Question about kits , limits and "holding kits"

Post by BeerHunter »

Kits are reserved for you when you die. The kit you recently had is reserved for you for up to 1 minute. If you want this kit again, spawn into the world normally and request that same kit.
so..when you spawn again , simply request the particular kit and it's yours..right?
Sniper, Heavy AT and AA kits take 5 minutes to return! It is therefore extremely important to pick up these strategically important kits from fallen teammates or your team will be lacking them for a long time!
so..if I'm near a sniper who falls , I can pick up the sniper kit..right?

so....

Are there any controls in place that would prevent for example , me picking up a snipers kit from a fallen sniper and he spawning and requesting the snipers kit that is held in reserve for him thus giving us 2 snipers (and more if this cycle could be repeated).

If I picked up any limited kit (ie sniper) is there any way I can return the kit to it's original owner (ie drop the kit rather than suicide) when he returns to the squad.

No you can't spawn more kits based on the reserve system. If you pick up the sniper kit and your sniper respawns he will be told it is already issued. This can happen too when the enemy takes your droped kits.

The trick I have use for a kit we need to keep is to stand there and pick it up, then wait a few seconds and grab my old kit off the ground, continuing to do this until my squad mate returns to grab his limited kit back. This only works if they spawn relatively close to you and your not under fire.

You can also move important kits to cover :)

You can pick up a kit from about 1.5 meters away but your kit will drop to the ground at exactly the place you were standing. So than you move 1.5 meter backwards and switch kits again. At this point the kit that was on the ground in the first place will be moved by 3 meters.
Also it takes, I think, 35 seconds for a kit to disappear so if you are holding a kit for some one you dont need to switch constantly.

No kit reservation anymore in v0.6. After you lost a kit, it goes back in the pool and will be available for everyone in a few seconds (except for sniper, HAT, HAA that takes 5 min to be available again).
