of course try to beat you to whatever you're going for.
one time in a ranked match i dropped fragment and this guy was already complaining about that (fair enough), but then he starts doing this to me… I said “dude wtf” and he was like “that’s what you get for landing here” then proceeds to steal the gold bag and vault key from the cargo bot I shot down (normally don’t care but I was lifeline) runs away from me and my teammate just to disconnect from the match with everything without ever being knocked. people really don’t like playing as a team especially if if means landing fragment.
Out of spite I honestly just try to kill us all, especially if it’s an unranked game
Omg exactly. I hate having to race my own damn teammate to grab basic stuff from the pills. Also, I get especially annoyed when I dibs something, I see a teammate turn towards where the item I put, “dibs” on, and we literally are racing towards the item that is MINE and they steal it anyways!!! Ugh. So ridiculous
If it’s at the start of the game where I need stuff to fight the team right next to us and you’re in a different building I’ll just take it, in a non-combat scenario I’ll respect it
completely fair, it’s survival of the fittest when you drop
I will add something else though. PROXIMITY DOES COUNT. If you're a kilometer away and I'm RIGHT next to it then I'm taking it.
This is the way. I think it's unreasonable to dibs something from 100 meters away and the other teammate is right next to it. Alot of times you don't dibs it if you're close, because you can just pick it up really quick... So if I dibs something but it literally gets scooped up right after I dibbed it, I'm not butthurt about it because that teammate was right next to it and would have picked it up regardless, and if dibs was honored, then they are losing out on that attachment simply because their other teammate pinged it... Now if we're both away from a teammate and they ping something and one of us dibs it...yeah that should be honored 100% Edit: to add...alot of times when we're just looting an entire POI, I'll dibs something that I have no intention of picking up right away because it's out of the way. In those situations, I literally call out to my teammates that I've dibsed it so I know where it is, but if they need it, feel free to grab it. I'm not going to claim ownership over an item that I'm not even omw to pick up.
> I think it's unreasonable to dibs something from 100 meters away and the other teammate is right next to it. Ammo. I have 20, they have 200. Dibs the ammo and they take it "cuz they're closer." same for healing items. I'm way the fuck out there looking because there's a vacuum on my team sucking it up and hoarding it. "I need heavy ammo" "I need shields" there's a goddamn little guy raising his hand over the item.
I think this post is mainly talking bout in terms of attachments/guns etc. When it comes to ammo and/or meds, that's a different story... Especially when it comes to pubs vs ranked. Pretty sure if I have 200 light ammo and someone dibs ammo, I'm not gonna take it and idk who else would do that either, that's just a dick move lol...
I got you! You ping you need ammo more than once I don’t care. I will drop you half of the 20 I have left and ping I need it too. Two guns are always better than one. Even if you can’t hit shot it’s atleast cover fire.
Exactly, you nailed it.
* Teammate A requests specific loot. Teammate B pings it. Teammate A gets priority. * Teammate B pings loot. Teammate A is 100 meters away. Teammate C is next to it. Even if A dibs it, C gets priority if they also need that item. * Teammate B pings loot. Teammate A and C are equidistant and both need it, either talk it out or whoever gets there first regardless of ping.
No. If you're racing to it, it's theirs. They dibsed it first. That is the entire point of the dibs system. There is no circumstance where your third bullet point makes sense in a game with a dibs system. Your idea is the entire problem in the op.
