It finally appears the worst may be over, but our reality will be much different moving forward. Since Friday, March 13, I’ve left my apartment a grand total of six times.

This place has a lot of loot crates and most of them are over a large area so be prepared to run. It's on the edge of the map so it tends to be out of the circle pretty quickly so make this location a quick loot and go. It does have a few buildings that are multi-leveled so combat doesn't get too crazy.

Still, a team that drops here uncontested can walk away with decent guns and at least a blue shield or two.

Revenant happens to have a rarely occurring animation when summoning his Ultimate ability called Death Totem.

Many of these studio employees have children, which means they had to rearrange their own lives to care for their children and support them through remote learning. Though many workers may relish being able to work in their pajama pants, they're facing innate challenges without the interpersonal aspects of working together at a stu<br><br> <br>Drop locations will have a small variation depending on where the dropship is entering the area. For example, the ship might be coming by way of the Artillery and then the next game it can start from the Hydro Dam. The important item to note here is that no matter where the ship enters the area, it's important to make decisions quickly as players have probably already dropped and are looting while decisions are being made.
