JIP while using Legendary Boost....

Well, I’m sure you know how this story ends. Go into big team battle Playlist and equip a legendary boost and it throws me in a game where I’m on a team losing by 20 kills(65 to 45). I stay and help as much as possible but we still lose by 15+.

What a waste…

This was just changed recently so that in situations like this the boost is not consumed. I experienced this last night with an ultra rare RP boost for mission victory and I could keep using it until I won.

Well mission victory boosts will restore themselves until you actually win, but I don’t think that is the case for other boosts

My boosts don’t even work in JIP games. Anyway OP, a tip for knowing you’re going into a JIP game is the screen won’t change to the map that you’re playing on and you won’t get a countdown timer.

A standard boost or jackpot will more often than not be consumed, or atleast in my experience.

As to you, OP. Here’s a tip. If the loading screen while it starts the match doesnt change from the default loading screen wallpaper to the map you’ll be playing on, it’s a jip

I’ve done that a few times. I got some pointers to help keep you out of that

That’s why you gotta pre-equip a normal boost (or jackpot). If you see the proper map art pop up when the game/map starts to load, which to another boost.

if you see that default background (for Warzone it’s on Apex, Spartans fighting a knight boss), it’s JIP. Keep the normal/jackpot boost on.

For JIP, you have to equip the boost BEFORE the loading screen for it to take effect. If you see the JIP loading screen, then decide to switch boosts, it won’t work.

hope this helps for next time!
