Perhaps a flashing icon and on screen message that “Player Name has a deployed a beacon” so new players know they can spawn closer to the objective.
The player placed spawn beacons could always be seen as a blinking icon from the respawn screen.
When player goes to respawn a screen prompt “choose spawn location” and a list of spawn locations along with each spawn point flashing on map. We really need something extra to get player’s attention.
I swear I don’t think most players know that they can choose where they can spawn because I’ll have a defensive beacon up 40 meters from the objective and my entire team will continue to spawn 130 meters away the entire match at the default spawn locations.

tbh it’s noticeable anough, it’s icon is already similar to that of fixed spawn.
Those that don’t use RP probably don’t want to wait when RP become unavailable or don’t know that you have to wait sometime.
or they’re just bots, because bots don’t use RP and we all know most of the time they’re atleast 30-50% of the team.
Well I know first hand from playing w friends on voice comms and showing my Dad how to play Enlisted the other night in person that new players don’t know they can choose spawn locations.
I tell them “spawn on the beacon” and they ask “how??” or “where is it?”.
As far as beacons being greyed out and temporarily unavailable, there needs to be on screen information telling players why they can’t use a beacon. “Enemy near by” or a message that the beacon is currently being used with a countdown timer showing when you can spawn in.
