Shroud explains why hot-dropping in Apex Legends is \u201cstupid\u201d Superstart Twitch streamer Michael \u2018Shroud\u2019 Grzesiek is not a fan of the concept of hot-dropping in Apex Legends, and he\u2019s now revealed the reason why. Hot-dropping is a term in Apex Legends that refers to the practice of landing on certain areas of the map that are known to attract a lot of players from the get-go. A lot of players like to hot-drop because not only does it increase the likelihood that they will find the best loot, such as in the designated Hot Zone, but it also gives them a chance to get into some early gunfights. Shroud, however, does not believe that this is an effective strategy. In fact, the former CS:GO pro contends that hot-dropping is actually \u201cstupid\u201d and makes no sense. \u201cThe hot-drops are stupid as hell,\u201d he said. \u201cEveryone is hot-dropping but they don\u2019t realize how dumb it is to hot drop.\u201d As for why Shroud has such a negative opinion of hot-dropping, he explained that the two main reasons for why players hot-drop are possible to achieve without having to land at locations infested with players. \u201cThere\u2019s no reason to hot-drop in this game at all,\u201d he explained. \u201cThere\u2019s loot everywhere, right? It\u2019s all about the same. And each game lasts 15-20 minutes long, it\u2019s not like a fucking hell of a commitment. You\u2019re going to find action regardless.\u201d \u201cIf you hot-drop, you\u2019re going to waste more time trying to get your good action than actually just fucking playing the game,\u201d he went on. \u201cHot-drop works in PUBG because PUBG takes three million years.\u201d Prior to breaking down why hot-dropping is not the brightest strategy in Apex Legends, Shroud revealed that his main issue with the concept is that it\u2019s been causing the game to feel \u201cboring\u201d lately. Since so many players choose to hot-drop, many end up falling in the early stages of each match, causing the middle phase to become both drawn out and devoid of any action.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
