When placing an FOB 3 shovels or somthing spawn in a trangle shape on each sode of the fob neer the sandbags. looking like it is sticking out of the ground such as on the picture below.
you can pick up the shovel kit ( entrenching kit ) like you would be picking up an un armed kit. you Drop your current pack on the ground which will stay there for 5 minutes anyway unless some body steals it. giving you enough time to build the Fob and an asset before your kit disapears.
When you are shoveling an Fob you usuialy dont need your kit anyway unless you are under fire ( which is a good time to abandon your fob if your squad gets taken out anyway ) thus you probibaly did a poor job hiding your movement and deployment operations in the first place
...in real life if you were shoveling how often are you Holding your weapon + pack at the same time?? you would set your weapon aside and start shoveling what ever it is you are shoveling. and when you are finished, you would pick up your weapon and move on.
Pros: Having the shovel part of a totaly seperate kit, This will leave an Open weapon slot on most Kits. Such as For Paratroopers you can now have a parachute + incendiary which is an annoyance when playing maps such as yamalia or silent eagle.
Or what ever new Ideas the Devs can create for us.
Cons: This means that the SL can solo create Fob locations in remote areas without squad members thus taking away a small bit of gameplay and teamwork. When you think about it.... whats stoping a SL from just requesting an engineer kit or Crewmankit? so there isnt any real differnce
-also yes people will steal your kits sometimes but this can be fixed through team communication. " MUMBLE " Respecting your teammates and not causing problems for other people.
if entrenching kit isnt popular how about just giving unarmed kit a shovel.... but then you wouldnt be unarmed you would have a shovel -_- and hit the enemy over the head... and then u get shot.... and die...
Anyway,
Please give your thoughts ^_^
