Throwable flares, used to mark an area of enemies for teammates, obtained from ammo box, and gives assists

Currently there isn’t really a way to mark enemies in a way that gives points to a player. This unfortunately often leads to a complete lack of communication, and greediness to get the kills, rather than help the team by marking it for someone else to get points.

  • My suggestion is to add a flare that can only be obtained from ammo boxes (even if you are full on ammo, you can obtain one of these flares, similar to how medboxes can give an extra medkit even if full, and the owner of the ammo box gets some points for it).

  • It is treated as a grenade. So the perk for 50% increased throwing distance applies.

  • Enemies killed within 30m of it give assist points to the player that threw it. It lasts like 30 sec. If there are multiple in the area, the assist points go to whoever’s flare was closest to the kill.

  • Provides good light. Is excellent to use indoors as well and can light up a room, making it great for building assaults as well.

  • Bright enough that it can be seen from aircraft. We all know that aircraft can be devastating, with this added feature the person that threw the flare for the aircraft to target also benefits.

Overall it would greatly help teamwork and communication, as well as reward players for providing accurate targeting information.

Thats why I suggested getting it from an ammo box. The dumb players don’t often visit ammo boxes, just swarm like you said. No issue. Its just an extra tool for players that want to play intelligently. I’ve met plenty of solo players that say they wish there was a more effective way of communicating with the team without having to be in a party/call with them.

I’d suggest a flare gun. Further reach and safer to use. Just make sure spamming it isn’t possible.

A flare “gun” would be too strong. That’s why I’m suggesting a thrown flare.
