Automatic grabbing of reanimated people like in BF6

If someone doesn't like it, you can do it as an option

[chrome canopy]

it literally has a keybind for it

[past wolf]

Now you have to press 2 buttons at the same time, and also press WASD to move

[chrome canopy]

most all rebind it to the same key

[polar patio]

Rn not beneficial to bind both to the same key

Dragging slows you down and sometimes its better to yeet the body or move and revive at the same time

[chrome canopy]

to grab and bandage? its the norm, and has been since the start

and yes, there are reasons not to do it, most still do

anyway at least its a choice, I doubt its gonna be one in BF6

[polar patio]

For short distances sure

But if you need someone in cover fast or to just keep yourself alive, its better to seperate them

[chrome canopy]

unless your a medic

in which case it doesn't matter

[polar patio]

Yeah no someone like benny would beg the differ

[chrome canopy]

it doesn't slow you down, so unless you are the spin bot type, it doesnt effect you

[past wolf]

The main problem is that 90% of players don't drag a body during resurrection because they don't know about this mechanic or it hard for them. If automatic grabbing were enabled by default, it would be better for most. Everyone else can set up as they like

[polar patio]

Locking yourself into walk speed seems like slowing down to me

[chrome canopy]

so again, unless you are spinbotting while reviving, it doesn't effect you.

anyway medic is much faster while dragging

[polar patio]

Yeah id still not prefer auto drag

[viscid basin]

I see players die to having drag and bandage double bound pretty often. They will accidentally grab downed enemies while bandaging themselves and running to cover. Or they have too many conflicts in keybinds and accidentally enter exit and enter vehicles while bandaging. Sometimes, they will revive other players outside of cover because the time to drag a player to cover is longer than the time to revive.

But we don't know what the update will bring. If something like this were implemented, I think it would be best to be able to separate keybinds for bandaging yourself and reviving others. And also changing the default drag mechanic to hold instead of toggle.

A side note - currently, if you hold 3 (or whatever your bandage keybind is), the game chooses to either bandage you or bandage others (this leads to frustration). If you tap 3 and swap to bandage, you can use right mouse to bandage others and left mouse to bandage yourself. The prompt says to hold 3, so I don't think most people know.

[polar patio]

That last part REALLY annoys me

Its often better to hold 3 to bandage myself as it automatically goes back to whatever i had equipped before

Its simply faster, but having to do the longer way to avoid bandaging someone else sucks

[viscid basin]

Yeah, I have it on a side mouse button and do the same. I had to open the game to make sure I wasn't misremembering how the mouse button thing worked.

Bbr identity crisis my beloved

Actually does matter

People camp bodies all the time, in those situations fling it out of harms way and make the guy come to you

Also you main support why are you complaining about medics wanting to be fast to avoid danger whilst reviving, are you that same person camping bodies?

[chrome canopy]

main support?

[chrome canopy]

don't know man, it only matters for the spinbot players. It won't affect you if you want to toss a body away.

[deft rose]

So doing a quick 180 turn to chuck the body in that direction is being a “spinbot” player?

Because that’s how I do it on the rare occasions I play medic (which I still think is the weakest class but besides the point)

[deft rose]

I know you main support man

Im telling you I can see the conflict of interest because you’re a positional player who would camp those bodies

Nothing wrong with that if you want to deny revives, I just find it funny you think people finding ways around such tactic is a problem

[polar patio]

This actually makes so much sense now

[high marten]

Update will fix it trust

Being able to fling is dumb but we have wannabe squad medic bs so eh whatever

[deft rose]

Dont worry guys, camping away from the objective in the middle of nowhere will save the game

Source: trust me bro I play HLL and teamkill when someone doesn’t play in a super serious way like I do

[chrome canopy]

I'm a medic/Engineer main? the only times I play support is when I need the challenges lol

hell i don't even play engi as much anymore and stick with medic

[deft rose]

either way flinging people around is a strategy

Even if you think it’s dumb, situatuonal, whatever, it has uses.

And it will until 360ing/fast turning witth movement gets adjusted in the soon™

[chrome canopy]

Literally doesn’t affect flinging? Like at all? Grabbing is what slows you down not reviving. If you’re flinging the guy away, why does it matter?

[manic ferry]

ppl really double bind bandaging and dragging?

[deft rose]

Fling ally away quickly > turn around to hopefully kill enemy > revive ally after

[deft rose]

Yep. Some people think its viable, others not so much. Guess it ultimately depends on playstyle but in the heat of the moment its not ideal imo

[manic ferry]

tried it a bit and found it really annoying. Died a few times bec of it

and then never used again

[polar patio]

Lets not forget you can deny revives also if you fling enemy bodies away

Notably on waki

[polar patio]

You do know how corpse flinging works ya?

[torpid sage]

It kinda will because I saw defibs

And I saw every time somebody got drag revived it was with a stim shot