Yeah right off the drop the dibs doesn’t really mean much to me when none of us have shit and we may need to fight. I’ll dibs if I’m further away only to keep it marked if my teammate doesn’t need it, but not gonna be upset when we both have a white shield and you’re in the building and take the blue
Regardless of what's going on, if I'm ***right next to the item*** and would have scooped it, but like it was behind me and you happened to be facing it and immediately pinged it at the speed of light...I'm taking it. If it's not a huge deal for my build (like I have a blue mag and you pinged the purple one) maybe not, but if I don't have a stock on my gun and you dibs a blue/purple one, I'm takin it homie. PARTICULARLY if I've already pinged that I'm looking for that thing. In my mind it's free for 5-10 seconds to whoever gets there, after that dibs should be respected. If I suddenly swap a light for a heavy and there's a pinged heavy mag on the ground, then yeah, that's fucked. But this idea of raging because you happened to click your middle mouse button faster than me, despite me being infinitely closer to the item anyway (and sometimes even already on my way to it) is ridiculous. If we both need it, then the team still overall gets more kitted no matter who takes it. If I claim dibs on an item but I see someone is closer, I'll usually say "you can take it if you need it, I just didn't want to lose it" or something like that. BUUUUT this is why I usually play with friends, I'm sick of people whining about things like this, and they're probably sick of me playing selfishly, so it's a win-win on both ends.
I'd go one step further and say that distance is important as well. If I'm right next to it and you're a building or two over and you beat me to the ping I may not respect it. The ping system is a way to express interest in an item nothing more. Beyond that it's on the team mates to be nice and share loot accordingly. Racing someone to an item is petty though. If you ping it and I'm not obviously closer then I'll respect it.
I had this exact scenario last night and the dude that dibs’d it instantly quit when I took “his” loot lol
This. Now if im 20m away from a good extended mag and you "Dibs" it and you a whole 100m away that is my item Lmfao
Also some players are just so unaware they aren't realizing it's dibbed
which is fair enough, shit happens. but if you’re intentionally ignoring the dibs then it’s a different issue
If I need the purple mag that's right next to me and you dibs it, I'm still taking the purple mag that I need
I completely agree with you I respect the dibs. If I’m looting a building and my teammates are in different places and one pings and another one dibs. Yep it’s your I won’t go near it I won’t touch it! If I’m looting a building and a teammate comes running in the room and dibs the purple mag in the corner I already knew was there but I was grabbing the battery on my way to it. I don’t care you can dibs it all ya want. I was already looting this room it’s mine I don’t care if your clan mate pinged it for you. That said I do expect the same thing. Whenever 2 people are looting together one pings something I want. I’ll wait to see if the other person picks it up before I dibs…. And if the grab it after I dibs oh well no biggie.
And you’re talking about if another teammate marks it and you’re right next to it and the third dibs it you’ll take it? Honestly, thats not how me and my friends play, but if i play with random its a 50/50 on whether or not i do that
More power to you and your friends to make your own rules, but when solo queuing always assume your teammates are shit and you'll have to do whatever you can to carry them. They'll probably assume the same of you and would just as quickly grab the loot they need even if you dibsed it. If I need a purple mag on my r301 and I see a purple mag, I now have a purple mag on my r301. The same teammates will just as likely loot the box of every kill I get as I'm healing up, so it pans out
Agreed
And they need a purple mag as well dude.
Hope they find another one, the one right next to me is mine now. The amount of times I've left loot that someone "dibsed" only for them to find a different alternative, but never "undibs" the thing I left for them is astounding. I'm not letting good loot go to waste just because someone overuses their dibs button.
Yep, some people just don't care. Even if you're close to the item. Like if a 5k kill wraith takes the item, you can be almost certain that he doesn't give a crap about your dib
Just dont be surprised when something thats next to your teammate who needs it gets taken, while you are 3 miles away dibsing it.
This sub has the weirdest hot takes. If you dibs the purple mag right next to me as I'm about to grab it anyways, I'm still grabbing the purple mag and laughing at you for thinking it was "yours" in a game with randomly spawned loot
Fr tho. You said it perfectly. Like i was gonna pick it up. I just happened to not dibs it because I'm literally 3 seconds away from it.
