Hopefully, being able to take ammo and meds will be a feature, it should also take points of the person you took them from for being a bad team player and not having the packs out in the first place,

Ammo boxes should be compulsory

And so should defibs or medkits Either one of those

ammo and health crates are the answer. If a teammate isn’t dropping, then hit a crate on a flag.

I never liked how easy it is to spam medical and ammo boxes. So giving the player the ability to take health/ammo from teammates just adds to the aracdeness of the game. I say no please.

What if you get like 10 ammoboxes and 10 medicbags? Refill on base. Refills from commander. You meant arcadeness right?

I think you should be able to take ammo from the players that have it just by bumping into them. I hate asking for ammo and jumping up and down and being ignored. I also don’t like turning in to the back of an aircraft carrier or going into the tunnel on wave breaker and my boat sticks to the side like theres a huge magnet keeping me there.

Sounds great to me, very annoying to spam ammo/medic and get nothing.  
Say hi to your bro for me.

I still say no no no. It tales away from the teamwork aspect of the game which the game was designed around. So…no. Plz and thanks

How does it impair teamplay?

Because people don’t NEED to thrown down ammo or health? They certainly still can and will. All that changes is we get a workaround to dumb oblivious players who don’t play their role well.

As I said before, if anything it actually increases teamwork because the players who weren’t going to help you before have no choice but to give you needed ammo or health.

I agree if you’re going to be able to just take ammo from the support, why even give him ammo at all. In that case just scatter ammo crates around the map.

You wouldn’t do that Bc it takes away from the role a class was designed to fill. Either y’all are way better survivors than me or I die too much. Because I’ve never had enough issues with running out of ammo that I wanted to alter a class lol. Sure we’ve all ran out of rockets or c4 but I can usually have a squad mate who fills me back up.

To read this thread it sounds like there’s a world wide pandemic of supports who hate their teammates and purposely don’t throw ammo. What type of people do y’all play with? What region out of curiosity ?

This makes no sense whatsoever. So just because there’s a secondary option to take ammo instead of throwing it down, we should eliminate the ammo box all together?

Why don’t people understand that there are situations where taking the ammo is easier and situations where a support running up to a group, throwing down ammo, and continuing to advance, is also viable.

Taking and giving ammo can quite easily coexist. One doesn’t make the other obsolete as they both work well in different situations.

Having the ability to simply “take” ammo/meds from those roles in passing is one step closer to having an auto-resupply game assist feature. Giving points to a medic or support player without them having to do anything is exactly the same as saying “Spawn as a This! You’ll get points for just walking around”.

No. Teamwork means you are relying on someone else to help you much like you would help them. Teamwork teamwork teamwork. That’s what it comes down to. Taking ammo/health from others is not teamwork at all and only encourages the lonewolf play style.

They’re not coexisting  
One is simply taking what they want. Without the use of teamwork , and is reducing the role a support is suppose to play. Bc he no longer has to give it.

Should I auto heal everytime I bump into a medic? Or have my tank repaired everytime I run over who ever is carrying the repair tool?
