Every now and then I get matched up with someone who insists on playing solo. They don’t help in missions, go off and do their own thing. Most of the time, it doesn’t bother me. They get some good loot and the rest of the squad focuses on goals. But every now and then I get a griefer who only wants to kill me when I spawn in, throws every respawn right in the line of fire and essentially uses me as canon fodder to distract mass hoards of enemies while he gets away. The worst is the people who kick you for no reason, right before getting extracted so you don’t get any credit for the mission you just worked. Those last two groups get instant blocks and reports from me.
Not gonna lie though, I’ve accidentally landed on a teammate before, apologized about it and let them kill me back too, no harm no foul. But then they proceeded to spend the rest of the match team killing me. Had to kick that guy.
I like to play “solo scout” sometimes, but I try to be mindful of my proximity to teammates and to objectives. Ideally someone who runs off and loots or does side objectives is also able to make it back to the team to deal with a titan/tank. Also, there’s not much point in hoarding samples if you can’t extract.
Stamina booster and jetpack/shieldpack are essential for playing this way, though.
What’s funny is, one time I had someone consistently just shooting me every time I got reinforced. After the 3rd time, I headshot them with a counter sniper once, reinforced them immediately, then went back to what I was doing, and they just stopped shooting me after that. Absolute mystery to me really.
