I’m really starting to lean towards a thieves gallery due to the number of times I get robbed. The teammates push you out of the way to get YOUR reward… Even when you choose a secluded area to call the drop in the bloody tea leaf spawns on you and gos “Right, I’m 'aving that!”
Anyone else noticed this happening?
Never happened to me. I’ve only had my ordinance stolen 2-3 times, and that was by the enemy after I’d died trying to pick it up for myself.
It doesnt happen often but it is nasty when it does.
I have had this happen several times. Coupled with the fact that personal ordnance markers sometimes don’t appear, it is quite annoying.
out of the hundreds ive had not a single one has been stolen by a team mate. it takes longer for them to pick your box up than you too. your doing it wrong dude.
The only time I’ve had it stolen is when the marker doesn’t come up and I can’t find it… That has only happened a couple of times though.
I did have one time though that I got a binary rifle and when I picked it up I accidentally picked up the weapon next to it immediately after. Needless to say when I tried to grab the binary rifle back someone ran in and took it from me… I agree that it’s pretty frustrating.
How do you get it stolen alot?
It takes about 3 good seconds for someone to steal it when its instantaneous for you
But you bet your sweet spartan -Yoink- if I see you called in a FRG/Sniiper Im going to do everything in my power to steal it ;D
This is why ordinance has a collection timer on it for someone who didnt order it. If you cant get to it and pick it up before a team member has walked over, held the button in for several seconds doing jack, and walked away with your drop then its not really fair to complain.
It takes you zero time to collect your drop, if you get killed before you pick it up well thats just bad luck. Its better a team member picks it up in your absence rather than an enemy taking it.
If however someone is betraying to get your drops, kill the -Yoink- whatever team he is on.
If i am playing with my buds ill ask if they need it like the saw.
Only time I had mine "stolen " was from my teammates, and only when I tell them to take them.
> If i am playing with my buds ill ask if they need it like the saw.
i do this too. If I am doing good with my loadout and I see my ordinance doesnt have what i want I ask if anyone wants, x,y or z. then give it to them. if I am playing with a beast with a sniper I will let him have it. whatever helps my team to win.
They should make it so the original caller gets it instantly picked up and anyone who is trying to steal it on either team has a pick up time like 3 to 4 seconds before they actually grab the ordinance.
I have never had this happen thankfully… On a related note though, I have started entertaining the idea of calling in a support drop I have no intention of using and allowing my team to appropriate it thereby turning the drop into a support drop…different tactics could/will change the battle!
@ Firesenz,that has.been happening since the game’s release.
You realize your teammate has to stand still in front of it holding X (or their control equivalent) for about 3 full seconds to steal it right?
You can pick it up instantaneously.
If you are getting it stolen, I really question how hard you are actually trying to get it.

Unless you die trying to get it and then spawn on the other side of the map. It happens.
I’ve never had my ordinance stolen even when surrounded by teammates and/or enemies. I’ve even died and had to cross the map to get my ordinance and it was sitting there waiting for me.
I do love to steal Ordnance from people, hearing their cries and screams of rage make me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Well, while some players are just jerks and will betray their own teammates for their own benefit, I honestly can’t see how anyone frequently loses their own personal ordinance…I’ve never had it happen. I mean, it spawns right in front of you within seconds. If you can’t get to it, that’s unfortunate.
That said, I’d rather my teammates get to my ordinance than the enemy.

What? Isn’t that how it works? Whenever I’ve seen someone drop an ordnance and dying before getting it, I’ve always had to hold down X in order to pick it up, but taking my own ordnance works instantly.
