Not sure if anyone’s run into this, but Danger Zone was getting smaller and smaller and on my last life, it spawned me in an area that made me lose half my shields before getting out. The Safe Zone was small enough that by the time I got out of the Danger Zone, the last player was able to two shot me with his BR.
Maybe, there’s a way to calculate distance to the Safe Zone and minimize it based on obstacles and quickest route out of the Danger Zone? There’s definitely not enough time for someone to recharge before engaging, especially if the last Spartan is looking around.
So funny thing, I was in a stand off with one other player. I had one life, the other person had three. On my last life, I was able to take them out, which caused them to spawn in the Danger Zone. By the time I saw them coming out of the Danger Zone, I was able to 2-3 shot them with my BR. I whittled the last two of their lives down due to this.
I’m sure they were made having done so well to have three lives during the end game, but spawning in the Danger Zone was probably no fun.
At the smallest size of the danger zone it does make sense, because then you basically spawn inside your opponent’s reticle if you spawn in the safe zone.
This is true, but maybe implementing zone protection for a few seconds while you get yourself out would be a good idea? Of course, if your enemy sees you, you should still take damage, but I don’t think the zone should be hurting you as you’re spawning.
This would be an interesting mechanic to see how others can stay in zone for a touch while repositioning and getting the drop on an otherwise small safe zone.
Just implement no respawns like one or two circles before the last one. Encourages players to be more aggressive at the beginning /middle of the game for points.
This just happened to me as well. I had 3 lives left and kept spawning outside the safe zone. The final guy kept easily killing me with no effort. Hopefully 343 can fix that by spawning Spartans inside the safe area.
