There should really be a way to either drop the flag or not automagically pick it up if touched. If my teammate dies next to me with the flag and I’m trying to snipe or sword lunge or sprint away or anything else, the last thing I want is to suddenly be holding the flag…
Or if you have rockets and want to drop flag so the guy with starter weapons or no ammo can pick it up…
The only upgrade is being able to use pistol, otherwise I won’t touch the flag, it just leaves you defenseless if you get caught in a jam.
