okay I have searched for a few posts regarding the addition of these to a class but haven’t heard anyone mention it.
I think it would be cool for us to place down a stationary high caliber gun on the floor, such as behind a window or watching a corridor. These shouldn’t be able to shoot by themselves, (must be manned by hitting F*) they should have limited ammo (maybe to be resupplied by support) they should not be a spawn point, and for whatever class it fits best with, (or perhaps the placement menu like a scorestreak) you should only be able to place one and it should be expensive. This could truly make defending places more intuitive. lastly, if it’s weak like other gadgets it could be fairly balanced, snipers/dmr’s make quick work of turret/gunner but turret mows down rushers🤔👍

yea, I agree with you. I dreaming about createble machineguns by supports or egeniers

#

OKI PLS

sweet kettle

it’s something that could be added fairly quickly and simply i hope without a bunch of quirks to it so essentially just a vehicle turret you can place like a mine and it would have a tremendous effect on games. I could see others have a lot of fun both setting these up at advantageous spots AND throwing c4 at em from outside of windows

I thought it would be cool to have the current (honestly kind of weak) high cal guns as stationary turrets so keep their damage for these, but revamp the vehicles’ guns because it truly would be unfair for these to 2 shot players, but the vehicles’ guns need to as when there’s more then 2 enemies in sight your vehicle is likely exploding soon

If they were a thing for a class only
Give it to engie

#

Fits more with its class and the class right now its kinda lost in terms of being unique outside of gamemodes with tanks

we could also go crazy & make the emplaced MG a CROW system one

sweet kettle
#

I think as long as the lines in the original suggestion are followed we’d have an amazing little turret placement thingy that’s not too busted, maybe even give them a glint lol but i doubt this would be needed if a few shots disabled it

next thorn
#

It could make it be something really strong but like
People do it with cars with machine guns mounted yet it can be easy to kill them

#

Now would it be a gadget or something like a building

sweet kettle
#

likely a gadget

#

because then you could resupply it at an airdrop for a high price and possibly put two in a building or such, if you make it a build able all classes get it and it’s no longer as special/helpful towards a specific class and it becomes more of a nuisance

next thorn
#

Favour of it being in the slot of rpgs for engie

abstract escarp
#

err ola

#

barbed wire & double hesco exists

next thorn
#

Choose betwenn killing tanks or killing inf

abstract escarp
#

also rallies by extention

sweet kettle
#

HG, who the hell guns people from barbed wire

#

barbed wire can’t shoot

#

i can’t get a vehicle turret inside a second floor building

abstract escarp
#

I meant those are locked to two classes

sweet kettle
#

ah I thought u we’re being a smartass lmao

abstract escarp
#

no

#

being blunt yes

#

Being a SA no

#

But CROW system as in a remote operated MG rather than full manual

next thorn
#

Honestly thinking right now being a gadget would be better
But i just see how it will works if the player that placed died or wanted to build another one

sweet kettle
#

well then tbh i could see them being buildable they would just need be limited to 1 and require a lot of points to make, this would actually balance them a bit further as it would take a few minutes to actually be able to place

abstract escarp
#

would let you add a glint & such

next thorn
#

Like would be capped at 2 per sentry being alive at the same time

#

Or disappear when the engie dies or runs out of ammo

sweet kettle
#

wether it’s a crow system or truly manned should be up for the devs as i think they like taking creative decisions for these lol

abstract escarp
#

aye fair

#

just shooting ideas

sweet kettle
#

but it’s a nice idea, much like the drone we already have

next thorn
#

I like how i started calling it sentry

abstract escarp
#

"I need to move that gear up"

sweet kettle
#

just pop out a tablet from under a staircase and defend outside the house, still fairly balanced it just can’t be a sentry gun^^😂😂

abstract escarp
#

"I need a dispenser over here"

sweet kettle
#

i liked the idea of it being a gadget because you can pick up every gadget

abstract escarp
#

err yes/no

#

Ammo boxes no

next thorn
#

Idk how ammo and medic boxes would be if you could pick them up

sweet kettle
#

thus this way it should keep its current ammo and maybe even health but you should be able to move em

abstract escarp
#

medkits can be picked up

next thorn
#

Oh they can

#

Never even trew it to begin with

abstract escarp
#

you should

#

if you are just holding a area it is rather nice

#

can heal while your gun is ready

#

or reload it

#
  • heal
#

did it with a evo on new district by a river

next thorn
#

Im more of a movement medic that prefers to keep moving and reviving qhile i let other medics heal

#

So kinda goes against my playstyle as a medic in general

sweet kettle
#

well hope they see this suggestion 🙏 like this one up yall after the discussion I believe that in many ways it could be implemented id see it as a good addition regardless

next thorn
#

Even in bf1 i would rarely drop bandagens and just focus on reviving since i had smokes ready for it

abstract escarp
#

I'll be blunt

#

I am either hyper aggressive or fairly passive

next thorn
abstract escarp
#

the passive being I stick to a place & go "This is home" for a bit

next thorn
#

Imagine just having a squad of builders both engies and support building a fort to hold a point

#

Would be quite something

sweet kettle
#

you could actually make a fort now not just a paper house with cardboard interior

abstract escarp
#

I shall state this warmou

#

you get me two buddies

#

and enough squad points

#

Wakistan bridges become normandy beach or WW1

next thorn
#

Call me up to that because it is lame being the only one doing it

abstract escarp
#

this is within 5-10 minutes depending on numbers of people doing it

next thorn
#

The closest i saw was in invasion tensatown, second phase point C

#

I build barricades
Put barbed wire and a shit to on mines

#

Mansged to hold it alot really well

abstract escarp
#

frugis tunnels here

next thorn
#

Ngl if building becomes well know and applied to almost every game, specially in invasion, i would love(for engie and assult) to get the closest to a demolition charge that can instantly blow building up

#

Im starting to over think because mortars is something i would love as a gadget 😭