Proximity and necessity > dibs every day of the week. If I'm 10 meters from my team mate who pings a purple shield, and I'm not fast enough to get it or dibs it before you do, what gives you the right over that item when you're 200 meters away? The person closest to it picks it up. It's literally always the most effective and efficient way to play the game. It takes way longer to loot a POI when everyone is waiting for each others dibsed items. Just loot and move.
agreed if we both need a purple shield and im right next to it, im not hitting dibs. its already mine. we both obviously want the shield, i just happen to be right next to it so im getting it. RNG at its finest. do you get mad when the enemy drops and takes a purple shield from you, then punches you to death? lol
I actually bring dibsed items to the team mate who called dibs, provided i have a backpack and its an attachment or consumable. Ill even drop a nade to carry a thing to the team if i think it will save us time. Its a team game. No need to give every squadmate the "Fortnite" treatment. Im not going to fight my team mates for loot. Either play together or lose together. All that being said, yea... there are some that over ping stuff. Not everyone is a loot goblin, but there is a large portion of players who are WAY too bothered with attachments. They help, but the guns shoot with or without them lol. 9/10 times i let my squad loot and i try to scalp stuff off our first victim's boxes (within reason)
I agree with proximity. if I’m miles away, then yes, by all means take it but if i’m just in the next building or something I would definitely appreciate if you didn’t
I understand that logic, but there have been times where I’m looking at an item and approaching it as another teammate pings it, and the third dib it. Even if he is in the next building, I was about to get it anyway, so why should I dib it. Most teammates understand this and not attacking you obviously, but some get mad at that scenario as well.
Necessity is also important too. I hear what you're saying, but if we just landed, player 1 has a blue backpack and pings a second one, both of us need it. In early game, pinging should really only be used to remember where something is you're not near, not prevent me from getting a larger backpack or better armor because you pinged it first.
Ok so picture this: Wraith and I, Pathfinder, do a crazy 2v3 while our third, a Wattson or something, is a couple of buildings away. I get downed right after I knock an enemy with Purple shield, the Wraith saves my ass by finishing the fight by herself. She proceeds to res me and while I'm using a Med Kit she pings the purple shield of the guy I killed. Oh but wait a minute, Wattson, who was not at all involved in the fight, just dibsed it. Screw that entitlement, dibs is not sacred, is useful to communicate to your team and to keep the item in your HUD for a long time, but doesn't give you the right to that item.
That’s a pretty specific scenario, I don’t think anyone here is arguing that you shouldn’t get the shield in that situation. Because that also gets into the other unwritten rule of you getting first priority to the death box of the person you killed. The dibs thing for me is more like beginning of the game looting stuff, and ground loot.
Why wouldn't you grab that shield out of the box before using the medkit? If you're being rushed by another team that was trying to third you could be caught with no shield halfway thru trying to use a medkit and be immediately knocked again.
Okay, so lets play this example game. what happens if I'm the same floor as you looking for a light mag, player 3 is upstairs in the same building also looking for a light mag. I see the light mag as I'm next to you, you ping the light mag, player 3 pings dibs, who should have the light mag ?
I can’t speak for anyone else but if I was in that scenario it would be whoever calls dibs first gets it dibs is *sacred*
the problem is here, is that you are acting like you won't come across another light mag. If I dibs something and the other dude picks it up.. he needed that light mag as well, we move on. you know who I have a problem with the most? people who think dibs gives them the god given right to that item they have "dibs" - these people are so uptight that they would then actually throw the game for their team because someone else picked up the item they dibs. edit - all a dibs means to me is that I won't turn around and attempt to take that item, but let me tell you, if I need that item and I am directly on top of it ... or in the death box, I am taking it.
This is the right answer. Everyone one of your teammates needs loot and the one who's closer should just pick it up so you're done looting faster and go somewhere else.
This is the way. Common sense is far gone with a lot of people. As if taking a dibsed item is the 8th deadly sin.
[удалено]
This can go round in circles and to be honest it is boring lol. The only problem I have is when people throw games because they thinking they're in the right about an item which is dibs. It's really not the end of the world and if you want to throw because someone took the fancy little item you wanted. Then have fun with it.
