Tips are all nice, but I find this very frustrating. The meteors come down really far away from the spots that I am usually at, by the time I get there, the meteor is either gone or “lost”.
I am not a highly equipped player, and some of the tips seem to be more for pros (I have never found enough gems to make my own gem tools, never mind having enough coins to buy any). Recently I saw a meteor coming down not too far away, made my way to it and someone grappled past me so fast, that I couldn’t even see the player, I only saw the grapple line shooting past me and then going further away and further away. By the time I got to the meteor, it was completely looted and only the lootbox was left and the in the distance I saw the player icon in the radar disappearing in a portal.
So at this point I feel like this is only an event for Elite players and not for the usual casual player like me.
That’s my whining about this. Sorry. 
Probably the worst event so far, the others were quite fun and less frustrating.
