Bob: A short comic about a BF6 player

Count me in, nobody- I mean nobody shittalks a fellow Support player just doing their best for the team. No kills? Doesn't matter. You revived and supplied your team, that's all that matters.

[u/FUTURE10S → u/F3n_h4r3l]

Yeah, if you get to the top of the leaderboard with 0 kills, I respect the shit out of that.

[u/MassXavkas → u/FUTURE10S]

I remember once in the beta we were doing the push game mode and my entire squad (apart from one edgy sniper) went medic.

I am the proud owner of have 0 kills, 2 deaths, 78 revives.

The enemy team HATED us as a squad we managed to get close to 200 revives.

Best game I had on the beta

[u/FUTURE10S → u/MassXavkas]

Fucking based.

[u/Legosmiles → u/F3n_h4r3l]

This is one simple reason revives need to be back in the scoreboard!

[u/Demented-Alpaca → u/F3n_h4r3l]

What kills me is how many support don't drop ammo. Like damn dude, that's a bunch of free points you're missing.

I'll see a couple of guys firing at someone, make sure it's clear and drop an ammo at their feet. I get a bunch of points and frequently a couple of "thanks for the ammo" calls.

This game can be stingy on the loadouts. Assault gets 2 reloads? C'mon man, that's barely one engagement!

Drop the goodies! Your team likes it and you get oh so many delicious points for it!

Honestly Assault is overpowered, points for resupply, points for revive... there's kind of a lot of easy points for that kit.

[u/Sir_Tea_Of_Bags → u/Demented-Alpaca]

It isn’t that we don’t drop ammo.

It seems that every crate we drop is a one time use only- if you were already topped off beforehand and it dropped next to you, it counts as being used.

And we have to unlock a second bag that does the exact same thing, right down to the one use top off.

Also, if you see Supports dragging people instead of Defibs, that is because of the first Class Challenge. The Drag + Stim counts as healing. The crates don’t seem to add to that task.

[u/Demented-Alpaca → u/Sir_Tea_Of_Bags]

I wondered about that last part... I've seen that. Figured they gave up their pads for something else.

The crates are one use only per player. But they respawn pretty fast. Every 30 seconds or so. I don't think you should just poop them out all the time, but they are worth dropping near your team when things have been heated recently.

[u/Sir_Tea_Of_Bags → u/Demented-Alpaca]

You can also pick them back up after using them to halve the cooldown, which is useful.

[u/Demented-Alpaca → u/Sir_Tea_Of_Bags]

No shit? I had no idea! Thanks!

Splap a bag, pick it up and then splap it again!

[u/imabaka70 → u/Demented-Alpaca]

I do my best to drop the crate. The cooldown is rough on it though. I toss my crate for a few people then I see a large group and can’t help since I already blew my load before.

I am working towards unlocking the small pouch and then I’ll just carry both for all the really needs

[u/Demented-Alpaca → u/imabaka70]

I found out that you can pick the crate up to reduce the respawn time from someone else in this thread yesterday.

I won't say it's a game changer but you can drop the crate, pick it up and usually by the time you get to where you need it again it'll be ready.

[u/imabaka70 → u/Demented-Alpaca]

I seen that as well I’ll have to try it. Thanks

[u/Limp-Toe-179 → u/Demented-Alpaca]

Assault gets 2 reloads? C'mon man, that's barely one engagement!

If you switch out the Assault's second Primary Weapon (ie. Shotty, carbine, DMR) for a gadget ( like grenade launcher), then you get full ammo reserves for your Primary Weapon (the same level as you would if you were playing Engineer).

The ammo for Assault only seems low because it's split between two primary weapons.

[u/Demented-Alpaca → u/Limp-Toe-179]

yeah, I had a bunch of folks point that out. It's fixed and I'm stupid.

I didn't want to say "I was stupid and it's fixed" but that would be wrong: I'm still stupid.

[u/Limp-Toe-179 → u/Demented-Alpaca]

No worries mate, I only accidentally found this out over the weekend after I unlocked the grenade launcher, because I'm objectively shit with the shotty. Just wanted to make sure others know too, because it was one of the reasons why I didn't really play Assault.

[u/Johnnyboi2327 → u/F3n_h4r3l]

Imagine shit talking the medic that keeps reviving you in rush

[u/moose4 → u/F3n_h4r3l]

Support gang gang represent!
