The intention of this suggestion is to incentivize teamwork and to better equip players that may not have as much unlocked while still giving points to the players handing out weapons.
Essentially weapons that are ordinarily locked to a certain class (also determined by the weapons in the yellow upgrade tab), are given 1 crate can be built by that squad.
Limitations:
-
The squad that built the crate CANNOT pick up weapons from it
-
Each player is limited to one weapon from the crate
-
Each crate has up to 3 weapons
-
The weapons must all be “dropped” (the carriers killed) before that crate is allowed to be placed again
-
The weapons in the crate come from weapons placed in it in the loadout screen, allowing for higher “grade” weapons to be put in the crate, however, the weapons must be owned by the player.
-
Limited to SMGs, Shotguns, Rifles, Snipers, *AT Rifles, (again only weapons that are upgradeable in the yellow tab)
-
Special note: it was a suggested add to make only RIFLEMEN able to pick up weapons from crates. I do think this would definitely help reduce spam of OP weapons on already strong classes.
Benefits:
- Players that may not have as good of equipment can benefit from this
- It would help to better equip the extra rifleman troops
- The player that placed the crate gets assists from any kills with that weapon
- It can provide a better way to source reliable weapons than just picking them up off the ground
- Destroying enemy crates can yield high points according to how many weapons were left in the crate