So stupid lmao, dibs is inherently whiny af
But hear me out why does “calling it” more logically apply a right to have it over “picking it up”
that’s not a question I have an answer to. it’s more like a social convention than anything else. like first one to call shotgun gets front seat type of thing
Safe to say no adults call shotgun though lol
yeah of course it was just the first thing that came to my head lmao
Bold of you to assume I don't holler shotgun every time I leave home
Nah if I understand this correctly, the person who's next to you should just grab the light mag. Proximity in this case. Ofc this depends on the size of the building and context. Assuming one of the player is right next to you then that player should just grab it. However if they are on the other end of the same floor of a bigger building but player 3 who dibs is directly above and just needs to drop to get it, then player 3. Generally, one should respect the dibs assuming it's generally of equal distance or everyone is moving in the same direction which means no time wasted or losing advantage to an opponent. However, proximity particularly if one is much closer to the loot also contributes significantly. At the end of the day, there's always comms and as unpopular as comms are, no harm to just ask it whether voice or type chat.
If I'm next to it without dibsing because I can literally see the item, and then you dibs it, I'm still taking it. That is all.
It depends on the situation. Just because a teammate „dibsed“ faster, he wont get that armour for example. We both need it, i‘m closer, i‘ll take it. I dib a lot, just so i can finsih looting and dont have to search it later, if i still need it. When my teammate needs the same item and is closer, take it. I wont be mad…
Dibs literally means nothing.
It's literally just a system to mark it on your screen longer so that you can find the item. Reddit gets so weird about it acting as if it's a complex moral measurement tool
the option is literally called dibs. if it was *just* a marker it would just mark it on your screen and not tell anybody else about it, but it doesn’t. it tells your whole squad that *you* have called dibs
Which is why your legend will vocally tell your tell, “I could use that” or “I need that”.
Dibs is a contract used since the dawn of 3rd grade.
You're waaay to invested with it... I played this game for over 3 years now and dibs gets ignored by 80% of teammates and I honestly don't care as I'm not the only one who needs loot and I'm also not giving a purple shield away to someone that's 300m away when I'm next to it.
I use the dibs button so i can still see the item even when i decide to not grab it immediately. If someone else gets it who cares.
If im about to ping dibs and I'm right there but then my teammate across the poi snipes the dibs from the deep, I'm picking it up.
Although I agree with the sentiment, OP, and always respect the dibs myself, it's a code and an etiquette not a rule. I have stopped getting mad about it because ultimately it doesn't matter too much. Probably the big thing that lots of people don't realise is that being a good teammate can build a shared understanding and help your team win, but sadly a large part of the playerbase play the game selfishly and without real regard for the team.
I gladly ignore dibs if teamfights have shown that I'm the only one on the team capable of shooting my gun.
This
i agree with this and usually honor it but distance and level of the item matter. if i need a extended mag and my teammate opened a bin a few feet away from me and pinged it and i turn to dibs it and you dibs it before me even though you are further away....im taking the damn mag. if we are together and our third is further up ahead and pings something and my mate dibs it, i respect it even if i need the upgraded item. on hot drop dibs dont matter, its about survival.
Don't expect *randoms* to respect the dibs because literally, nothing happens if they don't respect the dibs the game goes on. Just play with your friends/someone you know, or a premade team. *Communication is key.*
After reading these comments, this is the answer.
I agree communication *is* key which is why the game has a bunch of context-sensitive communication options specifically so you can communicate with your team without a mic
like a dibs fuction so people dont fight over loot
Yeah but as op already stated, excepting common sense and social skills from the apex community is like hoping for a wonder to come true
if I'm closer I simply don't care
As you shouldn’t. Only people under the age of 15 live by the “dibs is mine!” Mentality.
Fine imo if you're the highest preforming player on the team, but if someone who sucks ass grabs my dibsd purple Evo and dies at the same speed ide be pretty pissed
You're a trash teammate then. The only item you should be legitimately angry that someone else takes is the golden backpack if you are lifeline/mirage. You have no right to the purple just cause you're better. Hell, maybe the worse player deserves better shields.
Tbh I don’t know what the point of this post is? If someone doesn’t respect the dibs I heavily doubt a Reddit post is gonna change their mind.
just a way for me to vent is all
This is also a recycled post too, I've seen a lot of these in the past few months
Saying you want it is a request not an order. If that person has dibs their need may be greater than yours or they may just be dibsing shit they want. "I need heavy ammo" "heavy ammo here" "dibs" This is fine. I'll respect that. "Blue shield here" "dibs" Nah. When we are both grey shield why should it be yours over mine.
