The title is self-explanatory. I've looked in the manual but it is not stated.

You have to stab it with a knife. Only way to disable it.

no there is a set distance to over run if you have 3+ people near it

Rallys are overrun with 2+ people in a 50m radius. Not sure about FOBs though.

probably the same with FOB's as well ^^^^ but with FOB's the spawn returns after a set time.

Gah, I replied 50m but it apparently eated my post.

But yes, it's 40-50m, though sometimes it doesn't work -- had a whole squad of mine come up to an enemy fire base and guys were still spawning.

Can developers confirm or deny what's going on here? Lots of info. Going around! While appreciated, want to make sure I have correct info.

i was wondering too, because yesterday on a muttrah server, the US had placed a RP in a pool of water somehow and we couldnt disable it.

2 enemies on a 50m radius will disable the spawn point.

It doesn't matter how many friendlies are close, that doesn't affect it.

It takes a few seconds to do it as it's a static timer running every few seconds.

There's also a relative distance/enemies thing based on map size, meaning it will also disable the spawn point if:

6 enemies are in a 150m radius in 4 Km maps
4 enemies are in a 100m radius in 2 Km maps

The 2 enemies in 50m radius rule is true for all map sizes.
