Editing How to play guide for Apex Legends (section)

== Looting etiquette ==
While loot generally goes to whoever discovers it first, there are some exceptions in order to maximize the team's potential. To check which items you and your teammates currently have, all you have to do is open your inventory.

Here's a list of items that have priorities among Legends:
* {{Legendary|Level 4}} {{ItemLink|Knockdown Shield|text={{Legendary|Knockdown Shield}}}}: if a Legend equipped with this item revives a Bleeding Out teammate, the revived Legend will receive 50 bonus health and shields, that stack with the base 20 health given after the revive. It is wise to give this item to, in order:
** [[Newcastle]], due to {{AbilityLink|Retrieve the Wounded}} allowing him to Revive teammates while shielding both of them at the same time, along with being able to move around while doing so;
** [[Lifeline]], [[Gibraltar]], or [[Mirage]] (They are equal)
*** [[Gibraltar]], due to {{AbilityLink|Dome of Protection}} allowing him to Revive in an (almost) unbreakable dome 33% faster than other Legends;
*** [[Mirage]], due to {{AbilityLink|Now You See Me...}} allowing him to turn almost fully invisible while Reviving, as well as 3 seconds cloak after revive;
*** [[Lifeline]], due to {{AbilityLink|Combat Medic}} allowing her to fight and revive 2 teammates at the same time; considered slightly lesser than Newcastle due to her revive exposing teammates to attacks;
** [[Bangalore]], due to {{AbilityLink|Smoke Launcher}} creating a curtain of smoke which hides her while performing actions;
** [[Caustic]], due to {{AbilityLink|Nox Gas Trap|text=Nox Gas Traps}} and {{AbilityLink|Nox Gas Grenade}} creating a curtain of gas which hides him while performing actions.
* {{Legendary|Level 4}} {{ItemLink|Helmet|text={{Legendary|Helmet}}}}: although being a valuable item for basically every Legend due to shortening the cooldown of Tactical and Ultimate abilities by 15%, [[Octane]]s should '''''NEVER''''' pick up this item over other Legends, due to his Tactical and Ultimate recharge at, respectively, 1 second and 90 seconds. Everyone knows he's fast, he doesn't need to be faster when there's Legends such as [[Gibraltar]] whose Ultimate cooldown can last up to 4.5 minutes.
* {{ItemLink|Ultimate Accelerant|text={{Rare|Ultimate Accelerant}}}}: Accelerants are items generally favored by all Legends, but the one Legend that makes the best use out of them is [[Wattson]]. This is due to her {{AbilityLink|Spark of Genius}} ability, not only allowing her to stack 2 of them in the same inventory slot, but also have them fully charge her Ultimate instead of the usual +35%.
*'''[[Light machine gun]]s''': [[Rampart]] should be encouraged, but not required, to pick up an LMG due to her {{AbilityLink|Modded Loader}} ability that boosts reload speed and mag size of all LMGs.
*'''[[Ordnance]]''': [[Fuse]] should be '''highly''' encouraged, but not required, to pick up every single type of grenade he sees due to his {{AbilityLink|Grenadier}} ability, allowing him to stack 2 grenades of the same type in the same inventory slot and throw them more accurately.
*'''[[Shotgun]]s''': [[Mad Maggie]] should be encouraged, but not required, to pick up a shotgun due to her {{AbilityLink|Warlord's Ire}} ability that allows her to run shotgun-in-hand without being slowed down.

Also, it is highly recommended to '''respect dibs'''. Stealing a teammate's dibsed item may lead to reactions that vary from mild annoyance to straight up toxicity and intentional griefing, such as: alerting the whole lobby of your whereabouts, pushing a team alone, committing suicide (in-game of course), quitting the match, or all of them at the same time. Some teammates' abilities can also be used to purposely grief others, for example: Newcastle can drag a downed teammate into line of fire or off the map (seriously, do not steal his knockdown shield). Don't steal your teammate's {{Rare|Level 2}} {{ItemLink|Shotgun Bolt|text={{Rare|Shotgun Bolt}}}}, you'll find another one for yourself, we promise.