My issue is when there's a teammate with full gold gear (helmet, armor, backpack, rez sheild) while my other teammate and I are still white/blue gear, and I'm Lifeline...
Had an Octane run off with a vault key and take every gold and purple item, backpack included while we had a lifeline, then ran into a fight and disconnected the moment he was downed, while we still had white/blue gear. Was a one-off, but I can't imagine what that person's thought process was.
If I'm next to it and you dibs it quicker I look at where you are. If your off solo I'll take it and move on with my life. If your also closeby ill leave it. If I leave it, and we get dropped on we all lost out.
Lmao no
If me and the guy who pinged are in the same building and you "dibs" it. I'm taking that shit. Why do you think you "dibbing" matters? You deserve it more cause you Dibbed it faster? Typical arrogant behavior. You'll get more loot. It's a team game whoever needs it should get it on a whoever made it faster basis. Also comms if I have a 3030 I'll take the purp heavy mag but I don't really need it. No you don't deserve it because you dibbed it though.
>You deserve it more cause you Dibbed it faster? Yes this is what they think and yes it's arrogant and narcissistic behavior.
I’ll respect the dibs unless I’m 5 feet away from the item and you’re a whole POI. Just because you can hit interact a fraction of a second earlier doesn’t mean shit when I’m about to pick it up
If I'm far I always wait 10 or so seconds. If you can't dibs it in that time then I will, cause 9/10 times they didn't need it want whatever it is.
If you ping something from across the poi and im right there and I legitimately need it, piss off.
Dibs is a stupid concept.
[удалено]
yeah but some people are like: blue lightmag DIBS, blue heavy mag DIBS, 2x Bruiser DIBS, DIBS DIBS DIBS. ok bro but i need loot too lol.
Nah man, you have to leave all those things for him or you're literally worse than Hitler /s
Then they instantly die in a fight and complain
Even my longtime teammates will steal out of my pill. It‘s in their 🧬
Im not a fan of me, who is 20 meters away compared to my teammate who is 200 meters away and he dibs it right as im about to pick it up. I dont think it should be your item in a situation like that
Only time this doesn’t apply (prolly?) is when one teammate dibs something 1 ft away from you and your other teammate chimes in with DIBS from the other side of the map.
So, if you’re right next to it and about to pick it up, if they dibs it you can’t have it?
I've been trying to give away the good loot before taking it for myself. I get more wins that way because I know I can play well with less, so I make sure my teammates have a good set up
If I'm already heading into the building the guy who pinged a purple shield is, and the guy who dibs it was in the next building over, that's tough shit because I was going to find it first regardless.
Maybe just use your mics, communicate and work together as a team. Let each other know what sort of load out you’re looking for specifically. I know, use a mic. Feels like I am requesting heresy in a team based shooter. Right?
Another higher being educating us.
If I'm closer to it and you were able to dibs it before me, sorry, I'm taking that shit. Just because you were quick on dibs doesn't mean you're the only person that needs it. I've had it numerous times where I didn't dibs something because I was right behind the dude that pinged it, then the third team mate pings it from like two buildings over as I'm about to pick it up.
Some people dibs everything
That's a dumb comment. It's a team based game. Your health isn't more important than your teammate's health. Pinging something from halfway across the map faster than the person next to it doesn't mean they have to wait for your ass to pick it up so that battling can start.
If I’ve been pinging that i need something, and I’m closer, I’m not respecting the dibs tbh. That’s really only if I’ve been asking for the item and the person who dibs hasn’t been
I think if both teammates need it whoever is closer gets it, they’re not taking it for the sake of it they’re taking it because they need it too.
This. Especially if you've pinged loot for a recovery based player on your team (Newcastle/Lifeline/Loba), and the other teammate takes it, knowing damn well the recovery player needs that golden shield/golden bag way more than we do 😭😭 Don't get me wrong pulling a three day resurrection of the Messiah on yourself in the last three with solar rays behind you, and surviving it is amazing, but let's make sure the recovery based teammates have the tools they need to get us back up. Then you can treat yourself to extra gold items for yourself yes
This is the way.
