In the BR world, these are referred to as "Seagulls" or "3rd Party". Basically you have to learn to play around that situation because its a fundamental part of any BR, simply due to it being an effective strategy to jump into an existing fight and use your superior HP pool and element of surprise to clean up the scraps and take the spoils for yourself. 

Ideally you want to be very aware of your surroundings when taking any engagement, keep expecting the seagulls to arrive. Try and stay slightly detached from engagements so you can dip out of them if needed and rotate to put the other guys "in the middle" so to speak. YOU want to be the seagull, think like a seagull, be opportunistic. Look for easy/weak targets, pick on other fights and always shoot the guy who has the upper hand in a fight so that you can weaken them both as much as possible. There's no point seagulling a fight and shooting the 1HP target who was fighting a full HP guy, because now you have 1 full HP tank left and you just gave him the loot so you accomplished nothing other than advancing 1 position. Shoot the higher HP and that way you are basically working together with the weaker guy to punish the stronger one, with the goal of both of them dying and you can swoop in for a double bag of loot.

I'm not speaking from a heap of steel hunter experience but more from my roughly 6-7k hours in the BR genre. They're all the same, save for their individual metas, the core meta stays the same in BR.

While all of what Pity says is true, I think with SH you just have to accept that sometimes you're going to have to get stuck in and you'll get picked off because the game-mode is just that shitty. It really, really isn't helped by the vision mechanics where you cannot even tell someone is there unless you ping them on the radar or have direct line-of-sight and are actually looking at them, so if they position right it is simply impossible for them to not get the jump on you.

I take back everything I said, people are just blatantly teaming in every game on NA now. Fuck this mode.

Do you have it set to a mouse button (mmb) or a keyboard button? Try rebinding it to the keyboard if its on your mouse to see if it still happens. Usually the MMB doing multiple inputs per click is the first thing that goes wrong on a worn out mouse. If you have it on KB already then I have never seen that!

Good point. I'm using an office mouse since I am investing 0 in my gaming laptop given it's largely unproductive
