Re: Not being able to reload next to a downed teammate is unacceptable!

There are 2 easy solutions for this.

Either

1. Check if the player tapped the reload/revive button or long pressed it. If it was a tap, perform reload. If it’s a long press, perform revive

2. If I am looking directly at my downed teammate -> revive. If I am not looking at them directly, and I am only simply near them then reload.

Pick one of these PLEASE respawn. Even Warzone gets this right by choosing option number 2!

This is me running into this issue earlier today for the 1000th time

  • Here is the 100000th time I have not been able to reload next to a downed teammate because it prioritises a revive. HOW IS THIS STILL AN ISSUE SINCE LAUNCH?

    2 possible solutions/fixes:

    1. Know the difference between a tap and a long press. Tap -> Reload, Long Press -> Revive

    2. OR have it based on whether you are looking at your downed teammate or looking somewhere else. Right now if you are within about 3 metres of a downed teammate it will prioritise a revive EVEN IF you are facing 180 degrees away from them.

    Even Warzone gets this one right by opting for option 2. They realise that teammates inevitably get downed during a firefight and they also realise that reloading your gun is important during a firefight.

    PLEASE RESPAWN, How in gods name is this still an issue since launch??? Please Acknowledge!!!!!!!!

    Best regards,

  • FYI - You can empty your entire magazine in your gun, then press shoot one more time to force a reload. But I’m usually dead before I realise whats going on, after I spam the reload button a couple times and run out of cover to try and remove the revive prompt in sheer panic