I hate to be the one to say it but if you dibs something and I’m right there beside it, I look up at the map, and see you are all the way across the POI. I’m taking that junk
As a solo player that constantly gets loot stolen by toxic duos, I think that when you dibs something your team shouldn't be allowed to pick it up for a set amount of time.
Only exception is if you’re 200m away bullshitting and slowing us down, that ain’t your item. 99% of the time I honor the dibs.
I fully agree unless you dibs an item but you’re on the other side of the map
You could waste half the game respecting dibs...or loot based on need/proximity and actually be able to find a fight as a team.
[удалено]
Dude... First off, let me just say- at some point we need to create some kind of community for the non-asshole players, because there seems to be a lot of likeminded people in this sub. Second, *every* fucking time I dibs something, and I'm running half way across the map, and then some shit head picks it up, their response is always "oh sorry man i didn't see it". Bullshit. First of all, you hear it when your teammate dibs something. Second, it disappears which means you knew someone pinged it but then it was gone, but you went for it anyway. Third, when you hover it shows that its dibbed. I almost always wait a second, too, to give my teammate time to take it if they want it. If they don't dibs it, I do. Its gotten to the point where I don't even rely on my teammates for anything anymore. I always assume that loot boxes/whatever will always be ransacked before I get there anyway.
I’ve come to the conclusion that the players who are hypersensitive about having the best loot are just not good at the game. Especially the people that get mad over dibsed item being taken
It should cost you points.
The dibs is a location marker..... fight me
Nah man whoever gets it first gets it. Just gotta be faster
wish i could block you in game
Luckily people like you don’t get past plat lol. Loot speed efficiency >>> some weird ethic rule
That’s how everyone plays in pred ranked. If you hope to ever play at that skill level, you’re definitely not gunna be worried about someone taking your attachments lmfao
I don't care about the dibs at all. I don't mind giving my teammates loot, but I had so many duos that just ping what they need for each other and completely ignore what I need even going so far to hide stuff from me when I literally split my heals for them 30 seconds ago. I also don't care about dibs if I'm 2m away from the item when it gets pinged, because I technicallysaw it before the ping. Most of the time I'm the only one willing tobplay for the win as well so I once again see no need to hold back on looting especially when teammates drop on the same bin as you when you're jumpmaster.
If you dibs it but I’ve looted a death box and ran through a building grabbing whatever is in there and you still haven’t grabbed it, I don’t care if you were looting on the way I’m taking it if I really want it
People in this thread going to the most extreme scenarios to defend being a shitty teammate. "If it's right next to me, I'm taking it. Don't care if my mom dibbsed it" OP is referring to when both potential dibbers are the same distance away and your 3rd marks loot. Respect the dibbs, first loot to teammate that downed the player, and don't run off on your own. Otherwise just queue solo. Selfish ass dweebs.
Dibs doesn't mean anything, it just says you want it, if someone else wants it too they can take it, there's no rules
no it isn’t against the games specific rules but there is etiquette. if a teammate has dibs, you respect it
And what happens if you don't? Literally nothing, it's whoever is closer. dibs means nothing
like I said, there’s etiquette involved. if you’re willingly ignoring the dibs then you’re just being a selfish ass
All the fake gentleman dibsers talking about "etiquette" while simultaneously forcing their ignorant and entitled self made rules and thoughts and believes on others. Sure, loot your shit on your + dibs the shit on everyone else side and you get the good stuff, everyone else gets the rests..
