I like the new REQ system, but there are some things I don’t like about it. The biggest problem I have is when I spawn in a power weapon and then immediately die before I can use it. Then, the weapons despawn so quickly that I can’t get it back. Today, I had such an occurrence.
I was in Battle of Noctus and decided to spawn in a Sniper Rifle because the map is perfect to sniping. I looked at the garage while I waited to respawn to make sure it was safe. It appeared safe, so I spawned in. Almost immediately, enemies came into the garage and killed me at close range, so I never got to use my sniper. I then waited for my REQ level to go back up to 6, and when it did, I spawned another Sniper Rifle. Again, enemies suddenly came into the base and killed me. I lost 2 Sniper Rifles and 12 REQ levels without ever firing a single Sniper shot.
What I’m proposing is that a system should be added where if you die before firing a REQ weapon, the item and REQ levels are restored. Do you think such a system should be implemented? Leave you thoughts in the comments!
