Can we have an option to pick up whichever gun we want from a dead soldier? Let’s say the dead soldier has an at gun, a rifle and a pistol. A menu should pop up when I try to pick up something and allows me to chose whichever I want to pick up. (it should be only one). A an example, just imagine a scenario when the at gunner dies in your squad. Another member picks up his At gun and has a chance to kill the tank. I know you can say just need to use explosive charges, but to do that you have to be close.
take a squad of nine soldiers each with a weapon and secondary or pistol maybe even daggers and the floor look’s like a flea market!

The items do not have to be shown on the ground, only the dead body. When you go over it a menu will come up with the selection. BTW a 9 soldiers squad is quite rare.

There’s a reason why you can’t loot classes for their equipment because then people will start spamming it imagine what it be like if there are multiple Flamethrower squads in the game because everyone kept looting the Flamethrower squads corpse.
And @61839981 when you finally get here please point out what a horrible idea this is Because people asking for the suggestion don’t seem to see a problem with it.

i mean, i guess it would be nice to have the AT rifle pickupable, but that also means i’ll be terrorized by a conga line of assholes shooting bazooka at me too.
uh, so basically, i rather have a way to pick up gun’s ammo only without needing to swap the gun back and forth.
let my AT squad AT gunner pick up the fully loaded magazine from their fellow homie corpse please?

Additional menus popping up in the heat of battle is NOT a good thing.

As GreyParrots pointed out, its done for balance. If you could just pick up the secondary weapons, you would see a lot of various issues. The one he explained for starters but also the issue of teammates molotoving each other to pull a flamethrower or something off their character’s corpse.

The idea of picking up weapons is there for when you run out of ammo or come across a better primary weapon. This is why when you pick it up, even if it WAS at full ammo, you only get a maximum of 2 mags.
You are encouraged to use ammo boxes to keep filled up on ammo, and encouraged to build up your squads for better equipment. -
If you are having issues with certain characters dying too quickly, consider using them as the controlled character and make smarter decisions, or perhaps take a safer route. Heck, even dig a trench or a foxhole for them to use. There are options to keep them alive, you just have to use them.

That is true but I’m not sure if you knew about this if you pick up multiple of the same weapon you get something like this.

I don’t think it is a real scenario that everybody will be running around with flamethrowers and bazookas with this option. Specially because you wouldn’t know who has these, they weren’t shown on the ground. But you would no where your squad member was killed and you can use your own equipment (with reduced “ammo”).
As long as the body persists, its REALLY obvious by the presence of a flame tank or AT weapon on their back.
I will reiterate in case you missed it:
Yes, I missed this because a normal player would never kill his teammates just to get their equipment. You must be one of the best teammate ever…
I see it even now in the case of MGs! Someone has a good MG, they will molotov their own team to pick it up. Additionally, people build barbwire around rally points with the intention of hurting and killing teammates…
Its really not that uncommon, and I GUARANTEE that being able to pick up things like AT launchers, flamethrowers, etc would only cause this to get much worse.
You don’t have to kill your teammates to get more ammo for your weapon if you’re playing in battle and the squad in front of you gets wiped out by artillery or tank shell and they have the same weapon if you’re carrying all you have to do is just pick up their weapon and you can keep getting more ammo as long as you keep Finding more copies of the same weapon.
