The gas mask needle thing is really frustrating, but just assumed my controller was glitchy. Still feels like we can use the madk and needle at same time.
As for ammo/health boxes…Dice changed them from BF4. If they don’t clearly fit, they don’t drop (though the soldier still says it dropped). A smaller box would help, as would allowing them to land on rocks, etc. It’s like Dice never figured out how to keep objects from conflicting.