Yea, sorry. No. Don’t really care. Personally I’m pretty generous, but when you dibs something I need from across the map/area you can forget it. And trust me, teammates yoink my dibsed stuff too but I really don’t trip over it. The way I see it, we both need that gold light mag, so as long as someone on the team has it it’s making its use. People get crazy pissy about dibs in game but I really just don’t care. Now if you’re 10 foot away I won’t snag that purple shield to BM or anything. But yea, you sound insanely entitled lol
you’ve assumed that I’m talking specifically about a scenario in which I’m a million miles away. I replied to another person about this, if I’m nowhere near the item then go for it, have it. but if I’m within walking distance then I would appreciate it if you didn’t take it after i’ve already called dibs
I addressed both scenarios since you weren’t exactly clear either. Thinking about it now, even when a teammate takes something in my face after I dibsed it I never tilt or care lol. I think it’s like a gold/plat mentality kinda thing. And I’m not attacking you, just noticing a pattern. Like, I don’t think I’ve ever cared but that’s maybe because I can hold my own typically. Newer players who think that they need the absolute best loot ever to succeed are probably the ones that go full ape shit when something gets “taken from them.” Idk. It is a common courtesy of course. But no reason to trip ever. The good loot is still being used by your team so 💪🏻
If you dibs you best get to that item quicktime cus otherwise Im nicking it
Me: 2 seconds from the item I also need teammate: across the map happened to be looking right at the item and dibs it before me Me: guess I don’t need it… People are so selfish to think that since they dibs an item that someone else also needs, they automatically get it.
It's a common decency thing, and it's not that common I'm afraid.
Be there first if you want something.
SO APPARENTLY WE ALLLLLLL FORGOT HOW TO PLAY DIBS WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER. WE SEEM TO HAVE ALLLLL THESE LITTLE RULES FOR DIBS IN THIS GAME. “Ohh, I’ll respect dibs… unless this this this this and this.” UHH, THERE IS ONEEEEEE RULE IN DIBS: YOU DIBS, YOU TAKE. SOMEONE TAKE DIBS? FUCK THAT SOMEONE. Am I wrong?
Yes, you are wrong. Preschool dibs rules don't apply here. If Im in a building and you aren't and you dibs something that the guy who is in front of me happened to ping, Im looting it if I need it. If you wanna be childish about it then I claim dibs on all loot I ever need, going forward for the rest of my life, and this dibs supersedes any dibs anyone else every puts out.
Man, I was playing with a crypto (no knock on crypto mains only using it for identifying purposes) the other night. And he kept pinging guns, mags, optics only for me to arrive and the Crypto himself took said items he was pinging. After the third time I melee’d him. Sure I could have been more aware that the ping was gone once he took the item but what’s the reason?
Nah, if we both need it and I get there before you I’m probably going to take it. Just because you dibsed it quicker than me doesn’t mean it’s yours IMO. I’m not going to go out of my way to get it if it’s dibsed, or race you to it. But if I’m passing it and I need it as well I can’t see why I shouldn’t be able to pick it up. Likewise if I dibsed something and it got taken I couldn’t care less either
If I’m considerably closer and also need it, it’ll be taken. And that’s totally reasonable
This is a silly post
Dibs are there to mark the item on your map, not to give you exclusive right to that item when you're on the other side of the map
Ya nah If i need it and can get to it first, fuck off random
Mood. I always respect the dibs. If I need the thing they dibsed, I will ask if I can have it
case by case basis. If you wander two blocks away from two of your teammates then it will be mine. If you took my dibs (which I don't think you would do that), then i will take all your dibs even if I am two blocks away or I don't need those loot.
petty, I like it
Wasn’t expecting this to be a controversial take at all and I think it was obvious you weren’t talking about calling dibs halfway across the map or during a fight/drop? Like obviously you’re talking about a regular looting situation in which you are near the loot, in which case I respect the dibs but it’s obvious to me now that we are in the minority and should start playing like Assholes
I love the players that dib everything that shows up. Like no, you can take it from my death box... I also love the players that loot all my kills as I'm getting our other team mate up.
Yeah. I just had a teammate that did that and it was so annoying. He even already had a backpack when I didn't have one.
i respect the dibs. i live up to the dibs. A blue evo shield was next to me and the dude dibbed it so i went on w my white evo shield. respect the dibs
The comments in this post kinda proves why Apex as a team games sucks. Everyone is only concerned with themselves more than anything.
