Gonna be tough to win going Rambo lol. I have 5 wins and every time I’ve won I’ve dropped at quarry or lumber. Get in a couple fights right away, and win those, and start completing recon contracts. This will show your where the next circle will be before anyone else. Once you secure your landing area, get fully looted and start working towards high ground in the circles but avoid confrontation until it’s right in front of you. Going out of your way for it, it’s not that you will necessarily lose that initial fight, but you will get third partied, especially in later circles. I have a couple wins and a couple runner ups in the last two nights and my team had 12 kills in one win and 15 in the other so nothing crazy. That said, going Rambo is definitely way more fun. Dropping at hospital will force you to do that.
I’ll drop my activision account later in here, has a bunch of numbers in it I don’t remember.
I like to drop at the prison as long as the circle isn't starting at the northwest corner of the map.
I go for the cells underneath, rather than dropping onto the towers. There is sooooooo much loot, and in the games I've played, only one or two other guys will try to do the same thing. Stock up on cash, armor, ammo, and a couple of good guns right away. Then you can wait for a minute or two to listen for footsteps on the metal walkways.
I usually start with a kill or two just by surprising guys as they arrive after me to look for loot. They sprint around making noise, so it's easy to pinpoint them coming down the stairs and blast them before they know what's happening.
Then I head out through a sewer tunnel, use my cash to grab a UAV and a self-revive kit, and I'm off and moving to the next POI.
If I can't drop at the prison, I like to drop on top of an apartment building up the hill from the TV station. There's usually a decent gun and some ammo, and then you can parachute down to some shorter buildings to loot or find other players to surprise.
Hospital is my third choice. High-tail it to land on the roof first, grab a SCAR or M13, then pick guys off as they try to land or come up the ladders.
If I get a good start, regardless of where I drop, I like to go to the cranes at the port. There's usually a loot box or a bolt-action sniper rifle on one of the cranes near the end. You can chill for a minute and wait for movement, and plenty of cover in the operator's compartment and from the railings if you start firing at someone.
