Apex Legends – Do You Get a Win if Leaving After Dying?

This answer is based on my own experience and might be completely off!

From my experience I can say, that scopes do not influence the trajectory, but only make it easier to aim.

For example, take a sniper scope. Some of them have dots with the numbers 2, 3, 4 under the cross. If you now shoot at an enemy in a distance of up to 100 meter, you can see that there is no bullet drop. If the enemy is up to 200 meter away, you would need to aim with the dot with the number 2 next to it to actually hit the enemy. This means that for each 100 meter distance, the bullet drops by the distance between each dot in the scope.

Onto the close range scopes. I prefer the HOKV x1 scope as it has this red dot in the middle and no cluster around it. On short distance the bullets hit "exactly" where the red dot is (there is still weapon spread and other stuff making it not so exactly). Yet over greater distance the bullet still drops and the spread kicks in harder.

So overall, are only a visual help for the players as its for great distances hard to even see the enemy without a scope. They don't influence the trajectory of the bullets in any way.

The trajectory itself can't be influenced by any weapon modification, only the behavior of the weapon itself (recoil reduction through stabilizers).

From my personal in game experience it seems to be whoever had the best standing the round before. Placement seems to be the thing that decides it but sometimes there will be multiple people who won from the last round where it then checks for Points (Respawns, Kills, Revives, ect.)

This link has an answer from someone backing up what I said but also saying that Distance Traveled and Weapon Accuracy might come into play.

There isn't any official source saying what determines the champion squad so the only way to get an answer would be to experiment in game but that would still be hard with there being 60 players per game with no way to tell how the champion did last round.
