Dissapearing Medic/Supply

[D|sso]

Was playing KarKand and the thought came across my mind,

Do the Medic/Ammo Bags dissapear over a certain period of time? I'm pretty sure they do after recently seeing a few dissapear before my eyes a second before I reached them!

I used to wonder why the heck there werent medic packs covering litterally EVERY inch of the map since players obviously are spamming packs 24/7.

Just like C4, I think the medic/ammo starts dissapear, after you've thrown 7 (or was it 5 or 6, heh )of them. For everyone new after that, the oldest one will dissapear.

Supose there's a timelimit as well...

Re: Dissapearing Medic/Supply

You can only put out a fixed number of medic bags, ammo bags, mines, claymores, and C4. IF you drop another after you've already tossed your max, the first one you tossed vanishes.

They also fade out over time, but it takes quite awhile.

Oh wow, this is truly a first for me; Had no idea! Thanks for the clarification.

Anyone know what IS the maximum amount allowed out at once though?

I would always drop all my C4 at one flag, and resupply my C4 from a nearby supply crate. So that means all im doing is canceling those out! ugh.

Re: Dissapearing Medic/Supply

Engineer and So have a max of whatever they start with (5 for both isn't it?) so the 6th will replace the first you laid I believe.

Does anyone know for medic/supply?

Do the stay put until the person why placed them dies (like engineer/SO) ?

Ohh, Good point as well!

Just like the C4, when you die as medic/support, Do your medic/supply packs dissapear as well?

Re: Dissapearing Medic/Supply

As far as i know its 5 for all the classes you can drop 5 of anything but as soon as you drop the sixth the first disapears . As for the c4 you can get resupplied without the c4 disapearing it wont disapear untill you drop one (well from my experience anyway).

EDIT : And if you die they do disapear eventually .

Also, they remain active for I believe 1 minute after you have died however after that they dissapear.

Ah, yes for the C4, so that someone can take your kit and blow the C4 for you.

not if you don't drop anymore. You can reload just fine, but not drop anymore, or the first set will start disappearing.

Re: Dissapearing Medic/Supply

When an engineer dies the mines don't fade for about 30seconds or so.

Someone told me that if an engineer (on RED team) lays mines, gets killed and teamswitched (to BLUE team), then the mines still think that he's on the original team and results in teamkills if his new enemy (RED team) drive over them.

Can anyone confirm this?

Re: Dissapearing Medic/Supply

Yes that's correct ptegan.

Also, the limit is 5 for everything.

Unless you pick up your old kit (doubtful you'll make it, but it happens sometime). Then kills will be registered correctly.
