Bro… I’m still mad about this one in Apex Legends.
We’re out there trying to play the game, and my teammate decides to grab a bunch of weapons—like a light submachine gun/SMG—and then just… leaves me with whatever is left.
And what was left?
A shotgun.
Cool. Love that. Except it had no ammo.
Teammate grabs the guns and I’m stuck with a useless shotgun
So here’s the part that genuinely gets under my skin: he took multiple weapons, but he didn’t drop the ammo.
Not even enough to make the shotgun even remotely playable.
He walks off like, “Here you go, good luck,” and I’m standing there thinking I’ll have something decent… nope. I’m literally stuck with a shotgun with no ammo.
That’s the fastest way to turn a fight into frustration. Because the weapon is there, but you can’t do anything with it. You’re standing there holding a whole lot of nothing.
The shotgun has no ammo—he didn’t even drop it
And it’s not like I’m exaggerating the situation. The shotgun wasn’t just “low.” It was empty because the ammo wasn’t dropped.
That’s the key detail: he didn’t even leave me the bullets.
In Apex, loot sharing matters. If you take the guns, you have to think about what your teammate can actually use.
Because leaving your teammate with a gun that can’t fire doesn’t help the squad—it just puts you behind immediately.
Why I was extra mad: I was exposed in the open
Now, what makes it even worse is where it happened.
I wasn’t tucked away safe or behind cover. I was exposed in the open.
So I’m already dealing with the “uh-oh” pressure of being out in the open, and then I realize my teammate has left me with a shotgun that can’t shoot.
That combo? That’s rage fuel.
I admit it: I was so heated I didn’t even notice someone nearby
Here’s the funny part, and also the “yeah, that’s me” part.
I was so angry in the moment that I didn’t even clock that there was someone standing there.
Like I’m focused on the dumbest possible situation—“why is my shotgun empty?”—and I’m not even noticing what’s happening around me.
That’s how you know the frustration took over. I wasn’t thinking clearly anymore.
Squad tip: if you swap, at least drop the ammo
If you’re playing duos or squads, this is the whole lesson.
You can swap and move how you want. Take the better weapons, rotate, set up your angle—do your thing.
But if you’re taking loot, don’t forget the ammo.
Especially when it leaves your teammate with something like a shotgun that’s completely unusable.
Because in a game like Apex, you don’t just need a gun in your hand. You need it to work immediately.
If you take the weapon and leave your teammate with the wrong pieces—or no bullets at all—you’re basically volunteering them to be behind before the fight even starts.
Wrap-up: don’t be the teammate who leaves someone with a blank shotgun
That’s what this moment is for me: pure “bro, really?” energy.
My teammate took multiple guns, didn’t drop the ammo, and I ended up with a shotgun with no ammo while I was exposed in the open. I was so mad I even missed that someone was standing there.
So yeah—if you want fewer Apex Legends rage moments, here’s the rule I live by:
Take the loot, but drop the ammo so your teammate isn’t stuck holding a gun they can’t use.
